Summary: This week in science we got a biome to research with a team and me and my team got the coniferous forest. Some of the things I learned about the coniferous forest is that the most common trees to grow there are confirs but the most common confirs are spruces, pines, and firs. A confir is a tree that is an evergreen, grows needles instead of flowers, and it also grows cones instead of flowers. There are also predators in the coniferous forest such as wolves, bears, foxes, and wolverines. A wolverine is a small yet very fierce carnivore and it's also related to a weasel and a stout. Other animals that aren't predators are moose, reindeer or caribou, and maybe deer.
SP1: Asking questions and defining problems
Science begins with a question about a phenomenon such as “Why is the sky blue?” or “What causes cancer?” A basic practice of the scientist is the ability to formulate empirically answerable questions about phenomena to establish what is already known, and to determine what questions have yet to be satisfactorily answered.
Did you ask a scientific question?
A question that the teacher asked us was that what were some things that would help you survive in a specific biome and what would be a threat in that biome. There were some things in the forest that we needed a description for and what it would do to us. We needed to state what it would scientifically do to us.
Scale, proportion, and quantity
SCALE, PROPORTION, AND QUANTITY HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW NATURE IS DIFFERENT WHEN WE STUDY THE VERY LARGE AND VERY SMALL.
Tell us what have you learned about how things change at different scales. This can be something that you notice in class or outside of class.
Identify a topic affected by scale, proportion or quantity and explain how things changed at different scales.
We also needed to put how many predators, eatable plants and animals, resources for shelter, and resources for fire we needed.
