What science ideas did you learn?

This week in science class we learned about the structure and function of a cell. We learned that they have DNA, they are made up of cells, convert agar into energy, and need energy. We also learned that they are non-living. Another thing we did this week was work on our project, we had to write down what we wanted to test, to find more information on how they got sick. We could use a petri dish to experiment or we could use something else we learned this week, called a wet mount.

How did you learn these ideas?

One way we learned these ideas were from homework and class discussion. Learning about what a cell is and the structures was a homework assignment, but the next day we talked about it in class. We also wrote a list of the structure and function of a cell in class. For how to use a petri dish and a wet mount, Mr. Finley showed us in a group.

Why is it important to know this idea?

It is important to know how to use a petri dish and wet mount. Its important to know because if you are doing an experiment or would like to test something in the future for school and you need to know it could be helpful. Its also helpful right now because, to test things for our project we need to know.
