Honey Bee Project!
Reflection
Honey bees are a very important part of our ecosystem and our economy. They pollinate very large amounts of our crops such as almonds, peaches, grapes, apples, apricots, and many more. If bees were to go extinct these foods and more would be very hard or impossible to come across, it would also plunge our economy. Over the last years more than 40% of bee colonies have died in the US. This is mainly caused by use of pesticides, and a disease called colony collapse disorder. Honey bees are of great importance in all aspects.

Dissection Project!
Reflection
I chose to dissect a cat for the dissection project. I learned about the anatomy of a cat and how it is similar and different to other mammals. We learned about the digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, the urinary system, and the functions of all of the organs and some of the muscles. I learned that I am a diligent worker when it comes to working with disgusting dead animals, it gave incentive to get everything done on time and early so we didn’t need to be around the dead things as often. I didn’t know I could memorise that many things in such a short amount of time as well.
