Making My Roller Coaster Website

When I was making my roller coaster website I noticed that some of the information had to do with science. For example, we had to write how force was being used, and how Newtons laws were being used. Force was being used because when the marble drops and force pulls it down which makes it go faster. Newtons 1st law are used because the marble will remain at rest until an outside force pulls it down the roller coaster. Newtons 2nd law is used because force mass and acceleration are related. The mass shows how much force must be used. The amount of force can make the marble go faster or slower. Newtons 3rd law is used because when force is pushing the marble down fristion is also slowing it down. So with ever reaction there is an opposite reaction. So when I made my roller coaster website I learned lots of information.

Grunting For Worms

Worms are one of the most useful things to use for catching fish. However, people found a faster quicker way they put iron on a wooden stick and it catches all the worms. People had to have a permit to hunt for earthworms. Which are called Diplocardia mississippiensis. These worms can go up to a foot long. When the hunters worm grunt the vibration is caused by moles which eat the earthworms. Also, the worms are afraid of moles so when it vibrates the worms think that is the mole so they come to the surface which lets the earthworm hunters catch there worms.
