Post 8: This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 1)

This week in science what i DID was saw fruit flies in a little jar. There was larvas in there , there was pupas in there. Also i came for office hours and put the flies to sleep ; but they never woke up :'( R.I.P fruit flies.

     im going to wait and see if they wake up if they dont ; thats the end of them :(

           What i learned this week in science was that when female and male mate the males sperm always stay inside the female so the female doesnt have to mate anymore because all her eggs would be fertilized. Also that when female fruit flies lay their eggs , their eggs hatch the next day, & turns in to a larva . the larva turn in to a pupa & the pupa take 6 days to hatch . i also learned that the way you find out if the fly is amle or female is by the ting the have on the end of their tail. and the female fly lays 20 eggs a day , which is 7300 eggs in a year

Post 7: This Week in Science (Ecosystems)

               This week in science , My teammates and I drew a map of our terrarium.We checked the differences in our terrarium. plants are starting to grow in our terrarium.Some of our organisms are dying in our terrarium and some are still living. Moss is starting to grow in our terrarium.

                           This is a spider dysdera crocata , me and my teamates found this spider and put it in our terrarium.
                This week what i learned was , that in my terrarium we have a cellar spider. Also a spider that i have never heard about which is named ,spider dysdera crocata. I also learned that slugs move slower then snails.

                          This is a picture of my group and i's terrerium ( its not so GOOD but you can see a SLUG ) :D
              some questions that i have are , how do you know if the slug is female or male? what the insects eat in the terrarium? how do they breath with no air ?

Post 6: This Week in Science

             This week in science me and my group made our habitat for our spider . We had to draw everything the spider would need . We had to draw our spider and how they would live in their habitat. We alo had to draw our habitat from front view , and from top view.

        This week in science i learned that if i put saran wrap over the tank with no holes , all i have to do for my spider to continue to survive is put a little tree , some bushes. Also some pebbles. i always learned that spiders eat small insects and other spiders trap  . The way they catch their food is they make a web and leave it there so when any insect goes to the web they wrap the insect and eat them , or save it for later.
