Week #14 April 12-18
Please use this space to share your reflections of our learnings this week. What are the concepts that we discussed? What are the important vocabulary words that you learned? Are there any topics that we have covered that you are still unsure of?
This week in science we learned about the carbon cycle, and how carbon travels from one place to another. In lab we learned about a chemical that was in our water that was affecting the fish. We learned that eventually what was happening to the fish would happen to us as the amount of the chemical increased as you went up the food chain. For example, when one small fish eats something with the chemical and another bigger fish eats it, that chemical is absorbed by the bigger fish. As the bigger fish continues to eat smaller fish with the chemical the more of that chemical it will have. When we finally eat that fish the chemical could be rather high, and as we continue to eat fish with that chemical it could start to effect us.
This week in class we learned about chemicals and how they can effect the environment and the things in the environment. We learned about a chemical that can change the appearnce and almost the sex of a small minnow. We learned that it mimects estrogen and is given off by a power plant.
This week we learned more about the food chain and how if a chemical gets into one organism low on the food chain, it can impact other organisms that comsume the chemicals. In lab, we learned that if a female hormone is added to a male species, that male might loose some secondary sex characteristics. In the case of the minnows, the characteristics included the tubercles and the height of the pad fat. We also learned about the carbon cycle. Because we are carbon based organisms, our world revolves around the amount of carbon and the consistancy of carbon in our atmosphere.
This week in science we learned alot about the carbon cycle. I was confused at first about how it worked going from one cycle to the next. I am still a little confused but understand it more now. We also learned about the food chain and how chemicals can effect an animal who eats another animal and passes it on. In lab we used minnows to test how a chemical can effect a male minnow. Overtime the chemical did effect the minnow. This is related to the carbon cycle because mostly everything needs or has carbon.
This week I learned that male minnos that live in a contaminated lake over time start to react to the chemical. In the water there was a form of estrogen, the male fish started to get smaller i size and have less nuptial tubercle. They were starting to get woman qualitys.
This week in lab we learned how the things we are putting in the waters effect other species of animals. In discussion in class we searned how carbon is in everything and how we only get a small percentage of protin in what we eat.
This week in science we learned about the carbon cycle. The activity we did on Wednesday showed me how much carbon there is in the biosphere.In lab we learned how certain chemicals humans use can alter an animal species.
This week in science we learned about the effects on minnows when they are infected with estrogen and we also learned more about the carbon cycle. In lab we counted the dots on the face of the minnow which was the nuptial tubricals and we measured the dorsal fin fat which helped understand the sperm count. With the carbon cycle we learned what the carbon goes through to get from on stage of the Earth to another.
This week in science class we learned about how we, humans, have an affect on the biosphere. We learned how when we dump estrogen, a female sex hormone, that the male minnows are affected. The research shows that they have been losing secondary sex charictaristics. This is a big deal because if we are also dumping these chemicals into our drinking water then we could possibly take on the same affects as the minnow. Overall this week we have learned that we have a direct impact in our biosphere and how it operates.
This week in science we learned about the effect humans have on the biosphere. We learned that when water is polluted with estrogen that their secondary sex characteristics are effected. We larned that these effects may be similar in humans and other animals. We learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon moves thorough the boisphere.
This week in science class we learned about the carbon cycle. We learned that carbon can move through the earth in many different ways. One of these ways in photosynethsis, when plants exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. Another one of these ways is when humans burn fossil fuels. This releases extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In lab, we learned about female hormones polluting the water. These hormones give fish secondary sex characteristics that cause them to lose some of their male characteristics. The result of this was that the fish lost body weight and lost some of their nuptial tubercles, which look like spots on their face.
This week in class, I learned about the carbon cycle and what happens when human activity affects the environment. The coolest thing I learned was that when estrogen is added to lakes. It affects the male parts and in turn affects the environment.
This week in science class we learned about carbon dioxide emissions which effect the atmosphere here on earth. The main source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is from burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide traps heat, and the more we have the hotter the planet will get. If we do not reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere soon our planet could experience dangerously high temperatures which could effect the earth in many ways.
This week in class, we learned about the effects of chemicals and what happens when human activity interferes with the environment. The most interesting thing I learned was that when chemicals are added to lakes and other ecosystems. It affects the genetic make up and sexual charateristics of the fish and animals near the affected area.
