This week in science #6

                 This week in science we did a lot. For example, we made a list from information we got from the internet about crickets. We also wrote a testable question from the information we got. Then we observed the crickets to see if they preferred wet land over dry. While we observed them we were drawing their path to see what type of land they liked better.We then explained to our class what we did. After that we made a dichotomous  key for jelly beans. They gave us a bag of jelly beans and we worked with those.  
This is an example of an dichotomous key
               This week in science we learned many things. For example, I learned that crickets are omnivores. I also learned how they make their chirping sound. They scrape their wing along the surface of their body. Only the men produce this sound. I also learned from observing the crickets that they prefer wet land over dry land. Another thing I learned this week is how a dichotomous key works. A dichotomous is something used to identify things specifically.
