Earlier this week, we were able to look through the microscopes. In the non-digital microscopes, you would see things inverted. They were upside down. We looked at feathers, ribbons, and magazines through the microscopes.
If you wanted it go up, you'd move down. If you want to go left, you would move right. The magnafication of the microscopes was really cool. We could not take pictures of thi microscope because it was not digital like our other ones.

Orbeez!!

Heidi and I were wondering what different liquids effect the growth of polyacrylate crystals, also known as orbeez.
We put three orbeez in five different vials. Each vial contained a different liquid. Orange Juice, Yeast Water. Sugar Water, Salt Water and Fizzy Water. We learned that the Orbeez grew largest in sugar water. It grew smallest in the orange juice because in orderr to grow, it needs water. At first, we had an experiment to see what Brine Shrimp grow in better but our expirement was knocked over by an unnamed person (Olivia)(:. We learned that orbeez are not living even though they seem as if they are due to the fact that they grow. It takes more then one characteristic of living things to prove that something is living. I wonder if the amount of light effected how our orbeez grew.

Heidi and I created an experiment with polyacrylate crystals, known as Orbies. We wanted to see which liquid they would grow biggest in. We chose to put polyacrylate crystals in orange juice, salt water, carbonated water, sugar water and yeast water. We predicted that the orbits would grow very large in every liquid but the orange juice. We will check for results every day.

Ten teams. The same organisms. Different environments. Different results. We had three different liquids. Liquid 1 was salt water. Liquid 2 was sugar water. Liquid 3 was just water. We also had 5 materials. A was red sand. B was Yeast. C was Polyacrylate (Also known as Orbies.) D was Raddish and E was Brine Shrimp. (Also known as Sea Monkeys!) Nothing grew in the salt water. The Raddish and Shrimp grew in the sugar water and water. The Sea Monkeys should of grown in the salt water seeing as how that is their naturaul environment. We saw no evidence of life in the Yeast, Red Sand or Polyacrylate. Different environments affect organisms vastly. They can only adapt if they need to. Some of the living organisms like Yeast may have appeared to be non-living because we were not able to tell if it was moving or breathing. It just looked liked bubbles. There should of been a lot of activity in the Yeast in the sugar water because it eats water. Many things require certain environments. Some things are almost in a state of hibernation. Once they are in the right environments with the right materials. They come to life. :)

You see that picture below? What do you think it is? Do you think it's living? I do. For one, it's smells nasty. It also comes out of the black eggs. My partner Heidi and I watched them hatch. They look like minature shrimp. I just found out that they were Sea Monkeys! At first, we had absolutly no idea what they were. We wern't even able to tell that they were living. After we saw them under the microscope, e found that they were alive. We were able to watch them hatch. It turns out there are many ways to tell if they're living. If they can hatch, they are definatly living. We were able to hatch them in sugar water and yeast. Odd right? They wern't supposed to hatch, but, they did. Odd creatures Sea Monkeys are.

Living, or not?

Living things. So many of them. There are many different characteristics of living things. Living things breath, move, reproduce, grow, eat food and have cells. I'm living. Did you know a rocking horse was once living because it was made from a tree? I know! Weird right!? Living things. So many many things are living. Today we also debated whether a seed is living. It is, it's kind of like a bear in hibernation.

Global Warming

I think that people can fix Global Warming, although the damage we've done is irreversable, we can still stop from doing any more damage to the Earth, if we stop cutting down the rainforests, we can get rid of a lot of Co2 if we keep the trees. Trees absorb Co2 and exhale oxegyn. I think we should start helping the Earth now so we don't have to deal with any worse consequences then neccesary. But, that's just what I think.