This week we learned alot about the human impacts on the bio-sphere. We did worksheets that showed how much extra carbon we add to the atmosphere, and how it is causing our planet to heat up. In lab this week we did an expiremenet that showed how the chemical estregen effected a mals fish's dorsal fat pad height and secondary sex charateristics required for mating. We also learned alot about how carbon is tranferred through the bio-sphere and from place to place.
This week in lab we learned about the effect estrogen has on male minnows when it is exposed. The tubercles and the height of the pad fat of the fish changed as the more days he was exposed to it went on. In lecture class we have been learning about the carbon cycle. We went station to station and had to find the right piece of paper that said the right way we got there.
This week in science we have been learned about the carbon cycle. We did a game that you had to figure out how sea plants went to volcanoes and how volcanoes went to plants. It was all very interesting but took a lot of thinking to come to conclusions sometimes. I also learned that everything on Earth is all carbon based. We need carbon but you need to equal it out and burning fossil fuels is one thing that throws off the system. Everything using it, like plants, has to be equal to where it came from.
This week in class we learned about the carbon cyle. In lab we learned about how certain chemicals can affect the traits of an animal species. On Wednesday we did the carbon cycle activity and learned the process in which carbon is transfer from one place to another. I think it helped to write down all the processes and connect them because they are easier to remember.
This week we learned about how carbon is passed from location to location and source to source through the carbon cycle. In lab we learned about the effect hormones have on the oppisite sex.
This week we learned about how the carbon cycle works and how carbon travels through it. We learned about the various ways carbon is released into the atmosphere and how it is taken out of it. We learned about how human activity can affect not only the envorinment but other animals that live in it.
this week we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon traveled through it. We also learned about how humans can affect the enviroment and the carbon cycle. In lab we learned about how chemicals can affect the traits of an animal.
This week we learned a lot about the carbon cycle and how it works. carbon is moved through the atmospher in many diferent ways. in lab we learned that if a male animal is affected with the female sex hormone some crazy stuff will happen to it.
In lab this week we learned how certain things that we put in to our lakes and rivers can effect how animals in that habitat adapt to the circumstances and how that can afect things like reproduction. We also learned a lot more on the carbon cycle in lecture class.
this week in class we learned a lot about the carbon cycle and how it works/moves through our atmosphere. in lab, we learned that contaminated animals can be effected greatly in terms of consquences. in the lab, male fish were exposed to a female growth hormone which controlled some features of the fish such as size, characteristics, as well as reproductive organs and effects.
This week on class we talked about the human's role in the biosphere. We also studied the effects we have in the carbon cycle, and what happens when we interfere too much. In lab, we studied the effects of some waste that contains the female hormone estrogen, and it's effects on the male minnow. I learned that when the fish are introduced to too much if the hormone, they lose their secondary sex organ things. Which can mean that they won't reproduce anymore, causing a major decrease in the tiny fish population, and it can throw off the food Chaim. So pretty much if people continue everything, the food Cain might be completely destroyed.
This week we learned about the carbon cycle in the biosphere. We talked about all of the sources of carbon and where carbon can be stored. Also we learned about how the enviorment keep the carbon equal between input and output.
This week in lab and science we learned about when male minnows come intact with the chemical estrogen, they start to devolpe female traits. We also learned there is that chemical in our waters we drink today.
This week in class, I learned about the carbon cycle and what happens when human activity affects the environment. The coolest thing I learned was how the bio, atmos, hydro, and biosphere all relate. Also in lab we learned how estrogen in the Boulder Creek affected the male parts of a minnow, and in return affects the environment.
This week I was still confused about how carbon moves through the biosphere, but then when I played that game all about carbon moving through different areas, I was less confused. I am now more confident on the carbon cycle and am able to give some examples.
We learned about how carbon travels through the biosphere. We learned that carbon does not leave the biosphere very quickly. We also leaned that humans have a huge effect on the carbon cycle. In lab, we learned about chemicals that are allowed to be in drinking water and how they effect the fish that swim in the water.
In class we learned how carbon can go from place to place. I found it sort of confusing at first but I think I understand how carbon moves pretty good. In lab we looked at male fish and saw how estrogen could effect them.
This week we learned about the carbon cycle as we elaberated on the biosphere. We also focused on the ways that humans interact with the biosphere. I still have no questions pertaining to the biosphere.
