This week In Science #15

What I did- This week In Science I did a Marshmallow challenge. In September we did a Marshmallow challenge but we did it again this year to see how well we work in groups such as did we improve, stay the same or get worst.We did to marshmallow challenges. One marshmallow challenge all the groups had to be quiet the only thing you can do was eye language or write on the post note. The second Marshmallow challenge we could talk. I think being quiet was better because when we didn't talk no body couldn't control the project. Then when we talked i guess the group hold in their words so long they couldn't wait to get what they wanted to say out.Also This week in science I did a This year in science video. In that video we had to answer these questions below.

• Who are you? 
• What do you like to do outside of school?
• What are your academic interests? (favorite subjects or school activities)
• How have you grown in science this year?
• What did you enjoy in science this year?
• What did you struggle with in science this year?
• What would you like your teacher to know about you?

What I learned- I learned that
My ability to work in groups has changed over the 3 different that I did the Marshmallow Challenge and it got worst because this time our tower fell. It fell both times. I like working in groups sometimes it depends on what group project we are doing. I think the teacher should let us choose whether we want to work by ourselves or in a group or if we wok in groups choose our own groups.

This week in science # 14

This week in science we did Photosynthesis part-2. In Photosynthesis part-2 we drew in our observation log how photosynthesis takes place. This week in science we did a Marine food Chain. To do the Marine food Chain we got You tube videos and put them in order from producer -> Primary -> Secondary -> Tertiary -> decomposer. This Week in science we also did a Hippo Dilemma and biodiversity. In the Hippo Dilemma and Biodiversity we Read an article on Hippo and Hippo stand for
H-habitat loss I- Introduced species P- pollution P- population growth O- over consumption. W When we finish read the article we wrote the meaning of these words in our own words.

This week in science I learned what HIPPO dilema stands for. I also learned that people's favorite animals become extinct because of HIPPO dilemma.

This Week In Science #13

a) If we were to leave these spider habitat tanks sealed but removed all of the plants, what would happen? And why? Use these terms in your explanation: glucose, photosynthesis, energy, carbon  dioxide, oxygen.

  

If my group and I were to leave the spider habitat tanks sealed but removed all the plants I think it photosynthesis will startwith the glucose from the plant then the plant releases oxygen to the spider and the spider releasing carbon dioxide.

 

b) 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 dioxide, oxygen. 

 If my group and I were to add five more spiders to the spider the habitat tank I think that the spiders will eat themselves until they have one more left or the might have babies.

c) If we were not to add fruit flies into your spider habitat tank, what would happen? And why? Use these terms in your explanation: glucose, photosynthesis, energy,  carbon dioxide, oxygen.

If my group were not to add fruit flies into the spider habitat tank the spider might die because it's not gonna have any food to eat.

Spider Observation Log

This week In science I did an observation log. In the observation  log we did background research on the cellar spders. Also we wrote inputs and outputsa of cellar spiders. A producer, consumer and decomposer game. In the producer, consumer and decomposer game we put the animals in order from producer -> primary  -> secondary -> tertiary. Also I did a practice regions packet. In the Practice regions packet we answered question that were on the regions. Most of the question were easy because in 8th grade I was in a regions class and we were taught these things to be prepared for high school.

I learned autotroph is self energy, Heterotroph is other energy, commensalism is one organism benefit but the other is not affected. Mutualism Both animals benefit from eachother. Parasites benefit at the expense of the other animal. Also I learned that cellar spider could eat other spiders. Another thing I learned about was energy pyramids, food chains and food webs.

This week in Science 11

 What We Did- This week in science we went to Seward Park and collected thing for our Spider Habitat. Also I took pictures of things in Seward Parks Ecosystem. You can see a few of the pictures I took above. Another thing I did this week in science is Write down things we know about Plant cells, Carbon Cycle, Water Cycle, Food Chain Producer, decomposer, ecosystem and Photosynthesis.
What I learned- Spiders might want to eat oranges, leaves dirt and soil. I also learned Carbon cycle is a  series of processes  through carbon atoms. Humans disrupt Carbon cycles. All living things are made of carbon cycle.

This Month In Science

This month in science we Chose either to be in water, energy, transportation or waste. I chose to be in the water group because we need water in our everyday lives. This month in science we did a Community Impact Survey. The Community Impact Survey is we went out in the Neighborhood and asked people in the community about 10-12 questions. I was so surprised that some people didn't have TV's. Our slogan is Water is THE source of life.This month in science were also gonna make T-shirts with our Slogan and Image to go with it.


This month in science I learned 97% of water on this earth is dirty,2% is in glaciers and the 1% is drinkable. Also this month I learned that I would've thought that certain people people waste water. I also learned that some people could live with out a TV and Computer. I learned that school water was the cleanest

This Month in Science

What I did- This Month in science I did  Zoology of the future Introduction, Biome Landscape and A Lake Biome Project. My Grouped and I worked on this project everyday that we had. I did the climate slide. I also did the location slid. Another slide I did was the before and after slide for when the climate changed for my animal. An ahhaa moment was all the different animals in my group and the class.


What I Learned - I learned how to make a screen-cast video. Also I learned what a primary and secondary source is. Another thing I learned was what a biome is.

Human Impact Ad Campaign

 This Picture below is signifying that water is THE source of life so don't pollute or do anything harmful. Also you need water to live. Another thing Water is used for is to Take a shower, brush your teeth stay cool when it's hot and more etc.

This Week In Science #9

 What I Did This week in science I dissected A frog and mouse. We also drew the dorsal, ventral and anterior view of the frog, mouse, skate and perch. We Talked about if we ever had previous experience with dissecting or if this was our first time. Some said yes and some said no previous experience. I never dissected any thing until this year.



