Snail Result. -- 06-11-12

2012-06-11T13:26:00-05:00

This week I experimented on how will cockroaches react in different environments. The first one is sand, second is salt, and third is metal. The conclusion was that it tried to escape the box no matter the environment it was in. Later I found out that it likes dark concealed space where it can not be found by predators.

My Odyssey Adventure -- 05-29-12

2012-05-29T13:22:55-05:00

Odyssey is a school field trip that is at Lake Cresent Washington for 5 days. I thought it was very enjoyable especially going to the Sol Duc spring. Another part that was cool was going to the Hoh Rainforest because it was never influenced by humans. Over all I think Odyssey was pretty fun.

The Snail Experiment -- 05-09-12

2012-05-09T13:27:02-05:00

This week me and my team are planning an experiment. The question is can snail sence danger? The result was that the snails 1 and 2 went to the salt. We tried it multiple times and they just kept going to the salt. We ate still trying to figure out why they kept going to the salt.

Snails have teeth
Snails are slimy
Snails have two eyes

How do they reproduce?

Sexual reproduction -- 03-01-12

2012-03-01T14:15:56-05:00

Why do people come out different? Well it' because of meiosis. Meiosis is when a cell makes an exact copy of it self. When the cell is at about the 3 stage of meiosis the chromosome shuffles it's DNA resulting in different looks personality and traits. Meiosis is an important part in life because it creates diversity.

Splitting Up -- 02-09-12

2012-02-09T14:05:05-05:00

During the last few weeks my fellow classmates and I have been learning about cells. One of the thing we learned is mitosis. Mitosis is when a cell splits into two. When the eukaryotic cell split it's chromosomes in its neucleus into two identical sets into separate neuclei. The next stage is called
cytokinesis it's when the components of the cell split into two cells containing nearly the same amount of cell components, then eventually those two diploid cells will mature into cells.Mitosis is a process which ocurrs very quickly. If there is any error during mitosis the cell my die or mutate into a type of cancer.

Bacteria Every Where!!! -- 02-06-12

2012-02-06T14:27:53-05:00

My classmate and I did an experiment on bacteria. Our question was which sample had the most bacteria? Our sample with the most bacteria was the soil. My evedence was that there was some slimy liquid and it looked like it originated from the bacteria zone. We actualy collected samples from the lunch room, bath room, key board and playground soil and soil came out on top. After we collected the sample we then put it in the incubator and grew the bacteria. After we grew the bacteria we then do not open it because the bacteria could contaminate the room. So in our experiment the soil was has the most bacteria I think it has the most most bacteria because people walk over the soil and their shoe carries bacteria.

Mini pond of Science -- 01-26-12

2012-01-26T13:36:46-05:00

In our exploration of the microscopic world I found some living organism in mini pond. There where only two organisms that appeared in in my microscope frequently those two organism were paramecium and amoeba. Paramecium and ameoba are single celled organism that means it can survive on its own with out the help of other cells. Multicellular organisms can't survive on it's own it needs other cells to support it. For example an elodia leaf is comprised of multiple cells and those cells depend on one another to survive.

Plant and animal cell comparison -- 01-06-12

2012-01-06T14:26:53-05:00

There are many difference and similarities between plant and animal cells. Some difference include, plant cells are retangular shaped and animal cell are round. Plant cells have cell walls and animal cell dose not. Both have neucleus,cytoplasm, ribosomes,midacondria, endoplasm reticulum.

Microscopes -- 01-03-12

2012-01-03T14:15:34-05:00

A month ago me and my team learned how to operate a microscope. When viewing a moving specimen to move your view up move the slide down basically move the slide in the opposite direction there are also two knobs on the side of the microscope. One is for normal zooming and the other one is for fine focus. There also is a switch to turn on the light for making it easier to see the subject.

My experiment -- 12-07-11

2011-12-07T14:26:47-05:00

During science my group did a experiment on, can a plant grow on sugar and water. There were 6 vial each vial had a different amount of sugar. Vial 2 had one teaspoon of sugar as the vials number increase so does the teaspoon amount of sugar. Vial 1 the only vial with no sugar grew out of the vial. Vial two had one teaspoon of sugar and showed little growth and the rest showed no growth at all. In conclution radish does not grow in sugar.