In lab we learned how male minnow are getting affected by the female hormone. If too many male fish get this hormone then they will get the secondary characteristics. Then we won't have any more fish to eat.
This week in class we learned about the carbon cyle and each process that takes place in the transfers form one place to another. Some tracnsfers were photosynthesis, combustiona dn respiration. It is pretty remarkable to learn how everything is connected. Also in lab we learned about the effects that estrogen has the secondary sex traits in male minnows.
This week we learned aboutthe different things that carbon is in and how it gets there. Also how humans and animals are involved in realeasing it into the atmosphere. We also learned about the different transfers of the Carbon cycle which were respiration, photosynthesis and combustion.
This week in science we have been learned about the carbon cycle. It was all very interesting but took a lot of thinking to come to conclusions sometimes. I also learned that everything on Earth is all carbon based. We need carbon but you need to equal it out and burning fossil fuels is one thing that throws off the system. Everything using it, like plants, has to be equal to where it came from.
This week in Science we learned about carbon the biosphere. The game we played in class kind of confused me but I think I understand it now. During lab we learned how male minnows reacted to chemical estrogen; they started developing female parts
this week in science i learned about the carbon cycle and how it as recycled in the bio-sphere. the game thing we did in class helped me understand how it works. i also learned about minnows in lab and how if they are exposed to a female hormone they start losing their manly traits and start getting more feminine.
This week we finished up on talking about how carbon dioxide gets into plants, the ocean, and the atmosphere. In lab we learned about how dumping things near water supplies like rivers can affect us and the creatures that live around it. We use the bolder creek as our example and the minnows that live in it. We had to see the changes that male minnows had when exposed to a female growth hormone. We had to see if the fish got skinnier and we saw how many dots we on its face.
This week in science i learned a lot about the carbon cycle. Taking the journey as carbon was an interesting way to learn about the carbon cycle. It was also important to learn the different reasons carbon travels through the cycle. Also, the volcano in Iceland that erupted was a real world application of some of the stuff we learned this year.
This week in lab we performed how male's secondary sex somethings would be changed if they had female hormones, haha! and to demonstrate that! we got to dignose fishies, during this we discovered that at the top there would be none to it just because its obvious that the hormones have not swam up stream, but the 50% was greater, and 100% was the greatest. This relates because the fish outer characteristics changed which can conclude that, that might happen to humans if we performed the same lab.
This week we learned about the affects humans have on the biosphere like our lab this week, discussed. We learned about Bolder Creek and how estrogen or other hormones can change secondary sex characteristics of fish. We also talked about how the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere all relate.
This week we learned how humans can effect the bisphere. And that the biosphere is related to the atmosphere,hydrosphere and the geosphere. And the lab talked about how the female fish hormones can change secondary sex characeristics.
This week we learned about the carbon cylcle. We learned how carbon moves throughout different forms in the biosphere. Such as, volcanoes, humans, animals, plants, and ocean water. Carbon has to do with everything living. We learned how the acts of humans can offset the carbon levels and how it affects us and other organisms in the bioshere.
In class we learned about fish. We learned about how if the estrogen is consintrated in the water then it can effect the fish. They can get bigger dorsal fat pads and dots on the nose.
In class we had to learned about fish and how they get effected by the estrogen in th water. They could get bigger dorsal fat pads and dots on there nose. We also learned about what had happened in Iceland.
this week we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon can cycle through out the atmosphere. We also learned about how humans can affect the biosphere.
In Class and in Lab I learned what happens when male fish are affected by the chemical estrogen. What happens to them they may develop dorsal fat pads on there nose.Also the carbon cycle game we did in lab helped me undersatnd the carbon cycle more.
This week in science class, we continued to learn about the carbon cycle. We learned a lot about how carbon moves and travels from place to place. Some of the ways that carbon moves are by photosynthesis and the burning of fossil fuels. We did an activity where we went around to different stations of places that carbon could travel to and then we had to explain how the carbon would move from other places to that spot. In lab, we learned about and did an experiment about how male minnows are affected by estrogen, a chemical in the water that is a female hormone.
This week we learned more about the carbon cycle. We learned how the carbon cycle is part of the biosphere and how carbon moves through processes such as, photosynthesis and combustion. Also in lab we did an experiment measuring how estrogen, a chemical compose of female hormones, affected male minnows in the water.
