This week in science #9

        This week in science we had to dissect an animal and I had a perch, but I haven't dissected because I didn't feel well doing that. But I saw the inside parts of the perch. And my partner Ni took out the inside parts with Charles.We had to find out if it was a felmale or male. Mine was a male perch. Then I labled the pictures we took.

        What I learned in science was where of the body of the animal we had to cut it up. I learned how to tell what kind of gender it is. Something i'm not sure about is how the inside parts are so confusing. I wonder why they smelled like that. I finally understand how to dissect.

This week in science #8

  













   Me and my partner, Angel and Ni, dissected a crayfish and cricket. I labeled all four pictures the antennaon both dorsal view and Ventral and side view. Some features that crayfish and a cricket have are antennle, eye, rostrum, cheliped , middle leg, cercus, lambrum, ocellus. I searched a crayfish environment they live in any kind of water except for salt water. And crickets live along roads, warm places, damp place.Some of the adaptions of a crayfish is that they have very large claws like a lobster and can swim backwards very quickly. And a crickets adaption is that they adapt by the surroundings of them.The antenna is proximal  to the cricket and crayfish face. The middle leg of a cricket is posterior to the stomach.

      I noticed that when you dissect a cricket you could see the guts but on a crayfish you really can't. I'm still unsure about why you couldn't open the crayfish with the knife? I learned how to dissect a Worm and I saw what it has inside of it mostly poop. I never knew that a worn can be really big i think it was like 6-7 inches long. Dissecting an animal is kind of gross.
