Cricket Investigation

Question: Do crickets prefer rough or smooth environments?

Background Research: Something that crickets need is food. Another important thing that crickets need is water. Something else crickets need is warmth. Crickets also need their organs to live.

Hypothesis: If I put a cricket in a rough surface and a smooth surface the cricket would want to stay on the smooth surface because it will have a comfortable environment?

Data Explanation: What I did was i made a list of everything the cricket was doing. Like for example one of the things I wrote was the cricket is walking around in circles.

What I Learned: I learned that a cricket prefers a smooth environment than a rough environment. The cricket was staying on the smooth side.

THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE #6

              This week in science i did a cricket investigation. I did four trials on different things they do. Like for example i did one on running and walking. Every fifteen seconds i would put one on running and walking but that's  only if they ran or walk. I also did a jelly bean investigation. I came up with a question and then I looked at the jelly beans and then I put a couple jelly beans on yes and a couple jelly beans on no. That's what I did this week in science.

 

              This week in science I learned that there were so many flavors for jelly beans. I knew that their were a lot of flavors but there was more then I expected. I also learned that crickets likes different places to be. One cricket stood in the dry surface the whole time and one cricket stood in the wet surface the whole time. I learned that every cricket is different from watching that. I also learned what was a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is when you take a small group and then you make it bigger until you only have one thing left. That's what I learned this week in science.

This Week in Science

              This week in science I watched some videos about animals. I was listing down what were their behaviors. One of the videos was a parrot trying to mate with human. Another video was a cat trying to take on a deer. I also observed some crickets. I was listing down their behaviors. I also drew a cricket too. I  also finished my rocket conclusion. Thats what I did this week in science.

This parrot is one of kind. There are 92 of them in the whole world. 

             This week in science I learned what was the type of bird that we saw in the video. I also learned what was its mating position. One ah-ha moment I had was that octopuses could open jars. I thought since they were mostly boneless could barely do anything. Another ah-ha moment I had was that octopuses are not that smart. I say this because when it opened the jar it got it self stuck in it.

This week in science #4

        This week i started my second plant investigation. My job was to get a picture of the plants. So after i did that i was asking my group if they needed help with anything. They didn't need help with anything. I also wrote down who was responsible for what part their doing for the plant investigation. I also wrote down what else I would do to my plant. That's everything I did this week in science                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   This week i learned that the amount of soil doesn't effect the plants growth. All the plants came out basically the same. That surprised me because I thought the amount of soil does matter on the plants growth. I thought they were all going to grow differently. That's what I learned in this week in science                                                                  

This Week In Science #2

              This week in science we started another plant investigation. We also did some testable questions. We wrote about what we did with the poppers talking about what makes them pop. We wrote down what we could do better in a plant investigation. We found some facts about the Brassica Rapa.

This is a picture of flowers.

              This week in science i learned about a new plant called Brassica Rapa. I learned that they use turnips. I learned that it is occasionally poisoning to bovines, sheep, and pigs. I learned that it was cultivated in Europe for over four-thousand years. I learned that it is said to help skin cancer. I learned that whats the difference between an independent variable and dependent variable.
