TWIS#14

This week in science we did video food chains . For the video food chains we found youtube videos to make a food chain out of. Then we did things on Hippo . We wrote about HIPPO in are spider logs. Then      we did a packet on starlings to understand population growth. We also got a day in class  to do make up work :) ,  We watch a Tim and Moby video . And today we learned about Ecological Succession. 


This week in science I learned that Biodiversity has to due with the HIPPO dilema. HIPPO stands for Habitat loss, Introduced species, Pollution, Population growth.  Energy sources are divided into two groups renewable and nonrenewable. And that Ecological Succession is the general metamorphosis of a geographic area to its most stable ecosystem.

TWIS 13





If we were to add five more spiders to your spider habitat tank, what would happen? And why? Use these terms in your explanation: glucose, photosynthesis, energy, carbon dioxide, oxygen.

TWIS#12

This week in science I did packets about producers, consumers, and decomposers . We also played online games to help us order food chains and food webs. We also made booklets of are spiders ecosystems . On friday we had a going away party for Jamie.' One thing Destiny did was draw the tank of spiders for the illustration. And one thing Danielle did was draw the tank of the spider for the illustrations.

What I learned this week was that spiders are called "daddy long legs".  Like most other spiders, cellar spiders are highly adaptive and successful predators. Their diet consists primarily of insects, which they lure and trap within their webs before encasing them in cocoons.  I learned that Decomposers get energy from dead organisums.
