♻ Recycling ♻

Ms Boyer had one of her friends come in, her name is Monica. Monica studding design and engineering. Monica’s lesson today with us was about recycling and how we can make more use out of things, such as tinfoil,water bottles. I learned that when you put something to go to the recycling center they melt it first, I thought that was insane because that can take longer to devolve. It was amazing that something like tinfoil can be made into you own creation for example I made a bow tie, it was really a cool experience. I got to know things that I never know that was true. This is the packet that we did, it was a true learning  experience

Temperate Forest PSA

This year my class did an ecosystem project.We used a website to create the video it was call wevideo. To do the the project  you will need lots of research.separate your research in categories. I would say the research was pretty easy for me because I knew what I was doing and I did it efficiently. After you do that you start a script and a storyboard to help you get an idea this process I would say was ok I had some trouble but I did it.After you do that you start wevideo and get pictures but you have to use your script for it.Getting my video ready was fun I enjoyed the process. When you have your outline of your video done you start narration. I loved this part so much because you could be your self. After that you show your teacher and everyone then if you get the ok you can fish it and write a blog post about you process.

Temperate Forests

Temperate Forests have lots of trees and are found in areas where the climate is not too hot or too cold. They have lots of animals and plants living there. The ecosystem that I’m studying,Temperate Forests, are located in areas such as North America, Europe and Asia.

Some consumers that live in a temperate forest are black bears, squirrels, chipmunks, worms, slugs, insects, frogs, toads, salamanders, moose, white tail deer, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, skunks, raccoons, porcupine.Temperate forests have lots of producers. For example, wild flowers, Barry bush, strawberry bush, lettuce, celery, grass, trees, chives.The unique thing about my ecosystem is that it is between about 25 and 50  degrees latitude. Another thing that makes my ecosystem unique is that temperate forests have a lot of wildfires that cause the forests damage.

I enjoyed working on my ecosystem and it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the experience of learning new things. I got to know more about the animals and how they live in temperate forests. I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Plant Experiment Reflection #1

 

In class Ms. Luciano is teaching  about plants.  We have groups  and all  6 groups got to  choose what science experiment they wanted to do. My group wanted to know what will happen if we don’t give plants  sunlight. Our  group’s hypothesis would be right or wrong. With our  control plant it has everything it would need to grow. The control plant has seeds, soil, fertilizer pellets, wicks and  water. This was my our hypothesis: If I don’t give my plant sunlight then it will probably survive it is still getting water it needs to grow because plants need water to survive.

In our experimental group, my group has seen some changes during the past few days. But my experimental plant has not been doing well. It is drooping, stems crinkled up and it is not growing as well as the control group. The plants are yellow. It has fewer leaves and no buds. The plants in the experimental group are tall because they are trying to find the sunlight.

In the picture you can see the experimental group is very tall because the plants are looking for sunlight. The control is growing normally.
