Science Aquatic Protists

The protist that you see in the video here is a Tubiflex worm. A multicellular worm that is mainly found in ponds. Tubiflex worms move through the water by franticly moving in "S" curves. Which not only helps for transportation, but also eating. Some interesting facts about this multicellular is that it also carries around tape worm.






The protist that you see in the video here is a     Daphnia Pulex, a multicellular organism. It is found in water bases. The Daphnia Pulex can't do with stong currents for their small legs and antennas used to help them swim. So small pools mainly do for them. Daphnia have a diet of bacteria, fine detritus, and small algae particles.The daphnia pulex was the first crustacean to have its genome sequenced.

Math Reflection


Today in math we had to solve the equation 3/4 divided by 1/8. How I figured out this problem is I did the reciprocal system, an easy way to remind me how to properly do it is CCF ( Copy, Change, Flip). How it works is you keep the first number they same, (copy) then you change the order of math. So, we will change the division to multiplication. Lastly, you flip the number, so instead of 1/8 we will flip it to 8/1. So multiply 3/4 by 8/1 and there is your answer. Which is 6!

Among The Free Book Review

Over the Winter Break I reread one of my favorite books, it's called Among The Free By Margaret Peterson Haddix. It is apart of the Among The Hidden series. I would rate this book and series a five star.

I can't really summaries just this book because it is the last book in the series, and it will be very confusing. So... In the city they live in, they cannot have more then two children because they government believes that the city will over populate and no one can keep up with farming food for them. So, they can only have two kids. But this family has "adopted" (you will figure out what that means in the book) this boy named Luke, but he is a third child. And keep him hidden. He figures there is something wrong with their neighbors. He takes a trip there and finds a pleasant surprise. And that is how this entire series happened of conflict, sadness, happiness, etc.

Some of the main author's craft I really like in this book was how at least in every other page there was a cliff hanger which made me always want to keep on reading. As well as, the emotion she puts in the book really makes you feel it in person, which is what I love in a book.

I would really recommend this book for people who enjoy more of like a not so happy book, feeling the emotion in books, and especially cliff hangers. Enjoy!
