classification challenge

This is an emerald shiner. It can grow to 3.5 inches in length. It is mostly found in oceans across north America from Canada to the gulf of Mexico. It feeds on small insects like zoo plankton. It is mostly used as bait fish . Its family includes the deuterostomas fish, the xenoturbellida fish  , and the craniates fish. It is not a rodent. It is similar to its family because they have similar skin colors and they all are water fish. They are different because some of the  family lives in oceans while the emerald shiner lives in lakes and ponds.It doesnt have a back bone it just has fins and a tails and of course a fish body.  

cricket investigation

     Do crickets prefer light or dark environments? My hypothesis is that I think that they would prefer the light environments because in the dark they can't see where they are going or where the other crickets are. I  also think that they might like the light environment because they can see the other crickets and things also they will see the food.
     crickets like food like seeds, meat, fungi,plant decay, and grass so maybe if we put those foods in a jar with them they will go to the light side because they can see the food. they like sunlight so maybe they will like light because it will keep them warm. they might go to the light becuase in the dark they might just fall asleep or not move.

science and I # 5

          This week we in science I learned about animal behaviors. I learned about rockets and the launchers and the different animal behavior. We learned a lot about how different animals react to different things. We watched animals in different videos and i learned that animals might act different that you think. We learned a lot about how to make our conclusion better and have more detail than before. We finished our rocket project and how to make it better.
          This week in science we did many things. We finished our rocket investigations and edited our conclusions. We investigated the crickets putting them in categories like things we notice , things we observed , things we are wondering and drawing them. we have to do our cover page this weekend end for our second unit. Lastly we had actual crickets with us and did a few drawings and different things with  the crickets.
