Letter to Mr.Cuttatree

Dear Mr. Cuttatree

I am writing you this letter today because I heard you were building the Uppitty resort. I think that you should not build the Uppitty resort because animals will die out. The whole species of animals will die out which means all the animals might not exist anymore in that rainforest if you keep cutting down trees and taking animal's homes away. We will also lose oxygen and plants. If we lose plants we will lose oxygen because plants need us and we need plants.

Plants breathe out oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide. We also already have resorts around the world. If you make too many resorts in the world then the world will soon be covered in resorts and if we have too many resorts then there won't be any room for the plants or animals. If there are no plants or animals the world will be in danger. If we run out of oxygen we won't be able to breathe and if we don't have any animals then the whole food web will be destroyed.

Everything relies on plants for energy and if you destroy the plants then we won't get any energy. If we don't have any energy then we won't be able to run or have fun. If were not able to run then everyone might as well not work. If we don't work then we won't be able to make money. If we don't make money we won't be able to take care of our families.

Also if we don't make money we won't be able to pay the electric and water bills. We also won't be able to pay for food. if we don't have food we won't be able to live. We need all these things to live and if you just take away plants then everything falls apart. We also rely on animals because if we eat both then we are still eating plants. Like a cow for instance it eats grass and we eat the cow so we are still eating plants.

We also rely on the sun but the sun gives light to the plants that gives us energy. I think you shouldn't build the Upitty resort because we won't live and breathe. We need the plants and animals to survive. We are like there partners to survive. In conclusion you should not build the Uppitty resort because of plants and animals.

Sincerly,  Madeline Chan

Spectacled caiman

 

 

 

In ways I have got better at looking up information is just looking up something that I want information that I need. I think what was most satisfying about my work this week is that I got my work done and I got to relax.

 

Fun fact: The spectacled caiman eats about anything it can get its big jaws on.

 

Fun fact: The spectacled caiman would eat about anything to survive. Even their own kind.



Deforesation

In ways by getting better at this work I have taken notes and paying attention to the teacher. I have also read an article about it.

What was satisfying to me was that I have an A in this class. I also am satisfied that i have very good grades.

Fun facts: did you Know that the Africa's rainforest's have only 6% protected by the government. 

fun fact: Madagascar only has 5% of its forest's left.

10/24 " Interdependence of organisms"-1

I think I need to improve is to learn more about these subjects. I think to improve is right down my notes faster. I also think that I need to improve is to pay attention to when the teacher is telling me what to do.

What was satisfying about my work is that I have done good at the assignment. I am also proud that I know what to do for the assignments. The one thing I learned this week is that there are secondary consumers and primary consumers.

I have also learned is that if one animal is gone from the food web then everything falls

Interdependence of organisms

Today my class talked about stems, roots, and leaves.

There are two types of roots called fibrous and taproots. Fibrous roots look like tree branches and taproots can reach water that is deep underground. Some taproots store food and for the plant.

Stems provide support for the plant allowing the leaves to reach the sunlight that they need to produce food. Stems also carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. The cells that do this work are called xylem cells. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to the other parts of the plant. This is done by the phloem cells.

Leaves are food making factories of green plants. Leaves use water and minerals from the soil, cordon dioxide from the air and energy from the sunlight to make food.

My work tells me that I learn from seeing and hearing people talk.

By paying attention and and listening to the teacher.

Nervous system

Function: controls everything you do 

Organs: Brain: the control center

              Spinal cord: the highway for information. To the brain and from the brain 

              Nervous: connects your body to the brain

Activity: we used a website to know what we have to put on our blogs. The website allowed us to answer questions to see what we learned from the tips the website gave us.

The nervous system works with the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Fun fact: Neurons are nerve cells that carry information as tiny electrical signals.

Fun fact: receptors are things in your body that sends a signal to your spinal cord to the brain because if something happened to a body part that was yours.

Urinary system

Function: Gets rid of  soluble waste/ liquid

Organs: Kidneys: filter blood
             Ureters: two tubes
             Bladder: stores urine for disposal
             Urethra: one tube

The urinary system works with the kidney, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

How to keep your bladder healthy: how to keep your bladder healthy is too eat healthy and not hold your pea in for more than 24 hours.

Fun fact: If you keep your pea in for 24 or more hours than you will have a bladder infection

Fun fact: the kidneys make your pea.

Fun fact: another name for pea is urine.

Fun fact: The brain signals the bladder that its time to empty the bladder

Fun fact: The waste from the blood gets taken away in the urine and goes into the toilet
