There's a Hair in My Dirt
In the book There's a Hair in My Dirt, there's a girl who doesn't understand the environment and messes with things she shouldn't have. She could have effected the food web in that area. We also learned that worms decompose dead things. -
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Biotic: Living or made from a living thing
Abiotic:Nonliving
This picture is an example of what is biotic and abiotic in an area. -
Venn Diagram
We chose 3 items off a list and made a venn diagram about them. -
Trophic Levels (Energy)
90% of energy is lost each time you move up level in a food chain. -
Planet Earth (Mountains)
We watced a Planet Earth video about mountains. I learned a lot. -
Population
We learned more about population, limiting factors, and related it to our classroom. -
Earth's Resources
We found out how much of earth's recources we use in a day. We also found out how much we use in a year. -
Quiz
We took a quiz today. -
Quiz
We took the quiz again. -
Planet Earth (Shallow Seas)
We watched a Planet Earth movie about Shallow Seas. -
Creature Creation
Today we created our own creatures. I named mine Bilby Urmah. -
Gummy Bears
We learned that if a food chain isn't balanced, it will collapse. -
Physical Properties
We divided up random items into catergories. One of them was: Shiny stuff: Water, marbles, clampy thing, and foil.
Not shiny stuff: Ball, action figure, toothpick, straw, black thing, and water squeezer. -
Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties of a faucet: Shiny, wierdly shaped, silver colored, you can turn it's handles, it's hard. Chemical Properties of a faucet: not flammable, no color change, high water resistence. -
Windiness
Is windiness a physical or chemical property?
Windiness is a physical property of air. -
Physical/Chemical Properties
How can you tell what chemical properties a substance has? Chemical properties can only be observed during a chemical change. -
Physical/Chemical Changes
How do you tell the difference between a gaseous physical and chemical change? You can smell it, look for color change, and see if it's the same substance. -
Physical/Chemical Changes
Things I learned today
1. When you add iodine to salt, sugar, cornstarch, and baking soda, the reactions are very different.
2. The shape of salt, sugar, cornstarch, and baking soda are not all circular
3. When you burn sugar, it smells really good! -
Atoms!
We learned about atoms today. The wave model is more accurate than the Bohr model. -
Atomic Structure
You must have more protons than electrons to mhave a positive ion. -
Winter Break
December 21 - January 3 -
Isotopes and Ions
An electron determines an ion because an electron determines the charge. A nuetron determines an isotope because a nuetron determines the mass. -
Periodic Table
What do the columns represent on the periodic table? The columns all have something in common about the rings around the nucleus.
