Easter party in New Jersey

Today, at 1:00 pm me, my mom, my sister and my dad took our rented Nissan car and went to Alpine, New Jersey for an Easter party! I thought that it would be my family and the family that owned the house but, I was incorrect. I made a nine year old friend named Lucas. Oh, I saw that the house had a backyard and in the backyard there was a playground and a trampoline. For most of the time I was on the trampoline but sometimes I would be at the playground or the food counter. When the party was over, we left and headed home.

BioBus daphnia day

Today, I went to Sarah the science teacher for spring vacation camp. The plan was that the BioBus would come to our building and we could go inside it. The BioBus instead of gas uses... FRENCH FRIES COOKING OIL! On the bus we learned about Daphnia (da-fni-a). These are some facts I learned about daphnia:
  1. they are animals (of course)
  2. they have an exoskeleton
  3. bigger fish eat them
  4. they grow & reproduce
  5. they eat micro-organisms
  6. their habitats are freshwater places
If you ask what is a exoskeleton? Well, A exoskeleton is a skeleton outside the body.
