Post 5: This Week in Science (Carrying Capacity and Relationships)

     This week in science we did a lot. One thing we did was play a game called "Oh Deer!" Unfortunately, I was absent that day. But from what my classmate, Kennedy, told me, the game sounds pretty cool. Kennedy said that they went to the roof to play! We watched video to help us understand our new vocabulary words. Also, we played a card game.

    This week in science I learned new words. I learned what commensalism, parasitism, mutualism, and predator/prey means. Commensalism means one organism benifits while the other one doesn't benifits or mind or get harmed. Parasitism means when  one animal needs another. Mutualism means two organisms helping/trading with each other. Predator/prey means one animal that eats another.

Post 3: This Week in Science (MY FANTASY HABITAT !)

In science the first thing we did was went to www.frbloggin.blogspot.com and chose a animal we wanted to research about. Also we looked up biotic, a biotic, the food they eat, and other information. The next thing we did is we look up picture an drew and colored a picture of our animal.

In science I learned a bunch of stuff. One thing I learned is the definition of the words biotic, a biotic, and biome. Biotic means living things. A biotic means non-living things. And biome means a large area with distinct features (ex/plants and animals)
