          Severe Weather Project Reflection: Summary: The project was a bit challenging because I had to research all the information about the drought, hailstorm, hurricanes, floods and etc. The project was exciting too because I got to make trading cards. Backward-Looking Reflection: The resources I used this week were the links that we used in the computer. These resources were especially helpful because it had lots if information in the websites. I would use these again for other projects and assignments.  Inward-Looking Reflection: What was satisfying about my work this week was a trading card project about severe weather. It was satisfying because I got a decent amount of the cards done. I was pleased with it because I got lots of work done.    Outward-Looking: I did my work the way the others did. It was similar because I had my assumptions just like the others and I did most of my work by doing a simi...

Weather: Summary: Weather is powered by the sun, water cycle and wind. Weather happens in the troposphere - the first layer of the atmosphere. Weather is tornadoes, hail, sleet, snow, droughts, floods, hurricanes and lots more. Backward-Looking Reflection: I used the computer. My resources were especially helpful this week. I would use them again because it has information that I can use. Inward-Looking Reflection: I feel like I did a good job on my work and that I got lots done. I liked the part were we got to research the weather on EDHEADS. 

Reflective : Mr. Cuttatree

Dear Mr. Cuttatree, I heard that you were going to cut down the trees of the rainforest to build your Uppitty Resort. Building your resort from the trees of the rainforest will cause these effects: lack of oxygen, mudslides, and loss of natural medicine from animals; anti-venom. This is bad for the all the animals such as the blue moth. This also bad for the environment because the animals that eat the blue moth will die out because they do not have the food they need to reproduce. The top predators that eat the animal will die out because they do not have the food they need to reproduce. Here are my three main reasons: Main Reason #1: Cutting down the trees of the rainforest will cause the lack of oxygen. In our class, we did some photosynthesis activities and research and found that their waste gas is oxygen. If you cut down the trees we will suffer loss of most of our oxygen. Without oxygen Earth will become the suffocating place it once was. All the whales, dolphins and manat...

                  Deforestation 11/14 Summary: Deforestation is bad for the animals and plants who live in the rainforest because all their food will have gone extinct and we will suffer because some of those animals are our food. We also will suffer oxygen loss and medicine like the anti-venom. Backward-Looking Reflection: I have gotten better at this work because I have memorized all my facts and found some more information of deforestation. I also have done more work and have gotten better grades on my work. I have gotten better because I paid attention to my work and became more attentive. Inward-Looking Reflection: I have changed my ideas about my work this week because it seemed interesting and it was amazing about what I learned this week. I have changed my ideas because the work was important. I have changed my ideas because the work this week was more challenging.

                           Deforestation Summary: I learned that the more trees we cut down in the rainforest, the more oxygen we are preventing. I also learned that deforestation is killing animals and possibly making them extinct or endangered. Backward-Looking Reflection: I have done a similar kind of work in the past. In 4th grade I learned that fewer rainforests remain. We also learned that deforestation was awful, because we were killing lots of animals and plants that were innocent and important. Another thing we learned was how to prevent it from happening. Inward-Looking Reflection: The work that I learned about this week was enjoyable . I enjoyed it because we were learning about the importance of taking proper care of all plants and animals. Saving the rainforest is something that I want to help with.

             Interdependence of Organisms Summary: I learned about the parasitic relationships, commensalism relationships, and mutualism relationships. Parasitic relationships mean that a small parasite, such as fleas land on an unsuspecting animal. The animal gets itchy which makes it uncomfortable for it while the fleas get benefited. Commensalism relationships mean that one animal such as a bird decides to build a nest on a tree. The tree doesn't even care. Mutualism means that one animal and another animal both get benefited, such as an ox-pecker and a rhino. The ox-pecker eats the ticks and other bugs that are bothering the rhino, and the rhino gives the ox-pecker food and shelter. The ox-pecker is also like a warning system - letting the rhino know if danger is approaching. Backward-Looking Reflection: I didn't know about the rainforest and all it's symbiotic relationships, such as parasitic,commensalism, and m...
