TWIS #13

If we were to leave these spider habitat tanks sealed but removed all of the plants, there wouldn't be any oxygen in the tank because plants give out oxygen. They wouldn't survive because since plants are in the ecosystem they produce and use carbon dioxide and glucose and give out oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.

sharks eats plankton

                                         

plankton eats diatoms because they are small. bigger plankton will eat other plankton. 

TWIS #12

     This week in science my group and I created a spider observation log during block two. A spider observation log is basically answering questions about the Cellar Spider habitat. We did research on Cellar Spider and the different names it's known for. For example, the scientific name. During class we also watched a video on Ant Caterpillar Mutualism. One thing Ryan did is fed the Cellar spider fruit flies. One thing Jasmine did was help create the habitat with a lot of flowers.
      I learned about the Cellar Spider habitat. I also learned about commensalism, parasitism, mutualism and saprophytes, basically called symbiotic relationships. I still find it complicated. Anyways, I learned the difference between a food web and food chain from watching a brain pop video. Learning about the scientific name for the Cellar Spider was new to me. One thing I learned from what Ryan did was how fast the spider would start eating the fruit flies. Another thing I learned from what Jasmine did was that the more plants or flowers you put in the container the more fungus it would contain.

My image is showing how people are damaging the Earth without realizing it. The guy is holding the Earth in the palm of his hands noticing how car is very effective to the Earth. The pieces are falling down from the Earth breaking apart. The band-aid represents how some people are trying to fix it. Because not everyone is destroying the Earth.

The Brooklyn Paper

     The Brooklyn Paper is about the government spending over 140,000 on legal fees to defend Prospect Park West bike lane. The city is against this. They argued about about the bike lane turned the peaceful street into a danger zone for pedestrians and demanded it be removed. The government tried to make it seem more successful than it really is.

     This article was kinda of confusing. But i do think that they should reduced cars and have more bikes. This is because it is a safer way for whomever is riding their bikes. And always because you won't be in the same lane was the vehicles.

This week in science #8

  This week in science we were dissecting animals. Of course we were in groups but as partners. My partner & I were dissecting a crayfish. We looked at the crayfish nine different views. As shown in picture one that is called the Dorsal View. Dorsal view is the upper part of the organ. Ventral view is the opposite. It's looking at its stomach. The Anterior of the crayfish is below its eyes. They are able to survive in all bodies of water expect the oceans. There bodies are not designed well to deal with saltwater habitats. Also, my partner and I took pictures of the crayfish internal and external anatomy. 

  This week in science I learned a lot. I learned how to dissect a crayfish. I always learned what dorsal, ventral view was. I also learned what type of environment the cray can survive in, its's adaption. Where the anterior is located. I never looked at crayfish closed up or never dissect any animals. So everything to me was new. 

This month is science #7

       This week in science, we were placed in groups to create a power point on Google docs. Each member in the group had to create at least 2-3 slides about the Hawaiian tropical rain-forest. For example some of the slides would be the location, landforms, climate and animals that live in the rain-forest. Each member had to pick a different animal and do like a food chain. We also create a slide for the before and after climate. In 100,00 years we said that the Hawaiian tropical rain-forest will be cold. Then we had to draw an imaginary animal that we think will live in the after climate. Then we organize the slide, and wrote speaker note for each slide because we had to create a screen cast.

     This week in science, I learned what a biome is. A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. Another thing I learned was how to make a screen cast, that was a ha-ha moment for my group :). Also, I learned that about the different types of animals that can be found in the Hawaiian Tropical Rain-forest. My group worked very well together because we chose one person to speak for the screen cast and everyone did their slide. I learned that there's more than one rain-forest in Hawaii.

This is a flower that can be found in the Hawaiian Tropical Rain-Forest.
