   This week I learned about what a symbiotic relationships are. Because my science class got a paper to do with Ms. Johnson about symbiotic relationships. Symbiotic relationships mean mutualism, commensalism, parasitism and competition. But my class only learned about mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism is when both organisms benefit, commensalism is when one organism benefits but the other organism doesn't get hurt, and parasitism is when one organism benefits while the other organism is getting harmed. An example of mutualism is splitting money in half, both organisms (  humans ) benefit because one organism is getting money and the other organism is too. An example of commensalism is a bird having a nest on a tree the bird is benefiting by getting a place to live/stay but the tree isn't getting harmed. An example of parasitism is lice in your hair the lice is benefiting by getting to have food but the human is getting harmed because it is losing blood.   

            This week we learned about the differences between an omnivore, carnivore, insectivore, and herbivore also what they are. We also learned in science what are the differences producers, decomposers, and consumers also what they are. So what we did in class to learn this we played some games on our computer to learn about producers, decomposers, and consumers. What we did to learn about omnivores, carnivores, insectivores, and herbivores is we did two work sheets. Although this may sound boring it was still a fun learning experience.             Link for Image I Searched on Google Link for Image I Searched on Google
