          This week in science I learned about photosynthesis. Basically photosynthesis is how plants get food. This is how photosynthesis works: first plants simply get these four things to create the food sun, carbon dioxide , water, and soil nutrients. Then the water and the carbon dioxide have a chemical reaction and create sugar and oxygen. I also learned that there is an equation for photosynthesis. One other thing I learned is that without photosynthesis the world would pretty much have no vegetables. I learned this because in science we had a problem about how Chloroplasts Jr. could not get food because Chloroplasts Sr. was leaving and this was my answer. Chloroplasts Jr. would simply have to get these four things to get food: sun, carbon dioxide , water, and soil nutrients. Then the water and the carbon dioxide have a chemical reaction and create sugar and oxygen and that is how Chloroplasts Jr. could get food.  Link For Image I Searche...

This is my my project image for the image part of the project blog.     For the body system project my class had to pick a body system and then we had to answer  interview questions. We also had to make a compelling argument and what we had to do for the compelling argument is we had to write about why our group's body system (my group was the nervous system) was the best system in the body on a google slide, google doc, or on a poster. We also had  to make an acceptance speech. What I learned by doing this project was what the nervous system works  with, what role the nervous system play in keeping the human body functioning properly, who (what) are the various members (parts) of the nervous system, what would happen if the nervous system din't do it's job, and what humans must do to keep the nervous system working properly in their body.  I knew that the nervous system makes the body feel, talk, and move. I knew that the nervous sy...

Friday and Monday we were writing down the definitions of (I believe) organelles that are part of the urinary and digestive system. Here are some examples of some of the organs my class had to write down the definitions for, the esophagus, the pancreas, the liver, the small intestine, and the large intestine. One thing that I forgot to add is that there was one other paper that had the definitions down for my class because I did not want anybody thinking that my teacher would make us write the definitions on our own out of the blue. The way we knew the definitions was because on Thursday or Friday I forgot which day any ways my teacher showed what every organ that we had to write the definition for what each organ did in order. But the fun part was she assigned every single person in my science class an organ to make it fun. What also helped was that Ms. J went over the answers with my science class also she allowed ...

Today in science my class learned about the urinary system. One thing I learned about the urinary system is that you would die without it. Because it tells your body when it is time to go to the bathroom and if nothing told your body and brain when it is time to go to the bathroom then you would die because their would be to much waste in your body. So what we did in class is we had a paper and it had information about the urinary system and we had to answer questions on the paper. My class did each question together including Ms. J, my class also read the text together. This is what I mean by we read the text together so basically anybody could jump in after a person was done reading a little bunch of text.

         On Monday and Tuesday all the groups for the organelle project for science in Ms. Johnson's class presented their posters. Well we didn't really present them more like shared them. What I mean by shared is we got a paper to write down answers that the paper asked on each and every poster including your own and the group that I was in did chloroplasts. The hardest part about doing this paper was getting all the facts down because some posters wrote a lot, other posters you couldn't understand the writing, and others didn't even answer the question that the paper asked. The questions that were asked were what is the crime, the physical description, what was the accomplices, and the location of the organelle.  To: Ms. Johnson http://f.tqn.com/y/biology/1/S/S/W/animalcell.jpg                   ...
