this year is science- 10th grade intro video

This week in science #14

       This week in science we worked in groups to talk about HIPPO. HIPPO stands for a group of words and its not talking about the animal hippo. the H in hippo stands for habitat lost because when people cut down trees and kill animals habit oso they can build more things. . The I stands for introducing species because sometimes species get messed around. The P stands for pollution which is causes by many different things like too much trash or too many things being throw on the floor and it ends up on our shores and oceans. The second P stands for population growth which happens when there is an over population. Lastly the O stands for over consumption which happens when theres too many people or animals in one place. We made posters about different oil and gas groups.
       This week is science I learned about many different things. I leaned more about different gases and oils and how to work together in a group with different people. I learned more about HIPPO which i had never learned about before. Also I learned that many animals live in tight situations because there is over consumption which makes it harder for animals to find food. So the fight for survival is even harder.  I learned more about dangerous animals who might be hurting our environment without knowing. lastly the posters that we did really helped me learned more about what I have no idea even excited before.I learned more about the different environments and how each one affects our planet.

This week in science #13

 
      If I were to cover the tank without plants Im pretty sure the spider would die because the plants are what make air and oxygen so the spider wouldn't have air. There might not even be enough air for the spider to live and survive. The spider wouldn't have food either because the fruit flies need air to live and be healthy as does the spider. The spider would die because there would be no oxygen only him giving off carbon dioxide and thats not enough to live. There would also be no photosynthesis since there are no plants. Also since there were no plants there would be no glucose.  
   

This Week in Science #12

     This week in science I learned how to work in groups and decide how our spider might live and survive. We feed them genetic fruit flies, which the spider ate in one day because he must have been hungry. We learned more about what producers and consumers are and what are the place in the food chain. We learned about the effects and what would happen if the animals disappeared or if there was a growth and how it would affect us and the environment. For example if there was a growth in snakes, there would be a change in the mice also because if there are too many snakes they might eat all the mice. If that happens they're going to have to find something else to eat, other than mice. Also there would be a growth in whatever the mice eat because the mice aren't there to eat them. We learned how to use science words and how to describe our tank.

     This week in science we started to create our spider observation logs which is just a small book in which we record how our tank looks, or how our spider is doing. We also feed our spiders, and drew how our tank looked in our logs. We learned more about consumers, producers, carnivores and how they effect our environment. We learned about biotic and abiotic, and what it means. We mostly worked on packets all week and have practice quizzes which are going to help us in our regions next year. Lastly we learned more about how our environment affects us.
