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.

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.)
