Three parts of a cell are a nucleus, a cell membrane, and ER. These are only some parts of a cell, since there are a lot more parts in there. A nucleus is basicallythe brain of the cell and is the one who will tell each of the organelles what to do. A cell membrane is a gate that blocks what is bad outside a nd lets better things in. It is really a gate that allows or doesn't allow something in to the cell. These help keep things inside the cell like organelles from getting out and keeps other harm for matter from coming in. The ER is short for endoplasmic reticulum and is like a channel of tunnels throughout the cell that transport protien. There are two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum; rough and smooth. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached on to the inside of it.

                
Cells that are in your body do different things. You just can't feel them. They
are so microscopic that you can't see them with the naked eye. Under a
microscope you can see a wholo lot of cells. The cells that you will see most
often are red blood cells. When you cut your hand and blood seeps out, millions
upon millions of red blood cells pour out. In one drop, there are so many blood
cells that it would take a week to count them all, even under a microscope. The
red blood cells take the oxygen from your heart to the rest of your body.

                  
My favorite activity was the glogster poster. The poster helped me learn the six
charactaristics of life. Those are being made of one or more of cells, able to
reproduce, can sense and respond to change, have DNA, able to grow and develope,
and can use energy. What we did was created a digital poster and added photos
and videos, to make this learning tool for us. First, we had to write down a
summary about the different charactaristics of life. We took what we had written
inserted a text box and typed in the box. Then, we searched for videos and
pictures in a separate tab.

               I look like my mom more than my dad. Actually I have no idea how I look like my dad. My younger brother, Michael looks like him when he was a young boy, but I look like my mom. I have her blue eyes and her hair color. The one thing that I sharewith my dad, at least I think, is that I have a "mutant toe". That means that my second biggest toe is   growing a little too much, and has reached about my big toe. Other than that I can't think of anything else that I share in common with him. My mom and I get comments saying that we look a lot like each other. I don't know where mom gets her look from her parents.

 The displacement method is a way to find the volume of irregular objects. Let's say you have a lump of hardened clay. To find the volume of the clay, fill a graduated cyloinder with water and measure how high the water level is and figure out what do the incremants go by. The incraments are what the tiny measuring lines are for. Once the water has been measured accurately take the object you are finding the volume for and drop it in the water. The amount of water that went up is the volume of the clay.

 In science we are learning about estimating and finding out volume. Volume
is how much mass the object can hold. Two days ago we learned how to measure the
volume of cubes and rectangles. Today we learned about measuring liquid volume.
To measure liquid volume you look at the small curve or the lowest part of the
water or whatever it is that your On the cabinets were some areas where we could
practice to measure the volume of the cubes. We estmated the amount of mass it
could hold and most of the time I was way wrong. When you measur liqiuds you
have to find how many millilliters are in the quantity that the beaker, flask,
and graduated cylinder.
