When Frog Gender Flips

Frogs that are male acting like female frogs that sounds impossible doesn't it. Well its true a California college students was in the lab and saw thaqt the frogs where acting different. For the next few days his boss told him to observe the frogs. The students observed the frogs and found out that something in the water was making them change. What I dont understand is how water makes something change what it does. How does everything happen to animals and nothing happens to humans.

How Child Soldiers has to do with Math

Child soldiers are decreasing every single say. The precentage of boys is 60% and the percentage of girls is 40% if child soldiers continues to happen their will be 15% in the next 20 to 30 years. Which shows that the population is going to decrease a huge amount and it will stay that way. Also, there are 300,000 child soldiers if the older soldiers keeps treating the children like this there will be 5,000 child soldiers. Which is a 295,000 difference and that is a whole lot. That is how child soldiers has to do with math it shows that the population will decrease.

Wonderful Glorious Goop

We did a lab this week in science it was a plasticity lab. We had to find out if the goop was a liquid or a solid. My hypothesis was that If the solution is measured properly we will find out if the goop is a liquid or a solid. The materials we used in this lab were goop and me. At the end of the lab I found out that it is a liquid and a solid. Its a liquid and a solid because when there is not a lot of heat it turns into a liquid. When it gets a lot of heat it turns into a solid. This lab was very fun because we got to pay around with goop and it was all slimy and sticky. Also, I learned that anything has to be a liquid or a solid.

World’s largest lizard is venomous too

Komodo Dragons are very dangerous and can be as heavy as two or three 8th graders. I would have to say that is very big. Also, they can grow up to 10 feet which is very huge. As soon as the Komodo Dragon bites you you will go into shock immediately because you would get a lot of venom in your body that your blood would stop. People say that is the most fiered animal alive. I believe that I is because it is huge and has huge mouth with venom that can kill you instantly. Also, if I came face to face with a Komodo Dragon I would probally just pray and hope that get into heaven because it would outrun you and you would be shocked and not be able to move.

Plasticity Conclution

A few days ago we did a lab in school. The point of the lab was to see how the earths mantle worked. What we did was that we put water in a beaker and then we put cornstarch in the beaker. When those to mix together they make plasticity. Then when you put some body heat on the cornstarch with the water it gets hard(turns into a solid). However, when there was no body heat attracting the cornstarch it wound turn all gooey (turns into a liquid). The whole point of this lab was to see how the earths mantle works. The earths mantle is a solid because it had pressure being pushed against it from the core and the crust. Finally, if the crust and the core weren't pushing against the mantle then the earths mantle would be a liquid. Just like in the plasticity lab.

October Sky

In the movie October Sky there were four friends who wanted to build rockets and make them fly. In this movie there was a science/math connection and a Character Education connection.
The connection for math and science was that they had to read and learn certain math skills to now how rockets function and work.Also, that they had to use equations to prove that the fire that was caused was not by their rocket. Another reason, is that they went to a science fair fair and that has to do with science. Finally, that alot of people that worked in the mines got black lung cancer which means that you have lots of smoke in your lungs and they turn black.
The connection that the movie October Sky has to Character Education is that they used C.A.R.E.S.

• Cooperation
• Assertion
• Respect
• Empathy
• Self-Control

They used C.A.R.E.S because when they had to build there rockets they had to work as a group to get the job done. They used respect because they respected one another no matter if they did something wrong or if the did not do anything at all. They used empathy because they understood one another. Finally. they used Self-Control because even if the rocket blew up right in front of them they did not freak out. Also, they were able to control anything. For example, when the four boys got sent to jail they handled it respectfully and responsibly.
