Monday was Memorial Day, so we didn't have school. On tuesday, we swithed the groups. I went to documentary. The website is called "Becoming Human", and it just had some videos and exhibits all about hominids and the ancient human/monkey common ancestor. We also did this on Wednesday.
I think that on Thursday we went over the answers for the classification homework from when we were in the classification group. This may have been on Friday because I usually mix up days, but I think it was Thursday. This is pretty much what we learned for the homework:
Carplus Lineaus was a Swedish botanist and physician. He attempted to give every known species a 2-part Latin name. Binomial nomenclature is the system he created. This is used to give each species a name. The first part of the name is the genus, and the second part is the species.
7 classifactions from largest to smallest: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species (King Philip Came Over For Good Spagetti)
What kingdom, phylum, class... do you belong: animalia, chordata, mammalia, primate, hominidae, homo, sapien
Human scientific name: Homo sapien
On Friday, we learned about the food chain. The food chain is the flow of energy through an organism. A food web is the flow of energy through a community. These are the symbiotic relationships: Parasitic is when the organism is gaining but the host is losing. Mutualistic is when both host and organism are gaining. Commensalistic is when the host is unaffected and the organism is gaining.
That is what we did this week.
