Then you will write about what you've learned in the "Nature Camp" blog.
After you've written a paragraph about what you've learned you may add pictures and/or videos.

Hi!
Hi! My name is Lynsey.
hello i like transformers
The sun is the beginning of all food chains. The food chain can continue several times, but eventually ends. It ends with dead animals that are broken down an used as food by bacteria.
Producers. Producers are organisms such as plants that produce their own food. They are called producers because all of the ecosystem depends on them.
Consumers. Consumers are all the organisms that don’t make their own food.

In the life cycle, Butterflies and moths undergo complete metamorphosis in which they go through four different life stages. A butterfly or moth is emerging now from its egg. Now we see the caterpillar. Soon the pupa skin splits and the limp, damp butterfly crawls out-now with compound eyes, a proboscis for feeding and blood is pumping into them. A little warming from the sun and it is ready to fly off to feed and then lay its eggs. Butterflies only look like butterflies in the final stage. Birds, frogs, snakes, and insects also change as they grow.
These are the four steps of the life cycle:
1. Egg –A butterfly starts its life as an egg.
2. Larva –The larva (caterpillar) hatches from an egg and eats leaves or flowers almost constantly. The caterpillar molts (loses its old skin) many times as it grows.
3. Pupa – It turns into a pupa (chrysalis); this is a resting stage.
4. Adult – A beautiful, flying adult emerges. There is no growth during this stage. This adult will continue and reproduce.
There are five stages in the Life Cycle of a Frog:
1. Egg
2. Tadpole
3. Tadpole with legs
4. Young Frog or Froglet
5. Frog
1. Frogs and Toads lay many eggs because of hazards between and full grown frogness.
2. After a while from hatching, the baby tadpole still eats the remaining yolk that is actually in its gut!
3. In about 6 or 9 weeks, legs start to sprout. The head distinct and the body elongates.
4. In 12 weeks the tadpole has a tail stub that looks like a very small version of the adult frog.
5. In about 12 or 16 weeks, depending on water supply, the frog has completed the full growth cycle.
The rock cycle is a never-ending process by
which rocks are changed from one type to other .Three types of rock are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
I will tell you about igneous rocks. Igneous means fire-made. Igneous rocks are just hardened magma. One type is granite which is a coarse rock. Obsidian is volcanic glass. Basalt is a fine-grained rock.
The Water Cycle
Water doesn’t stay in the same place. It moves all around from place to place. This never-stopping rotation of Earth’s water is through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. This is called the water cycle.
1.Evaporation- Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes, and oceans. It turns it into vapor or steam. The steam leaves the water mass and goes into the air.
2.Condensation-Condensation is when water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds.
3.Precipitation-Precipitation is when so much water has condensed that the air can’t hold it any longer. The clouds get heavy and the water falls back to the Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
4.Then it starts all over again!
