Week Eight

This week was very short and mostly a repeat of what we learned before.
We first did a little research on paramecium and answered these questiopns:
"Is paramecium an animal cell?" and "How are paramecium moving?"
Paramecium aren't an animal cell or a plant cell, they're in a category called protozoa. Despite this, they are most like an animal cell with their function and organelles. Paramecium have little cilia all around a slick, hard shell like cover which helps them move. They have a very trial-and-error kind of process when moving around. They also move very quickly from place to place so ypou have to be quick when looking at one.
Also this week we did a chart comparing and contrasting animal, plant, and bacteria cells. (I emailed you the chart because it wouldn't paste into the document.)
Another thing we did was try to find paramecium in pnd water. We found some little circular things flying around. It looked like they hadd a bunch of little legs on the side.
