plant report

first i put some seeds in a plastic cup then i put some soil with grass and worms when i did that, i got to my class to put water in my plastic cup,in the next day my teachersaid me that i can only put water monday, tuesday and wednesday. In the next day i sawmy seeds and the seeds was the same like yesterday and i put water, then i did class like all days, like in three days i saw that then seeds start to have raises then the other day i put water to the seeds and that days was the same seeds but the raises was longer, then i put water to my plant but i got a problem that i put a lot of water in the plant and in the other day i saw that the plant and the soil was whith mud in the other days i did t pay attention to my plant and in a week i take my plant and i smell it and the plant smell very disgusting, then i smelled my hand and smelled like manure but i did t see that the plant grew and i only saw a pastic glass with mud and water, then i saw that that the plant of my friend grew a lot and my plant was the same and i was very sad, and a friend say me that he do a mix that was postobon and water. I told him that if he can gave me some of the mix and he gave me of that, i put it to my plant in the next day i sow that my lant start to grew but the plant only pas the soil and i put a name to my plant that was frank

Plant Report

mi plant has been grewing because i gave water to it and it has been succesfully grow because i put 5 seeds and 4 of them had growing in my cup.


first i put a little bit of soil in the plastic cup and then i put again more soil. up 3 days and one seed grew the fist was in the first image in the right part and it doesn't died!! the next seed is a pear seed and i think that it will be like the other plants.
Materials

  • plastic cup
  • seeds
  • soil
  • water
Reflection
I learnt that u have to be really responsable becausse if u dont give it water it will die and u dont have to push tha soil for it because may be it'll die. other thing that i learnt is that it needs some sun for grow.

My plant jelly

I plant a sunflower and 3 beans , of the 3 beans only 1 start growing fast and the others are deep in the soil , the sunflower is like a grass , i water the plants often except for 4 days that i didnt remember or at the morning i was busy doing the attendance or helping a teacher , i named my lats jelly because you need to be very caring for taking care of them and do ot hurt them because if you ouch a jelly really hard its gonna broke so this is why i putted that name to my plant.

The things i used

Water
Seeeds
oil
plastic conatiner(yellow)

I learned that you have to be really responsible with your lant because if not its not gonna grow and its gonna die , this experiment is finished but know ill keep waiting and caring for my plant till the day it dies.

I think that my plant is no so big but
My flower i think is the one more
like crazy because like in 3 or more
months it is going to grow and be
a very good plant ;)

I LOVE MY BEUTIFFLE PLANT :D

ALEJANDRO NIÑO



my plant


The name of my plant is: alejandro, Y like my plant ever since moment that it born until the moment at they killed.


When my plant began to grow it start making roots then it start to make like a capul then in 1 day it start to apear 2 little doubled leaves and then at final it aper 2 great leaves then when I dont go the Friday then I did not come the weekend and Monday my plant was flooded and dead and I not who do that horrible think to my little Alejandro.


and I named he like that because is my name and to because I dont know another name for my plant.


Our plant

My Plant

We planted our plant about 3 weeks ago. My plant's name is Tim because i like it. On the first week my plant had not grown even a little. On the second week my plant started growing a kind of grass, and on the 3 week it just grew more grass.When the experiment is over i will take it to a place where i will plant it and make sure it grows healthy.

Materials:

- Seed
-Water
-Soil
-Plastic base

Reflection:

It is very important to care about our plant because it's a living creature and it should be treated the same we treat humans.

My plant, Razor

My plant, I called like that because I like that name.


My plant, start being from a little seed to a plant, what happen was that my plant on the second week I lived outside and at the next day it was diw, so I started a new ecosystem with only one seed, which seed has grown up, till it became a adult plant.

Now that the experiment is over, I would take my plant to my house, and planted in a place and see it grow till is a big plant.

Materials:

Bean seed
Earth
Water
Plastic base


Reflection:
It's very important to care about a plant, because is a living thing and it has life, so it's like me. Is very important to care about it, and it's very beatiful see growing a living thing.

MY PLANT REPORT

MY PLANT

The name I gave my plant is coffee, because that is the name of my dog and because I really like that name.

