FutureQuest Lesson 1

Respectful to me would sound like "Pass the salt............ uh......... please," at home. At school it would sound like "Yes sir". At home respect would look nothing like respect. At school, it would look a bit better than home. Trustworthy at home would sound like "I trust that you can beat the boss level for me while I'm at Boy Scouts," and at school, "I trust you can be good in the class room while I'm making copies." Thoughtful at home would be, "I will help you with your home work," and school, "I will tutor you if you want." I need to be more of all of that. Doing that would up my behavior grade and get me closer to M.I.T.

Why are plamts amd algae important in an aquarium?

They are important because THEY PROVIDE FOOD!

Observation #3

We gave a rain shower on the terrarium only to find out that the two crickets have ate each other. Everything but the head. The mustard, alfalfa, and grass weren't growing that good so they didn't have any thing to eat. The fish were okay and so were the snails. Duckweed was growing and so was the elodea and algae, but the snails and fish were eating it.

Ecosystems - How We Depend On Each Other

Ecosystems, the final front-- oh... wrong line. Ecosystems, how we depend on each other. Yesterday we made a terrarium and an aquarium together... using 2 liter bottles! In the terrarium we put gravel, soil, Alfalfa seeds, Mustard seeds, and Grass seeds in the bottle. We also put some rocks and dead leaves in the bottle. We then added 2 crickets, and 2 rolly polly bugs. We put the aquarium, which has elodea, algae, duckweed, 2 snails, 2 mosquito fish and gravel, under the terrarium.
