One fact is that they eat fallen fruit and Decaying organic matter. It posses horns and is wingless. They hiss when disturbed or alarmed. They make the hissing sound by pushing out air through slits in the abdomen. They grow up to three inches. Female cockroaches dont lay eggs they give birth to live babies. They product as many as 60 nymphs

I dont know alot about cockroaches except that there are alot of them in new york. I would like to know how it is that cockroaches could live through a bombing. Thats ALL id like to know about cockroaches because i think they are disgusting and need to be extinct because theyre just gross. Also i wonder if they carry diseases.

I thought odyssey was fun we got to see some really cool stuff like tatoosh island and so cool beaches. At odyssey i went on the ozette hike which was nine miles the three miles on the beach was really hard because it was hard to walk on slippery rocks and seaweed and through deep sand. Plus we had an incident where one of our teachers was Saving the earth and humanity by picking up garbage... What a saint. Allin all it was a good experience and I had lots of fun!

We claimed that our snail would slide best on the table.
We have no evidence because the snail wouldn't crawl anywhere because he's a failure BUT when he DID move he seemed to be moving better on the table. Once again we cannot back up this claim though because he did not move very much. Inaccuracies was because he didn't move. Our experiment failed. But we did learn that snails will eat rice crispy cereal.

We are going to start learning about snails. I know that snails are little and slimy and have shells.... And that You can crush them easily. I know that snail eats stuff in gardens too. I wonder how fast snails can go and I wonder how snails have babies.

Weekday experiment to see if volcanic ash would help grow radish plants. We observed and saw that it did. The plant with six ml's of ash grew about three inches more then the one without ash on it. We did have one inaccuracy..... I accidentally knocked over a plant.... That one didn't grow very well. We did make a model volcano and tried to make a simulation of mount saint helens erupting but that didn't work out. Ash holds in Wat and we proved that because whenever we would go to water the plants they would still have water anthem from the previous day. Ash also encourages bacteria which actually helps the plants grow. We also learned that if you put more then four inches of ash on a plant you cam get sick. All in all this was a very fun experiment and we learned a lot.

heres what i got from making a punnett square!

Offspring from sexual reproduction have more diverse characteristics then asexual reproduction because, asexual means that you don't need a mate to reproduce in sexual reproduction you do need a mate.when you have something made from sexual reproduction it gets genes from both mom AND dad, unlike asexual reproduction when it's offspring just get one pair of genes from the "parent". This is why sexual reproduction produces more diversity because they get more genes more traits.

I conclude that the door handles in our school carry the most bacteria in our school. The are in which we swabbed the door handle there are several colonies. In one area there is a big rough edged blotch of bacteria, there's also another area that almost looks like it was spray-painted on. On inaccuracy we had was where we swabbed the gum under the tables there's is a spot of bacteria growing out of the z-shape we swabbed. I learned that bacteria can form perfectly rounded circles and that they can grow in different shapes. I wonder why on the door handles area the bacteria didn't all grow in the same size/ shape and color something to look into next time I guess!