What I Learned I learned how to Dissect a frog and mouse. A aha moment was when Kendry did not no how to cut the frogs six pack and it almost squirted on him and Kasheem. Also I learned how to Figure or whether a mouse or frog was a male or female. If the frogs thumb is big its a male, If it's not it's a female.Another thing I learned that I never knew was frogs have abs which is similar to humans.



Structures And Functions
Two organism that was dissected at my table was the frog and the mouse. Three structures that function similar that appeared differently was the heart, lungs and the gallbladder.

Ventral View







Dorsal View

This Week In Science #8

What I Did- This Week In Science I Dissected a Cricket. An Aha Moments was when Right Before We Dissected the Cricket Melenie was not scared but when She smelled it and looked at it she did not wanna dissect it anymore. I Dissected something for the first time.


What I Learned- I Learned how to Dissect things, some things are dissected with a scalpel and some are with dissecting scissors. This week in science I Learned What Dorsal, Ventral, Proximal, Anterior.

Mission Challenge: Classification Activity

Kingdom:  Animalia
Class: Gymnolaemata 
Order: Cheilostomata
Family: Reteporidae
Order: Cheilostomata
Family: Retporadae
Genus: Stylopoma

Species: About 3,500 but on 50 inhabit fresh water

  
The Body parts a bryozoa has is a body cavity and a simple gut. The animal looks like a weird flower. A bryozoa eats diatoms, green algae, cyanobacteria, non-photosynthetic bacteria, dinoflagellates, rotifers, protozoa, small nematodes, and microscopic crustaceans. A bryozoa species live in tropical waters at depths less than 100 metres (330 ft). However, a few have been found in deep-sea trenches, especially around cold seeps, and others near the poles. The great majority are sessile. Encrusting forms are much the commonest of these in shallow seas, but erect forms become more common as the depth increases. A few marine species can move, and an Antarctic species forms floating colonies. The phylactolaemates live in all types of freshwater environment lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, and estuaries.

Cricket Investigation- Do the Crickets Prefer Fruit or Vegetables?

Introduction and Background Research: 

Crickets are somewhat related. Crickets have a slightly flattened look to their body, and long antenna, where as a Grasshopper has a similar body, but with large hind legs used for jumping and much shorter antenna. The Grasshopper antenna tend to be shorter that the length of their bodies, but the Crickets are normally longer. Grasshoppers are normally found during day light hours.

The Link were I Found This Information:

http://www.wiki.answers.com/Q/Are_crickets_and_grasshoppers_the_same_thing

Question: Do the crickets prefer fruit or vegetables?

Hypothesis: If my group and I put two crickets in a container with a fruits and vegetables then I expect the crickets to like the fruit more than the vegetable because I saw crickets active when a apple was in the container.

Experimental Setup:

This Week In Science #6

This Week in science I did a Animal Behavior, Cricket Investigation, Data Day Crickets, and A Mission Challenge on the Dichotomous key. In the Animal behavior we watched videos from you-tube such as animals fighting, mating and more. Also David showed us Videos too. In the Cricket Investigation and Data Day Crickets we did the behavior of the crickets when they chirp and when they are more active.


This Week in Science I learned when crickets are more active. Also I learned Animal Behavior. Another thing I learned how to make a Dichotomous key.

This Week In Science #5

This week in science I did a conclusion, Marshmallow Challenge part 1, Grading etc, 3 2 1 Blast Off, Mission Challenge rockets, Launch, Rocket conclusion, Wrap up day, Animal Behavior. In the Marshmallow challenge my group and I had to build a tall tower with a marshmallow on the top this time my group had the highest tower. In the grading Etc i had to work on my Milestone. In the 3 2 1 Blast off I had to build a rocket using a straw tape and paper. Also I  wrote down things I notice and what I'm wondering. In the mission challenge I had to build a rocket with my group. The Independent Variable was the weight of the nose cone. In my Rocket Conclusion is answered the questions on the  rocket conclusion helper. For wrap up day I accomplished the Rocket conclusion. Animal Behavior was all about fighting and mating.

I learned about how different types of animals fight and mate. also i learned how to launch a rocket with the launcher. Another thing i learned how to do was hoe to exceed the standards.

Also Our Driving Question and our what we Need To know to Conduct and Publish a Plant Investigation that satisfies all the NDHS Requirements. Another thing I did was a Hypothesis and Procedure. In this Hypothesis and Procedure we did Procedure for Gathering Data and the PB+J. Finally we did a Data Day. In this Data Day we did or Gathering Data on the Plants and Data on how much people in our class like a certain basketball team.

What I Learned In Science: This Week In Science I Learned the If-Then-Because Format and other things on how to Conduct and Publish a Plant the NDHS Requirements and get us an A. I also Learned the Indepent and Dependent Variable Parts.

This Week In Science #2

What I Did This Week In Science Is Testify, Plant Investigation #2- Background Research And Plant Investigation #2- Experiment. Testify Was About A Question That Can Be Tested. For Example independent Variable . The Plant Investigation #2- Background Research Was About The Brassicarapa Plants. The Plant Investigation #2- Experiment Was About  How Does Changing ________ Effect The ___________. In dependent Variables could Be Changing The Size, Color, Surface, Thickness And More

What I Learned In  Science This Week Is That Brassicarapa Plants Can Grow Up To 5,000 Feet. Another Thing I Learned Is This Flower Is A Hermaphrodite (Have Both Female And Male Organs) . Also I Learned These Flowers Stay From May To August and The Seeds Ripen From July To September.The Most Fascinating Thing I Learned Is It Was Said To Be A Remedy For Cancer.
