Car

My car is using Newtons first law by rolling and the first law states an object in motion will remain in motion until a change has made. My car is at rest and will be at rest until there is a change in motion. The change that will put my car in motion is the ruber band. My car has cds for wheels and the body is made out of cardboard.

Ask a Genetcist

This article talks about how the human has 46 chromosomes and parents make babies and how half of their DNA went to the offspring. The DNA between the parents are similar but yet different. A part of the DNA copies from both parents and pass it on to their offspring.


What I learned from this article is that we have a part of our parents DNA and how we have parts of their DNA. Also, that some DNA's are similar but different in some ways.

Ask a Geneticist

In this article they talk about how chimps and humans have different amounts of chromosomes. At some point both human and chip had the same amount of chromosomes but then started to drift apart. The difference between the chromosomes are 1.2% and 98.8% of the chromosomes are the same.


What I learned from article is that humans and chips started off with the same amount of chromosomes and than we ended up with different numbers of chromosomes.

Basic Genetics

BASIC GENETICS


Basic Genetics tells you about genetics and much more. You get a tour and that tour explains to you want you want to know. It talks about heredity and heredity is when you inherit traits from your parents. That is why children look like their parents. They also talk about traits and traits are features that make people in some way unique. They are also passed on from your family to you and you pass them on. Some traits are good and some are bad.

I think that this website has a lot of interesting things. You will know what somethings mean and some you won't. I learned what DNA stands for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. This website is a good website because you get to learn more things about genetics. For me this is the best website I can learn more about genetics and it can help me understand more about it.

Reflection

What I learned so far.......

What learned so far is that we played a game outside and we had to the elk and we played with toothpicks which were the leaves. So we were timed and we had to catch as many toothpicks as we can and we would play 4 rounds. At the end we would count all the toothpicks we got and that would help us learn how the elk would take all the leaves and how there wasn't any more leaves for the other animals.

How to Woo a Panda

This article says about how female pandas call the male pandas chirps. They said that the female pandas chirp to call the male pandas when they are ready to mate. One scientists recorded 14 female pandas and then played it for the male pandas. The male pandas went to the speaker and they actually thought it was a real female panda. The female pandas begin to chirp when they begin estrous. Also, some female pandas chirp to attack male pandas. Some other female pandas are interested in male pandas.

I think that this article is interesting and funny because I near knew that female pandas call their mates by chirping. Also how some female pandas just call male pandas to attack them. I find it funny because they trick the male pandas when they recorded the chirps of the female pandas.

Are Wolves The Pronghorn's Best Friend?



The wolf is not the pronghorn best friend. They have reduced the population of pronghorn. Now there are less than 200 of them. In 1995 their population grew 50 percent. There 48 states with pronghorn. In Wyoming and Idaho have announced to reduce the wolf population by 50 percent and 80 precent respectively.

I think that this article is correct because the wolf population can increase. Also, in Yellowstone Park have free wondering around wolves and back then they had no wolves but if the pronghorn population decreases then they will go to farm land eat the farmers animals.
