This Week In Science #15 (Last One)

What I Did :

This week in science we did makeup work. We made up work from the past months. We also redid the Marshmallow Challenge. At first I was angry with my partners because they kept playing around and just wanted to do it their way. I gave them a chance and helped them with their way and it surprisingly worked. We made our Marshmallow go higher than before and we all worked together to make it work. The last thing we did in science this week was our Tenth grade video. We made a video for our tenth grade teacher. We did the video outside so it was bright and clear. I had fun doing all these things in science this week.

What I Learned :

This week in science I learned that its harder to work together without talking to each other while doing the marshmallow challenge. I also learned that when we work together in the challenge even without talking we can make it bigger than the others. I learned that making up work can drastically raise your grades. The last thing I learned this week in science was that we had a lot of ups and downs but we still learned and enjoyed Science thanks to David and The donated equipments.

Marine Food Chain

 

This Week In Science #12

This week in science I did energy pyramids / Food chains. The list of energy pyramids / Food chains are Producer, Consumer, Herbivores and Secondary Consumers. I also learned about Symbiotic Relationships. Some of the Symbiotic Relationships are Parasitism, Commensalism and Mutualism. We use them to figure out what two types of animals are to each other. For Example A Crocodile and a leach are Parasitism because the leach is getting blood and the crocodile is getting nothing. So the plover comes and helps out the crocodile.


This week in science we learned about the Food chain and the Energy pyramids and i learned that there are such things as producers and consumers and who is at the top of the food chain in the animal world. Crocodiles and Plovers work together to take out leaches from the mouth of a crocodile. This picture shows the plover taking out the leaches from the crocodiles mouth. They both are getting something out of it so they both are mutualistic.

Q : If we were to add five more spiders to your spider habitat tank, what would happen? And why? Use these terms in your explanation: glucose, photosynthesis, energy,  carbon, oxygen

A: If we added five more spiders they would start to reproduce and make more spiders but if they are the same sex they would fight each other and probably eat the other ones dead body. If there are more spiders there would be twice as much as Glucose, Photosynthesis , Energy , Carbon and Oxygen. Twice as much spiders will cause twice as much of the photosynthesis.

What We Did

This week in science we went outside and got some insects and leafs for our spider. We found a lot of different types of insects in the park. We also found logs and leafs for the spider. We made our spider house with leafs, rocks, logs and insects. We organized it in a way our spider would be comfortable in. We took pictures outside in the park and post it for our spider experiment we used dirt and leafs and cup pieces.

This picture shows a cellar spider webbing up a insect getting ready to feast.

What We Learned

This week in science I learned that there are a lot of grubs in the park also a lot of Logs and different types of insects. I also found out that spiders liked to live in dirt. Spiders like to live in environments such as tropical rain forest. Spiders like to live in water and bathe in it. Spiders are Eight legged creatures and some are hairy and ugly. At the park I learned that worms like to live in the dirt with grubs and there are over five grubs in our tank. The last thing I learned is that our spider will be a big spider. Either a wolf spider or another web-making spider.

This Week In Science #8

This Week In Science I dissected a Craw Fish. My Group took a picture of the Dorsal View , Ventral View and Side View of the Craw Fish`s Exterior and Interior. Our environment smelled but not extremely bad. I started by placing my scissors in the Craw Fish`s posterior (Buttocks) and cutting its Distal (Center of the body) all the way to its Anterior (Near the Head). Afterwards I took multiple pictures of the inside features.

                                            

This Week in science i learned how to dissect a craw fish with a scissor and a knife. My Aha moment was when i opened the crawfish and saw no heart inside of it. My only question for this experiment is "Where is the Craw Fish`s Heart Located?" .  This Crawfish Reminded me of the animal expression project. Because it had some stuff to do with animals and thats seriously the closest thing i done in this class that is similar to my craw fish project.      

This Month in Science #7

This Month In Science I Did The Zoology In The Future Project. My Group Was Working On The Rain Forest. My Animal Was The Anaconda (Snake). The Anaconda lives in the Rain Forest And Eats Other Animals. My Animal is a Secondary Predator. We Received A Letter Telling Us To Change The Climax From Rain Forest Into A Arctic Tundra. My Animal Changed From A Snake Into A Skrycadile Which Is A Snake Mixed With A Crocodile. My Animal Was Formed Into A Skrycadile To Live In The Cold.

This Month In Science I Learned A Lot About Rain Forest And Their Landforms , Climax And Animals. I Learned That My Animal (The Anaconda) Is A Secondary Predator. The Crocodile Eats My Animal Which Makes It A Secondary Predator. I Also Learned That The Rain Forest Rains Everyday. It Also Has Animals I Never Knew Lived In The Rain Forest. I Learned That The Arctic Tundra Can Have Any Kind Of Animal In It. That Animal Just Needs The Right Fur For It.

Twis #6

This Week In Science we talked about what we would need to survive. Than we went to the things crickets will need to survive. I wrote that they would need plants, rocks, chirping and their mouths to survive. After we tested if crickets like the wet spot or the dry spot more. The crickets spent more time on the wet area than the dry so i wrote that they like the wet area`s better. Once we finished with the crickets we went to jelly beans. We made a dichotomous key to separate each jelly bean into one segment by asking questions like "Does it have spots?" and other related questions.


This Week In Science I learned that I wont need much to survive and that crickets are not that much of a difference then us. I learned that crickets will rather prefer the wet area than the dry lands. After I learned that you can separate almost anything like jelly beans and their flavor. I did not learn anything else this week in science.

Twis #5

This week in science we worked in groups for the rocket project and we finished everything we missed from last class. We saw varieties of animal behavioral videos and than we examined on crickets. I drew a picture of a cricket from front view and side view and I also labeled the body parts of the cricket. One of the videos we saw was one of a cat barking like a dog. I found it amusing and very interesting.

What I learned this week in science was that Larva eggs can grow on your back which is very disgusting but interesting. I also learned that animals behaviors are all somewhat different from each other but all of them are interesting and new to me. Crickets are annoying with the noises and are very disturbing to look at up close. They eat apples and for some reason i saw a cricket eating another cricket. The last thing i learned this week was that animals all have different unique behaviors and are all different from one another.


(This Video Shows A Car Barking Like A Dog. I Chose This Video Because It Was Very Interesting Behavior To Me.)

This Week In Science #3

This week in science we learned more about independent and dependent variables and how we can make questions out of them. We also made a plant for our group and measured it to see how big it got. We then made a testable question for our plant and a hypothesis. Afterwards we saw jamie making peanut butter and jelly and telling us to explain to her the steps of making it. We made a procedure for our plants after we finished with the peanut butter and jelly. When we finished with all that we drew a picture of how our plants look like.

In Science we made plants and made a testable questions for them. After we made a independent and dependent question for it and after we made a hypothesis for the testable questions. We went with jamie in a room and we started to give her steps to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and after we took the quiz about what we learned.

This Week In Science #2

This week in science we played with poppers and found out which ones jump higher and which jump seconds later. We also made our blog video. I had to take lots of retakes from the noise in the background but i got it done afterwards. They also taught us about independant and dependant variables and we also edited our blog profile.

This week in science I learned about how the bigger poppers pop faster and higher then the little poppers which pop slower and lower. I also learned about how difficult it is making a blog video when your friend is trying to make you laugh but got it finished afterwards. I finished off my week by finishing making my blog profile and finishing this paragraph on my week in science.
