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.
