I think that temperate climate plant fossils are found in Antarctica because since fossils can be found in any places maybe plant fossils can be found there. I also think that temperate climate plant fossils are found in Antarctica because maybe plants that grow in the cold were once a land of greenness I also think that plant fossils were found in Antarctica because maybe before the coldness cam, it was a land of green grass and maybe it wasn't cold back.
Fossils are types of rock that used to live millions of years ago. For example, there can be fossils of dinosaurs, plants, animals that we don't know about, or maybe a tooth of an animal that lived millions of years ago. Scientists and geologists have found many fossils that used to live on Earth. For example, geologists found fossils of dinosaurs and put it at a museum. Also scientists can maybe determine when the dinosaur lived and how it lived. They can do this by doing research and looking at the fossil closely. This is why temperate climate plant fossils were found in Antarctica.
Quizlet is a browser where you can study your vocabulary words and make your own set of vocabulary words for any class you need it for. Quizlet is very fun. There are many games and you can also do tests to test yourself. In Quizlet, there is a game called scatter. Scatter is where there are words and definitions mixed together and you have to pair them up until the time goes off. It is very fun to play, but at the same time it is very challenging. Another game you can play to study your vocabulary words is space race. Space race is where the definition passes by fast and you have to type in the correct vocabulary word. The last way you can study your vocabulary words on Quizlet is to do the test. You first have to study the vocabulary words then you do a test on what you already know. It is challenging, but if you studied enough it will be easy. At the end of the test it gives you a score and you can see what mistakes you made.
I like Quizlet because it gives you the freedom to study the set of vocabulary you need to study. I also like Quizlet because there are many ways to study it. It doesn't just give you one boring option, but many. As I showed you in the first paragraph, there are many ways to study. I also like Quizlet because it challenges me to study more and geta good grade on the practice test. I also like it because I had to study for the science test and the vocabulary words were hard, so what I did was to go to Quizlet, study, and be ready for tomorrow. The next day after the test, I discovered that I got 100% on the part of the vocabulary.
I think that Quizlet is helpful because it can help you study more for your tests and you can make your own definitions that will help you study the best. I also think that it is helpful because when you go on Quizlet the sets you made are still there and you can study them. It is also helpful because you can go back and you can edit it if you want to change something. These were reasons why I think that Quizlet is helpful, why I like it, and if it helps me.
Charles went on a voyage to discover and make theories. He also discovered many animals and made the theory of evolution and natural selection. Evolution is when animals change over time by their characteristics. Natural selection is when something also changes but in a different way. Charles traveled all over the world to see if his theories were true. Then after he got evidence he now knew how these two things worked. He traveled and found that the animals change over time and look different over time. He also discovered when two parents do offspring, the offspring gets characteristics from both of their parents.
He also discovered that natural selection works when new animals come and adapt to its environment Natural selection was the one that Charles didn't get still, so he kept on looking. He traveled a lot and found the answer to natural selection. He discovered that natural selection is when an animal adapts to its environment when it is knew to the place. For examples, the peppered moths were light, but when the factories were built the moths got used to the environment and lived there without any problem. The black moths got used to the place that they could not survive in the light forest. This was all about Darwin's voyage.
The Grand Canyon demonstrates cross-cutting by the layers of rock it has. Cross-cutting is the geology of rock formation and the Grand Canyon has rock all over to observe. Also the Grand Canyon demonstrates cross-cutting because geologists can observe the types of rock the Grand Canyon has and how the rock forms and when it can't form at all. The Grand Canyon can also demonstrate cross-cutting because the Grand Canyon has many cracks and can be observed of how they formed. Also the Grand Canyon demonstrates cross-cutting by the type of rock it has and can be observed by people who are studying the formation of rock.
The Grand Canyon demonstrates superposition by its size. Superposition is the deposition of one geological stratum on another. Also the Grand Canyon demonstrates superposition because the Grand Canyon can get bigger by the formation of the rock it has. The Grand Canyon moves by the earth plates that move and that is how superposition comes in. When the earth's plates move, the Grand Canyon splits up and superposition comes in. These were examples about how the grand Canyon demonstrates superposition and crosscutting.
First of all, peppered moths changed color in England because of the factories people built. Because of the factories smoke came out and the peppered moths changed color. Also the factories made the peppered moths to change color because of the pollution the factories made and got out. Since the peppered moths got used to the pollution in the dark forests, the dark moths couldn't be in a forest that was not polluted. The peppered moths also changed color because of the DNA the parents passed to offspring. Since all of the moths can't be the same color then the parents passed on traits.
The peppered moths also changed color because of the evolution. At first the moths were this color, then when they were growing, the moths began to change color. Also the peppered moths in the light forests did not change color because they didn't live ina place where there were factories or the pollution. So the light colored moths did'nt change color because they lived in light forests. If you put a dark moth in a light forest, it would not adapt to the clean forest. If you put a light moth in a dark forests then the moth would not survive because it is not used to the environment in the dark forests, That is why peppered moths changed color.
