Human Impact Ad Campaign

This is the picture that I want to use for the campaign,so its a fish tank with a water fountain on the top.the pipe is connecting the 2 showing that the fish are losing water.

This Week in Science #9

What I DID
This week we researched about skates,perches,frogs,and mice.Then we picked which animals we wanted to dissect and we observed its external anatomy.The next day was dissection day and we picked a skate.It smelled really bad so we had masks.I found a liver,intestine,and stomach.

What I LEARNED
I learned that a skates skin is tough to cut through and when you cut a skate you make an I shape under the gills.Also that you cant find a skates heart easily.I never found it.And that a skate has spiky skin.

Structures And Functions
So the other people at our table were doing a frog.There weren't any similarities that I know of.They were too different.However the mouths of the animals were very different.The frog had no teeth with an extra long tongue and the skate had a rough mouth,still no teeth but it felt rough.

This Week In Science #8

Picture #1

Picture #2

What I DID

       So this week we did dissections and we got a giant grasshopper.The first picture is in Ventral View and the second picture is in Dorsal View.In each picture you can see that I have pointed out one of it's Features the head capsule for you.In picture one you get a clear view of the Anterior (which is the head),the Distal (which is the parts far away from the body, in this case the tarsal claws),and Proximal(which are the parts close to the body in this case the trochanter or shoulders).In picture two you can get a clear view of the grasshoppers Posterior(the ends of the body in this case the abdomen or butt).

What I LEARNED

       I guess you can say that one of my AHA moments was when I found out that the grass hopper wasn't all just goo inside like a bug.It was like a real animal with organs and stuff inside.The organs where pretty hard to see but they were there.This animal reminded me of when I studied that spider.Just because I think if I was dissecting a spider it would be like the giant grasshopper.

"This MONTH in Science #7"

            Its been a while since I wrote one of these but Ive been busy.Almost this whole month we have been working on a BIG project that took about 3 weeks!This project was about biomes.We had to pick a biome (ours was the arctic tundra)and then research and learn about it.For example,whats the climate?,where are these places located?,etc.Then we researched the kinds of animals that live there and we learned about them too.Then BOOM,the climate changed, and so do the animals, and we got to choose what the animals looked like, and how they changed to fit their climate.

           This project was pretty cool,fun and exciting,I had a good time.There were a few bumps on the road to finishing it though, but it all worked out in the end.Now we have made a video of our project and explained the whole thing.ENJOY THE VIDEO!!!

Kingdom:Animalia(means that they are all animals)
Phylum:Arthropoda(means that they are all insects)
 Class:Arachnida(4 pairs of walking legs and no wings)
Order:Araneae(spiders)
Family:Theridiidae(comb-footed spiders)
Genus:Latrodectus(venomous)
          This animals are found in Arizona.It eats other insects,wood lice,diplopods,chilopods and its oun kind.To get its food it first grabs its prey,bites it,takes it back to its home,then eats it.

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.

"This Week In Science"(twis)

What We Did

      This week in science we started to work on  our Plant Investigation Write-up #2.We made a planner that had every ones name one the part they were doing.Its different this time because we are going to be writing our own conclusion.The parts I had were the background paragraph and the procedure.I did good on those.

What We Learned

      This week we didn't really learn anything,we where mostly working.I'm not sure I can write anything for this part.
