This week in Science #15 ( final )

What I Did.

Building the tower

almost finished :)

This Week in Science we did a marshmallow challenge where we had to get back into our old groups from the beginning of the school year and re-do our marshmallow but as a milestone. Doing the Marshmallow challenge was hard and easy at the same time. It was hard because we could not communicate with our group members at first so we had to find a way to communicate with each other. But then it was easy because when we did the marshmallow challenge the second time it was more easier because we got to communicate. If  you look to the left and right you will see the marshmallow challenge pictures. Also This Week In Science we did a end of the year video blogpost called This Year In Science 10th grade intro video where we had make a video introducing our selves to the 10th grade teachers. For me making the video was a little hard for me because I kept messing up.


What I learned

What I Learned This Week In Science was that doing the Marshmallow challenge as a milestone was harder than before because when I got back into my old group I kind of forgot how to do the marshmallow challenge because its been so long that we havent done one. And also from the marshmallow challenge I learned that building a tower especially the one I did with my group was hard to make it stay in place. This Week In Science I learned that making a 10th grade intro video is not so hard because all you are doing is introducing yourselves to 10th grade teachers and telling them about alittle bit about yourselves. But for me making the video was so hard because I kept messing up, I was alittle bit nervous, and I didnt know what to say so it was a big process. Making a video is not all about being perfect is just about being yourself  and making it a great quality.

This Week in Science #13

My Spiders habitat. :)

Question:  

If we sealed the the tanks and removed the tanks what would happen is that the spiders would die and there would be no Oxygen for them to breath. And the only thing that would probably be left is Carbon Dioxide which is dangerous for the spiders. Carbon Dioxide means heavy colorless gas ( CO2 ) which could dissolve into water to form acid. Photosynthesis is a chemical compound that has radiant energy like for example light. So Photosynthesis produces Glucose  into the plants by using water, air , etc...

This Week In Science #11

What I Did.

This Week In Science on monday during science class we had to write about we knew about plant cells, carbon cycle, water cycle, producer, ecosystem, and photosynthesis. Also this week in science on tuesday afternoon we went to seward park to pick out things that we needed to design our tanks for our spider. With the things that me and my partner Zulfiya picked out I thought that our tank looked like a mini rain forest with the leaves, branches, worms, and other things that we found in the park. One thing that zulfiya did was take pictures of the important parts of the ecosystem.

What I Learned.

What I Learned was that the things in our enviroment like plants, animals, trees, etc.. are important to our ecosystem. And also what I learned was that while reseacrhing about cellar spiders is that they are found all over the world except antartica. Also I learned that the cellar spiders are commonly called granddaddy long legs spider, Daddy long legs spider, daddy long legger or vibrating spider. Also I learned that the cellar spider family is pholcidae, its kingdom is animalia, its class is arachnida, the order of it is aranae, its phylum is arthropoda and its suborder is araneomorphae. Also the reason why its not found in antartica is because its too cold.

This Month in Science


This Month in Science while Jamie was out, we watched a clip about the sewage about how the waste goes into the water and it pollutes it. Than we had visitors from the human impact institute and what we did was we made a list of examples of how we use energy, transportation, waste, water. Also this month in science we created a survey where we had to go outside in the neighborhood and ask people questions about transportation, waste, energy, and water. It kind of cool because we got to go out and explore the neighborhood but also we were surprised because the ways act when other people ask questions. We also tested out materials like hairdryers, chargers etc.. to see how much energy it uses. From what we tested we noticed it uses it a lot. Also last week in science we had the Human Impact institute come back to visit us and we got into groups and what was to finish our slogans for our T-shirt designs. 




Learned

Human Impact Ad Campaign

well my drawing is based on the good and bad about the future. Like the side that is colored in black is when the world was polluted with the trees burned out. And the one with the Blue colored in is the good which means how the future would be if the world was never polluted. 

Sustainable Transport Saves New Yorkers $19 Billion Per Year

Summary:

This article is about how can transportation save New Yorkers $19 billion dollars per year by driving less. But in order to bring the message to the audiance the CEO's of the cities is broadcasting benefits of sustainable transportation to the public and private executives.
Main Point:
The main point about this article is to tell New yorkers that they could thousands of dollars per year by driving less.

What I Thought:

I thought this article was interesting. I think                                                                                                                                      

This Week In Science #9

What I Did. 

This Week In Science we had to research about the animals we was going to dissect. Also we dissected the animals that we researched which was a perch, skate, frog, and mouse. Me and my partner Mayra dissected a perch which is also known as a fish. What we did was cut the perch open to find the organisms. What we found was a heart, and probably the liver which im not really sure because when my partner cut the perch open she kind of destroyed the inside parts of a perch.

what I Learned.

I learned that a perch is common name for a fish. A perch is a freshwater gamefish that belongs to a family of percidae. I also learned that the body type of  a perch includes a somewhat long, and rounded structure. Also a perch have a rough or ctenoid scaled, meaning that the scale is smooth but is rough which is also going to make it look like skin. A perch is a carnivourous fish that are can be found in ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers.

Structures and Functions

The two animals that were dissected was a skate and a perch. The smilarties between a perch and a skate is that they underwater but diffrent kind of waters. The type of water the skate lives in is a salt water.

TWIS #8

This Week In Science we learned the safety on how to use the scalpel when we start to dissect. Also This Week In Science we did a Dissection of a Craw fish or a Grasshopper. So me and my partner Mayra chose the crawfish which we had to dissect.But it was kind of gross but my partner and I got through it. I also learned what a Dorsel view is which is like a Top view from its back. A Ventral view is a view that you can see from its stomach which is also known as abdomen.

What I Learned.
When my partner Mayra dissected the crawfish I learned that its feature of its body has five legs on each side which it uses to walk around. And I also learned that the yellow stuff that was inside of the crawfish is the liver. When I found out that the yellow stuff that was inside the crawfish was its food that it digested. Crawfishes live in a enviroment that has to deal with water like lakes, rivers, etc..  Also I learned that a crawfish does not have bones.

This Month In Science #7

This month in science we did a project called zoology of the future. In this project we had to get in groups of four to create our fantasy animal. while creating our fantasy animal first we created a power point which included: where it lives, the climate, vegetation, the land form etc... Also in this project we had to pick animals that live in the hot and cold dessert and it had to adapt to its new climate. Doing this project took us like about 3weeks to do. 

What I learned was that in the Hot and Cold that the plants of the dry dessert had adapted to the lack of water by using dew for moisture and taking in water through their leaves and stems. I also learned that the desserts take up to 8.6 million square miles ( 22 million square kilometers ) of earth's surface. I also learned that dunes are not only found in hot desserts but it could be found in dry desserts too. But also the dunes are made up of winds causing the sand to pile up.