Evolution is when an animal changes over time and changes its instincts. I think that over population leads to evolution because for example peppered moths are light and dark. The light moths live in light forests and dark moths live in dark forests. Why do you think they call the forest dark? Well first of peppered moths are found in England and in England people built factories. The factories had to be run by coal. So when the smoke gets out, the trees from the forest get dark too. The trees get dark too because the factories are polluting the air. So when the peppered moths go and fly out the pollution of the smoke got on the moth and the moth turned black. Also, the population leads to evolution because the factories that were built in England were polluting the forests, the forests got dark and barren, and the moths got polluted too. The dark moths got used to the pollution that the dark moths can't live in light forests, and the light moths got used to the clean air that they can't live in dark forests.
I learned all of this in science. We were doing a project and you had to go to a website where it gave facts about the peppered moths. It had sections and it was in order. it gave facts about peppered moths, where they lived, how they looked like, and how they lived. This was a bit of information and what I learned about evolution.
In science we did a project of a paper pet family. The first thing we had to do was to do the Punnett Squares for the parents which was the person sitting next to you. After we have found the genotypes we had to flip a penny to find out how our children will look like. The curve sign was a girl and the straight line was a boy. When we flipped the coin, if it landed on heads the genotype for one of the phenotypes would be a uppercase letter. If the coin landed on tails the genotype would be a lowercase letter. When you have all of your phenotypes for the children, you had to name your children. If it had the curve it was a girl and if it was a straight line it would be a boy. The uppercase letter is the dominant allele and the small letter is the recessive allele. After you have named all of your children then you would get a white piece of paper and put the parents and the children on the paper. By the way, we had to draw the face of the parents and the children.
The project didn't relate much to my family because the phenotypes of the children and the parents were round eyes vs square eyes, pointed teeth vs square teeth, and other phenotypes. I learned how to find the genotypes of the children to compare the genotypes of the parents. I also learned how to use the Punnett Squares and how to fill them out and how to get all of the phenotypes. I also learned how to do the heads/tails to get the genotype of the kids. That is what I did and learned about the paper pet family.
First of all Punnett Squares are charts that help you find the frist generation of the children the parents might have. You use Punnett Squares by putting the genotype of both parents. For example, if the genotype of one parent is Tt that means that it is going to be a dominant allele and if the other parent is tt it means that it is a recessive allele. If one parent has curly hair, cc, and the other parents has straight hair and is heterozygous its genotype is going to be Cc. So you put it on the chart which goes one parent on the top side and the other on the side of the square. Then you are going to cross them which all the genotypes for the children is Cc, Cc, cc, and cc. That means that 50% of the children have curly hair and the other half have straight hair. The straight and curly hair are the phenotypes which are the physical appearance of someone.
Punnett squares are useful because when you want to figure out how the children are going to look like you can use the Punnett Squares to help. The Punnett Squares can also help you because for example you want to know what percent the child will have dark eyes. So you can draw the Punnett Square, put the parent's genotypes on the top and on the bottom, then you would cross the genotypes and there you have it, the phenotype of the child is there. That is what I learned about Punnett Squares.
In science, we made a DNA ornament. There were many steps to make the ornament. The first step in making the ornament was to get all the stuff we needed to make the ornament. We needed green, red, yellow, blue, gold, and white beads. The red and the green beads were one of the base pairs and the blue and yellow beads were the other base pairs. The red beads were the adenine, the green beads were the thymine, the blue beads were the guanine, and the yellow beads were the cytosine. The golden and white beads represented the sugars and phosphates. the golden one was the phosphate and the white one was the sugar. Then we had to get a wire, so we can start the ornament.
The second step of making the ornament was to get the phosphate and the sugars and put it in the wire. We had to follow a pattern to make the ornament. The pattern was golden bead, then the white bead, and then one of the base pairs. That was we had to do in every step. The third step was to put one side of the wire in all of the golden beads and on the other side the same. After we have put both wires on all of the golden beads, we had to put the remaining wire through the white and base color bead. Finally, the teacher had to make a hole at the top and then twist it. These were the steps on making the DNA ornament.
The thing that I struggled on the most in science was memorizing the parts of the plant and animal cells. That was hard for me because we had to memorize every single part of the cells and on the test we had to name all of them and what their function was. Also we had to name the parts so we could get a good grade. By studying I managed to pass the naming part and the function part. At first it was hard because I didn't learn that in the sixth grade. So it was new to me and a little hard at first, but managed to study them and get 100% on the test. We also had to state what each part did.
Another thing that was hard for me was to memorize the parts and the functions of each part of a microscope. It was hard because I haven't seen a microscope in real life, so it was interesting to learn new things. Also on the test we had about that, I got 99% because I only missed one. We had to study the parts and where they were. We also had to state what was the function of each part of the microscope. Only by studying i got the grade that I am happy with. These were the things that I struggled on science last semester
