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.

Anthropomorphism means Attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to inanimate objects, animals, or natural phenomena. We anthropomorphism our cockroaches when the cockroach went to the dry soil 4/5 times and we are guessing that they like dry soil better, but we can't tell if they went there because they like dry soil or they were afraid of human and just wanted to get away.

For you people who don't know, anthropomorphism means to apply human characteristics or behavior to non human animals or objects. In other words, to personify something. We applied this to our snails when we gave them four different kinds of food we eat to choose from. The food was from our lunches that we brought to school.

For those of you who dont know Anthropomorphism means to ascribe human attributes to a plant or animal. So pretty much to personify something.
We were asked about our snail and roach experiments and how we personified them through our experiments.
With our snail experiments we did selective choice in taste and sight. they got to choose which foods they wanted,like people do.
For our roaches we did navigation and common sense by placing it in a maze and seeing how long it took it to maneuver through it. Which shows human common sense.
