This year in science 10th grade intro

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 #13

This is my spiders habitat. You can see what goes into the flower and what goes out.

This week in science #12

       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.

This week in science #11

            This week in science I wrote questions to posters I saw in class. I drew pictures and wrote what we thought of the posters. I also went to the park to collect supplies for my spiders environment. The next day I drew everything inside of my tank. This week in science Zayra and Corine did research about the cellar spider.
             This week in science I noticed that most posters used pictures more than words. I also noticed that the water cycle had the most pictures. The carbon cycle also had the least posters. When I went to the park I notice you had to dig deep in the dirt ti find the earthworms. I also noticed the pebbles in my tank blended into the rocks. Zayra learned that the cellar spider eats its own babies. Corine learned about NewYork's ecosystem.

This month in science #10

       This month in science we did many things. For example, we were assigned to human impacts groups. My group was the energy team. We went out in our community and surveyed people, questions that had to do with our assigned impact group. After that we met some people from the Human Impacts Group. They helped us develop pictures and slogans for our human impacts group. My group came up with the slogan "WATT'S the problem?" We also made a picture that went along with the message we were trying to get across. After that we did a final draft of the picture and now were going to make them into T-Shirts. We also tested electronics like, blow dryers and phones.

        This month in science I've learned a lot of things. For example, when we did the survey I learned that most peoples transportation is trains. This is good because we use less energy because it's mass transit. I also found out from the survey that men watch less TV than women. This means women use more energy when it comes to entertainment. I also learned that there are three types of human impacts images. The first is to set awareness, the second is to set action and the last could be both. We also learned that when you leave plugs in when your not using them it waste electricity. This is what I learned this month in science.
