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:

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.

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.
