In my plant experiment I wanted to see what ash did to plants, and guess what it helped it grow! But too much ash could kill the plant. We had 7 cups numbered 0,1,2,3,4,5,&6. The cup numbered "0" had no ash, cup "1" had 1 millimeter, cup "2" had 2 millimeters, 3 had 3 and so on all the way to 6. In the end the cup with the most ash grew the most. It also grew way faster that if the plant had to ash. To conclude my project i can say ash does help plants grow!

In my class we did an experiment to pretend we had a lunch and we had to figure out how many miles our lunch traveled to get to us. The first category is drink and I chose milk. The milk we chose came from Sequim and it traveled 26.2 miles to Port Hadlock. Next category was bread and we picked whole grain bread that came from Montana to Seattle which is 720 miles then from Seattle to Port Hadlock was 48 with a total of 768. Next category was protein and we chose hamburger and it came from Tenino to Shelton which took 35.5 miles then from Shelton to Port Hadlock it took 110 miles which in total is 145.5. Next was other filling and we chose red bell pepper and it was home grown. Next was fruit and veggies and we chose apple and from Yakima valley to Seattle it was 144 miles then from Seattle to Port Hadlock it was 48 miles which in total is 192. Last was snack and we chose potato chips which were from Grant County WA to Vancouver WA and that is 295 then Vancouver to Olympia is 105 Olympia to hadock was 97 miles which total was 497. The total miles was 1628.5 and the total for the whole meal which 6028 pounds of carbon it produced.

Mitosis vs Meiosis!(:

Mitosis refers to a division of cells. Meiosis on the other hand refers to the division of gametes(sperm or an egg). So it goes diploid to haploid. The difference between Mitosis and Meiosis is that Meiosis is a sexual reproduction of cells and Mitosis is not.
Meiosis is a special type of cell that make gametes with half as many chromosomes. A gamete is a sexual product. The opposite process would be syngamy or fertalization, a new and very different organism that has unique genetic information different from either parent is made. The sygote divides and grown to form an embryo which turns into a young organism.
Mitosis is where chromosomes are copied and split. It starts with prophase. Prophase is when the DNA duplicates. They became exactly the same like a clone. Then theres metophase which is when the DNA duplicates and face eachother. On the opposite sides. Anaphase is next and is when the daughter chromosomes move away from eachother to opposite sides of the cell. Last is telephase and thats where all cells seperate and form nuclei.

Plant Cells & Animal Cells

Plant cells and animal cells have a lot of things in common like: Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Mitochondria, Nucleus, Peroxisomes, Plasma Membranes, Ribosomes. But they also have differences like: plant cells have Cell Walls, Chloroplasts and Vacuole and animals cells don't. Also, animal cells have Centrioles, Flagellum and Lysosomes and plant cells don't.

There was so much and when i went to look over our video I didnt really see any Elodea although my teacher got e video of Elodea moving i did not!

These are pictures of Paramecium they are swimming around in water this is evidence that they are living! Me and my class had a vial full of them and we used an microscope and studied them watching them move also watching them eat! What my teacher Mr. Gonzalez did was die the yeast that they eat red and put it with the Paramecium. To see if they ate the yeast we looked to see if they had red on them. There was a problem that some of the water absorbed the red die so it was kind of red but if we looked good enough we saw that they did eat some! Watch this video and see for yourself(I'm sorry the video taker i used speeds it up so pause or slow the video down if you want).

My Yeast Experiment!!!:)

Me and my partner hadlei asked the question "How does the liquid affect the yeast?" and our answer is the the sugar water is the only one that affected the yeast by making the balloon blow up and it measured 6 inches around and then on the least day it shrunk a little from deflation and it shrunk down to 4.75 inches and the all started at 4.5 inches. Our evidence is we checked everyday for change and vial e is the only one that blew up a little it started at 4.5 inches then blew up to 6 inches then shrank to 4.75 inches. Inaccuracies or sources of error are the balloons were not sealed so it let gasses out. Observations are there was no change for vial a,b,c and d but vial e grew on the second day and shrunk on the last day. I understood that out of all our liquids vial e only made the balloon blow up. A pertinent question would be why did only sugar water make the balloon blow up?

An environment affects organisms because if it is in salt water it will not grow but what my class found out that it grow at the same speed and only the radish grew and the brine hatched that was the only living things and they didn't make progress in salt water they just died. My group had sugars water and the brine appeared alive because I watched it hatch and the radish appeared alive because every time my group checked on it it had sprouted more.

. I also did the toilet handle and gum under the table. The toilet handle only had one dot of bacteria and the gum had 3. And tothis conclusion don't forget to wash your hands to protect yourelf and others.