This week in lab we learned how estrogen can affect the male fish when exposed to it. We studied how their physical traits were changed over a course of 28 days. and we also learned about the carbon cycle and did a very fun game on how it works and how they all connect to eachother.
This week in class we learned what human activity can do when it interferes with the environment. I learned that we put chemicals into water and the animals there suffer. Lab was about what happens to minnows when they are exposed to these type of chemicals. What we found was that sexondary sex characteristics such as the fat pad and tubercles were effected.
This week we learned about how the carbon cycle works and how carbon travels through it. We learned about the many ways carbon is released into the atmosphere and how it is taken out of it. We learned about how human activity can affect not only the environment but animals that live in it.
This week we leard about how humans impact the carbon cycle. In the lab the fish were exposed to estrogen and was messing up the fish. It showed how the longer the fish was exposed the worse the symptoms were. This is a valuble lessons on why we need to keep our waters clean.
This week in class we learned about how contaminates get into our water sources and how they can harm or affect us and other animals who drink it. In lab we learned about contaminates and how they affected fish characteristics.
this week in class we learned more about the carbon cycle and human impact on water. we learned about the many ways that carbon is released in to the air and taken out of it by playing a "game".
In lab this week we learned about what we are putting into our water that affects certain kinds of fish, and in class we learned about the carbon cycle and how it gets around.
This week, we learned more about the carbon cycle and how carbon moves throughout the earth. We also learned about how human activity is effecting the earth and it's atmosphere. In lab, we learned about the effects of a male minnow coming in contact with a female hormone.
This week we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon is recycled through many different phases. Such as, carbon in the atmosphere, carbon in a volcano, carbon in fresh water, carbon in salt or sea water, and carbon in plants or that are being photosynthesized. We also learned in lab this week on how a female hormone called estrogen effected the sex characteristics of a male fish living in boulder. And how it effected there dorsal fat pad and nuptial tubercle.
This week in science class i we learned about carbon and how it gets around. I also learned that the female hormone called estrogen affected the sex characteristics of male fish in boulder. it affected how they growed. and it was good that scientist tested the fish because if we ate them they could affect us.
In lab this week we learned how contamenents in water can afect aqautic life such as fish. In calss, we studied the trophic level, and carbon cycle. we learned how carbon keeps being used and recicled in all parts of life.
in class we leand about the Corbon Cyle and how it can be found anyweren on the Earth. It can be tracnsfors into Photsynthese, combstona, resphation, numans and animals are involved in realasing it into the atmosphere. if there a contaminantrs in the water it will affect the fish over time.carbon can de found in the atmosphere,volcano, fresh water, salt or sea water, and carbon in plants or that are being photosynthesized.
In class this week we learned about the carbon cycle. We learned that carbon can go anywhere in the world in any form. In lab we looked at male minnows and how they are effected by estrogen. We measured the dorsal fat pad and as the minnow was in the estrogen for a longer time, its dorsal fat pad decreased.
This week we went into detail on carbon and how it travels through the carbon cycle. Carbon comes from the death of animals and plants, animal waste, and the burning of woods and fossil fuels. Combustion, respiration, and deforestation release it into the air, and photosynthesis pulls it back down. Decomposition and sedimentation harden it and turn it into the fossil fuels we use. Diffusion, circulation, and rock formation and weathering cycle it around the earth.
This week we mostly learned about the Carbon Cycle. I n lab we observed the effect on male minnows when exposed to different time periods of estrogen. And we learned about the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano that erupted in Iceland!
This week we learned about how carbon cycles through many different phases to get to another place. Also, we learned about how humans and plants have an effect on how much carbon is released and or added to the atmosphere. We looked at how carbon can get into the atmosphere, the ocean, and other places.
This week we learned about the effect of pollution on wildlife. When production waste chemicals are released into the atmosphere, all forms of life are effected someway. To help preserve wildlife, we must tighten control on what is released into the open. We also learned about the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle recycles all the earth's carbon over and over again in many different ways.
This week in science we learned mostly about the carbon cycle. In class we played a game that helped us understand how carbon got around, or the carbon cycle. In lab we did an experiment that studied the effects of human chemical activity on fish.
