Colorado Teen Missing

About 25 years ago a young girl from Idaho Springs, Beth Miller, went out jogging and never returned home. It is believed that she was abducted, but police could not find out who abducted her. One person they suspect is a man from New Mexico, Edward Apodaca. But the police don't have absolute evidence against him. This case is still opened and unsolved. The police are asking anyone with information to contact their local law enforcement agency.

The Inauguration Of Barack Obama

The Inauguration of 2009 was held in Washington D.C. President Barack Obama was being Inaugurated. This Inauguration was very unique because Barack Obama was the first African American President Of the United States Of America. The Inauguration Is when the President who won the election is becoming the President Of the United States.
In my first article it was saying how he messed up the oath of office. During the Inauguration Barack Obama's speech was 20 minutes long. Also, later on in the ceremony Barack Obama made note to the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Obama used strong language in pledging to confront terrorism, nuclear proliferation and other threats from abroad. He said"you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.” I think this means not beat them like kill them but destroying all of the terrorism, and bombings.
In my second article it says what Obama is going to do for the world. In some states Obama renewed claim to foreign leadership. There has been high level calls that Mr. Obama accept that America’s days as the dominant superpower are over. “Obviously, there is a risk that we will expect too much of this president — that we will learn that however hugely talented he is, he isn’t a global miracle worker.” I think that the guy that said this meant that what we now of Obama isn't always going to help us when we need it.
The Inauguration to me means that when a new President is elected that they a ceremony and get to speak to the world what they are going to do to the world. Also, that they are respected for becoming the President of the United States Of America. I believe that Barack Obama is going to do a lot for our country. For instance, he is going to lower the taxes for people who make less money and raise taxes for people who make more money. So I believe that what I now of Obama is going to helps alot in this country at this time.

Elephants In Zoo's And In The Wild

When elephants are put into zoo's they suffer more difficult life then living in the wild. When elephants are in zoo's there behavior changes, joint problems, and develop diseases. Also, female African elephants born in zoo's live an average of 16.9 years, and female African elephants that are born and raised in the wild live up to 56 years. People say that stress and obesity are the blame for elephants dieing earlier then they do in the wild, because elephants in zoo's do not get the same amount of exercise as they do in the wild. So as you see elephants are better off living in the wild.

Gummy Bear Experiment

The Gummy Bear experiment that we did in September was very fun and interesting. In the experiment we had to put a Gummy Bear in Seltzer water over night and had to see what happened to it. What happened was that the Gummy Bear turned into Jello and it was very slimy and soft. I though that the Gummy Bear was going to shrink but it didn't it grew larger and the color grew lighter as well. This experiment was probably the funnest experiment I have done so far this year.

Symbiosis

This past week in science we were learning about symbiosis. Symbiosis is a close relationship between two organisms in which one organism lives near, on, or even inside another organism and which at least one organism benefits. There are three different types of symbiosis. There is commensalism, parasitism, and mutualism. Commensalism is a form of symbiosis when one organism benefits and the other is not harmed. Parasitism is a form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed. Mutualism is a form of symbiosis in which both organisms benefit. An example of commensalism is moss and a tree. An example of parasitism is a flea and a dog. An example of mutualism is a honey bee and a flower.

My Symbiosis Relationship

My symbiosis relationship is moss and a tree. My picture of moss on a tree was taken on the side of Crossroads South Middle School. It is an example of commensalism because only the moss benefits. The moss benefits because it needs moisture and sunlight to survive. Also, because it needs to now that it can obtain enough water and nutrients from the tree. Finally, this an example of commensalism because commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other organism is not harmed. That is what happened with the tree and the moss the moss benefited and the tree is not harmed.

Martialis Huereka

Scientist discovered a new species of ants in Brazil. The insects have no eyes, its body is pale, and the mouth is bigger then its whole head. Because of the Martialis huereka researchers rethink about the history of ants. Martialis huerekas DNA shows that it is distantly related to any other ant species. Its so distant that i should be in another subfamily. Also, scientist say that the Martialis huereka is from the earliest ant family. They also found out that it lives underground and that can explain why they are blind and pale. Finally, scientist are now finding out if ants first evolved underground.
