My Fantasy Habitat

       This week in science we made fantasy habitats for our fantasy animals that we chose. We had to draw what our fantasy habitat looked for our animal and list 3 biotic and 3 abiotic factors with in the habitat. I chose a Bearded Dragon which lives in deserts in Australia. It eats worms and some meats when it gets older.
       This week I learned that the Bearded Dragon signals it wants to mate by a circular hand movement. I also learned that the Bearded Dragon is eaten by an Owl or a Wolf. I learned that Bearded Dragons have spikes to protect them from predators.

This Week in Science (Carrying Capacity and Relationships)

What we did this week in science was play a game called "Oh Deer", where some portion of the class were deer while the other where natural resources they needed to survive, if the deer dont make it to the resource before some one else does. We also did some form of "Match The Cards" on a grid type of game where we had to identify the relationships of the two organisms on the cards with the ecosystems they might belong in. 

This week I learned about different relationships and who benefits off of who for example: Parasitism; when an organism feeds off a host but doesn't kill them so in this relationship the Parasite gets a positive meaning it benefits and the host gets a negative meaning they are hurt. (+/-).
