TWIS #11

This week in Science we did a lot of things this week. On monday, it was our first day back from spring break. So David was just welcoming us back and explaining what we will be doing this week. On Monday we also asked questions on a post-it on ecosystem. David had a new vocabulary word on each poster. For ex: Ecosystem, Carbon cycle, Water cycle, Plant cell, Food chain, Producer, Photocynthesis. All these science vocabulary words, we had to ask questions on what we thought they ment. On Tuesday, we went to seward park. We went to seward park because we are getting spiders next week, and we wanted to put items in our tank for the spider,to see how we cn keep it alive with these certain items. My group and I put a log in, flowers,leaves and water. Our spider is going to live off these items in our tank. We also took pictures of things that what we think is part of an ecosystem. My group took pictures of grass,water,the slides in the park, and trees. All these things are apart of the ecosystem because it is apart of nature. On Wednsday, we put our pictures up on google docs, and wrote about how the picture was apart of ecosystem. We didn't have Science on Thrusday. And today is Friday, and we just got through our first week of being back from brea, writing about what we did :).

This is a picture I took in seward park. It represents ecosystem because it has nature.


We didn't really learn much this week, because we just got back from break.  I learned ecosystem has a lot to do with nature. Another idea  I  learned was that we  are going to be dealing with spiders which is cool, and we are going to see how long they can survive with our tank. I am still unsure about ecosystems. Even though I know it is apart of nature, I don't know what the word it self means  but I am positive these next few weeks will help me understand it more. I can't wait to deal with the spiders, and see how long it survives with the tank we got built up for it !!
