Diorama

In class this week we created dioramas about a habitat of our choice. I did the river Nile. If you look at the picture above you will see my diorama. My class did it because we were learning about habitats. I enjoyed it because it was really fun making it. I hope you like the look of it. 

Animal classfication

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either veterbrate (which have spines) and invertebrates (Which have no spines)

invertebrates are animals like jellyfish crabs and insects.

Vertebrates are put into 5 groups. They are mammals, birds, reptile, fish and amphibians. mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers lay eggs and have wings. Reptiles are cold- and lay soft eggs. amphibians breathe through there skin and need to keep their skin moist Fish breathe through their gills and have fins.

Here are some examples of the types.

Mammals: Humans, Bears, manatee, cats, dogs and mice.

Birds: parrots, Robins, swans, ducks, Falcon and penguins.

Reptiles: Crocodiles, chameleon, turtles, snake and gecko

Amphibians: newt, frogs, salamanders, caecilian and toads

Fish: eels, goldfish, seahorse, Shark and stingray

science roadshow

On Thursday we went to the science roadshow. In my group was Riley Liam Sarah Peter Mia and Jemima. My mum was our chaperone. My favourite exhibit was the skeleton chair exhibit were a skeleton turned invisible then visible. It was mindbending. When we first got there we had to wait for about 5 Minutes before it started. The first show was the fire and ice show.  Were they tested with liquid nitrogen and metal. So that's about it.
