This week in science #6.

This week in science we did Cricket Investigation Day 1. We researched 10 or more things about what they need to survive. Then we wrote a testable question according to the information we collected. Then it was Data Day: Crickets. We were placed in groups. Each group were given four different type of methods that we had to use while we observed the crickets behavior. Finally, we had a mission challenge "Dichotomous Keys." Six of us had to take one side of our shoes off, I was one of them, so david can demonstrate what the dichotomous key was. Then we had to create our own dichotomous keys using six different flavors of jelly beans. There was two different type, one " Flowchart Style" and "List Style." 

"Different Flavors of Jelly Beans" We used a chart like this to name the flavors while doing the Dichotomous Keys.

This week in science I learned a couple of things. I learned facts about crickets. I never observed crickets before, so everything about them was new to me. Then I learned the two different types of Dichotomous Keys. The flowchart was the easiest and the list style was a little more challenging.
