Placticity
Placticity can be both solid and liquid when not hot it is liquid, but when creating friction and heat it turns to a solid.When handled without heat it slips right throught your fingers like water.If the substance was on a board and you pushed your fingers through it quickly it would come up like a peel.If you pushed it slowly it would move out of the way like water.This is similar to the earths mantle because they are both placticity and a morphis solid.when hot solid, when cold heavy liquid.

October Sky Response
October Sky is a movie that can be very educational for students in middle school and high school.It is a story about a teenager named Homer Hickam who grew up in a coal mine town.After seeing sputnik the first russian satelite he was dedicated to build his very on rocket.This would be so much better for his life, his father wanted him to be a miner but thats not what Homer had in mined.It is very dangerous in the coal mines its deep under ground and cavins and other dangerous things could happens, also you can get black lung from working in there all your life.Black lung would be from the dust you are breathing in constantly in the mines.Spudnik was not what homer was looking to build he wanted a rocket that he could launch.Three friends helped take part in the rocket building, since they werent a loud to launch rockets on town property they went to a deserted area 8 miles away from company property.When launching home made rockets people came to watch soon the whole town knew.Then supposivly they started a forest fire with the rocket and were no longer a loud to do this.Homer knowing he didnt start the fire soon started doing math to prove it.He proved he didnt start the fire with his mathematics using science like winds and the distance it would of went.Homer was now a loud to launch rockets again.Although the town did not like this rocket launching his teacher did and told him to try out the science fair and if you come first in that one there is another fair that hands out scholarships for colleges if in first.Homer tried it out and got first in the fair soon after he got first for the other and got a scholarship for a college.You would have to give some credit for the three boys and the teacher too.the boys respected Homers ideas and how to not work in the mine,and they were coopertive for were they had to go and what they had to do.Then there is the teacher were she shows empathy and keeps pushing Homer to go on and incouraging him to meet his goal.

Angelman Syndrome
Angelman syndrome was discovered in 1965 by Harry Angelman. This is a complex genetic disorder that affects the nervous system.symptoms of this disease include development delay, intellectual disability,severe speech impairment,and seizures.treatments for this disease involve physical therapy, adaptive devices to assist with balance problems,speech therapy,and anti-convulsive medications.a child can be diagnosed between the ages of six to twelve months,and should live a normal life span.people of all races can get this disease.one in 12,000 people in the u.s have this disease.you are more vulnerable to this disease if your parent has it and you inherit it from your mother.some of the things that are happening at the molecular level is that they find how small areas in chromosomes are activated or in activated.if it is turned on it does not occur, and if it is turned of or is missing it does occur.it is hard to prevent this syndrome because you usually inherit it from a parent.

DNA Extraction Lab
Hello as you may know my name is cbgbyo65 and I am going to talk about a lab that I did In class.It was a DNA extraction lab where we would Put gatorade In our mouth and then spit it out into a test tube, and then put a little bit of alchohol in the test tube and shake.This would make your DNA visible in the test tube.This is a big part of genetics which is a really big topic right now because of stemcell research, and with president obama allowing it.My opinion on this topic is Shouldnt we be worrying about the economy right now Instead of stemcell research?

cystic fibrosis response
After reading a blog about cystic fibrosis I have learned that it is a horrible disease that effects your lungs, pancreas,respiratory system, and sweat glands.people that mostly get this are caucasians and here estimation for life span is only up to 37 years old.There are treatments for this disease but no cure yet.30,000 people die of this disease in the united states alone and 70,000 in the whole world.This can be a very painful disease and is very sad that people get it.I got this information from http://ashanima.blogspot.com/.

Newton's Laws Of Motion
Hello I am cbgbyo65 and I will be talking about a class response that I learned in class about Newton's laws of motion.There are a couple interesting facts I learned about the laws like if there were no friction an object would keep moving forever,If and object is moving and stops an other object would keep moving which is why we always were seat belts ,and the more fource you put on an object the more accelerated it goes.These laws are used everyday and not noticed.Another source states that everyone unconsiouly knows the second law,everyone know that heavier objects require more fource to move the same distance as lighter objects.Also that every action has a equal re-action like a rocket ship the fource pushes down and the reaction is the rocket ship lifting of the ground.I got this information from Teacherstech.rice.edu.I absoulutly think these Laws are correct and help us understand a lot more other stuff about motion.

