7 factoids
We have three 6th grade Science classes and two 8th grade Science classes blogging here from the Pacific Northwest in Chimacum, WA! Sixth graders are learning a bit about Mt Saint Helens, environmental science through fresh water ecology, and physical science this year. Eighth graders are learning about life science this year. Please join us as we learn Science by exploring our world.

Plant cells v.s. Animal cells

I have studied both the plant ant the animal cells and I have found some similarities and differences between them.
These are some things that both types of cells have:
Plasma Membrane, a Nucleus, a Nucleolus, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Recticulum, Golgi Body, Peroxisomes, and Microtubles
These are some things that only plant cells have:
The shape of a Plant Cell is more square like, Cell Wall, Chloroplast and Vacuole.
These are some things that only animal cells have:
The shape of an Animal Cell is more of a circle, Centrioles, Flagellum, and Lysosomes
Those are some similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. Thank you for reading!

While my group was looking through our microscope we saw a lot of paramisiam they moved a lot and they also ate. What we did not notice that the blobs all over the place were the things we were looking for, amoeba they did not move at all but our seience teacher taped one and when it was fast forwarded it moved all over the screen

My New Opinion on Global Warming

We as humans create many things that destroy our atmosphere such as industries, cars, heating homes and cuting down trees. This is only a little of what we are doing. We create too many green house gasses. If too much CO2 gets into the atmosphere then it will lead to great floods, droughts and more spreading of infectious diseases. It will also increase the inensity of heat waves that come down to earth.
The website(http://www.causesofglobalwarming.net/the_facts.html) states the folowing facts and myths:
A myth: Global warming is just part of a natural cycle. The Arctic has warmed up in the past.
A fact: The global warming we are experiencing is not natural. People are causing it.
A fact: Actualy, water vapor traps more heat than CO2, because of the relationships among CO2, water vapor and climate, to fight global warming nations must focus on controlling CO2.
1. Can people do something now to fix the global warming part of climate change?
- Yes, based on reading many diffrent articles on the internet, I think that there is somthing that we can do to help slow-down or stop global warming from getting out of hand. Here are a few things we can do:
- We can start planting more trees for every tree that we cut down(because cutting down trees is a buisness and most won't quit doing it).
- We could pull our minds together and find more efficient ways in every day life such as better electric cars(from what I've herd most electric cars suck).
- We could make more homes using solar power or wind powered electricity.
These are great ways to help put a stop to global warming.
2. Should we do something now to fix global warming? Why or why not?
- Yes, even if we are late we still have time to fix it.
- If we don't:
Global warming is having a significant impact on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world. According to:(http://www.causesofglobalwarming.net/the_effects.html) "Clearly, if such ecological changes are now being detected when the globe has warmed by an estimated average of only 1 degree F (0.6 C) over the past 100 years, then many more far-reaching effects on species and ecosystems will probably occur by 2100, when temperatures could increase as much as 11 F (6 C)."

Living Qualities

Well, what qualities confirms that something is alive? In my opinion something that can repopulate is alive. If it can die then it was once alive. If it can breathe, consume, and if it can grow old it is alive.

My class did an experiment on 5 different things, red sand, yeast, orbies, radish, and brine shimp. We used these organisms in 3 different environments, H2O, sugar water, and salt water. The Environment affects organisms because organisms need a certain environment in order to survive. The seeds didn't grow in the salt water because the seeds need fresh water like the regular H2O or the sugar water. The salt water killed the seeds because it did not get the correct nutrients. Therefore, the seeds were not able to grow. Some of our living organisms appeared non living because it didn't show any sign of life like breathing or movement. Like the seed, brine shrimp, and yeast, all of them did nothing in our tubes. They need time to grow in the environment. Organisms need to to be exposed to the right enviroment. Like seeds need fresh water to be able to grow. The brine shrimp appeared non living even in the salt water. For some reason Domanic touched them when the instructions told us not to. Thats all for today kids!

My opinion on global warning

I think that humans can help global warning but cannot stop it because it has already happened. If we could stop it the north and south pole would probably slowly remake themselves. I don't think that global warming can be stopped because it has already started.
