Zebrafish

 Michael - Zebrafish live in a river in india. And zebrafish are transparent. They live in India where there is freshwater. Scientists study zebrafish because they are transparent.  Zebrafish is 2.5cm to 4cm long. In its larval stages it is transparent and as it matures to an adult it develops stripes that run along the length of the body and look blue in colour. The zebrafish are called embryos; the egg has three layers: The single cell. The yolk and the protective membrane. And it takes 3 or 4 days for the egg to hatch and the zebrafish lifespan is 2 to 7 years. After scientists breed about a hundred or thousands of zebrafishes killed them and looked at them under a microscope to study them. E.g cutting the head off the body, sagittal means cutting in half and vertically E.g cutting the left side away from the right side. Different types of dye to see different body parts like the eyes then the scientist do pictures.

Once upon a time

 Once upon a time there were 4 boys called Fereti, Mesley and Michael. They were planning to go skydiving because they wanted to spend time with each other. 

Wesley’s age is 25, his job is chief and boxing. Michaels job is sports and chief and his age is 24 . Cedric's job is at the airport, he is 23 years old. Fereti is scared of heights so we let him face his fear.

When the boys left to go skydiving something bad happened. That thing that was bad was a fire. The boys went to the plane and saw a bush fire near the plane cause the plane was near the bushes. When Wesley spotted the bush fire he dialed 111 fast as possible. And Michael stopped the car and turned around. After 20 minutes no policemen or firefighters  showed up so Michael and his friends went to the fire engine place and reported to them fast. And then they went to the police station because the bushfire was about to touch all of the planes. The fire made a big explosion cause of the plane that was next to the bush. When the police and the firemen went to the rescue they couldn’t take the fire out so the rain came down.

The rain was pouring down and the rain helped cause it was taking out the fire. And god helped the policemen and the firefighters cause the angles were with them 100%. When the fire ran out the policemen and the firefighters were laughing cause they didn’t take out the fire.

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals. 

• Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom 
• Etc means etcetera
• Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West. 

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:

keep ponds clean or fish get sick.

Conclusion

Joan wiffen was a fossil explorer and a dinosaur hunter

Joan wiffen was born 4 feb 1922, she lived in NZ; her husband is  pont wiffen and her two kids names are christopher and judith. Joan wiffen job was a runner in defence headquarters. She died in 20009. Her fossils were kept safe. 

Joan wiffen found fossils in rocks to use good tools to open the rock up. After they find a fossil they carry it on their car then they take it to the dinosaur,fossil museum. She wasn't the only one to find fossils, mary anning was a fossil hunter to.

Mary anning,Richard owen,joan wiffen and Dr Ralph molnar where the people who discovered fossils and dinosaur bones like sauropod, theropod and pterosaur. They all studied about fossils and dinosaur bones, which means that they are called paleontologists.

All of the fossils they discovered were at the museum Te Papa. and its nice and safe. Now we all know that we will remember them and they will be famous, fossil hunter.

Dinosaur knowledge

Prior Knowledge	In 2 weeks, we learnt that...
Animal Predator Dino is the root word ‘Saurs’ means something Species  Extinct  Huge Large bones Long necks Eggs  Sharp teeth Long tails Eat people Different kinds Spikes Horns Mammals 4 legs	Bipedal means 2 feet and quadruped means 4 feet. Some dinosaurs are bipedal and some are quadrupeds. Some can change between the two stances. They are sturdy. Theropod is a 3 clawed dinosaurs Dinosaurs are warm-blooded, which means their blood temperature is always the same Carnivore means a meat eater Herbivore means a plant eater Omnivore means it can eat plants and meat Some dinosaurs are huge and some are small. Typically, huge dinosaurs were sluggish (slow).  Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. They started existed 230 million years.  They died because of an extinction event, most people think this was because a meteor hit the Earth.  Dinosaurs legs go out the bottom of their hip bones, whereas reptiles bones go to the side of their hips. Reptiles do not have an extra hole in their skull, but dinosaurs do.  Mary Anning found lots of fossils on a cliffside in England in the 19th century. She was born in 1799 and died in 1847. She survived a lightning strike as a baby. In 1824 she found the first fossil.	Non-avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs that are not birds. Avian means birds. Metabolism means how fast or slow your body converts food into energy Diverse means a big range Modifications means changes. Dinosaurs have modifications such as spikes, armour, horns or crests.  Clade means family. Lineage means ancestors/descendants  Paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including dinosaurs There are 4 main groups of dinosaurs; theropods, sauropods, ankylosaurus and pterosaurs. Titanoboa was top of the food chain after the dinosaurs died. It killed people by constricting people. It spent most of its time in the water because it was super heavy. It was 13m long, as big as a bus.  Hominins existed when 7-6 million years ago, the first humans to walk on 2 feet.  People did not exist when dinosaurs existed.	Adaptation is something that changes over time.  Ecology - how animals relate to each other Fossils are made when dinosaurs die and their bones get trapped in rock or mud. The bones break down over time but leave a mould, which is filled with rock. This becomes the fossil.  Dinosaurs sometimes eat each other.  There were 3 periods of time that have dinosaurs. This is called the ‘age of dinosaurs’ also known as the ‘Mesozoic Era’; Triassic period, Jurassic period, and Cretasous period.  Then there were 3 more periods in time, “Age of mammals”, also known as ‘Cenozoic Era’; Paleogene Period, Neogene period and  Quaternary period. Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, including Antarctica. Joan Wiffen found the first dinosaur fossil (a theropods tailbone) in NZ in 1975, in Hawkes Bay. She died in 2009.  Dinosaurs laid eggs and they lived in family groups.

There was a nice, accurate 11 year old boy that was named Peter in a small village called Ansvill.

The small boy walked a long way when suddenly he stopped at a bright rose red tent.

The little boy said .“Should I go inside”the boy said.

Then he walked slowly across to the tent.He stared at everyone, he looked lonely, shy, afraid and nervous. Peter was terrified and shy to go in the tent. He was lost and he had no one to live with. He was staring at the tent like a picture. Nothing could help cause he can't do this anymore so he felt like he was losing all the faith in the lord so his tears were starting to pour.