This week in science we learned alot about the carbon cycle. We played the carbon cycle game and it showed how carbon is moved through the eath. In lab we studied how chemicals can effect fish in lakes.
This week in class we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon transfers to different organisms. Carbon is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned, then brought back into the ground through photosynthesis. The fossil fuels we use come from the decomposition and hardening of plants.
This week in lab we continued to learn about the carbon cycle and how it can get transfered to other organisms and environments. In lab we studied the effects of an estrogen mimicker on male fish.
we've learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon gets from one place to another. we also talked about estrogen mimickers and how they mutate the fish that are exposed to it
This week we learned about the Carbon Cycle and how it transfers from one place to another. We played the Carbon Cycle game and i didnt really understand it but i still did it. The game was supposed to help us understand how carbon transfers.
This week in science, the classes learned about how the carbon cycle works and how it affects the rest of the ecosystem. We also learned, in lab, about what happend to certain fish when they were exposed to estrogen.
This week we learned about the carbon cycle. We learned how carbon goes to different places such as the atmosphere, limestone, the ocean, and volcanoes. We also learned how adding estrogen to a lake or river impacts the sexual characteristics of fish.
This week in class, we learned about the effects of chemicals and what happens when human activity interferes with the environment. The most interesting thing I learned was that when chemicals are added to lakes and other ecosystems. It affects the genetic make up and sexual charateristics of the fish and animals near the affected area.
This week we learned about what chemicals and do to animals and how they can have sex changes. also we learned how the ecosystem is changing alot over time when humans are exposing new things to the world.
This week in lab we discussed how chemical in the enviroment an effect other organisms around them. Some of the chemicals can be powerful enough to cause sex changes.
This week in class, I learned about how the carbon cycle works and how it affects the rest of the ecosystem. We also learned, in lab, about what happend to certain fish when they were exposed to estrogen. Their secondary sex characteristics were changed and not how they should be.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

ReplyDeleteIn lab we learned how male minnow are getting affected by the female hormone. If too many male fish get this hormone then they will get the secondary characteristics. Then we won't have any more fish to eat.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class we learned about the carbon cyle and each process that takes place in the transfers form one place to another. Some tracnsfers were photosynthesis, combustiona dn respiration. It is pretty remarkable to learn how everything is connected. Also in lab we learned about the effects that estrogen has the secondary sex traits in male minnows.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned aboutthe different things that carbon is in and how it gets there. Also how humans and animals are involved in realeasing it into the atmosphere. We also learned about the different transfers of the Carbon cycle which were respiration, photosynthesis and combustion.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science we have been learned about the carbon cycle. It was all very interesting but took a lot of thinking to come to conclusions sometimes. I also learned that everything on Earth is all carbon based. We need carbon but you need to equal it out and burning fossil fuels is one thing that throws off the system. Everything using it, like plants, has to be equal to where it came from.
ReplyDeleteThis week in Science we learned about carbon the biosphere. The game we played in class kind of confused me but I think I understand it now. During lab we learned how male minnows reacted to chemical estrogen; they started developing female parts
ReplyDeletethis week in science i learned about the carbon cycle and how it as recycled in the bio-sphere. the game thing we did in class helped me understand how it works. i also learned about minnows in lab and how if they are exposed to a female hormone they start losing their manly traits and start getting more feminine.
ReplyDeleteThis week we finished up on talking about how carbon dioxide gets into plants, the ocean, and the atmosphere. In lab we learned about how dumping things near water supplies like rivers can affect us and the creatures that live around it. We use the bolder creek as our example and the minnows that live in it. We had to see the changes that male minnows had when exposed to a female growth hormone. We had to see if the fish got skinnier and we saw how many dots we on its face.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science i learned a lot about the carbon cycle. Taking the journey as carbon was an interesting way to learn about the carbon cycle. It was also important to learn the different reasons carbon travels through the cycle. Also, the volcano in Iceland that erupted was a real world application of some of the stuff we learned this year.
ReplyDeleteThis week in lab we performed how male's secondary sex somethings would be changed if they had female hormones, haha! and to demonstrate that! we got to dignose fishies, during this we discovered that at the top there would be none to it just because its obvious that the hormones have not swam up stream, but the 50% was greater, and 100% was the greatest. This relates because the fish outer characteristics changed which can conclude that, that might happen to humans if we performed the same lab.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the carbon cycle and how hormones in the water supply affects fishes secondary sex characteristics.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the affects humans have on the biosphere like our lab this week, discussed. We learned about Bolder Creek and how estrogen or other hormones can change secondary sex characteristics
ReplyDeleteof fish. We also talked about how the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere all relate.