How Can We Help? -- 11-09-11

2011-11-09T23:08:33-05:00

I think global warming would be almost impossible to stop completely because it has been occuring for a longtime. But it is possible to slow it down for example you can ride your bikes to your destination and if you don't have a bike then I don't know whats wrong with you, any way you can always carpool with your friends to slow down global warming. My point is that if global warming continues it will not just effect humans it will also effect some of Earths majestic creatures. Like for example the lion because of global warming temperatures has been increasing in some parts of Africa so sooner or later the temperature will be too hot for lions to live in that habitat and may be they might die off. So in order safe and preserve wild life do your part to slow down global warming and may be one day people will find a way to stop global warming completely.

What is living? -- 10-07-11

2011-10-07T14:25:48-05:00

Living means to have a life cycle to consume food to breathe, grow, and excrete waste. Here are some example of living organisms a tree, cell, potato, leaf, butterfly, grass, and bacteria.

Elastic Force -- 05-05-10

2010-05-05T10:26:44-05:00

This week I learned about elastic force.I used a rubber band, a bolt, and a Newton scale.It turns out as the streching distance increases so does the elastic force.

How Batteries Work? -- 04-26-10

2010-04-26T10:34:50-05:00

Alessandro Volta made the first battery in 200 years ago.Now batteries these days are alot more smaller and can hold more energy. When you charge your battery the energy comeing from the charger goes into the battery and becomes stored chemical energy, and when you use it on a light bulb the energy again transforms into electrolyte and curculates through the curcits createing light and heat. When energy moves it is called kanetic enrgy. You can also use a battery on a motor, when energy it used to power moveing object the energy is called mechcanical energy. Batteries has been around for a while from 10 meters that can barely hold energy to very small size that hold alot energy and I predict batteries will keep evoleing.

Fresh Water Pollution -- 11-06-09

2009-11-06T16:45:50-05:00

What Is Water Pollution?

Water pollution is made of terrible waste products or other substances. This happens when physical, thermal, chemical, or biological characteristics of the water adversely affecting living species and reducing the waters beneficial uses.

“When pollutants enter a river system from a range of land uses across its catchments. Often, poor water quality is the result of the combined effects of a variety of activities in the catchments. Some pollution comes from sources which can be pin pointed for example a factory or intensive agriculture discharging its waste into a drain.” 18-4.pdf (page 1 0f 6) River and estuary pollution.

A nitrate is a natural compound present in all ecosystems. It is one of the chemicals essential to plant life but a lot can be a problem for plants and animals. Nitrate is also a component chemical and manure based fertilizers. would you want this cute little polar bear to die swimming in water pollution?

How Does Water Pollution Affect You?

If you pollute the oceans sustain life on this planet we wouldn’t have any fresh water to drink. It would be hard to breath. Also if you drink excessive level of nitrate, it can cause you extreme illness, death symptoms, blueness of skin, and even trouble breathing. Nitrates include potential effects from life time exposure at the levels above MCL. The safe level for nitrates in drinking water is 10-kg (22 lb.) For children consuming water amount 1 litter per day. 10-day exposure to 10 MG/L total nitrate/nitrite. To bring down the level of nitrate in your water, you should use less amount of fertilizer so that the water will be only a little polluted. If you don’t use fertilizer at all that’s great! Tile drainage system can be placed deep in the soil. There for it reduced the chance of nitrate entering the river system.

What can be done to improve the quality of water after it has been polluted?

Solutions involve finding sustainable ways for the urban area to reduce both its dependence on pollutants and the amount of pollutants. You could also pick up the piece of litter when you see it.

How Can I Help Prevent Water Pollution?

1.You could maintain routine surveillance of the waterways.

2.you could monitor water quality to detect signs of pollution or contamination.

3.You could also follow up complaints and concerns referred by the community.people cleaning up water pollution!

Four types of volcanoes -- 11-02-09

2009-11-02T22:16:51-05:00

Four types of volcanoes

The first type of volcano is a composite volcano. It is made of
layers of solid lava flows infused with layers of sand. They can
be tens of miles across and ten thousand feet high. A good example of
a composite volcano is Mount St Helens. The second type of volcano
is a cinder cone volcano. It’s about a mile across and ten thousand
feet high. They’re made of entirely loose grain, and have very steep
sides, also have small crater on top. The third type of volcano is the
shield volcano. These volcano can be hundreds of miles across and
tens of thousands of feet high. It consist of low slopes and almost
fully frozen lavas, it usually have a large crater on top. A good
example of a shield volcano is the Mauna Loa. It’s a volcano
at Hawaii it is the world largest single mountain. It also is
30,000 feet above ocean floor. The last type of volcano is the
Giant caldera. It is hundreds or even thousands of miles across.
These volcano form by collapses in huge eruptions. One caldera could
fill Yellowstone Park.
