In science we had to create a renewable energy source. My group did a wind mobile. The video describes how it works and what it does! The password is lrei

Science Journal Post
In Science we are talking a lot about nature and cities. For homework we had to read an article about plants that were brought into the city and then write about four plants or nature cites that have been brought into the city. I am proud of this work because it shows that I can pick out the four cites and describe them. It shows that I can understand what the article is about and that I can understand it. In the article I also found really interesting plants that have been brought into cities in many cool and interesting places!
One way that nature has been brought into cities was in NYC, people put plants onto the disused railway (the high line) now there are some birds that have been attracted to these plants on the highway. This is important to NYC because there is barely any nature, so by having the high line it brings some fresh air and nature to the city.
Another way that nature has been brought into the city was in Singapore at a hotel. They planted trees, and has a pool on the 56 floor. This probably will attract birds because it is so high up, and the birds can live in the trees. The hotel calls it a skypark.
In Berlin people are turning waste and plotting them in spots around the city. Even on street corners and on rooftops to turn them into mini gardens. This is good for the city to get fresh air, and to have nature in their sight not just cities.
Vertical farms are also being planted in cities, even though they use energy for the farms the food that they plant will be more fresh than food being imported from different countries. This makes the percentage of having pesticides in their crops less, and still brings a little nature into the cities.
Science Muir Web
In Science we wrote down 3 meals that we ate, and then divided the food into different areas. We placed them in topics like producers, consumers, and abiotic. Abiotic are things that aren’t alive. For example I need a house to survive, and a house is an abiotic figure, so I wrote that down. But I had meat, so I placed it in consumers. For producers I placed basil plant because it is a producer. I am proud of this muir web because it shows that I understand these concepts and it was also really fun to make it.
Interconnectedness of Human Body Systems
In science we have been learning about human body systems. We just had a test on interconnectedness of human body systems. We made bubbles for each system and had to draw arrows to different systems to another of things that transfer through the system. Sometimes if you didn’t know where the part of the system came from you can draw a cloud. After drawing this stock and flow/bubble map I noticed how all the systems are so connected, and the circulatory connects to most of the systems. 
Structure Fits Function Science Project
Do you ever wonder how the heart does all those things fir your body? Do you ever wonder if the shape of you heart changes what it does? If your heart was shaped differently would it still do the same things or would it have different functions?
The heart is a muscle. The function of the heart is to pump blood and circulate it through the body. The structure helps the function because the heart is round so the veins that spread can go at any angle and any part of the body. Another reason is that it’s good that the heart is more at the top of your body than the bottom because it’s probably easier for blood to travel down than up. The heart is small so it is hard for it to be punctured and there are valves on the heart that make it easier to make blood flow through your body.
The heart is helpful to the brain because the brain needs a lot of blood and the heart is very close to the brain.
Science Behind Lunch
These are pie charts for 6B of what we eat at lunch. We looked at different websites and saw other pie charts, after looking at them we tried to change what we ate at lunch. Before was what we usually ate, and after was trying to eat how the online pie charts looked like. Some people tried to eat less of grain, or some people tried to eat more fruit, different people changed their diet based on what they usually ate.
My Atom Creation
In Science class we went on tinkercad and Dan told us to create what we thought an atom looked like so we did do that. I thought an atom would have four sides and each side would kind of look like a Galaxy. Something I enjoyed about making it was you kind of got to play with tinkercad and see what shapes there were. One challenging thing about it was when you looked at the atoms in different directions they looked different so I would keep on having to change how the atom was.
