1. What science ideas did you learn?

This week i learned that we observe and make hypothesis and predictions in everyday life. We learned more about how the disease in the other schools and got some more information. We observed the absency chart and tried to find some patterns. Mr Segen was able to get the class results of interview tables and the calender of school events. These two thinga will help us because we can see if there are any suspicious happenings such as maybe raw meat at a school dinner which we would find on the calender.

2. How did you learn these ideas?

I learned these ideas by listening to other peoples questions and the answers. I also took notes and observed our experiments. I listened in the class disscusions and made sure that I understood everything. I also learned these ideas by observing the data that was on the website for the absencey table of the schools and the illness that was spreading very quickly.

3.Why is it important to know this idea (What real world applacation is there)?


It is important to know this idea because it will help you in real life. We make predictions and hypothesies everyday. For example, if the you think a friend is mad at you, you would automatically make a hypothesis to see if you did anything wrong. In the real world, medical researchers make hypothesis and prediction to see if the new medicine would work.

What I Learned This Week

This week I learned a lot of new things about science. I learned about HD statements and independent/dependent variables. We also did an experiment where we all had a test tube and a pipet. We then traded liquid with other classmates. When we were finished Mr. Finley put a chemical into our test tubes and if it turned red, that means you were infected by the disease, but if it turned green, you weren't infected. We also learned how to make a web to determine who started with the disease. We also answered some questions for homework about diseases and the causes of them and how they spread. Finally, I learned about living and non-living things. We discussed the characteristics of livng organsisms. We also made a list of ten living and ten non-living things.
