This Week In Science #6

This week in science I did a investigation involving crickets. We wrote down a list full of things that we researched on the internet about what do cricket need and do in order to survive. I had many things about the crickets and let me tell you they are insects that don't really ask for much, they can basically eat anything. We also had a data day which involved us looking at crickets and collecting data about which environment do crickets like best dry or damp environment. We also did a Mission Challenge had talked al about a dichotomous key. An dichotomous key is a way for you to take a big group and classify it into different groups depending on their characteristics.


This week in science I learned that crickets don't actually don't need much "nursing" in order to survive. They can basically eat anything even fungi they usually like to live under a damp log, so with information i supposed that the crickets would prefer to live in damp places than in dry places. I also learned of another way of doing a dichotomous key. There is a picture dichotomous key and written dichotomous key. We learned how to take a group of jelly beans and classify them by their characteristics using a dichotomous key.
