6 Characteristic of Living Things
|
In my science class, one of my favorite activity is Glogster. It is simple once you know how to use it. It is a creative website I used to do an assignment. Glogster is a page I used to create the assignment below. All I have to do is write a few sentence about the topic and upload a picture or video that reveals the topic. You can use all kinds of captions and creative way to decorate your Glogster.
My reflection about Glogster is that it is a creative way to learn and is not complicated to learn how to use it. Even though I learn to use Glogster for creative projects it is still sometimes hard. A connection I have about Glogster is it's similar to an assignment I have in first grade because my class would go to the library to use the computers. Then we draw a picture and write about it and print it out. For Glogster we only had to type and upload images. To create this project I already learned what six characteristic made up a living cell. Some difference is that we do not print out Glogster, and it is a graded assignment. During first grade the drawing and writing aren't graded, but is for fun. However, some of my tools were the science textbooks and google images. |
Edible Cell Project
This is my edible cell project. It is a project we do at the end of learning about cells, and we used this project to wrap things up. As you can see, our group label what organelles each part is. Firstly we put our information on how to make the cake and then make a sketch of it and turn it in to the teacher. Then on the day we work on it, the teacher timed us for only 20 minutes to finish instructing and then came around and ask questions of the organelles.
My reflection on this project was that it reminds me of when I was in kindergarten and the class was making green eggs and ham after reading Dr. Seuss. The connection was that we used baking soda, green egg coloring, egg, ham, and more ingredients. Now it is just different because our's already cooked and all we have to do is to put everything in the cake. Tools I used were some of my method I used during cooking with my mom. Also, it is the ingredients too. I think this wasn't a very important lesson or project because to be able to make the cake, everyone has to know all the organelles. Also, we have already saw many pictures of the inside of a cell. Therefore, we already knew the organelles before we started this project. |
My Paper Pet Family
The paper pet family I made in my science class was an experiment to learn about the genotypes and phenotypes of things. In other words, the gene and looks or outcomes of things. In the paper pet family I with my partner and had a mother and a father, two boys, and four girls.
First we do the genotype and phenotype of the parents. My partner chose to be a male and chose to be a female. Next we name them and then we flip a coin the see if what genotype are they. After repeating that many times to finish up all the genotypes, we draw the phenotype on a figure that looks like it and copy the genotype that we did on a separate piece of chart paper. Next we use a coin to figure out the gender of each of the six children. Then we chose the name and copy the genotype from the piece of chart to the figure. Next we draw the genotype for each of the children and tape the family onto a paper. From this experiment I learned how the traits of children are passed on and how likely traits are to appear. I also learned how traits are passed on. I think this is a very effective project because it helped me remember of how the traits can be pass on. Also, if it is likely, unlikely, or impossible. |
