Facts About The Hammerhead Shark

The HammerHeads eyes are placed in the sides os his head.It allows him to have a 360 view to the ocean or when hunting.The negative part about this is that he cant see in the middle because os his eyes.

As with all other shark species, Hammerhead Sharks have a special sense of feeling using electro receptors. This an organ called the Ampullae of Lorenzini. Sharks are able to pick up very small electrical pulses that all living things emit. In fact, they can sense the beating heart of a human from several miles away!

My Goals of Science
EC1. I can describe the main characteristics of living things.
They can reproduce.

EC3. I can explain the roles of autotrophs (producers) and heterotrophs (consumers) in ecosystems.

Autrophs are living things that can create their own food.Heterotrophs are living things that needs others to eat.

EC4. I can distinguish between producers, consumers and decomposers.

A producer it's an organism that produces their own energy,the consumer is an organism that need to eat others to get energy and decomposers are the ones that decompose.

EC5. I can distinguish between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

Herbivores are organisms that eat only plants.Carnivores only eat meat and Omnivores eat the both.

EC6. I can distinguish and give examples of abiotic and biotic factors in an environment

Abiotic are non- living things and biotic are living things for example temperature is abiotic and lions are biotic.

EC8. I can draw the carbon and water cycle and label its parts and processes.

EC10. I can outline the binomial system of nomenclature.

The binomial is actually the scientific name of some animal

EC11. I can construct a food web containing at least 10 organisms and label the trophic level of each organism, as well as their roles in the web.

EC13. I can explain the importance of photosynthesis to a food chain.

The importance of the photosyntesis is that it starts the energy in a food chain.The first one is the grass and it gets it's enrgy from the sun.

EC14. I can analyze the energy flow in a food chain

The way to see were energy flows is just by looking to the arrows.

EC16. I can evaluate the impacts of adding/removing populations to/of a food web.

Adding and removing populations from the food chain may over populate a specie.

I thought this article was very interesting because it showed me how the doctors killed people by medical mistakes. The life of people are in their hands and if they make a mistake the person may die and thats  happening, this article gives more information of events like that.

Expiration Fate: Can "De-Extinction" Bring Back Lost Species?

Scientist are thinking of bringing back extinct animal to life! Can you imagine Tasmanian Tigers and other ? They have already tried it once with a animal and it worked, but after 10 minutes it died by respiratory problems. Scientist counted it as a achivement and will keep trying to make this idea into reality.

If you want more information and animals read this article.
