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

Wasted: NYC Giant Garbage Problem

New York City’s 8 million residents and millions of businesses, construction projects and visitors generate as much as 36,200 tons of garbage every day. The city's department handle 13,000 tons of garbage everyday. The city's bill for collecting garbage is $658 million in 2000. The price kept on getting higher and higher each year. The main point of this article is that NYC has to much garbage. The author argues that this garbage problem is damaging New York. The author used statistics and words to explain this article.

this week in science #8

 This week in science I have dissected an animal for the very first time. I knew that I would never wanted to dissect an animal. The smell was the most horrible thing I have ever smelt in my life. When they were being taken out the bucket they looked like little toys. They had some nasty gooey stuff inside of the body. I wish that I could just quit dissecting forever. That's what I did this week in science.                                            


                                                                                                                                                                     This is the ventral view of the grasshopper.




This week in science I have learned what are the ventral parts of the grasshopper. I have also learned  about the dorsal parts of the grasshopper. I learned that dissecting is disgusting. I have also learn how to cut a animal when i'm dissecting. That's what I learned this week in science.



                                                                                                                                                                             This is the side view of the grasshopper.

This Week In Science #9

                This week in science I dissected a frog and a mouse. I think that was the most disgusting thing I have ever done in my life. When I  was dissecting the mouse I mostly ripped open the skin to see the inside of it. The intestants of the mouse looked like a spaghetti string. When I dissected the frog it was worse. There were some yellow stuff inside the frog that looked like corn. It was hard to cut through the stuff in the heart area. Thats what I did this week in science.


                 This week in science I learned that dissecting real animals are worse. The insides of the animals made me feel like I was about to vomit. I learned that frogs had some yellow stuff inside of them that looked like corn. I also learned that the intestants cover most of the mouses body. I have also learned that the blood of a frog and mouse dont have a natural color. Frog and mouse blood mostly looks like water. Thats what I learned this week in science.


                 This week in science I have dissected a mouse and a frog. Something different about them is that the mouse has intestants and a frog doesn't. I think thats not normal because where does the food go when a frog is eating. The frog need some sort of organ to digest its food. Another difference I realized that the frog skin is a lot rougher than a mouse. It was a little tough for me to cut off the arm of the frog when I needed to. The next difference I realized is that it was harder for me to open the mouses mouth than than frog. I didn't want to be so rough with the mouse because I didn't want to rip off it's head. A similarity I saw was that the liver of both animals looked alike. I was kind of surprised when I seen that. That's what I dissected in this week in science.

This Week in Science #7

        This week in science I finished my project. I did the vegetation and before slide. I also choosed my own animal and I also showed how it would look in the desert. I also described how it would survive in the desert. This was a fun project. I hope we get to do another like this one. This is what I did this week in science. This week in science I learned that there such a thing about underwater flowers. Inever knew there was such a thing. They also look like regular flowers. I wouldve thought if there was a thing like underwater flowers they would look different from the flowers on land. I have also learned about the humpback whale. I have learned that they come in four different colors. I have also learned that they just eat plankton. That surprised me. I thought every animal in the sea eats more than one thing. Thats what I learned in this week in science.
