Anteaters vs Aardvark – Step It Up

For this SLJ task I rated both of  species ranking them in which had better accessories like claws and ears, which had better fur, which one was most active throughout day and night and lastly which one had the best habitat. For most of them I chose the Anteater, in my opinion I think overall the Anteater won because, suited more of the questions given, and it suited most of them.

For this task I found it more fun because I got to rate both of the species and they had their cons and pros.

The Lions Place in the Food Web – Step It Up

For this SLJ task I made a food web for a lion. To do this I copied a Google slide deck with the animals already on there. After then I made different colored lines indicating the relationship between each animal in the food web. Then I put the animals into their own category being, preyed by Lions, preying on Lions, or both. Doing that I decorated my slide show and completed it, also a fun fact about Zebras is that they  use their stripes to help camouflage in long grass and confuse predators.

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn how to make a food web.

Megalodon and More – Step It Up

For this SLJ task I made a cartoon Google drawing of an extinct animal of my choice. For this I chose the Woolly Mammoth and some cool and interesting facts about it is that they were roughly around the size of  modern African elephants, but adapted to the Ice Age having 20 inch Long fur and small ears to conserve heat, A fact about their husks is that they were 15 feet made for clearing snow and fighting.

I enjoyed this task because it was fun making a cartoon version of an extinct animal.

Prey Vs Predator – Kick Start

For this task I learnt about animals that either prey on lions or be preyed on by lions , sometimes each of them both do. First we got a list of seven animals, with these animals we researched whether these animals were the prey, predator, or  both.

A prey is the animal that gets hunted to survive, but on the other side who hunts the prey they are called the predator. Two facts I learnt about both of these types of animals is that, a prey has evolved defense far better than a predators and have sharper senses like sight, hearing, and smell. Two facts about predators is that predators can keep prey populations from growing too large, and they use many methods to hunt including stealthy stalking, or ambushing.

I found this task fun because I got to learn about predators and their skills and the same with preys.

Project Tiger – Kick Start

For this SLJ task I made a file about any tiger species of our choice. I chose the Siberian Tiger because it is the worlds largest cat. To start we made the file on Google doc, our first step was to put a picture of the tiger we chose, following up we found facts and information about the animal. I chose to find information about the physical charsteristics, dietary and the current population status. To finish the task I added photos.

I found this task interesting because the Siberian tiger has much fun facts and interesting ones.

Octopus Oddities – Kick Start

For this octopus design I chose one that didn’t show much detail and I gave it a simple clean skin color that didn’t need that much shading. I made the eyes black because it was not hard to do. Three things I learnt about octopus is that they have three hearts, they are very smart, and they have very large brains.


I found this task fun because it was cool to color in simple octopuses, I found it interesting because I got to learn fun facts about octopus.

Legs Legs Legs? – Step It Up

For this SLJ task we had too make prosthetic legs for a dog named turbo. Turbo wasnt born with any front legs. So we had to make a prosthetic leg for ideas that people could make, my one I chose it to be voice activated so he could only just bark and could use the legs for its suppot?

I enjoyed this task because it was fun using my creativity to make a leg for turbo the dog. I found this interesting because I had to think of different ideas for the dog to be stable and still have support at the same time.

Legs Legs Legs – Kick Start

For this activity we needed to design a unique prostethic leg for Mosha, An Elephant that stood on a landming and lost one of her legs.

I chose this color because it looked like a nice and simple design for Mosha. 

Legs Tally – Step it up

For this task we learnt about centipedes and some facts, we read and watched videos to gain knowledge focusing on the topic of centipedes. A fact I found interesting about centipedes is that they preferer dark damp spots to live in.

I found this task fun because it was fun to gain more knowledge about centipedes, and it iwas interesting because some insects don’t prefer dark damp places.
