Summary: This week I learned about peppered moths, their different colors, how they can survive, and how their population decreased. I learned that peppered moths can come in different colors such as the normal color which is white with black spots or just a dark colors. The peppered moths live in trees with a type of fungi in them and depending on the color of the trees the moths can survive or get eaten by predators. If the tree is a light color then the light colored moth would be able to survive better than the dark colored moth. But if the tree becomes a darker shade then the dark colored moth would be able to survive better. Peppered moths can also survive in the winter because their larvae turn into pupae during the winter so that they stay warm. I've learned that the peppered moths are a form of natural selection because nature can choose whether or not they're a dark colored moth or light colored moth depending on their environment or depending on whether or not it'll help the moths survive.
SP4: Analyzing and interpreting data
Scientific investigations produce data that must be analyzed in order to derive meaning.
Did you create a graph, table, drawing, etc. of the data you obtained in an experiment?
Yes in class we played a game where you were a bird and you chose an area where you had to eat as many moths as you could within the time limit. On a google doc though there was data already recorded but you needed to put all that information in a graph. There was 2 sets of data. One for the light forest and one for the dark forest. When you put them in the graphs you had to answer questions while looking at the graph.