I am giving water to my plant on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday but now I'm giving more often because it was drying.

The materials I use:
1.
Land.
2. Seeds.
3. Small plastic cup.

The seed I used is beans. I only planted one plant because the glass is small.

My reflection:
To care for a plant, it takes responsibility and commitment. I hope that my plant keeps growing and growing and that is the highest.

Plant toño

My plant is called toño because I like that name for my plant was of bean and was a little plant then it star growing and then became the biggest plant at the class for that reason I star to take care of that plant because I saw that was very important to care about it. the first day I saw nothing at the second also but a the third I so that the bean start growing at the for day the bean has like a little thing white and then at the fifth day that think has like a hair in the six day has a steam and then in the seven day has a little leaf the next days that beautiful life go growing an be biggest than ever at the last day that was on Friday y so it like 3 plants an one more growing and very big the leafs of that new plant in the world.

Why do I look like this?

I think that I look like this because god make me like that and also the nature, the mix of my parents make me like who I am like beatriz explain us 23 of the ovule and 23 of the sperm joins make me like I look like, I fell like, I am for that reason all the people is different and not body is the same.

Be cloning

I like and the same time not good because you can’t have like a brother and you can’t play and enjoy it because has your same style and likes for that reason it is cool, but bad because it is out of morality and also is dangerous to your body because may affect you inside I don’t sure, and maybe the person cloned can’t said why I look like this because that is sad that the people make that for that reason I said no I don’t like to be cloned .

FRAY!!

The name of my plant is Fray, because I like that name i think its cool.

The first day Betty told us to take to the school a plastic container and a seed.
In school we take the container and we put the seed in it the we put soil in it. The we put it in a place were the sun touch it.

We put water each monday - wednesday - Friday. We cant put each day because it can die.

I put a 3 bean seed and a sunflour seed. It havent grow because sometimes i forget to put water on it or because sometimes i move the plant and were i live it theres no sun.

But even thought Fray ( my plant ) have very big roots.

REFLECTION:

Im very happy of being responsable for a living thing this exeperiment can make me more responsable. Being responsable of Fray its very important because its like a human being it needs food, drink and care. I adore Fray it is so beautiful im happy.Its a good exeprience, im happy to help the planet in this simple way.

Plant report

My plant:
  • The name I gave to my plant is Planty
  • I put water on it only Monday, Wedenesday and Friday,if I put water on it every day it will drown and doesn´t grow good.
The procedure I used was:
  1. Put soil in the container.
  2. Put the seeds into the soil.
  3. Put water Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays

I used 3 seeds of sunflower, but it doesn´t grow too much, and I think that is because I have´t put the water my flower needs to live.

I think taking care of a plant needs a lot of responsability because you are taking care a living being, this experience was interesting because I am caring a living thing and if this die it will be all my fault. And I would like to do this again because is important to help the planet only planting a little seed.

Sofia Fernandez

My Plant

My Plan :

I´ts name is WAVETY because, the water help the plant to grow and grow till i´ts very tall !

I put water on it:

Monday - Wednesday - Friday

Because if I put water all the days it will be like MUD ...

For that reason I put water only that days !


The Seeds I Used :

Bean Seed : 2

Sunflower : 1

Apple Seed : 2

The seed haven´t grow !!!

I think my plant ( WAVETY ) haven´t grow because I haven´t put the correct amound of water!

Possibly it doesen´t have the correct amound of soil !


Reflection :

In this activity I learn that taiking care of a living thing is not so easy, it need to have a special care, it is different if you take care of a plant than a baby !

I think next time we do this again I will know how to take care of a plant !

And I will make it grow and grow till it touch the roof !!!

Or maybe till it go out of the pot !

Here is WAVETY taking the Sun !

