This week in science #9

    This week in science, first I had to do some background research on all four of the animals. I did it on the Perch, Skate, Frog, Mouse out of those my group pick the Mouse and the frog. After this part I named some parts of its body. The side view, The Dorsal view, the Ventral view, anything external. Then I had to learn how to do the frog dissection, it was a guide I read from to do the dissection.

This week in science I learned a little about each animal. Again me and my partners dissection animal was the frog. The first time I look at it I found out that it's a male. Learn some of the body parts and labeled them. Also at the end the frog was dissected and had pictures took. I learned that you can't do nothing with leaning something first.










     Compare and Contrast, My other two group members had to dissect a mouse and me and my partner did a frog. As you can see two different organisms. I know that the mouse lives on land and the frog can live in both water and land. Both of them has stomachs, livers, hearts, intestines, naming some. The frog has a greenish skin with spots to blend in it's environment. The mouse has hair and the frog doesn't. And the frog back legs are long and the mouse back legs are not.

this week in science #8

     
side view          
Dorsal view
      This week in science I did a work sheet that had different words, science words. With the words I use them to find it on the cricket. The Dorsal view is the picture above this. The Ventral view is the bottom part of the cricket, you can see a little of it on the side view picture. The Anterior is the head of the cricket and is called the vertex. The Distal on the cricket is its tarsal claws because is the furthest away and its Proximal is the hind leg cause is closer to the body. The female Acheta Posterior is the ovipositor of the cricket. The cricket is found in and around houses, other buildings, and in garbage dumps.
     This week in science I learned words like Ventral, Proximal, Distal, Anterior, and Posterior. I hope that I can remember them for a long time. I had a aha moment when I heard the word Dorsal because I know that a sharks Dorsal fin is on its back so that gave me a clue to what Dorsal mean.
