TWIS #6

            This week in science we worked on a dichotomous keys. On the 7th we did two different ways of asking dichotomous questions. We were trying yo figure out what flavor jelly belly's we had. The two different ways were the flow chart style and the list style. Also on monday we worked on a project to see if crickets like damp or dry surface by watching and timing what they did.


To the left is a picture of a dichotomous key example.

            I learned this week how to do a dichotomous key the list style. I always thought it would be complicated and I have seen it done before but i never actually tried it. Also i learned that crickets seem to becalm insects and don't really move much unless they feel danger. I had an aha moment when we did the flow chart because i realized how easy it really was.
