What I know about living things:

• Living :nutrients
• made of cells
• Produce some kind of waste
• Plants produce oxygen waste and take in carbon dioxide
• Animals produce carbon dioxide waste and take in oxygen
• Living things:
• 1) Grow!
• 2) Reproduce!
• 3) Made of cells!
• 4) Need water!
• 5) Excrete waste!
• 6) Take in nutrients!
• all animals, bacteria, fungi and plants are living things

What I want to know about living things:

• How many fish species are there?
  
• Do our cells look very similar to monkey cells since we came from monkeys and we're both animals and have animal cells?
• Would a plant with like a millimeter of sunlight every day grow, stay the same or die?
• Have human cells always looked the same throughout history?
• Would a cell- less person be nothing or a bunch of bones?
• Are bones from graves actually dead cells?
• Do even bacteria and that tiny stuff in your body need water?
  

Science Goals

1) A science goal I have for this year is keeping my notebook neat and tidy, and to try my best to keep it from tearing apart. Last year my notebook wasn't best quality and the back came off, and that sort of stopped me from trying to make it organized. Even if my notebook is a lot better quality this year, the back falling off isn't going to mess with my organization skills!

2) Another science goal I have for this year is to do more things online; like lab reports, all current events, reflections and other assignments. This shouldn't be that hard considering I have a school laptop! I'll make my work neater and I'll improve my (not so good) tech skills!

3) My last science goal for this year is to take the huge dragon/ lizard/ big gecko/ iguana home!
