TWIS#11

     This week in science my class and I defined words around the room and learned that we were going to be studying ecosystems for the new quarter.This week I also got a new seat and began to start the project with my new group.First we planned out what our ecosystem woud be needing.We made a list of all the things we thought would make a perfect edition to our ecosystem.After sorting everything out,we began to draw a sketch of what our ecostystem would look like.The next day my class went to the park to start gathering all of our materials such as grass, leaves, bugs/worms, etc.

     This week I learned about cellar spiders(the animal that would be living inside of my ecosystem).I learned what the spider looks like and how it works/functions.Researching the cellar spider made me aware of all the things my tank(ecosystem) would need to have in order to help my spider stay alive.I also learned everything that an ecosystem consist of and needs to have.
