Classification Challange

This is the animal I choose. One of my group members choose a pig. This chicken is called a Gallus Domesticus.It's developed by different groups. Each group is, Kingdom,Phylum,Class,Order,and Family.

Kingdom means Animalia. Animalia means the body eventually becomes fixed as the chicken developes. Phylum means Chordata. Chordata are animals which are verbrates. Verbrates are the largest group of chordatas. Class means Aves, Aves are birds that are developed with feathers, wings.. etc. Order means,its a heavy bodied feeding bird. Family, means,Phasianidae. Phasianidae is a family of birds who consist pheasants.

We then compared our animals to see if they had anything in common. What was in common was that they was dead. One person choose a pig, and the pig and my chicken had in common was that both was taken out of their moms

Cricket Investigation

Do Crickets prefer light or dark environments?


Hypothesis: If you provide crickets with a dark environment,I predict the crickets will like the dark because the crickets will have a secure environment.

Back round research:Cricket arms are similar to grasshopper arms.Female crickets don't chirp,only males do.

This is the cricket when we was timing it to see if it liked light or dark. It was on top of the tube because it liked the light. 

This is the Data. What we did was, each round,for 60 seconds we would see where the cricket would stay, and we learned that the cricket stood on top of the tube which meant the cricket liked light.

Conclusion: What I learned was not all crickets are the same, and they all don't like the same thing. My group had two crickets, and the first cricket liked the dark, and the second didn't. So I learned it depends on the cricket cause not all is the same.

This Week In Science #6

This week in science, we did our Cricket Investigation. We studied their behaviors. We wanted to know weather if the crickets like being on wet napkins, or dry napkins. The crickets my group had, actually liked being on the dry napkins. We also wrote down 5 things us as humans couldn't live without. I said, my boyfriend, niece, the shower, food. We then wrote down we thought what crickets needed.. which we said were, food and water. We then also did a chart for jelly beans. It was based on a question that had to do with Dichotomous key.







This week in Science I learned what an example of a Dichotomous key means. An example of a dichotomous key is .. for ex: Does it have spots on it? We did an dichotomous on our jelly beans. My groups was, how many is yellow?

This Week In Science #5

1. This Week In Science what we did was work on the Rocket Science conclusion. After I was in the milestone group cause I didn't meet the standards for my group work. Then on Wednesday the whole class watched animal and their behaviors. On Wednesday we also observed Crickets,on what we see on them, and on questions we had about the crickets we observed.


2. This Week In Science I learned how there is only 92 rare parrots in the WORLD. I also learned that crickets eat apples.



The Cricket we learned about.

This Week in Science #4

This Week in Science, we did our project. Our project was based Brassicarapa, and how would changing  the amount of soil affect the growth in height.The people in my group was Zaria, Nicole, Kaitlyn, and I. We each broke down the project into parts that each of us would be able to do. The part I did was, write about the Variables and the Results to how the Brassicarapa grew in each of our cups. Cup A didn't grow at all, Cup B grew 7 milimeters, and Cup C grew 10 milimeters.



What I learned This Week in Science is how to make your project better. The reason why I say this is because my groups work was poorly.  We then put work into it. It came out better, and we fixed our line Graphing, and everything is  in order. And I learned how changing the amount of grass can effect the growth in your grasses height.

This week in Science #3

This week in Science, we did a lot of things. We did a Do Now for like 15-20 mins every day this week. my group and I recorded how much our plants grew since this week. Cups A,and B didn't grow so much. But cup C just kept growing. Last time when we checked , plant C was 5 1/2 . Maybe it will grow more next time we check



This week in Science , I learned that you have to be really specific when your writing your procedure. You have to be specific because if you don't, some body could make a simple little mistake because we wasn't clear enough. Wensday we learned about how to write our hypothesis in complete sentences.

This week in Science #2

This week in Science, We played with some poppers, and saw thee measurements of how high the poppers went. That was on Tuesday. My group and I planted a new seed, called Brassicarapa. We talked about what would happen if we changed the soil, would it changed the affect the growth in height to Brassicarapa. My group and I saw a tough bug in the soil, and it was curling around our tip of the pencils!

This looks like the bug we saw in our saw yesterday. Its called a Larva of a Beetle or a Moth.

So this week was okay.It went  by too fast, and I don't feel a lot was done. So since we grew our Brassicarapa this week, what are we going to do with it? Are we going to keep track of how much it grows? Are we going to grow any other plant?. We should keep track of how much it grows, like the same thing we did with our plant investigation. Get in our groups and investigate like the last plant investigation. That'll be fun !!
