This week in Science #10

         These last couple of weeks in science I have done a lot of things. Me and my groups were thinking of some ideas about stuff for waste. We have came up with a lot of ideas such as fish eating garbage because we pollute the water and when we eat them were eating garbage. Another one is the world being tossed in a garbage can because most people don't care about the world so they just throw their garbage on the floor. Another is when a guy turns his sink faucet and nothing but garbage comes out. We went with the fish eating garbage and when we eat it we eat garbage. We also came up with a slogan. Our slogan is don't do it and you won't consume it. I have also gone outside and asked people some survey questions that the class has came up with. I thought it was going to be awkward but when I actually did it I was having fun. Next time I do that again I want to be able to get answers from more people because last time I was only able to get four people to answer the survey questions. I also seen some red wrigglers when jamie was here. I got to touch them they feel all soft and gooey. We also tested three different types of water. That's what I did these last couple of weeks in science.  

        These last couple of weeks in science I have learned that asking people questions in a survey was actually fun. At first I felt a little creeped out about it but once I started doing it it was actually fun. I hope we get to do something like that again. Another thing I learned in science was that waste really effects our environment. One way it effects us that it would be harder for us to breathe when we inhale because we are killing a bunch of trees and we need trees for oxygen. Making the poster I learned the difference between an awareness campaign and an action campaign. I also learned that trying to make a slogan for a waste poster was harder than I thought. I also learned that there was more drawings in my group than I thought. I learned that red wrigglers would eat anything. They just have to be soft things. I also learned how to make a shelter from a video that jamie has showed us. It looks really complicated to make. I also learned that they hate the light. So they stay mostly in the dark.

Human Impact

          This is a picture of the whole street being filled with garbage. This is suppose to represent people that don't recycle. This picture also represents that people should stop littering and pick up their garbage instead of just dropping them on the floor.

On Our Rader: Alien Plants in Antartica

       Poa annua was found near the anarctic research centers. Scientist introduces alien plants and animals that are likely to spread when the climate warms up. Scientists have found out that their boots and clothes had nonnative plant seeds. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) says it will delay controversial water pollution for Florida lakes.


       This article tells me that we would have some strange animals coming out these alien plants and it would effect the world in a bad way. I don't think this article is true because I don't believe anything that is alien related. The parts I dislike is the part about alien plants because I don't think there is such a thing as alien plants. Another part I disliked about this article is animals coming out of plants. That's like the fakest thing I have ever heard. I do not like anything about this article because I believe everything their saying is fake
