TWIS #15 Milestone

This week in science we made videos for our future tenth grade science teacher. I recorded like 3 times and after I still didn't have the one I wanted. It took so long, I had to answer a lot of questions. We also had another marsh mellow challenge and we had to work in groups. We did one round with complete silence we had to communicate through hand gestures and the other round we could talk. My group actually did good, but every time our time ran out our pasta would always tumble down. I like doing the marsh mellow challenge because it's so fun and it shows you that all your team members have to work with you.



This week in science I learned that I understand science better then in the beginning of the year. I learned that working in a group is hard because you all have to work together and share your ideas. Also some people might not participate and that may affect your grade. I also learned that communicating with your group is very important.
I learned about independent and dependent variables all over because we had to know them for the test. I learned that biodiversity means the variety of life in the world in a particular habitat
or ecosystem.

This week in science #13

a) If we were to leave these spider habitat tanks sealed but removed all of the plants, what would happen? And why? - Our spider would die because they need their nutrients to live. If they don't have other living things helping them, how are they supposed to get their energy.

This week in science #11

This week in science we went to the park and collected things for our tank. On Monday we went around the room and tried to define words. I had to research about spiders and draw a pictures of the tank. I had to label the living and non-living things. We also got our seats changed, I like my seat.

This week in science we learned about living and non-living things. We also learned new words. I learned about spiders and how cellar spiders are also called "Daddy long legs". I also learned that cellar spiders cant bite us humans because their fangs are too short and only for them to catch their prey. I learned that they catch their food in their webs.

This week in science #12

This week in science we made booklets that talk about Cellar Spiders and their needs. We watched Brain Pop videos. We also had to replace our spider because it died, I think their was to much bacteria. Our spider is always on its web above the habitat, our habitat really got messed up. We didn't put enough
water because our habitat is really dry, but we did put water.

This week we learned about Cellar Spiders eat. We also learned about what habitat, they live on dry leafy lands. We learned the symbiotic meanings. We learned the difference between a food chain and a food web. A food web is when all living things are linked together by what they eat and a food chain follow a single path while they eat eachother. I learned that cellar spiders have 6 legs.

This month in science #10

This month in science we did a human impact lesson and looked at different posters and described what was going on. We also got into groups and discussed what water,waste and energy is. We made posters for our t-shirt design, and also had to brainstorm thoughts about a logo. We also had to brainstorm thoughts before we drew anything. David made us check our blogpost to see if we had any missing work. Our class calculated watts.

This month in science we learned how to make a change in the environment and how to make the world a better place. We learned how to save energy instead of wasting it and that to much energy usage makes a bad future. I learned something about myself this month, that I use a lot more energy then I expected and so does my class.Waste is doing bad things and we should stop pollution. I learned how to define an image and figure out the story behind it. I learned about how much energy and watts I use daily.

Human Impact Ad Campaign

This poster means that we want people to care about the environment and use their energy wisely. We dont want people to over use their energy because that can damage the earth in the future.
