SNAILS!!!!!!!!!!

We would have to say that the snails crawled fastest on the tabletop surface although we dont have any evidence to back it up bacause our snail Gary is a complete FAILURE!!!! and of what he did move he seemed to move fastest on and easiest on the tabletop. Our inaccuracies were that our snail didnt move very well. our snail really liked the rice krispy cereal, that is what we used to try and motivate him. the surfaces that we tested on was the table top cardboard and paper towels.

We are going to start a new project on snails. what i want to learn is if snails can jump, or if it will choose one food over the other.i already know that snails are slimy and gross and only come out when it rains or else they will shrivel up and die.

My team and I (Taylor, Heidi, and Jonna) wanted to see if volcanic ash would act as fertilizer for our radish seeds. what we did is we had seven cups and we filled up each cup with the same amount of soil then we marked each cup as none, i ml, 2 ml, etc. all the way to 6 ml. of ash. we would water them each 20 ml. of water. near the end of the expirement the cup with 6 ml. of water. without soil the plants have nothing to anchor down in to hold them still from the wind. the soil holds in nutrients left over from surrounding dead plants.

Bacteria in our School

The question that we asked before we started was what surface would grow
the most bacteria. We had predicted that the toilet seat would have grown the most bacteria but IT DIDN'T as a matter of fact it didn't grow any bacteria at all. The surface that we predicted would grow the least amount of bacteria grew the most the gym door handles. The gum under the table had grown one colony but we had some contamination because the other colony was off of the spot we swabbed. After the first day we noticed that the gym door handle section was crawling with bacteria it was an explosion of bacteria. I think it would be fun to do this lab again, because I think that the toilet seat was just cleaned that night and next time i think we should swab it at the end of the day.

Environments effected the brine shrimp because in the sugar water which is the liquid my team had the brine shrimp grew and hatched most effectively. In the salt water the brine shrimp did not hatch very well although that is what the brine shrimp are supposed to grow in. The tap water the brine shrimp did not grow at all.

energy transfers

Energy changes from one form to another when you connect it to a battery charger. it transforms to chemical energy which is potential energy. it changes to potential energy from the energy from the outlet. the chemicals for it to transform into potential energy are already in the battery and that is what makes it a rechargeable battery.
