YAY THAT'S RIGHT SCIENCE FAIR TIME

                                                  Whats Up Graphic #33
Hey and you see that amazing hey sign up there CLICK HERE to go to the website.So at my school (Shreiner Academy)  we are having the science fair. My project is amazing.At least that's what I think. My science fair project was exposure if baby food and the degree if contamination. I just called it " Growth Spurt ". Well let's move on into science time. Here is what I am going to talk about.

  •  What was my attitude going into the science fair? Was this my first science  fair or did I have experience going into this one?
  • Why did I choose this topic?
           
  • What was involved in putting my project together? What was easy? What was difficult?   I am going  write about the highs and lows in putting my project together and  some  things  that I learned. 
  • In the end, did I feel proud of my  project and how I  presented it? Did my outlook on the science fair change from the attitude I had at the beginning? Looking back, what was something I was  proud of and something I would have done differently?





Well, I guess my attitude was really great doing the whole science fair. When  I went up there to present I felt confident in myself and that I can do it. I thought I could do anything.

Okay, now to the fun part about my blog. THE INFORMATION!Oh yeah, let me talk about it.Well my project always has to with getting the materials.
 


 
CLICK HERE 
  • 9 petri dishes prepared with blood agar (Blood Agar- A nutrient culture medium that is enriched with whole blood and used for the growth of certain strains of bacteria.)
  • 3 bottles of chicken and gravy baby food
  • 3 bottles of sweet carrots baby food
  • 3 bottles of applesauce  baby food
  • A refrigerator
  • 9 sterile cotton buds
  • 1 permanent marker pen
Okay so after I was done getting my materials, I did my project. First, I left out one of each of the baby food out for 30 minutes.Then another for 1 hour and one more for  2 hours. After that, I put the pairs of baby food in the refrigerator for  24 hours. Then after 4 days the food contamination started to grow.


CLICK HERE  to see that bacteria picture




Okay,we all know that the science fair is amazing and that my science project is  about food contamination, but do you know what food contamination is well here is a website 
CLICK HERE. Food contamination happens when you leave out food for to long and it gets old and then your food can get contaminated.
      
Okay,I chose this topic because when I see something that has to do with mold, I got to do it.So  I went on this WEBSITE I had to see what this project was and I clicked on it. I saw that the effects on baby food are still effects on real food.CLICK HERE
This was not my first science fair.This is like my 4th science fair project. As always I think I did good overall.


CLICK HERE


Well, in the science fair I WON  honorable mention. I guess that good, but I was still happy anyway because I won something. So that made me happy.

Okay, that's my blog see you later

Mammals

                                      Hello Graphic #91

Hey there it's Taylor. What I am going to talk about today is mammals! Like sometimes cute and sometime mean mammals.Well, lets go into adventure mode.                       


                                                 

                                                  http://firopik.blogspot.com/


What I am going to talk about... 



·  Describe five characteristics of all mammals and explain how they allow mammals to survive in different environments. In what ways are birds and mammals similar?

·  Differentiate among placental mammals, monotremes, and marsupials.
·  Compare the baby animals of  placental mammals with that of monotremes and marsupials. 
·  Choose an mammal that you would like to learn more about and teach us some interesting facts about that mammal.




This is a marsupial.

Did you know that mammals teeth come in different shapes and sizes.Mammals have there teeth specialized by what they eat. Many mammals are carnivores so they will need some big sharp claws the  to rip it's prey to pieces. Like horses they have teeth sorta like ours.Some horses are very happy eating grass, hay,and shrubs.What we need to remember is that us mammals have different types of teeth.

Okay,know I am going to talk about there mammary glands. Mammary Glands help feed their young milk produced by the mammary glands. Mammary glands are really important to mammals because it is the only way they can feed there young.

Next, I am going to tell you about endothermic.Endothermic means when your body tempter stays the same. If you are in a 50 degree weather your body tempter will still be normal or what it is suppose to be.

Another characteristic is that ALL MAMMALS I MEAN  ALL  mammals have hair of fur. So,if you don't have hair or fur don't even bother about asking if you can be in the mammals group.All mammals have hair or fur to keep them warm just like birds have down feathers to keep them warm. Did you know that people have fur coats that are made of actual animal fur.Cool and not so cool at the same time.

Last, but not least, of my characteristics of course. Okay this exiting moment has come down to this.I am going to talk about is THAT THEY ALL ARE VERTEBRATES! Know let me explain a little.See a vertebrate is a animal with a backbone. so remember the one thing that mammals will always have is a backbone.   

 http://the-right-solutions.blogspot.com/2010/08/missing-backbone.html

Know I can talk about the differences between birds and mammals. Well, what I think is a major obvious is that birds have feathers and mammals have hair or fur and major difference that some birds can fly and mammals cannot fly at all.Not even a little sad,but okay because mammals still rule.Anyways mammals have teeth birds don't. Birds have beaks or bills mammals don't.I could go on and on , but there is more to tell.




   VS    


Feather-http://www.pionusparrot.com/Feathers.htm


Fur-http://www.sfdm.scad.edu/faculty/mkesson/vsfx419/wip/spring11/shannon_dingle/fur.html




Not all of the mammals are in on group they have three types of them PLACENTAL,MARSUPIALS,AND MONOTREMES.I am going to tell you the difference between them.Placentals are humans like me and you.Marsupials are koalas and kangaroos. Monotremes are freaky they are the platypus and echidna.     



Placental mammals- They make up the biggest group of mammals. Many placental babies are born fully developed and some can even just get up and run.




Marsupials mammals- they crawl into their mothers pouch and feed off their mothers milk to complete their development/




Monotremes mammals-these mammals make up the smallest group of mammals and they are the only that don't have nipples and they are the only mammals that lay eggs.

Well, placental babies are born fully developed.Marsupial babies go into their mothers pouch then, it drinks its mothers milk from inside of the pouch. Monotremes are born in a egg and they all very different in there own ways.
