What science ideas did you learn??

In science we have been learning about the spread of disease. This week we have been doing this activity. In this activity we have been helping this school. We are trying to figure out why kids have been getting sick, and what they have.

We had also did an experiment on simulation and learned about macroscopic, microscopic, and sub-microscopic. We had also learned about dirty and clean surfaces and how you can experiment and see what's dirty and what's not.

How did you learn these ideas?

We learned these ideas by discussing and doing experiments. The experiment we did on the simulation, was for homework we went on this website and it would show us simulations.A simulation is an imitation or enactment, as of something anticipated or in testing. A simulation can show toy the object up close.

Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there)?

It is important to know these ideas because we could use them in real world situations. Like for example in the future someone can ask you about the spread of disease, and you would know the answer for that.

-What science ideas did you learn?

This week i learned about living and non-living things. We had to list 10 living and non-living things for hw. We talked about many things, we learned about diseases and how we get sick, what are some causes of illnesses, how we can protect ourselves from the spread of disease, what is an epidemic, and how scientist track the spread of disease. I learned about parasites, bacteria, viruses. I learned alot.

-How did you learn these ideas?

I learned these ideas by going on the Internet and listening to my teacher during class. I wrote down the information that i needed and i asked people for help when i didn't get something. I looked at my notes to see if there was anything i can use.

-Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there)?

It is important to know these things because you can use them in the future. Like for example: I want to be a pathologist when i grow up. Maybe one day my teacher will ask me... Why do we (people) get sick? or maybe, How can we prevent ourselves from getting sick? and i will raise my hand because i know what the answer is! I learned it in science in 7th grade science!
