This week in science #14

       This week in science we did a lot. For example, we explained what every letter stood for in the "HIPPO" dilemma. We also read an article on the "HIPPO" dilemma. We also read an article on renewable and non renewable resources. Another thing we did was food chains. The last thing we did was make a poster for oil, a non renewable resource. We then had to present it in front of the class.

This week in science #9

The male skate is on the left and the female is on the right.
      This week in science we did a lot. For example, we observed and dissected animals. I happened to get a skate. We had to verify if our skate was a male or female. Ours was a male but we dissected a female skate. When we cut the animal open we had to take out parts like the liver and stomach. After that we had to take pictures of the organs and dissected animal and label them. Then we had to answers questions about the skate ad the experience we had dissecting it.                                                                                         This week in science I've learned man things. For example, I learned that the skate is related to sharks and sting rays. I also learned that you can identify a skate by the shape of its head. The male skate has a more defined head than the female. Another thing I learned is how to dissect animals. I also learned how o use a scalpel.

       This week in science we did many things. For example, we created an environment for our cellar spider. We also made a booklet for our spider and words dealing with relationships between animals.
Another thing we did was take a regents quiz for the information we learned. One thing Mathew did was draw our spider habitat in his booklet.
       This week in science we learned a lot of things. For example, I learned about biotic and a biotic factors. I also learned about heterotrophs and mutalism. One last thing we learned was about food chains and pyramids. One thing Mathew learned is what cellar spiders eat.
