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. (+/-).

This Week in Science

In this picture we're holding "Steve's"( our frog ) fat bodies open & us removing his liver. I chose this picture to show some things we took out from him.

This shows "Steve's" testis being removed. I chose this picture because it shows some of the procedures we took to remove his insides.

This is "Steve's" mouth open, and his shrunken tongue, I chose this picture because it gives a clear view of what its mouth looks like open, but also what the frogs tongue looks like when the frog has died.

This shows "Steve's" insides, his stomach, liver, and small intestines. I chose this picture because it shows "Steve's" insides clearly

This is mostly everything we took out of "Steve" his lounges, large intestines, testis, stomach etc. I chose this picture because this was the everything our frogs body.





This week in science we dissected a frog and identify the parts of their body. We took out the organs and saw which one connected to the other for example the stomach and the liver are together. We also noticed that the frogs tongue had shrunken.


We learned ho w to tell wether or not the frog is a female or male, we also learned how frogs mate and reproduce.  We learned identify the organ names and why certain parts are located where, also how they work with other organ.                                                                             

First Impressions

Frogs have never interested me so basically I have no interest in them. I guess the anatomy of a frog is very similar to a humans but I doubt their hearts and brains are the same, I imagine the frogs stomach intestines are the same as ours. I have never had any experiences with frogs but I've heard some are poisonous, I think most live in the carribean areas like Costa Rica. Blogs aren't really something I'm all about I have never used one but I look forward to it.