This week we learned how humans can effect the bisphere. And that the biosphere is related to the atmosphere,hydrosphere and the geosphere. And the lab talked about how the female fish hormones can change secondary sex characeristics.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the carbon cylcle. We learned how carbon moves throughout different forms in the biosphere. Such as, volcanoes, humans, animals, plants, and ocean water. Carbon has to do with everything living. We learned how the acts of humans can offset the carbon levels and how it affects us and other organisms in the bioshere.
ReplyDeleteIn class we learned about fish. We learned about how if the estrogen is consintrated in the water then it can effect the fish. They can get bigger dorsal fat pads and dots on the nose.
ReplyDeleteIn class we had to learned about fish and how they get effected by the estrogen in th water. They could get bigger dorsal fat pads and dots on there nose. We also learned about what had happened in Iceland.
ReplyDeletethis week we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon can cycle through out the atmosphere. We also learned about how humans can affect the biosphere.
ReplyDeleteIn Class and in Lab I learned what happens when male fish are affected by the chemical estrogen. What happens to them they may develop dorsal fat pads on there nose.Also the carbon cycle game we did in lab helped me undersatnd the carbon cycle more.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science class, we continued to learn about the carbon cycle. We learned a lot about how carbon moves and travels from place to place. Some of the ways that carbon moves are by photosynthesis and the burning of fossil fuels. We did an activity where we went around to different stations of places that carbon could travel to and then we had to explain how the carbon would move from other places to that spot. In lab, we learned about and did an experiment about how male minnows are affected by estrogen, a chemical in the water that is a female hormone.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned more about the carbon cycle. We learned how the carbon cycle is part of the biosphere and how carbon moves through processes such as, photosynthesis and combustion. Also in lab we did an experiment measuring how estrogen, a chemical compose of female hormones, affected male minnows in the water.
ReplyDeleteThis week in lab we learned how estrogen can affect the male fish when exposed to it. We studied how their physical traits were changed over a course of 28 days. and we also learned about the carbon cycle and did a very fun game on how it works and how they all connect to eachother.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class we learned what human activity can do when it interferes with the environment. I learned that we put chemicals into water and the animals there suffer. Lab was about what happens to minnows when they are exposed to these type of chemicals. What we found was that sexondary sex characteristics such as the fat pad and tubercles were effected.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about how the carbon cycle works and how carbon travels through it. We learned about the many ways carbon is released into the atmosphere and how it is taken out of it. We learned about how human activity can affect not only the environment but animals that live in it.
ReplyDeleteThis week we leard about how humans impact the carbon cycle. In the lab the fish were exposed to estrogen and was messing up the fish. It showed how the longer the fish was exposed the worse the symptoms were. This is a valuble lessons on why we need to keep our waters clean.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class we learned about how contaminates get into our water sources and how they can harm or affect us and other animals who drink it. In lab we learned about contaminates and how they affected fish characteristics.
ReplyDeletethis week in class we learned more about the carbon cycle and human impact on water. we learned about the many ways that carbon is released in to the air and taken out of it by playing a "game".
ReplyDeleteIn lab this week we learned about what we are putting into our water that affects certain kinds of fish, and in class we learned about the carbon cycle and how it gets around.
ReplyDeleteThis week, we learned more about the carbon cycle and how carbon moves throughout the earth. We also learned about how human activity is effecting the earth and it's atmosphere. In lab, we learned about the effects of a male minnow coming in contact with a female hormone.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon is recycled through many different phases. Such as, carbon in the atmosphere, carbon in a volcano, carbon in fresh water, carbon in salt or sea water, and carbon in plants or that are being photosynthesized. We also learned in lab this week on how a female hormone called estrogen effected the sex characteristics of a male fish living in boulder. And how it effected there dorsal fat pad and nuptial tubercle.
ReplyDeletethis previous week in science we discussed the carbon cycle. In lab we learned about how the contaminants in water affect fish.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science class i we learned about carbon and how it gets around. I also learned that the female hormone called estrogen affected the sex characteristics of male fish in boulder. it affected how they growed. and it was good that scientist tested the fish because if we ate them they could affect us.
