So far in science we have just worked on our biomes on wix. In the last couple days we started to work on our boxes and i accomplished the river that i did going through my box and i put in a few trees and grass and i an also doing research on ostriches fun fact about ostriches the dominant female ostrich will lay 7-10 eggs in the centre of the nest and the other ostriches will lay towards the outside of the nest so a communal nest would have about 60 eggs and the other animal that i am going to do is the giraffe.

 

 

 

 

 

in science class we learned about the nitrogen cycle, how it works is a plant called legumes have nitrogen fixing bacteria (NFB)

and turns nitrogen into nitrates what the plants can use. and then we eat the plants. We also took a test this week about the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle and atoms and then on Thursday we did not get science 🙁 because we went to interlochen to see a percussion performance (something that you scratch strike or rub) and it was very cool especially when they used
car parts as instruments and the water gong was cool but it was to loud for me. Then at the end of the week we picked out differenthabitats for a biome project-i got grasslands.

 

In science class we talked about the water cycle and how it works. In the picture it shows precipitation that causes runoff which then evaporates into the clouds and the transpiration is… say it rains the the water that the plant does not soak up the plant sweats so the water comes out of its pours then goes up into the clouds. Also we played a food web game that Josie made new cards to and how you play that is everyone gets five cards each and they have animals on them and you put them in the order that the sheet says to put them in and you take turns drawing cards and sometimes you get a picture card and sometimes you get a word card that says something like take a producer from someones food web and you keep playing until you are out of cards.