My plant


On my plant I put a kidney bean,a sunflower and another sunflower its name was "GuSaNiToS RoKeRoS "I plant my three on a plastic container with many but many soil oviusly for my plant grow.Also on my plant I put 3 worms that I think they die or be eated by the 100 foot I also put.

the kidney bean grow a little bit not too much but the sunflowers were soo lazy and didnt grow.I put water each monday, wednesday and friday as it was said to all kids I think in fifth grade.I think this has a relationship wit the unit of "La reproduccion de los seres vivos contribuye a la perpatuacion de las especies "because we are perpetuating some species of plants like kidney bean and the sunflower its is so important to preservated.The bad thing is that my kidney bean could not take off the the seminal cover.

My Plant

Plant report:
My plant was the worst! Experiment in the hole class it even grow it was even big than a piece of grass it had the seed steel was steel punched to the root what is that I have never see that in plats that I plat before this one my friends have bean and I had a bean all the ones at the class that had beans have big plants of huge sizes an the ones with seeds had some things that make you laugh that things where awful, if do not get shame about that you are not a human being it like if say you  do not close your eyes with biting a lemon or when you  sneeze, that is impossible, I have to say say I was not much interested in caring the plant only if my friends go to gave them water I go with them or if at the table where the plants where located there was a bottle of water for the plants I give them some water also I have to say some Fridays they do not gave them water and they get two complete days without drinking some water also some few days when we were going to go to the buses I gave them some water of my drinking  water bottle and almost only have it water at the hour of exit and not  at the morning no afternoon only at afternoon and not every afternoon, the problem was board and not enough interest at the project.

MY PLANT

We foud some soil and we put it in a container, then I put 1 seed in my container, we put water, and we let the plants in a table.

My plant in the first day dont grow, I put it water but dont grow, and in the second, and in the third day, and dont grow, but in the fourth day starts to grow and the root started to grow from the seed, that was very amazing for me and first I think that my plant never grow because all plants start to grow but mine not but now my plant is so big not like the others but i like my plant and the name of my plant is PLANT because I dont know other name to put it.

Now I have a little plant and I think that when will past like 2 weeks my plant will be very bigggggggggggggggggg and now in my house I will plant many plants with the help of my brothers Juan and Iker, with my mother and father and also my friends.

Was very fun do this work because we were with our friends and we learn how to planting a plant.

MY PLANT

The first day i got my plant we found rich soil so we could plant my plant . Then i put 3 seeds in my container with soil and a worm JEJE.So every tuesday,thursday and friday we put water on the plant so it can grow.but one day i let my plant outside so it can get the sun , and i forgot to put it inside again and it rained and the rain wiped the soil and the seeds so i dont have a plant anymore.And the name of my plant was plant.

Why do i look like this?


I look like this because of my genes , my mother and my father when they decided to join and have a baby that in this case is me , they passed me their genes so when this happened my DNA already had all the information they passed like how were gonna be my eyes , my hair color , my eyes color , the shape of my hair , the way my hands were gonna look or even my feets , DNA goes for lots of generations , when a female and a male whant to create their baby the genes of both parents is going to create the DNA of the child and when the child born and he grows up and he has babys hes gonna do the same of pasing genes and forming the babys DNA.I woudent like to be cloned because there would be aother me and if someone met my cloe and had a bad impression when im near to them they would be get off my way and that wouldent be the only problem there would be lots of problems and more and more each day but solutions too , by the way i ust want 1 person that has my feelings and that is identical to me and that person in spirit would be god but in real life it would be me , because i like to be unique.

Why do I look like this?



I look like this because my mother and my father pass me their genes, when they pass me their genes my DNA have all the information they pass to me like my hair color, hair shape, eyes color, the form of my hands, etc. The DNA is
pass generation to generation so when two persons want to create a family there they are joining two diferent types of the
DNA, the ovule has 23 chromosones and the spermatozoid has 23
chromosones so when they join they make 46 chromosones so they create a new life. The sex of a baby is randomly chosen, because it denpend if the spermatozoid is XY is a boy but if it is XX is a girl, so it depends on what is the sex of the spermato





This is my father, my sister and me.






Do I would like to be cloned?

I would not like to be cloned because, I am special how I am and I am unique not any copy of other thing , and I love myself how I am, and a clone is not important because I love to be unique and it doesn´t metter what other people say about ´cause a want to be all my life, a special person without
a replica or my exact copy.

