Original:

Jellyfish Give a Toxic Sting Without Tentacles


If you have ever gotten out of the water from a swim at the beach, you may have experienced a strange itchy or burning feeling. It is called stinging water and the cause is still unknown; however, scientists may have an answer. They believe a type of jellyfish called the Cassiopea might be the suspect of the stinging water. These jellyfish have a soft, and circular body with tentacles floating above them. They sting their victims by releasing mucus into the water, but scientists have never explored what in the mucus is causing the irritation. The plumes of mucus that are released have tiny spheres and are covered nematocysts, which regular jellyfish stinging cells have. Studying this animal can lead to and understanding the biological process which can both help humans and animals.

      • This is a great, clear title! Good job.

These jellyfish have a soft, and circular body with tentacles floating above them.

      • Remove "and" from the sentence. You do not need it. 
 They believe a type of jellyfish called the Cassiopea might be the suspect of the stinging water.
      • The word "suspect" should be replaced with "source" for clarity. "Suspect" doesn't quite fit with the context and is out of place.

The plumes of mucus that are released have tiny spheres and are covered nematocysts, which regular jellyfish stinging cells have.

      • Add the word "with" before "nematocysts" for clarity.

Studying this animal can lead to and understanding the biological process which can both help humans and animals.

      • This sentence is unclear. I assume you were trying to say "...can lead to an understanding of the..." instead of "...and understanding the..." Try changing the sentence to "Studying this animal can lead to a better understanding of the biological processes, which can help both humans and animals." This was a great way to end your summary. Excellent job!

      • I enjoyed reading your summary. Simply double-checking your work in the future would add a lot more clarity, as your errors were all "simple mistakes." Great job!
