This Week In Science #6

What We Did
      We started on a new topic with animals and we got to do a cover page for it.We have been doing a lot.We have been trying out some testable questions,for example "Do crickets like damp or dry places?". And we actually found our answer, they like damp.We have also been finding out which method we should do to gather our data.Also, we have been playing with Dichotomous keys and jelly beans which was really hard but tasty.


What We Learned
      We learned this week how to do a Dichotomous key and the two ways you could make one.We also learned that you have to have a really good method of answering a testable question.And we have learned interesting facts about crickets on the internet.
