         This week in science we were told that we was going to have a cellar spider and we had to make a stable environment in the tanks that was giving to us. In class a to watch a video on how cellar spiders capture its prey.But before that happen their were papers all around the classroom that had to do with the ecosystem such as plant cells, chloroplast, carbon cycle, producers, decompose rs,and many more.We were given post its and had to write a definition as to what we know about that word. After that we got our tank and a white piece of paper and was told to sketch a picture as to what we want the ecosystem to look like for our spider. After days passed we went to Seward park to collect abiotic and biotic thing for the tank. My group got dead plants, sticks, little insects, a center pied, and other biotic and abiotic things. Abiotic is a nonliving thing and boitic is living things.

    I have learned many facts about cellar spiders and how the ecosystem works. I learned that cellar spider are often compared to daddy long legs because of their thin long legs. I also learned that cellar spiders like very dark places they are commonly found in the United States in houses or basements. I know that cellar spiders could only live up to a year and when it is ready to capture its prey, the spiders legs move in a 360 motion very rapidly that you cannot see the wrapping of the web.

TWIS #12

This is my spider log book that I
created to keep information on my spider. 

              This week in science was a very interesting week because we had to learn about symbiotic relationships,energy pyramids, and food chains. A food chain shows each how each living thing gets its food. A energy pyramid is different levels that represents groups of organisms.A symbiotic relationship is mainly from the root symbiosis which is an interaction process between two or more biological species. However it is split up into different categories which is mutualism, parasitism and commensalism. Mutalism is the relationship between two species of organisms in which both benefit from the associate. Commensalism is the living together of two organisms in a relationship that is beneficial to one and had no effect on the other. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationshipin which organism benefits and the other doesn't. We also watched brain pop videos about them and test our knowledge by doing worksheets. 

            This week in science I did a lot of things such as creating ,my spider log book and  writing down what I found interesting in the tank and what had change through out the ecosystem, the days I  wasn't able to check it.  We also played a game on David's blog about symbiotic relationship and how one organism could affect the  food chain and how  the ecosystem works.

TWIS #13

Objective: If we were to add five more spiders to your spider habitat tank, what would happen? And why? Use these terms in your explanation: glucose, photosynthesis, energy, carbon dioxide, oxygen.




                    If you were to add five more spiders the habitat that we have provided for our spider(London) then the spider might live. I state this as my hypothesis  because in a ecosystem thier is a cycle. This cycle goes like this; the sun gives light to the damp soil that is filled with H2O which make producers (plants). They are autotroph in other words makes their own food. From there the producers goes into the next stage that produces glucose which is sugar. The glucose helps the seedling grow because it gives the seedling the extra carbon that is need. After that, the consumer which is meat eaters and also considered a heterotoph because it cannot make its own food and have to depend on other organisms to live. However it helps the cycle because it gives the autotrophs Co2(carbon dioxide) and the autotroph helps them by producing O2(oxgen) back. This is the cycle of photoosynthesis, which is green plants, algae and some bacteria use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy in the form of glucose (sugar). In the process, oxygen is released into the atmosphere. Therefore the spider will live because of the elements hat is in the cycle. Therefore without one element it could throw the whole cycle of because they all depend on each others for the supply that is needed.

Human Impact Ad Campaign

In science class we have a logo that is "To much car Transportation; Should be an Allegation; Lets Save The Nation'. In the pictures I have on my blogger shows how the earth is cracking because of all the earth pollution. Everyday a car gives pollution it brings out carbon dioxide and the earth is crumbling in small pieces everyday. 

The Brooklyn Paper

         This Brooklyn paper is about the government spending over 140,000 dollars on legal fees to defend the Prospect Park bike lane. Basically it is about the government getting over raged at the fact that they are having to pay money on the bikers lane however the lawsuit , which last year earned international headlines ,and argued that th bike lane turned the peaceful bike lane into a harzdous bike lane for perdestarins.

 


           I think that they should have more bike lanes and less cars or use healthier gasolines to for the envrinmonet. I say this as my opinion because if we use heathier gasoline or reduce cars then we be a healthier planet and not have to live in global warming like we are today. I always wondered if people know that they are destroying the planet and how are they trying to change the way we live now? Do you think we could have healthier gasolines runing through the air because we are dying bit by bit everyday and it iis bad for the environment and also bad for us too.