Here it´s my mother, my grandmother(paternal part), my sister and me.

MY PLANT!

The first day of this experiment I planted two seeds of beans , 1 of (girasol) and other two seeds of a plant I really didn’t know of what it was of ,and also I took some worms from the holes we made to take soil for the plant , and before we went back to the classroom I planted all the seeds that were left and also all the seeds my classmates lost or left there ; First I make many holes but no so big and then I put all the seeds in each hole I made. The next day I had to water my plant but I forget totally that the plant needed water and also the worms I put in my recipe to have more or less a "mini" ecosystem, and like that precise day the sun was so hot that the worms get dry, and the next day the first thing I do was to water the plant and also the worms so they could live more than one day in the space of my plant.... but it was too late for putting water to the worms because like the day before was so hot maybe they dry in that moment but like my experiment had to continue I put some water to the seed , and I had to take out the worms, the third day was a normal day the only thing I did with or to the plant was water it and then watch it by a little time then I continue the day as normal, the4 day I didn’t water it so I start to observe the plant and I could see a little clover trying to get out and then i see to another part of the recipe and I saw a very little grass , the fifth day I get some animals to put with the plant and before that I water the plant. And today my plant has 3 or 4 grasses the same clover but a little bit bigger and 3 mini plants.And that was wath my plant has to pass for to grow and the animals I finally put are alive today.

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THIS ?

Why Do I Look Like This ?
Because my father and my mother passed me some genes, that their parents passed them, but that genes conbined, i mean, my hair is kind a brown because my grandma had blonde hair and both of my parents have black hair, so thanks to my grandma, my hair is this way. My dad have blue and green eyes and my mother have green - brown eyes so they conbine and i have brown eyes. Thats genetic. Its like a chain because the grand parents of my grand parents pass genetic to them so i have genetic of people of many years ago.

Would I Like To Be Cloned?

NO, i think that when scientist clon people they are playing with nature we are, how we are, we are unique, I am unique and I like to be unique, because thats the way i can show people im diferent, just me and im good at being me.

Camila Gomez :)

Why I look like this?

Why I am how I am, and why I look how I look?
I look how I look because I have some genes, some genes that I inherit from my parents and ancestors we get them noses, hair color, eyes color, skin color, hands form, legs form, and all my characteristics.
Would I like to be cloned?
·       No!!! I would not like to be cloned because I like to be unique I am unique and body can tell me that not I know who I am and what I am not, I am a human being I am not a copy of it I am a creation of God a creature of earth, s I would not like to be cloned because I want to be unique, also which is the benefice of having a clone “be in two places at the time” no I am not going to be at two places at the time I am going to be at a place and my clone is going to be at another no me my clone which is my freaking copy.

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THIS ?

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THIS ?



I look like this because my dad and mom passed me some of thier genes.FOR EX..



my mom passed my color hair

my dad passed me my smile:)

and my uncles passed me GREEN eyes



I think thats because my granparents passed those genes to my uncles and my uncles passed it to me .



for example here is a foto of a mom that passed genes to her daughter.........








The same hair
skin color
eyes
nose ect....


WHY WOULD I LIKE TO BE CLONED ?


I would not like to be cloned because I think its wrong for the human being.And some times it can produce sickness to us, and because I like the way I am and I dont want an exact replica of me. :)

THANK YOU

ALEJANDRA PINEDA :)

my plant is Jessi

The first time day I planted my seeds of beans to grow and become a natural plant I expected that my plant would grow fast because i wanted to be relax. My plants name is jessi, because I think it is a beatiful name. My plant was made with bean seed, I colleted some bean seeds I put them in a plastic cup and after I put soil and I pour water for the plant. After I was worried because Jessi don't grow and day after day I was more and more woried but a friends of mine say me that I have to put my plant outside in the sun and I do exsacly that I put my plant in the sun and in that moment the things put better, the high of my plant incress. After I went to school and saw my plant Jessi was beautiful with leaves and so beautiful and day after day its high grew and grew but Im not satisfied because the smellwas very very bad I think it is because yester day rained too much and my plantgot that dirty water.

