This Week In Science #13

This is a picture of my cellar spider's habitat.

     
B) If I added five more spiders in Charlie's habitat in the tank I think that only one would survive depending on how territorial each spider is. The plants in the tank will continue making their own food with their photosynthesis producing oxygen and making glucose, but eventually everything will die if we don't water the tank every once in a while. But without the solar energy from the sun  the plants will die and the habitat for all the spiders will come to a cease. And without carbon dioxide from us the plants will not survive.

This Week In Science #12

     This week in science I did some cool things. I fed my cellar spider, whose name is Charlie. I'm not going to lie it was a little scary because I was expecting for it to try to get out the tank while the top of the tank was off, but it didn't. I also made a observation log for my cellar spider Charlie. I made a "cute" cover page for it and it's awesome. And I also did research for the cellar spider to put on the pages in the booklet like facts and details. My partner Jasmine didn't do  anything this week because she wasn't here all this week but she would of been productive one would think. And my other partner Ryan did do a great job of helping me find some answers to put in my little booklet.
     This week in science I learned some things and also refreshed and clarified some things. But this week I learned what cellar spiders eat, where you may find them and why there webs don't need to be biotic because its a lot of it. And I learned how to set up a booklet, what colors I can use for my cover page to make it pop and that drawing a spider isn't as easy as you think. I learned that a decrease in the population of any part of the food chain can interrupt or destroy an entire ecosystem. I also learned that cellar spiders don't have any predators because they try to avoid any. From making my booklet and researching more details and important data I learned that this booklet can help me renew Charlie's (my cellar spider) habitat and make him survive longer. I learned that my partner Ryan is nice, cool and a good partner to work with if you want to get your work done.
