This Year in Science - 10th Grade Intro Video

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.

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.

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.

This week in science what we did was write on post it notes what we knew about words we will be using in this project. After we did that we made up are ecosystems with rocks, sticks, branches, worms, bugs, and leaves. We found all of those things in the near by park. We found out how all of the things we out into are ecosystem helped the spider and was connected to each other. We took pictures of things around the park.

I learned how that different ecosystems are made of different organisms. I also learned that the plants and leafs we put in the tank will give are spiders oxygen. And the bugs and worms give them something to eat. And they climb all over the sticks and piece of wood we put in there. That taught me everything put into the tank to set up the ecosystem plays a crucial part in the spiders living.

This month in science what we did was make human impact campaign . We broke into four groups for energy, water,waste, and transportation. My group of energy did a list of question to do with energy. We tested different things that use up energy. Those questions were put on a survey that we would use to ask people out in the community of lower manhattan . We used the data from the survey to make graph of the information.  We started coming up with slogans for are campaign. We came up with the phrase "Save Energy, Save the Wold".  The last thing we did was come up with a t-shirt design which was a power outlet catching on fire and crying. We used it as a intresting way to catch attention to over usage of energy.

This month in science what I learned was the difference between qualitative questions and quantitative questions. While testing items like an alarm clock, curling iron , blow dryer,  pencil shaper,  phone charger , I learned that the alarm cock uses the most energy. When I went out to survey people in the community I learned that not most people claim to be very conservative of the energy they use in their household. And I also learned how to graph and organize data in a google doc. And when we made the slogans I learned we could do two types of one that will make the people aware of are human impact topic and one to get attention to it.
