This Week in Science (Daphnia and Introduced Species)

     What we did this week in science is that we went to the biotic bus down stairs of our school. Then we went inside to see whats inside the bus and it was like a laboratory of computers,bored,and many stuffs that they need in a experiment. We tested a small animal with drugs that is called a Daphnia and we were counted on the heart beats in 30 seconds.Then we were learning about hippo which is that what is the five words stand for and we figured it out. This week went so far so good but it will get better on the next few weeks.

     What we learn about this week in science is that we learned that the Daphnia can't take the drugs but either way it will come back to life and its heart is still beeping. Us humans can't take the drugs because its bad for us in our body's. The Daphnia is different for us because we don't have the same organisms as we do but some we have the same organisms. I learned a lot this week in science and this helps me understand a lot for next year to do better.

This picture shows Daphnia with eggs. I choose this picture because its shows how the daphnia lay eggs and this is what we learned in science.

This Week in Science (No Impact Man)

     I think No Impact Man's year project is to prove how the environment works without using useful stuffs like electricity, toliet paper, and alot of stuffs. I think this idea of the environment is kinda stupid to do because there's no way the impact man can survive without toliet paper and electricity and other stuffs that is useful to them. It depends how his wife and daughter can't take it and live the normal life they way it is with everything useful.

     No Impact Man's behavior lower his negative impact on the environment by not using all the stuffs that he needs and turning it into environment. I never seen any person did this kind of stuff and I think its crazy to do this. No Impact Man is not telling the people to do this environment but he just showing how the environment is and how is it helpful.

     My reaction and feelings of watching this flim is that i was suprised and it was stupid of what No Impact Man is doing in the evironment. Everybody in my class said that No Impact Man is werid for doing this. i would never do this in my life for ever.

This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 2)

     What we did last week in science is that we are creating a chart of how many females and males there going to be in our habitat. We got our spiders to put in our habitat. Last week went well on our hard work to solve the big problem and we use math to solve our problem. My group didn't get our fruit flies yet because we are still working on our chart and how many females and males there going to be on our habitat. I think this is a good idea of doing our chart in fruit flies because i never did this last year and i am learning a lot.

      What we learn in science last week is that we are learning about spiders and fruit flies in our habitat. I learned that there can be more fruit flies depending on how many they lay in 3 weeks. I learned alot in science because this lesson and other lessons are going to help me do better next year. Thanks to all the teachers that made me learn alot in my school and i respect on doing well in my education.

     If i had two females and one male, it will make sense of males doing what they mostly do with the females.

This Week in Science (Ecosystems)

     What we did in science of the past 2 weeks is that we made a design of our habitat that would look like in our tanks. We are having spider in our habitat to take care of and we made a list of the things that spiders need like water,fruit flies, small plants,rocks, and dirt. Then we went to a trip to the Chinese garden to pick up dirt and insects to put in our tanks. We found a lot of insects in the dirt, rocks and bushes. It was fun to be in a garden x). Then we took the test on ecosystem and after that, we have to correct the mistakes we made.

                          This picture shows a group getting supplies for our tank to get the insects.
