Post 11: This Week in Science (No Impact Man)

No Impact Man's year long project is a project a man and his family did.The project consist that him and his family would no impact the environment for a whole year.They life start changing a lot.They start to be vegetarian and eat only farm food.They would not buy anything like paper.They recycled and used solar energy.No trains,planes and automobiles.They did the laundry in the bath tub with their feet.They would put their garbage in a box with worms so they we eat it and not do so many garbages.



No Impact Man's behavior lower his negative impact on the environment by recycling.He stop using electricity, transportation, TV, refrigirator, no laundry, etc.He did this because he wanted to see how he and his family doing this can affect the world is a good way.He bought local food so the food wont be transported from place to place so like it would save more gas.


My reactions and feelings while watching this film was surprised,disgusting and happy.I was surprised because they try to do this project.They survive by eating food from framer market.It was disgusting for the thing the do.They do laundry in their bath tub with their feet and the kind of food their ate.And i was happy because they accomplished their project.I really was happy for them.

Post 10: This Week in Science (Fruit Fly DYO Part 1)

This week in Science we went to different stations.In the first station we write everything we did to put the fruit flies in the jar.In the second station we write the question and background research.And in the last station we write the hypothesis.The second day we went to the same stations again,but this time we did different things.In the fisrt station we pick the 2 jar we want to observe to compare with our jar.In the second station we make graphs to practice.And in the last station we observed out terrarium and write what we saw in our graph.



This week in Science i learned how write a good hypotheses using the form if,why,and because.Also i learned how data our investigations in a graph.I learned how explain the procedure of a investigation. How to graph the data on a graph.And i learned how observe my investigation to than write it on a graph.

Post 9: This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 2)

This week in Science we solve the problem "How many fruit flies would be after 3 weeks if we put 3 fruit flies in a jar?"We solve the problem with our group.My group and i solve the problem and graph it in a big paper.After we solve the problem we write a hypothesis about the results we get when we solve the problem.The results of my group were 240 adults and 2800 eggas after 3 weeks.




This week in Science i learned how calculate how many fruit flies can be in a jar after 3 weeks.I learned different  forms of solve the problem.Also i learned how write a hypothesis using if...them...because format.




If i put 6 fruit flies in a jar,4 females and 2 males.Then i expect to observe 240 adults and 2800 eggs because we start with 40 eggs.After 16 days the eggs turn in adults and the process continue.
