Symbiotic Relationships

In science class, we have learned about symbiotic relationships. Mutualism, commensalism and parasitism are different forms of symbiotic relationships. Mutualism is when on organism benefits and the other organism isn't harmed. Commensalism is when both organisms benefit and neither is harmed. Lastly, parasitism is when a organism benefits while the other is harmed. In my opinion, if our teacher didn't teach us about symbiotic relationships, we wouldn't understand what they would mean. Finally, mutualism, commensalism and parasitism are all forms of symbiotic relationships.

BOOOOM BLOX PONE!!!Ω

In the best class with the best teacher ever, we played BOOM BLOCKS, in the one and only science class. Of course we played the game in science class with our teacher (name and address not available) and learned how science is involved with the game. The point of the game is to knock the blocks down without getting a -10 down too. The science in the game is to hit the blocks on an angle(science) to knock them down. In my opinion, without science, the game would be even harder. All in all the game that is for the nintendo wii, isn't just science but it is also fun.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 isn't just a European sports car that goes 202mph, it is also a giant chunk of technology and science. The exotic dream car is a new step in scientific technology for cars. This dream car can't go super fast if science was involved. When the designers were creating the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560, they had to make the car aerodynamic. The designers made the front of the car lower to decrease the amount of air that goes under the car, hitting the bottom of it which slows it down. On the hand, if the designers didn't lower the front of the car, the car wouldn't be as fast, which is what the press, magazine Publishers and customers of Lamborghini's or future customers want in an European sports car. In my opinion, since the designers made the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 aerodynamic, it became a big hit and that's what people want, so that's what Lamborghini did. All in all, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 isn't just an European sports car, it's also a giant step in the science of making cars that can exceed speeds of 200 mph.

Carbon Dioxide into FUEL?

It all starts with a Californian company which is trying to recycle carbon dioxide and make it into fuel. They plan on using the recycled carbon dioxide and turning it into high-class fuel and jet-fuel. Recycling the carbon dioxide and turning it into fuel will less polute the Earth. I believe that the recycling of carbon dioxide into fuel will be good for the Earth. Also, I believe that if countries around the world will try to recycle carbon dioxide, the world will become a better place and less poluted.

Nasa's Mars Missions

By next fall Nasa has a big plan for the red planet. Their plan includes a 1.8$ billion SUV size rover to the Red Planet MARS! Their rover is the size of an SUV and it is a research laboratory. This rover was made in Sweden. The Swedish hope to accomplish even more if they can send a squad shaped helper bots.

Math is....

I think math is complicated. Math is complicated because it has many numbers, many problems and there are different types of math to know. Math has all the numbers in the world and if you do a complicated problem, you can get any number. Next, there are so many problems and there are different types. Some problems are easy while others can be very challenging. Finally, there are a lot of different types of math, like middle school math is easy and honors algebra 2 is harder. That is why I think math is complicated.

Arctic Tale

Arctic Tales is a movie about a walrus and a polar bear. The walrus had to survive living in the group with other walrus's and there journey of finding food and land. On the other hand, the polar bear had to also survive the harsh winter with the goal of finding food. Then, when the polar bear is trying to find food and catches the scent of walrus and follows the walrus. Finally, the walrus reach the island but, auntie (the walrus's protector because she's a baby) sacrifice herself for the pack of walrus and the polar bears eats the walrus (after struggling to get the food from a male polar bear).

The kite experiment

In science class we had to make kites. The goal of making kites, was to make them fly and understand how they would fly. At first you would think your kite would fly but, when you would try to fly the kite, it wouldn't fly. Also, most of the kites wouldn't fly because there was no wind to lift it off the ground. Before, you would have to write a paragraph on why you would think the kite would fly. Finally, the next day our teacher Mrs. Rousseau gave us a work sheet on how a kite flies. And that was the kite experiment.

Social Studies Homework

The big jump in technology is the new advancement in cars. 30 years ago, it was hard for cars to go the speeds that they go now. For example, the new Corvettes can ago 180 through200 mph. Next, the cars used to be luxurious but now some cars have bars, t.v.'s and telephones! Finally, some cars now are hybrids and the run on electricity not the air polluting gasoline.

THE POPPING FUN LAB EXPERIMENT

In science class, we did a lab called the popping fun. In this lab we had to try to make a cork hit the window using baking soda and vinegar. We had to measure the baking soda and vinegar in graduated cylinders. Next, you would record your measurements on a table and wait to be called on. When Mrs. Roussae calls on you, one person holds the test-tube filled with baking soda or vinegar and the other person poors the baking soda or vinegar into the test tube. The person holding the test tube swifshoottly puts the cork on. Then, you wait for the cork to shoot of the test tube and hopefully hit the window. Soon after, you measure the that the cork went ( if it went at all) and record it onto a table and try to make the cork hit the window. Finally, when your done with one or two attempts, you make a conclusion on whats better, more baking soda or vinegar.

How we created our podcast Podcast

In science class, we had to make podcast. Making the podcast took a while but my partner and I pulled it off. First, we picked a name out of a bowl and we picked Alejandro Zaffaroni. We had no idea who this guy was so we typed his name in Wikipedia, and we found a lot of information on him. My partner and I agreed that we should do a news report idea. So, we jotted down some notes and made a script out of the notes. Next, came the time we recorded our voices on the laptop. Then, we fixed all the mistakes that we made and added some SOUND EFFECTS. It took a while to find the right SOUND EFFECTS but we pulled it off. Lastly, we uploaded our podcast, and we were finally done!

Did insects kill the DINOSAURS?

Scientist have a new theory as why the dinosaurs have died, and they found it in their poop[ fossilized poop]. As scientist studied dinosaur fossils, they have found in there fossilized poop is a bunch of insects. Some of the insects include ticks, nematodes,biting flies and other nasty intestinal parasites parasites during the Cretaceous period. Some of the insects can cause diseases and the dinosaurs couldn't fight it. Some scientist don't believe that insects killed the dinosaurs, but what do you believe?
