Previously, we studied the frog life cycle and now we are going to experience and study the fish life cycle. Our Classroom Experiences for the Week
Process Research the following web sites about fuel. http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/sources/renewable/ethanol.html http://www.dieselforum.org/meet-clean-diesel/diesel-kids/ http://www.biodiesel.org/pdf_files/fuelfactsheets/Kids_sheet.pdf http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/sources/non-renewable/gasoline.html http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/sources/IntermediateHydrogen.html Decide which type of fuel that you feel will benefit the environment. Gather your information together that you will need for your poster Create a poster as a visual to describe your fuel and its benefits to the environment. Write a short essay about the fuel and present to the class. Edit our class presentation or PREZI The moon is a mysterious object that can be understood better by exploring the different phases the moon goes through. TAsk 1. Watch a video 2. Particiapte with the interactive lesson 3. Record different moon phases at night for the next two weeks. 4. Create a project showing the different phases of the moon. Go to the interactive website to learn the different phases and orbits the moon takes. http://e-learningforkids.org/Courses/EN/S0801/login.htm
1. Where are fossils found the most? Skylar Joe Ingrid: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/12/081219-top-ten-dinosaurs-fossils.html 2. What kind of dinosaurs were fossilized? Jude Maddie Kacey Jacob: http://www.ehow.com/info_7966288_types-dinosaur-fossils.html 3. Can we tell what dinosaurs eat from their fossils? Grant Riley: http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/opinion/120831/last-meal-fossils-found-china-show-dinosaurs-dinner 4. What type of animals have turned into fossils? Ryder Kailea: http://www.wacona.com/promote/fossils/dinosaur.htma You will be learning about all different types of environments. Let's explore the website below to know how to classify different types of land into environments. http://pbskids.org/eekoworld/index.html?load=environment Can you identify what environment these trees might be from? Tropical rainforests
Year-round high temperatures and abundant rainfall makes this a dense, lush forest. Tropical rainforests are found near the equator. They are vital storehouses of biodiversity on the planet, and yet face severe threat today, with much of their original extent depleted. Sub-tropical forests These are found to the sound and north of the tropical forests. The trees here are adapted to resist the summer drought. Mediterranean forests These forests are found to the south of the temperate regions around the coasts of the Mediterranean, California, Chile and Western Australia. The growing season is short and almost all trees are evergreen, but mixed hardwood and softwood. Temperate forests Found in such places as eastern North America, northeastern Asia, and western and eastern Europe, temperate forests are a mix of deciduous and coniferous evergreen trees. Usually, the broad-leaved hardwood trees shed leaves annually. There are well-defined seasons with a distinct winter and sufficient rainfall. Coniferous forests Coniferous forests inhabit the cold, windy regions around the poles. There are both hardwoods and conifers found in this region. The conifers are evergreen and structurally adapted to withstand the long drought-like conditions of the long winters, whereas the hardwoods are deciduous. Montane forests These are also known as cloud forests because they receive most of their precipitation from the mist or fog that comes up from the lowlands. Some of these montane woodlands and grasslands are found in high-elevation tropical, subtropical and temperate zones. Plants and animals in these forests are adapted to withstanding the cold, wet conditions and intense sunlight. Trees are mainly conifers. Plantation forests There are around 140 million hectares of “plantation forests” in the world, accounting for around 7% of global forest cover. The productivity of planted forests, in terms of supplying a sustainable volume of timber and fibre, is usually greater than natural forests. Plantations produce around 40% of industrial wood. Both the plantation area and contribution to world wood production are projected to continue to increase in the foreseeable future. |
