Post 12: This Week in Science (Daphnia and Introduced Species)

This week in science I did a project on Daphnia, its a organism that lives under water that scientists test drugs on before they try on bigger animals like Mice and Rats. We did this experiment on a bus that did no harm to the environment. It ran on oils an stuff from leftover vegetables from restaurants they collected. We also did other blog posts that we didn't finish before and filled out regrade forms so we can get better grades.

I learned that Daphnia lives under water and gets tested before other animals that are bigger. I also learned that Drugs can't be sold and prescribed for people without being tested on first animals like Daphnia and then animals like Rats and Rabbits. Also that drugs can be overdosed on animals the way people overdose on drugs.

This Picture shows a picture of Daphnia and I chose this picture because it shows how it looks on the outside and it looks see-through so i can see its inner body parts.

Post 7: This Week in Science (Ecosystems)

In the last to weeks in science we've been putting a home together for our spider habitats and making one for our soon to be spider. We named him Chef Master Tyrone. He's suppose to be a gangster spider who cooks and cleans the terrarium.

We've been learning about spiders and what they eat and need to live in a terrarium. They need to have fruit flies and insects to live and munch on for snacks. I also learned that spiders shake and move when touch.

Post 11: This Week in Science (No Impact Man)

Paragraph 1: Describe No Impact Man's year long project.
Impact man's year long project was about going green and doing things to help the environment like...
- saving trees by not using tissues and junk
- not using a TV
- making his own cleaning products because of pollution and toxic fumes
- using Pampers made of cloth
- He went to farms to learn how his food was made
- He is a good man

Paragraph 2: How does No Impact Man's behavior lower his negative impact on the environment?

- saving trees is good  because trees won't be cut down and more trees means more oxygen
- not using a TV saves electricity. Saving electricity is good because it saves money and fossil fuels.
- making his own cleaning products is good because they don't have toxic fumes and the containers are reusable.
- using cloth diapers is good because they're washable and reusable instead of filling up land fills with disposable diapers.
- learning about how our food is made is good because you know what you're eating, it's healthy and it gives you respect for what you're putting in your body.

 Paragraph 3: What were your reactions and feelings while watching this film?

I reacted thinking about going green and helping the environment, I personally do no not care about the environment and never will because I shouldn't clean or do good to the earth if no one else does.

Post 10: This Week in Science (DYO Part 1)

This week in science I been learning more a bout fruit flies and their functions. I also been doing work on my spider habitat and adding fruit flies so my spiders Tyrone and Jeff can eat. Also I got kicked out almost every class this week.


This week I learned that if fruit flies have sex the males sperm stays inside the women forever. I also learned that if the spiders are touched they start shaking on the web, i learned that when i tapped it with my pencil.
