This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Day 1)

    This week in science we observed our spider habitat to see any changes we saw. A lot changed in our habitat like our plants grew , we had a few fruit flies in our tank and some of our insects died. After observing our fantasy habitat we looked at fruit flies in a jar and we saw how they eat and their babies. We also started answering the question about how many babies a 3 fruit flies if we leave them in a jar for 3 weeks. That's all we did so far in this week of science.


    This week in science we learned a lot about fruit flies. I learned that fruit flies could lay up to 20 eggs a day and after that they develop quickly. I also learned the fruit fly life cycle, it goes from the egg to the larva then to that pupa and after the pupa a fruit fly is fully developed. The process from a egg to a full grown fruit fly takes 16 days. Fruit flies are small insects but they reproduce very quickly.

This Week in Science (Ecosystems)

     This week in science was a very productive week for us because we did alot of activities. First we designed our spider habitat on a poster paper. Then after designing it on paper we had to design our real tank so we to went to the community garden to get things for our tank. In the community garden we met the gardener Bob and we picked under rocks for insects, worms, slugs and many other weird creatures. After we finished up in the garden we went to a fish store and saw a lot different fish then David bought us hot chocolate and we went back to school.

    This week in science we learned alot about spider habitats.We learned how to set up the habitat for our spiders and we also learned were to find insects and worms to put in our tank. We also learned what moss is and how it grows when u put it on rocks. We also learned about the carbon-oxygen cycle and how the insects breathe out carbon and breathe in oxygen. The oxygen they breathe in comes from plants or from the moss.We also learned about our organisms and how they survive.


      I want to know where does moss come from because its like a grass but its not really grass, it looks real cool. I also want to know what are slugs because there just like a big blob that moves around and there also rare to find. Im also curious about why did we put a plastic over the tank and when are the spiders going to live there. Thats all im really curious about.

Fantasy Habitat

This week in science I chose an animal and created a fantasy for it. the animal i chose was a lion because lions are my favorite animal and thier the king of the jungle. After i gathered all the information for my lion i created a mini poster with the lion and all the things in its biome. I drew a lion and everything else in the habitat they live in. After finishing my drawing i colored it and i made this post.


This week in science i learned all about lion and the habitat it lives in. The lion lives in the savanah where theres dry land and many other animals live in like wildebeest. I also leanred about the biotic features which means the living things in the biome. I also learned about abiotic features which are the non living things in the biome. This week was a very productive week because i learned all about lions and thier habitat and i illustrated a picture for it myself.

This week in Science: Energy Transfer

In science this week i created a fantasy habitat of a lion. After i finished with the fantasy habitat i created a the food chain of the lion. Next to the food chain of the lion we created an energy pyramid to represent the percentage of  energy each thing had. This week in science was very focused on our fantasy animal that we chose and we studied everything about that animal. This week was a very cool week and we learned alot about an animal we chose.



This week in science we did a lot and we learned a lot about the animal we chose. I learned about producer, consumers, biotic features and abiotic features.We also learned how food chains work like what eats what are the producers, consumers and other roles in a food chain. We also learned how to make a energy chains and how to put the animals in order from the energy they produce. This week in science was very focused on our fantasy habitat and energy pyramids and energy chains.

This week in Science (Spider habitat design)

This week in science we designed our habitat for our spiders. We had to come up with ideas about what to put inside our cage for the spider to survive. We made a poster with everything we came up with to put inside the cage for the spider, we put in insects,water,vines and many other things. We also played a nice game where we travled around diferent reservoirs and we saw how they each changed as we traveled and what they had in them.This week was a very productive week and we accomplished alot of things.


This week in science we did and learned alot. We learned what spiders need to survive and we learned how to set up a good habitat for a spider.We also learned alot about reservoirs in a game we played where we had to travel around looking how things transfer and how things live in the reservoirs. We also learned how things moved from one reservoir to another and what type of things lived in them.
