This Year in Science - 10th grade Intro



Hello my name is Kaitlyn, Something I’m very interested in is art and math. I was never good in science until I decided to  step up and do what I got to  do . This year I’ve grown in science because I do what  I’m told to do, and even if I’m having trouble with something I find a way to understand it.  At the beginning of the year I didn’t really like science but as the year was going by I enjoyed doing experiments and projects like dissecting animals. I didn’t really struggle with anything this year in science. Something I would want the teacher to know about me  is that I’m more of a quiet  person like I’ll sit in my little corner and participate when I feel like I should

 I think if we removed all plants what would happen is there wouldn't  oxygen inside the tank. Which means  the spiders and the fruit flies will die because they need oxygen in order to breathe. The only thing that  would be inside the tank is carbon dioxide  because of the spider and fruit flies is exhaling. So with out the help of the plants in the sealed tank all living things would die.

TWIS #12

What I did was create a Spider Observation Log so I can keep track of things like any changes that happen in my environment, and in the spider observation log I gave a bit of information on the spider and like what it eats, where do they live or be , and also what they need to survive, something else I had to do was sketch my spiders environment in the spider observation log. Another thing I did was I found out the definitions of commensalism, parasitism, and mutalism. The last thing I did was feed the spider with my group.


What I learned was that commensalism is when one organism is benefited and the other isn't affected, parasitism is when one organism gets benefit and the other gets harmed and  mutalism is when both organisms benefits from each other. I also learned that learning these definitions was hard to remember. Something else I learned was when you feed the spider you can't give it to much food. I also learned that when spiders eat the wrap it with their web.
