This week in Science: Carrying Capacity

This week in science we learned about carrying capacity. By using examples such as deer, how they reproduce, and where they live we created a game. The game's focus was to show how the environment depended on deer. It also works vice versa because the deer depend on the environment. We then took tallys and put it into a graph. We also played another game where we organized environments and the animals that live there.

We learned about predator/prey relationship. We also learned about mutualism. We watched videos of how all of this works. We learned about carry capacity too. The it works is that, if an animal reproduces too much, then there may not be enough resources to do around. Or, if the certain resource that an animal needs isn't available, then the animal that needed that resource dies.

This week in Science -Spider Habitat Design-

   This week in science i made a habitat for a spider. We also learned a lot about spiders. We learned what type of environments they live in. We learned a lot from the Carbon Cycle game. We also learned a lot from our group partners.

    Later on we made a giant habitat displaying how out spider will live. we put in branches, dirt, and bugs for it eat. We put in limiting factors, a food chain and more. We also colored it to make it look good. all our group members helped make it a wonderful poster.

    In our picture, we have a lot of scientific stuff. In our food chain the sun sun always starts off everything. It then has grass, which are the producers, then little insects which are consumers. the flies are the secondary consumers, and the main predator, the spider, is the tritary consumer. This goes for the energy pyramid too. The energy converts from the plants, to the insects, to the spider. Without another spider, the spider's capacity cannot increase.
