TWIS #6

This week in science,we started working with crickets.We started by going online and researching them.We researched what they liked and needed.After researching what they need,we started observing them.We made our testable question Do crickets prefer wet areas rather than dry ones.The crickets that my group and I had spent most of their time on the dry areas of the tank.After working with the crickets we started another group experiment using jelly beans.We used two different dichotomous keys to help us classify jelly beans.A flow-chart style key and a list style key.

My goup and I learned that the flow-chart style key is much easier and simpler than the list style one is.We learned that the flow-chart style is easier because it is more visual.
