Ecosystem Blog.

I learned about a lot of ecosystem, like tundras and deserts, rainforests and plains, and more! A tundra is basically a desert, only that it has snow instead of sand and cold instead of warmth. Rainforests and plains are very different. If the two of them had the same type of rain storm, both would react differently to the same thing. That is because that these biomes have different animals, plants and terrain. taking a prairie dog and a squirrel and switching them would NOT be  a good idea. They wouldn't last long, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to eat, how to defend from predators, the list goes on and on. Take humans. Taking someone from one city, county, country, and putting him (or her) into a different city, county, or country will not have good results.

That is a sum of what I learned. Adios!

Cow Eye Dissection.

Yup. I. Dissected. A. Cow. Eye. And. A. Grasshopper. And. It. Was....
AWESOME. Really Cool. I got to look at the retina, cornea, pupil, lens. and iris. Cows can only move their eyes up and down, side to side. And not in combination. However, they can see in the dark, to watch out for predators. Then we did a Grasshopper, which had two set of wings, but one of which worked. The other was for protecting the working ones, the hind wings. The protectors were fore wings. I got to look at the air sack, and the inside of the head, thorax and abdomen. They also have a compound and simple eye!

Yup, dissecting is really cool. I'll be blogging about a mouse next time I do! Adios!
