science HW 10/7/09

• What science ideas did you learn?
  
  
  This week we learned about the structures of a bacteria and a virus.For homework we had to draw a picture and label the structure. We had to look at the qualities to see if the structure is living or non living.
  If it is living it would have to....
  
  
  -respirate ( breathe )
  -have food
  -reproduce
  -have DNA or RNA
  -a cell wall
  -adapts to its environment
  
  
  
  
  Also in class we are helping a school to see why there students are becoming sick. We got blood samples, lake water samples, and chicken samples. towards the end of the week we kinda learned about a microscope, and how to make dry and wet mount slides.
  
  
• How did you learn these ideas?
  
  
  i learned these by discussing with my group and learning from my homework, also listening to my teachers and other things.
  
  
• Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there?)
  
  
  learning how a virus works is good to know same for bacteria. When i grow up i want to be a pathologist. A pathologist is a kind of doctor. Its good to know these things cause its 1 thing more you ll know more about.
