Blue!!! 12/15/19

Butterflies are so many different colors because it is either to say i’m toxic or it is to tell if it is a male or a female. Did you know that flamingos are pink because of carotinoids from shrimp! Also Blue butterflies aren’t really blue the pigment on there wings is just light bounces of of there wings and makes it a blue. Same with blue jays and peacock feathers those blues aren’t actually a pigment the are just from the angle and the way you look at them. Did you know that trees can communicate through there roots called micro rhizome and they can communicate whether there is a heard of insects coming so the other tree could increase production of something to prepare themselves. They can also send glucose to a seedling that cant produce it as well.

Bacteria 12/8/19

This week in science we did an experiment, what did is we got petrie dishes with agar in them and on the bottom it was separated into 4 quadrants and in a group we chose different things for every person in our group and when when you got home you would swab the thing that you chose and rub it gently onto the agar then we brought them bak to school and put them on the heater, and then the bacteria grows on the agar. We also watched some people present and worked on our slides.