GENES AND GENETIC INHERITANCE

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THIS?
DNA is present in each of our cells, and it contains all of the
information that makes us human.
Everyone has two copies of every gene; one inherited from the mother, and one inherited from the father.
Genetic inheritance is the transmission of genetic material from parent to offspring.
Almost all physical traits and many personality traits and unique abilities are found in the genes .
I look like my dad in the face and other caracteristics, but I has some things similar off my mom.
DO I LIKE TO BE CLONED?
No I won´t like to be cloned.
Because every human being is unique and unrepeatable, each of us has their own characteristics, such as love,affection, intelligence and family.


Why do i look like this?

I look like this because my parents passed on their genes to me, so i got a different trait from each one of them. When the spermatozoid enters into the ovule 23 chromosomes from each of the parents are put inside the ovule. Those little chromosomes contain each all of the DNA that will make us. Inside the 46 chromosomes that are inside the ovule each has, one the the genes that will give us our look.


Would i like to be cloned?

No, i would not like to be cloned because if i where to be cloned there would be an exact copy of me with all my traits likings and abbilities, so when i played soccer we would fight for who would be the goalkeeper. There would be a big chance that my friends would replace me for my clone, so it would be very frustrating because he would be exactly like me.

ciense homework






this is me
1. this of is my sister here and the other photo I am, my mom and my sister as we wear all are like we have the same jenes I mom that my sister has but jenes of my father who of my breast and in sten I exit with my breast which of my father, in other things like the hands of all in my family am almost equal because, not it but I that I am as I am because God me iso thus but what is not itself because we cannot leave as our parents want that we leave like: forts, without diseases, intelligent, etc…
2. no, Ywill not like to be clonado so that I do not want that some one like to somebody it does not deform or it has something extra nor something that lacks or worse than alcanse to only live or few years months or hours and the less the worse ones than are minutes or seconds.
I believe that all we must have compromisode to only use that of the cloning in a while of energency like that no longer we pruned ourselves to also reproduce or any other thing or problem and the scientists to can bencomprometer itself to just like to and the owner of this writing is:
ALEJANDRO NIÑO.
thanks for read

martes, 8 de febrero de 2011


I do not like me cloning because I suddenly could be deformed if it is not cloning also see no sense would have more people identical to me, that I like to be unique and special and not like other people with my same face, my family, parroted me also not is would grow that another equal, person without parents as those who have and didn't know if that other be is my brother then my answer is no because I just want to be I and anyone I don't want me cloning I like as I am.

Why I Look Like This ?

Why Do I Look Like This ?

I look like this bacause I have the genes of my parentes 23 of my dad and 23 of my mom.

This make I look like I look !

When the 23 + 23 join they make me and they make my charcteristics, like :

My eye color

My hair color

And other more

The genes give me all the characteristics, they are Dominant or Recessive of my family

That is the reason of why I look like I look !


Would I Like To Be Cloned ?

My answer is No

Because I think cloning living things are not a good idea

Cloning living thing can affect us, because

Clones are ecual to you so if you die your clone will die

You can´t clone a clone !

Cloning humans is dangerous because your clone can have a lot of imperfections in his/her sistems !

So I think I don´t need a clone !


My Reflection !

I know I need to love how and who I am becuase im the unique person in the World !

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THIS? WOULD I LIKE TO BE CLONED?

I look like this because my parents, grandparents, etc, they passed me the gene of their eyes color, hair color, hands, skin color, nose, mouth, temperament, personality, etc.
For example my eyes are brown this gene is from my mother because she has it brown and my father green, my personality is from my father since I am like him. Sometimes I am like this because I want to be unique and because I like the clothes that I wear and all my things I like them.
I don't want to be cloned because I want to be unique and no more can be like me, other thing is that am not in favor of clonation because this is a process that affects the perpetuation of species since some species can not reproduce themselves and because of that this process results negative for the life nature for example in the human being is necessary the reproduction for the perpetuation of all the specie.
Other argument against my clonation is the possibility to have kids with similar personality or body but not equal because all people have to be different in some aspects and clonation reduces that characteristic and my children will have some aspects like me but others will be different.

