Today in class we did an exprimetent the digestive process. We had to cups called Blood stream 1 and Blood stream 2.To do this expriment we used enzymes (meat tenderizers) and gelatin. we mixed the enzymes in with the gelatin and we watched it,during that we have a cup that just had gelatin in it. For the first fifteen minutes nothing really happend to the gelatin, but the enzymes was sort of like making a bubble. After that fifteen minutes we had another fifteen minutes and during that th enzymes and gelatin were seperating and it also was leaking through the coffe flitter. I think that the enzymes chanced the first cup because it started to leak a whole bunch and the gelatin didn't leak as much.
On January 30 we went to the Field Museum. During the second half of our field trip we went up stairs to a metorite lab. There we met Jim he was one of the people there who worked with the metorites. That whole time we talked about metorites and carters. I Think we took a day off for that because it was so cool to hear about metors and the different tpyes. We even learnd there was a metorite that came down into a farmers farm and it was so heavy they had to build the tourist atrraction around the metorite,soon it became lighter because people kept taking a little bit to take home with them. I think that it is a good idea to spend money to research on these metorites because it is important to learn about whats up in space and why it came down and it is also cool to just see it and learn about the history of were it landed
On January 30 we went to the Field Museum. During the first half before lunch we went to see the earth and the development of the earth its self. We went to see all about the dinosaurs and all the extinction that has happened since the world started. We even got to touch the oldest thing we will ever touch a meteorite that came down when the earth was just being created. During the tour are docinte Dennis he told us all about the dinosaurs and the being of the world. During the whole morning I think that the whole purpose off taking off that day of school because in the next unit were going to learn about the earth and how all of the water got there. Dennis told us about how sciencist's are trying to find out how the water on earth got there like the 7 oceans.
