1. What science ideas did you learn?
This week i learned about respiration and photsynthesis. I learned the repiration process has to even out the amounts of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen. I learned that we dont breathe out oxygen, but we do breathe out carbon. We breathe in water and oxygen.
2.How did you learn these ideas?
I learned these ideas by making flow charts. We made a flow chart for respiration and photosynthesis. We researched a little bit about photosynthesis and respiration, but not that much. We learned about making the amounts of gases in respiration equal by doing this experiment with chairs and trees. We learned about breathing in water and oxygen by having class disscusions. We learned abou t breathing out carbon and not oxygen by doing an experiment.
3. How is this idea helpful?
These ideas are helpful because now that we know more about photosynthesis and respiration, we can make better conclusions, hypothesis, and predictions. It is helpful to know about having equal amounts of the gases and everything because we can understand respiration much better.

1. What science ideas did you learn?
The science ideas I learned this week are plant and animal cells. We learned about the organelles in them and we also learned about paramecium. We also learned about paramecium and how they move. We also saw a real paramecium with a microscope.
2. How did you learn these ideas?
I learned these ideas by doing experiments with the paramecium and also by researching. We also looked at diagrams to learn about the animal and plant cells and what organelles were in them. Our class also made a diagram for a plant cell, animal cell, and bacteria cell.
3. Why is it important to learn these ideas?
It is important to learn these ideas because if we see a cell in a microscope it would be really helpful to know if it was a plant cell, animal cell, or bacteria cell. It is helpful to know about paramecium and how they move because if we see something like that in a microscope we can identify that it is a paramecium.

1. What science ideas did you learn?
This week I learned about plant cells and animal cells. I learned the names of all the organelles in these cells and what they look like. I also learned the function of these cells. We also learned what a paramecium was. We confirmed that it was in the group of an animal cell. I learned that paramecium has cilia on the outside of it and that's what makes it move.
2. How did you learn these ideas?
I learned these ideas by doing a lot of research for homework. We were assigned to look up what plat and animal cells were and what the organelles in them were called. We learned about paramecium by researching and today we looked at lake water from Lake Suprise and through the microscopes we saw actual paramecium. I thought it was really cool to see an actual paramecium cell and to be able to see it move. We also saw it eat on leaves that were also contained in the microscope. I think being able to actually see the real paramecium in ation helped me understand it a little more. We learned the plant and animal cells by going up to the smartboard and labeling the organelles.
3. Why is it important to know these ideas?
It is important to know these ideas because it will help us in future experiments. Also today we took a quiz on the plant and animal cells and it helped to know which organelles were which. It is important to know about paramecium because even though it is only one example of an animal cell, it helps us understand animal cells a little bit more when we see an animal cell in real life.

1.What science ideas did you learn?
I learned about the cells in potatos and grass. I learned that the metholine and the lugol helped you see different parts of the cells. I I also learned a lot about plant cells and animal cells. I learned all the different parts of the plant and animal cells and that they share some of the same parts such as the nucleus. We also learned about what types of cells were contained in on the inside of our cheeks.
2.How did you learn these ideas?
I learned these ideas by doing experiments. For the potato and grass experiments we put potato and water under a microscope,potato and metholine,potato and lugol, and grass. We then looked and saw the differernt cells. The metholine and the lugol helped us see the different cells. We learned about plant and animal cells by going up to the smart board and labeling a plant cell and an animal cell. We learned what cells are on the inside of our cheeks by rubbing a toothpick on our inside part of our cheek and then rubbing it on a slide and then observing it under a microscope.
3.Why is it important to know these ideas?
It is important to know these ideas because it is helpful to see what metholine and lugol do to help you see different cells. It is important to know about the different parts of plants and animal cells because you can compare it with other cells and if you didn't knwo the names of the parts and you thought that you discovered something about that cell, you wouldn't be able to ask a classmate what they thought it was because you wouldn't understand each other. It is important to know about cheek cells because again it could help us with the experiments we have to do because we might see the same thing in one experiment that we saw in the cheek cell experiment.
