Week 5 May 21, 2009 This week I learned a lot of interesting facts in science. One thing I learned was that the smallest dinosaur was found in a desk. The dinosaur was a carnivore. Also that the water is 1 centimeter cubed. So there a bowling ball floats on water because it ways less then water. Then I also learned if you touch dry ice it will freeze the water in your skin and expand, so you will get a freezer burn.

Week 4 April 30, 2009 Brittany Eng I have learned a lot of interesting facts this week. But one that catches my eye is there is a way to cure people with a peanut allergy. So when people that have a peanut allergy they put .001 of a peanut in all their food and drinks. And every time they get use to that much of a peanut they put even a little bit more in their food and drinks, until they are able to have one or more peanuts. Many more interesting have been talked about this week but I think the peanut topic is the most interesting.

Week 3 April 17, 2009 Brittany Eng

I have learned a lot of interesting things this week. Mostly on ecology and all of the five environmental levels. The fist level is the organism which is one living organism. The second level is the population; a population is the same species that live together in a area. The third level is community, a community consists of all population of species that live and interact in the area. The fourth level is ecosystem; an ecosystem is a community of organisms and a biotic environment of the community. Finally the last level is the biosphere is all of the levels. Or is the part of the earth where life exists.



Week 2 April 9, 2009 Brittany Eng

I have learned alot in this one week alone. Mostly from my SNEWS artical "When Yor Body cannot Outfit and Infecuoise Desease Sometimes Your Mind Can" By: Carl Zimmer. taught me that many animals have many ways to try not to get sick. just like a mouse can tell when a male has worms. So she would avoid him so she does'nt get sick as well. Also sheep will not eat by their manure because parisites lay their eggs.

I have also learned alot about cells in this week. just like all cells have DNA. Also Prokaryotes are animal cells. And Eukaryotes are bacteria cells. And we showed that we know this by going to ToonDoo and making 3 charictors. saying interesting facts about hat function in a fun and creative way. By making these charictors it helps us remember alot of what we learned. Because we had fun remembering and learning about the cells.

I have had one question when i was doin my snews. the question i had was people find out all of this stuff about cells. So i was thinking that this was possible because when people died that Dr. cut them open and looked at their body. I am not for sure about this because i thought that when people died their body and all their cells would die off to.
