This Week in Science #6

   This week in science we research crickets body parts, what they eat, who eats them and more. After we did our cricket investigation we did a data day for crickets. We did also do a activity for dichotomous keys involving classifying shoes into there own categories. We made dichotomous charts and lists for jelly bellies to see how we classified them and decided which flavor was which by observing them (in spots and color). While we were in groups we had to make a dichotomous chart and show how we did it and which style do we prefer ( chart or list).And we had to do our cover page for our new quarter, which had to be colored from end to end and had to have animals on it. We also drew how the crickets looked from the front, side, and top view.
   This week in science we learned how to classify things by using a dichotomous keys and lists. We also learned how to read them. I learned that crickets are obviously more active with the top of the lids off.
I learned that there are also of kinds of jelly bellies and flavors. I also learned that crickets prefer wet environments rather than dry spots; because our research shows that crickets sit on wet spots for a longer period of time than dry environments.
