This week in science #9

                                                   This is a picture of the frog cut open         

          

          This week in science I dissected a frog for the fist time. I actually liked it. I didn't think I would like it. Me and my partner Morayo took and drew pictures of the frogs. I took out every organ and took the arms off. The only thing that was left was the head, spine, and legs. For some reason I decided to pop the eyes. Weird.

          

          This week in science I learned that frogs eyes are actually blue. I learned that frogs have strong bodies from all the hopping they do. They have six packs. Which is also weird. I thought only humans could get that. I learned that a frog pretty much has the same organs we do but their organs are placed differently. I also learned that I love to dissect things and I want to do more. PLEASE DAVID GIVE US BETTER ANIMALS TO DISSECT !!
          The 2 organisms dissected at my table were the mouse and the frog. One part of the frog that the mouse had was the heart. They were both located around the neck of the organism. Another part was the stomach. They were both located in the middle area of the organism. The last part that im gonna talk about is the lungs. Both were located on the sides of the organism. The differences were the skin tone, size, shape, and other features. In other words the dont look alike at all.

           This week in science I dissected a Crayfish. Me and my partner Kendry split the Crayfish in half. But before we did that, we took pictures of it at different angles. After we cut it in half we moved some of the organs around inside each half. I don't know why I did it but I decided to pop its eye on the half that I had. The dorsal view of the fish basically shows the shell, eyes, and antenules. The antenules are proximal to the eyes. The fish needs these features to survive in its environment. The ventral view of the fish shows the eyes, antenules, and claws. Adaptation would be impossible without its claws because that's what it uses to fight off predators. The claws are long there for distal from the eyes. The crayfish lives in a watered environment. The crayfish have their claws that help them survive.
           I still wonder what the crayfishes brain looks like because I couldn't find it. I learned that Crayfish are like miniature lobsters. I learned that I like dissecting organisms with friends. My aha moment was when I witnessed Morayo and Melanies giant grass hopper squirt when she cut into it. The crayfish kind of reminds me of the plant investigation because if we didnt have patience on either projects, we would have messed up.
