hi. where can i find science fair ideas??? :-)

Anonymous said...

i want some better ideas for science fair because i did not like my idea last year. mi am sure ms samuels will help us come up with some interesting stuff.

사랑_simplyvenus143_사랑 said...

umm...i was thinking of this one as my science fair project, "How permanent are permanent markers? What solvents (e.g., water, alcohol, vinegar, detergent solution) will remove the ink? Do different brands/types of markers produce the same results?" Will this be a good science fair project?

Red Eared Slider Turtles

MATING:

The male swims toward the female and begins to vibrate his long claws on and around her face and head. The female will continue to swim toward the male and if she is receptive she will sink to the bottom for mating. If the female is not receptive, she might start a fight with the male. Mating usually takes 15 minutes.

what i know is that the turtles was in a trade and now it is very popular in United States and in the Netherlands,Canada and England.

Habitat:The water should be kept at a constant temperature of 24-27 degrees celsius (76-82F.

they like to eat:pellets, aquatic plants, vegetables, animal protein, as well as the occasional supplement.

Ms.samuels I didnt find locust trees but I did find black locust trees.

Black locust trees are very known for the flowers it grows.And the honey tree has honey in it so bees are very attracted to the honey tree.

Luis Diaz: Rm 302
Red-eared sliders hibernate through the winter in the bottom ponds or lakes.They try not to get into trouble with orther animals but when it gets into bigger trouble with stronger preys they dive into the water and evade the prey.

Luis Diaz: Rm 302

the major difference between Honey and Locust Trees is that HoneyLocust have very sharp thorns and Locust trees dont but they do have toxic pods that make honey.\

Range: Pennsylvania and Ohio to Alabama and Georgia; also from S. Missouri to E. Oklahoma & Honey Locusts are usually situated in moist soils of river flood plains located in mixed forests.
However, they sometimes survive on dry upland limestone hills and waste places.

Red eared sliders:
Red eared sliders can live up to 40 years. They are found in most permanent slow-moving water sources with mud bottoms in the eastern three quarters of the state. They eat aquatic plants, small fishes, and decaying materials. It's a medium sized turtle with a dark green oval shell, in younger turtles they have a yellow marked, green legs with thin yellow stripes and a green head with a red stripe behind the eye. They got the named Red eared sliders because of their broad red stripe behind their eye and and their habit of sliding off rocks and logs when startled.

The major differences between a honey locust trees and black locust trees are: honey locust trees have thorns and black locust trees don't. Also, black locust trees have flowers and honey locust trees don't. One last thing is that honey locust's pods are edible and black locust's pods are toxic.

The red-eared slider is perhaps the best known and most recognizable of turtles. It is a medium sized turtle with a dark green oval shell, marked with yellow in younger turtles, green legs with thin yellow stripes and a green head with a red stripe behind the eye
Life History
Red-eared sliders are Texas's most common aquatic turtles. These turtles get their name from a broad red stripe behind their eye and their habit of sliding off rocks and logs when startled. Older turtles are often covered with a thick coat of algae. Some red-eared sliders live more than 30 years. _lucy olaguez R.M 304

did you know the native range of black locust is classified as humid, with two local areas of superhumid climate. The range includes the cool temperate moist forest, warm temperate montane moist forest, warm temperate montane wet forest, and warm temperate moist forest life zones.

Black locust is a legume with root nodes that, along with bacteria, "fixes" atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. These soil nitrates are usable by other plants. Most legumes have pea-like flowers with distinctive seed pods. Black locust is native to the Ozarks and the southern Appalachians but have been transplanted in many northeastern states and Europe. The tree has become a pest in areas outside its natural range. You are encouraged to plant the tree with caution. Read more on Invasive Exotic Trees.

The Black Locust tree, Robinia pseudoacacia, is sometimes called the yellow locust. Black Locust trees grow naturally on a wide range of sites but does best on rich moist limestone soils. It has escaped cultivation and become naturalized throughout eastern North America and parts of the West. Black locust is not a commercial timber species but is useful for many other purposes.This deciduous tree is a nitrogen fixer and has rapid juvenile growth.

But on the other hand The Sunburst Honeylocust tree, Gleditsia triacanthos inermis, 'Sunburst', is smaller in stature than the common Honeylocust tree. Sunburst Honeylocust trees display yellow new growth, and the yellow leaves persists throughout the season. The wood is dense, hard, and durable. The Sunburst Honeylocust is fast growing up to 2 ‘ a year. It is a very fine textured tree with a broad, pyramidal crown, and an excellent lawn tree for filtered shade

Yellow-eared and Red-eared Sliders (Trachemys [Chrysemys] scripta; T. s. elegans,) are found throughout the United States east of the Rockies. They are the sliders is the one most often sold in pet stores here in the U.S. and abroad. These fresh water turtles spend much of their time in the warm waters of their native habitat. While they are strong underwater swimmers, these sliders spend much of the warmer hours of the day hauled out on logs or rocks (or, when very small, on marsh weeds and other aquatic plants) basking in the sun. All of the sliders are omnivores, eating both animal protein and vegetable/plant matter. Younger turtles need up to 40% of their food from protein sources; adult turtles feed more heavily on vegetation. In the wild they begin by eating tiny fish and amphibian larva, water snails and a variety of plants growing in the water and on land.

Hey guys,
Isn't it fun to blog homework? Anywho, Clara you can biuld a radio if you like, but you have to solve some sort of problem with that radio.Remember, it's an investigation. For all those that asked for good websites for science fair project ideas, I gave you a bunch of websites. If you like, I'll put some links to websites on schoolnotes. I'll hopefully havr that done by sunday.

In the fall of 1918 the Great War in Europe was winding down and peace was on the horizon. The Americans had joined in the fight. Across the globe, something erupted that seemed as benign as the common cold. The influenza of that season, however, was far more than a cold. In the two years that this scourge ravaged the earth, a fifth of the world's population was infected. The flu was most deadly for people ages 20 to 40. This pattern of morbidity was unusual for influenza which is usually a killer of the elderly and young children.
