What ideas did you learn this week?
This week in science class we learned some new names for DNA pats and where they are located. The names we learned were, base, codon, gene, DNA strand, and chromosome. We learned that three bases is a codon, a codon is in a gene, a gene is in a DNA strand, and a DNA strand twisted up is a chromosome. Another thing we talked about were prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. We practiced by writing examples. We also wrote down organelles and discussed if they were bacteria, plant, or animal cell.
How did we learn these ideas?
We learned most of our ideas from class work. When we learned about DNA and its parts we discussed it all together and the teachers explained. Also, in class we made a cart listing organelles. We wrote if they were prokaryotic or eukaryotic and if they were plant, animal, or bacteria cells. This helped us study for the test and understand it more.
Why is it important to know these ideas?
THis week was really important to start understanding things because we have a test coming up on Monday. If we didn't understand everything that we learned, or payed attention you would be very confused and have a lot of trouble when it comes to tests and quiz's.

Science blog #11
What ideas did you learn?
This week in science class we talked a lot about DNA and RNA. We learned about what we saw when we did the experiment with DNA a little more. That helped us understand what RNA looks like and how its different from DNA. We also discussed the four different parts of DNA. They are, adanine, thyunine, cytoine, and guaine. Another thing we got to do was understand more of the parts of DNA. For example, we got to look at the base pairs and discuss how they are broken up into two parts. We also talked about the sugar backbones and how every part is used.
How did we learn these ideas?
We learned our ideas about DNA and RNA by doing lots of class discussions during class. This helped us because we all got to talk about what we though and if we had a question, people from our class would help explain and so would the teachers. Another way we learned our ideas were from class work and homework. This helped because we got to do some research and that told us a little more.
Why is it important to know these ideas?
It is important to know about DNA and RNA because all humans have it and its important to know what is happening inside us and how things work. Its also important to know these things because you want to know what the names of things are. The reason we need to know these things are for tests and quiz's and if someone were to bring it up you would want to know what they are saying and what they are talking about. Even if it comes up in the future.

What science ideas did you learn?
This week in science class we learned a little more about respiration and photosynthesis. We also learned more about chloroplast and mitochondria, and what they are. Then we learned about products and reactants. Another thing we did was draw a picture of a plant cell and discuss the parts and what they do. Something new we discussed was DNA. We did an experiment and the next day we saw the results. That helped us understand more about DNA.
How did you learn these ideas?
We learned these ideas in many ways. One way was by class discussions. That helped us understand everything more because we got to all say our ideas and ask each other questions. Another way we learned our ideas were from homework's. That shows us what we know and then we talk about it in class. He then explains it to us. Also another thing we do that is helpful, is do experiments. This allows us to see the results to what happened.
Why is it important to know these ideas?
It is important to know these ideas because if it is on a quiz or a test. Also if you want to become a doctor or something that involves knowing this, like a teacher its good to know. Its also good to know because in the future it might come up and it will be helpful to know. We even understand it more when we discuss, do homework, and experiments.
