No Impact Man

 No impact man project was a year long project that came about on a family of a writer because he wanted to change his way of writing. Colin Beoven project was an attempt to save the earth. Him and his family which contained his wife and his 2 year old daughter. His wife found this project to help her by getting control of her addiction, which is shopping. They were to stop regular modren day activities such as eating out, no transpiration beside an chemical free scoter, only local grown foods and making less trash. No impact man ivied life for a year on reducing, reusing and recycling.
  Colin and his family being able to have no transpertaion beside and scoter to help the earth because of the harmful chemicals thats released in the earth while on a train,busses and planes.This makes the air that we breathe less hass to breathe in.While watching the film Colin introdudced that he is only to feed off local  foods, that means food within 250 miles from his house. They also used whole sale fresh maekets.
 

This Week In Science ( Fruit File DYO Part 1 )

  This week in science we were to begin our DYO on the fruit file. We had worked on it this week by moving around in groups to sections that David, Melissa and Alyssa managed. The groups were setup by the different things that was required in the DYO so that we would have a better understanding.

   I learned new ways to determined the graph that i needed. Such as the line graph show change and and bar graph is to compare.

Fruit Files ( Part2 )

  This week in science we were to continue our work on the fruit files  problem and our spider habitat. As The week started off we finally received our spiders, the spider was way different then i expected. i pictured an black ugly spider but we got an light color and medium size spider, which didn't seem to like its new home because it died the next day. We also organize the little habitats where our fruit files will be able to lay eggs, we placed two females and one male fruit file and hypothesis that over 200 new fruit files will be layed.
   This week I learned how the fruit file systems work. They are able to store sperm from the male and are able to lay eggs until their death. from that one time mating, also ....

This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 1)

       This week in science we were to observer our terrarium to take notes for the new things that have occurred over break. We also were given information to help us solve the problem of reproduction of fruit flies. David and the other teachers helped us with an helpful way of taking organized notes on the looks of out terrarium. This help us notice more then just some appearances changes. Beginning to solve the fruit file project was really fun, because I was able to show case my knowledge and hear what others though of it.
     I have gained new information from this week about taking new forms of notes. Also I learned that female fruit files only need to mate once for it to be able to lay eggs off that one male sperm for the rest of its life.
