TWIS #14

This week in science we worked in groups and talked about about hippo. Hippo stands for a group of scientific words, when people are talking about hippo they aren't actually talking about a hippo.
H- Habitat loss, when people cut down trees their destroying animals homes.
I- Introducing species, new species are introduced.
P- Pollution, gases and people are destroying animals habitats because we're filthy and we liter.
P- Population growth, when theres too many of one species living
O- Over consumption, Humans are using too many products, we'r over using things that we should control what we use.
This week in science i learned what hippo meant. What each letter stands for and its meaning. I learned about different oils and gases. I learned how to work in a group of 4 better, its hard when everyone has different ideas and opinions but its better to have ways of learning how to get along better. I learned that a lot of animals are endangered, and are losing their habitats because of what we're doing to their homes.

This week in science #13


If I were to remove all of the plants in the tank and seal it up the spider would eventually die, because plants go through the process of photosynthesis to produce sugar and oxygen. Spiders need oxygen to breathe and if there are no plants in the tank there would be no oxygen which would kill the spider.
