Plants get their matter from energy there effects do the same thing and helps the plant grow.
Plants food is sunlight and carbon dioxide.
They are called producers because they produce so many things like flowers, leave and so much more.

Questions

Answers

On the human food label:

How do we find the energy (calories) per serving?
How do we find the matter (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals)?
Where can we locate the list of ingredients?

On the pet food label:

Where can we locate the list of ingredients?
How do we find the percentage of different types of matter in the food?

Questions

As a result of looking at food labels, what did you learn about food?
Look at the ingredients of one human food label. Write down the food name. What ingredients came from animals?
What ingredients in the above food label came from plants?
What similarities and differences did you notice between the human food and pet food labels you looked at?
Choose an animal/insect from the ecosystem walk. What do you think it eats? Explain what you think it gets from its food.

We look on the label to see what it tells us. Sometimes at the bottom most times but others it is at the top.
It says total fat so that can tell you if we should eat it.
On the back of the box or bag. It is usally a good size but the smaller pacaging you get the smaller label.
On the top of the label.
It says it and then has a bunch of dots and then the percentage.

What is the poem about?
What is its subject?

She was talking about the sweat and how it was dripping down his necak. He is the engen of his own skate borad.

A mom that put a spell around the house while they were on the porch. I bet the small round bodys clinging to the screen was bugs.

How does the poem look on the page?

The skateborad is very short. He was going very fast probably at the scate park.

The porch becomes there living room because they spent so much time there. The mom is being weird with the spell and how she can do that.

Personarl supplies

work supplies

Picture of family, iPad mini , pencils, hair things, books, mars books, head phones, mars proof iPad case, iPad charger.

.hand held Radio, wether radio, google glasses, a GPS, a storm teller, storm suit, jars, Wind gassers, thermometers.

Reflection questions

Choose 2 personal items to explain why your bringing them.
Explain how you plan to use the work supplies.

I think the picture of family is important because if I get home sick I can look at photo and feel a lot better. I think the other thing is the iPad mini because I can do so much with it.
I plan to use the supplies when I need them because I am just guessing what I need to bring. If I knew where would be no mars storms I would not bring the equipment I need. I was thinking when I chose them it is better to be prepared.