ReplyDeleteIn lab this week we learned how contamenents in water can afect aqautic life such as fish. In calss, we studied the trophic level, and carbon cycle. we learned how carbon keeps being used and recicled in all parts of life.
ReplyDeletein class we leand about the Corbon Cyle and how it can be found anyweren on the Earth. It can be tracnsfors into Photsynthese, combstona, resphation, numans and animals are involved in realasing it into the atmosphere. if there a contaminantrs in the water it will affect the fish over time.carbon can de found in the atmosphere,volcano, fresh water, salt or sea water, and carbon in plants or that are being photosynthesized.
ReplyDeleteIn class this week we learned about the carbon cycle. We learned that carbon can go anywhere in the world in any form. In lab we looked at male minnows and how they are effected by estrogen. We measured the dorsal fat pad and as the minnow was in the estrogen for a longer time, its dorsal fat pad decreased.
ReplyDeleteThis week we went into detail on carbon and how it travels through the carbon cycle. Carbon comes from the death of animals and plants, animal waste, and the burning of woods and fossil fuels. Combustion, respiration, and deforestation release it into the air, and photosynthesis pulls it back down. Decomposition and sedimentation harden it and turn it into the fossil fuels we use. Diffusion, circulation, and rock formation and weathering cycle it around the earth.

ReplyDeleteThis week we mostly learned about the Carbon Cycle. I n lab we observed the effect on male minnows when exposed to different time periods of estrogen. And we learned about the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano that erupted in Iceland!
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about how carbon cycles through many different phases to get to another place. Also, we learned about how humans and plants have an effect on how much carbon is released and or added to the atmosphere. We looked at how carbon can get into the atmosphere, the ocean, and other places.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the effect of pollution on wildlife. When production waste chemicals are released into the atmosphere, all forms of life are effected someway. To help preserve wildlife, we must tighten control on what is released into the open. We also learned about the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle recycles all the earth's carbon over and over again in many different ways.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science we learned mostly about the carbon cycle. In class we played a game that helped us understand how carbon got around, or the carbon cycle. In lab we did an experiment that studied the effects of human chemical activity on fish.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science we learned alot about the carbon cycle. We played the carbon cycle game and it showed how carbon is moved through the eath. In lab we studied how chemicals can effect fish in lakes.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class we learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon transfers to different organisms. Carbon is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned, then brought back into the ground through photosynthesis. The fossil fuels we use come from the decomposition and hardening of plants.
ReplyDeleteThis week in lab we continued to learn about the carbon cycle and how it can get transfered to other organisms and environments. In lab we studied the effects of an estrogen mimicker on male fish.
ReplyDeletewe've learned about the carbon cycle and how carbon gets from one place to another. we also talked about estrogen mimickers and how they mutate the fish that are exposed to it
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the carbon cycle. We also learned how our carelessness effects the creatures and environment around us.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the Carbon Cycle and how it transfers from one place to another. We played the Carbon Cycle game and i didnt really understand it but i still did it. The game was supposed to help us understand how carbon transfers.
ReplyDeleteThis week in science, the classes learned about how the carbon cycle works and how it affects the rest of the ecosystem. We also learned, in lab, about what happend to certain fish when they were exposed to estrogen.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about the carbon cycle. We learned how carbon goes to different places such as the atmosphere, limestone, the ocean, and volcanoes. We also learned how adding estrogen to a lake or river impacts the sexual characteristics of fish.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class, we learned about the effects of chemicals and what happens when human activity interferes with the environment. The most interesting thing I learned was that when chemicals are added to lakes and other ecosystems. It affects the genetic make up and sexual charateristics of the fish and animals near the affected area.
ReplyDeleteThis week we learned about what chemicals and do to animals and how they can have sex changes. also we learned how the ecosystem is changing alot over time when humans are exposing new things to the world.
ReplyDeleteThis week in lab we discussed how chemical in the enviroment an effect other organisms around them. Some of the chemicals can be powerful enough to cause sex changes.
ReplyDeleteThis week in class, I learned about how the carbon cycle works and how it affects the rest of the ecosystem. We also learned, in lab, about what happend to certain fish when they were exposed to estrogen. Their secondary sex characteristics were changed and not how they should be.
