Cricket Investigation

Question : Do crickets prefer fruit or vegetable ?

Hypothesis : if we put fruit on one side of the tank and vegetable on the other , i believe they would prefer fruit because david just put an apple in their tank so if they liked vegetables better he would of put a piece of lettuce or something in the tank.

   On one side we put celery and on the other side we put apple.

This Week In Science #6

      This week in science I have observed cricket behavior. We used four methods to see if crickets prefer damp or dry better. we had two crickets inside one tank, the whole tank had paper towels. In one side the paper towel was damp and on the other it was dry. the crickets stayed in the dry side most of the time. Then my group and i took off the lid. Afterward the crickets started to become more active. One of the crickets went on the damp side and then back to the dry side and both crickets began to fight. 

      Towards the end of the week my group and I had a mission challenge. We learned how to use dichotomous  keys. The challenge was to use different methods to classify jelly beans and see which method works best. To help us learn how to use dichotomous keys David showed us by using shoes from different students in our class room.

This week in science 5

   
        The video above is a video i found on youtube of this fascinating creature found in japan. i found this animal to be strange. 



 
This week in science my group and i have been observing animal behavior. we have been watching youtube videos of strange animal behavior it was actually interesting how animals behave way differently than humans act.  yesterday in class we were observing actual cickets. they barely were moving , the crickets were hidding the the loose leaft. Afterwards i saw a baby cricket come out of the paper and started eating the piece of apple that was there.

This week in science #1

 This week in science we did the marshmallow challenge and a plant invesitagation, we had to work with groups so it included alot of team work and using of  communication skills. On wednesday We had to make a tall structure out of spaghetti , a paper bag , tape and a Marshmallow.

 This week in science i learned to always have a plan before you begin any type of change or investigation and to follow a specific pureduce and to mainly  PLAN TIME.

This Week in Science #4

     This week in science my group and i planed our plant investigation set up , like who's in charge of graphic design , results , cup procedure and etc. in the middle of the week we started doing our plant investigation and finished yesterday.

This Week In Science #3

  

   This week in science  I learned how Jamie , David and Nik grade our work. I had to read the rubric and understand what do we need in order to recieve a successful grade. we finally understood what  (XS)(MS)(AS) and (em) means. I learned that the Brassica rapa plant does really grow fast.

This Week in Science #2

    THIS PHOTO IS AN ILLISTRATION of WHAT I DREW IN CLASS THI WEEK

  This week in Science my group and i started planing our Plant investigation #2. We tried to do different things we did not try before in our Plant investigation #1 like how does the placement of the plant effect the growth of the plant. then we planted the Brassica Rapa plant in three cups and we position them in different places , we dropped 10mililters of water in each cup.

              This is a picture of the Brassica Rapa plant  as a adult
   This week in science  Class our assignment was to research all bout the brassica rapa plant and gain information about the plant we are going to be observing for the next few weeks. So on google i found this photo of the Brassica Rapa i learned about  and how it is known for its advance growth. It is related to the mustard family.  Also it has orange/yellow pigment.
