This Week in Science (Carrying Capacity and Relationships)

This week in science we discussed the words : Limiting factors and Carrying capacity.We did this in order to understand the definitions of each word to play the game.We played in game call "Oh Deer" in order to learn how the limiting factors affect the carrying capacity.After we play the game we did a graphic to represent the data of the game.The next day we watch videos to defined in own our words the definitions of the words : Predator/Prey , Mutualism , Commensalism , and Parasitism.Then we organized some cards to see how organisms interact in their environment.




This week in science i learned how the availability of resources affects the population in an ecosystem.I also learned the definitions of Limiting factors : the avariable energy , water , oxygen , and minerals , and the ability of ecosystem to recycle the remains of dead organisms.Also i learned how organisms interact in their environment.I learned the relationships of organisms.Predator/Prey : The predator eats the prey ; Mutualism : Were both protect each other ; Commensalism : One animal benefits from the other and the other don't get benefits , and Parasitism : They(parasite) benefits from a person(host),but the person get something negative.

This Week in Science: Energy Transfer

This week in science i did a food chain of the habitat of the Panda i created.I have to do a food chain of all the things that are in my habitat.In my food chain i the sun,bamboo,the Panda and a tiger .Then i did a energy pyramid of the food chain.In the energy pyramid i put the same animals but with different levels of energy.




This week i learned to identify the roles that organisms play in a food chain.I learned the definition of producer(Make its own food),consumer(Eats another organism),primary consumer(Gets its energy from producers),secondary consumer(Gets its energy from primary consumers) and tertiary consumer(Gets its energy from secondary consumers).Also i learned how energy transfers from organism to organism in a food chain.I learned the definition of some others words like autotroph(Producer),heterotroph(Consumer),herbivore(Primary consumer) and carnivore(Secondary or tertiary consumers).

My Fantasy Habitat

This week in Science class i pick an animal and draw it in my notebook.Second i research information about Panda's biome.I search abiotic and biotic things that are in the the Rain forest.The next day i illustrate my own habitat of the Panda.In my illustration i have to shows my animal and 5 abiotic and biotic things that are in the Rain forest.




This week i learned what are the definitions of abiotic and biotic.Abiotic is non-living things and biotic is living things.I also learned that the Panda have 6 fingers on each hand.I also learned that the Pandas live in the Rain forest.The climate they live is windy and sunny.Not clod or not how somewhere middle.The Pandas like to be alone most of the time.



This is my habitat of the Panda that i illustrate.
