Infraclass-Eutheria
Order-Chiroptera.

Species-1000 species of bats

Bats are mammals. However, they are not
rodents or birds, and do not have any closely related 
orders.They are related to carnivores.Different species
select different habitats during different seasons.
Bats exist all over world. Bats are found in almost
every habitat available on earth.

The similarities between a bat,turtle and a starfish is
they all have eyes and legs. They all eat and drink.
They all have a predator and a prey.Bats,turtle and starfish can swim.They all can smell.

The differences between a bat,starfish and turtles,
they all eat different things. A bat fly's and a starfish and a turtle swim. Bats have good hearing,Starfish don't have ears and turtles don't have outer ears but inner ears.



                                                                                                  

Cricket Investigation

Our question was, what do crickets like better fruits or vegetables?. If we observe a cricket and put fruits and vegetables in the tank, then I think it will prefer vegetables, because when we were observing them they didnt eat the apple's and they got all rotten.

Background: Cricketrs are related to grasshoppers.The sound emitted by crickets is commonly referred to as chirping.Only the male crickets chirp,crickets like all other insects, are cold-blooded.

This week in science #6

This week in science we did cricket investigation and a data day for the crickets. For the warm up , David asked us what things we'll need. I think I'll need outlets,food,air,internet, and transportation. We also did a lot of group work this week , I was excited about that. We had to research 10 things about what crickets need.

I learned many things about crickets while observing them. They are more active when you take the lid off the cage. We also had to ask some questions like, do crickets like dirt or grass better ?. We learned about dichotomous keys while doing a mission challenge with jelly belly's. we needed to make up questions and answer them while looking at the different jelly beans.

TWIS #5

We did the rocket conclusion for our mission challenge. This week in science we did animal behavior. We watched video's and answered questions. In the video we had to describe what the animals were doing. We also looked at crickets and observed them and write anything that we wanted to know about the crickets. We started this unit yesterday and I think its interesting.

I learned about rockets and what the parts of it is called, nose cone,body and wings. The wings are there to give the rocket stability. We had to figure out our independent variable, dependent variable, hypothesis,and testable question. I also learned about the similarities and differences between animals and humans. We also learned about the body parts of a cricket. When observing the crickets we had to write what they did,many died.