This is my and my father:










FABIANA JUANICOTENA

WHY I LOOK LIKE THIS BECAUSE

I look like this because in genetic i must have the information of my family. All began in the process of reproduction when the ovule { female reproductive cell } join with the spermatosoid { male reproductive cell } when the two reproductive cells join form a new cell with all the information given by adn. So i took 50% of chracteristics of my dad and 50% of my mom. My parents at the same time have take genetic information of their parents as a resoult i must have genetic information from several generation, i can have features of my parents, my grand parents, great parents, uncles, aunts and cousins. in a moment i must have similar features from my dad and other times to my mom. As i take diferent chracteristics from each one i am diferent this makes me being unique person. I would not like the scientist clone me because i am a unique person if they clone me i will not be unique and i will suffer a depresive situation

Why I'm Like This?

Today in class, we were talking about why I am like this, and I thought it’s very interesting how genetics can form a new human-being, I love when Betty explain when the fecundation is realizing like if spermatozoid count like 32 and ovule also 32, and we the fecundation start they make a new specie with 64 chromosomes.

Since I was a little kid if asked my dad and my mom, why I’m like this, and they answer me things that doesn’t have sense, but know I understand why, I like how can my DNA can tell all my life. I’m like this because genes of my family are transmitted to me, my eye color, my hair color, my hair shape, etc… Because genes of my mom and my dad get together, is the reason I am like I am.

Since I was a little kid if seen clone’s like strange things, but know I see them like a big problem, but a good solution. Yes, I would like to have a clone because if I have a very bad sickness I would make my clone come and give me blood, or whatever thing I need, and then I would be good.

genetic report

I look like this because my mother and my fathers genes make my eyes color is brown, that the color of my hair is black, my skin is a little bit dark ,my dad has really big hands and feet.
it wouldn't make sense if my parents are white and I am black, (unless i would be adopted, but i am not.)
our genetic code makes as similar to our parents, that is why I have my father's eye color, my father's hair color and texture, but a similar face to my mother's face.
I have the same voice my father had when he was eleven years old, I also like most of the things he likes, and his temperament.
I am also thin as my mother, we have similar teeth.
another topic about genetics is cloning, if I would like being cloned is in part yes and no, yes because I would have a servant that would do homeworks for me, while I play or see T.V. or something like this, but even he would learn and I would stay whit out learning. I would also tell no because if (a fantastic supposition) the clone envies my life and takes my place in the world or murders me well I would not like that.

I want to be cloun?

I look lake a deportisit because i all the time use cloth of deportists because a love soccer and my hear gave a cresta and que cloth i most like is of esports. I will like to be cloun because wen a going to play soccer in my apartamen i am the only one that want to play soccer because my brother dont want to play with me. and because i can be vetter in all the thing bat more in soccer and also because i will be more happy in my live because i have many problems of school family and friends i can be more happy because a can have my cloun that can be with me when i got problems or i am sad because my father my mom start to fight. and also because he wil be all the time with my like a friend and i wil be very very happy, and i wil never be boring sad and i can bea vetter human beaing that help others be respectfull and the best friend, brother.

WOULD I LIKE TO BE CLONED AND WHY I AM LIKE THIS?

In part i would like to be cloned because with a clone i had to do nothing except rest play and all the things i wanted to do, and no because that clone could do bad things and all the people that was affected for that would think that i did all that bad things, but even if i say it was my clone, no one would bealive me because the posibilities that a human clone survives are less than one hour and also the scientists havent cloned a human succsesfully. And that clone would not have the same personality or cualities that i have or that i can have in the future, it would see like me in the outside , but in yhe inside it would be completely different as me , and i dont really think that a clone have feelings; If scientists couldnt make a living thing that cant reproduce (something that it can be manage by science) they wouldnt even make a clone of wathever living thing with feelings(one thing that even science can copy). I think i am like this beacause the genes from my parents or my grand parents were transfered to me like the color of eyes (from my mother) , the skin color (of my grandfader) ETC...
