this week in science #7

       This week in science we worked on our project. From this project I learned a lot about working together as a group and about our biome and the animals that live there. I learned to do  my share of work with a group of people and help people when they  needed it. I'm still confused about having to draw the animals by hand because i feel like it would have been nicer to draw them digitally. 
       What we did in this project was we research a place , picked animals from a place and evolved the animal so that it could survive in a different climate ( because of global warming the place you choose is now different than it was before ). you had to change what the animal ate, how the animal looked, what is its prey etc. you had to draw before and after pictures about the animal. lastly you had to present it in a PowerPoint.

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.

Science and I #4

This week in science I did  a lot of new things on how to do a plant investigation. I was able to work with a different group of people and we worked on a new plant investigation. We worked on the graph and data table  . We also did a a lot of writing about our plants, how much they grew , how much water we gave it and what it looked like etc. We also did a lot of work making our plant investigations  making them better than the first one that we did. I did a lot of work on a project we had to do with the effect of light on plant growth doing the mission challenge.

This week in science  learned a lot about plants and the effect of light , water , soil etc.I learned how to do a graph and table for out plant investigation write up . I learned a lot about our plant investigation and how to make it better. I learned about the parts of a plant investigation and the people in our group and who does what.  

this week in science #3

this week in science I learned more about independent and dependent variables. I  learned a lot about how to make a clear procedure and how to learn to do the "if...then...because..." format . I learned about our new plant investagation with our new groups. my group each morning had to get our plants measure them and then add more water and do the same thing everyday or so for a week. i learned about how the variables can change and how everything has to be very clear.

this week i science we worked on our plant investagation everyday and measured them . we learned aot about many things such as the independent . we learned alot about alot of differnet things.

This Week In Science #2

      This week in science we  studied more about plants. we learned about the second plant investigation that we are going to be working with different  groups. we learned about what variables we used and what we would change. we talked about the plant that we would be using which is the brassica rapa . we did research on the plant online and we looked up facts about many different things like where its from , who uses it , the life span , how long it lives etc. also we got into groups and planted our own new seeds which kicked of our second plant investagation . we also learned more about variables and other things.we also did an experiment with poppers and wrote  down the things we noticed.
      This week in science we learned more variables. we learned more about plants and how they grow and how the independent and dependent variables affected the plant growth and the way they are. we also  learned a little bit more about plants . we learned different  things this week and we actually did something fun with week with the poppers and the plant groups. we also learned more about the different variables and the growth