New Exoplanet Found By Telescope
Hello I am cbgbyo65 and I will be talking about a social studys current event that just happened.A new planet has been discovered by a French telescope that is less then twice the size of earth.Only three plantes have been comparoble to the mass of the earth like mercury, venus, mars.This new planet might be added on to this list and was found by a French telescope that was looking for plantes that might be orbiting around stars."For the first time, we have unambiguously detected a planet that is rocky in the same sense as our own earth".This was a quote from a scientist called Malcolm Fridlum.Before I heard this quote I did not know that we did not have any planets with the same surface structure.I got this information from bbcnewinternational.com.My opionion on this new planet is not to suprised I think there is a lot more planets near us and we will find them in the near future.

President Obama's Inauguration.
Hello I am cbgbyo65 as you may know and I am here to talk about our new president Barack Obama's inauguration that recently happened.If you dontknow what the inauguration is it is the day where the new president offcially becomes president of the United States and it is a whole big celebration with parade's.Now what I thought was very cool about the celebration was the big speech that President Barrack Obama said at the Inauguration.I tought that was a very important speech and really said a lot about what we have to do and what it will be like in the near future.Also I would like to say that the other speech's made by others who were there were also very important.So in my opinion this was a historical day in America and will always be remembered.

Is Global Warming going to hurt our forests?
Hello as you may know my name is cbgbyo65 and today I will be talking about how Global Warming might be hurting our forest's.The trees that most seem to be dying are Pine, Firs, and Hemlock's.There are many possiple reason's why this could be happening like o-zone related air pollution, long-term effect's of fire suppression, and normal forest dymatic.This has been happening most often in California with the highest death rate, and with most of those tree's being Pine.There is still not an exact reason for this event yet.I've got this information from cnn/technology.com ,but in my opinion I would say it is from the o-zone pollution and focus on that.

Dirty snow causes early runoff in Cascades, Rockies
Hello I am cbgbyo65 giving you some information about a current event that is happening in Cascades.It seems to be that soot from pollution causes winter snow packs to warm, shrink , and warm some more.This cycle that keeps goin on sends melted snow streaming down mountains,but this is coming way to early maybe a month early.This is all coming from pollution, Global warming .The melting of snow is coming way to early.I got this information from brightsurf.com.If you want my opinion do something quick before everything starts melting and major flooding happens.

Unexpected discovery about the earth's core.
Hello,Im cbgbyo65 and I will be talking about a current event that I call An unexpected discovery about the earth's core.Scientist's in seweden are saying that iron under extremly high pressure such as found in the inner earth take's unexpected propertie's, and this is important to understand the movement's in the earth "such as earthquake's".This happen's because the iron atom's in a piece of iron in room tempature are packed according to a certaint structure.In this case called body centered cubic or bcc.That means the atoms are relatively sparsely packed.When the iron is in greater pressure the atoms place them selve's differently in relation to each other and take another structure so called as the hexagonal close packed or hcp.That make's it more densely packed.so the higher the tempature and pressure the more stable the hexagonal close packed structure will be.In my opinion this could be wrong because they have also shown that iron unexpectedly revert's to bcc structure at extreme pressure's and tempature's.I found this information at brightsurf.com.

Burying the greenhouse gas
Hello, as you may know my name is cbgbyo65 and I will be talking about a current event about scientist trying to bury the greenhouse gas.Now some of the scientist ideas to solve global warming was to actually bury carbon dioxide.They are trying to see if they can capture the carbon dioxide from things like electric power plants and inject it into the ground.This may help prevent global warming,but now what is the effect in the ground?I've got this information from brightsurf.com.Now though this could help prevent global warming if I was a scientist I would first try other ideas,and test what effects the carbon dioxied would have in the ground before I start injecting carbon dioxide into the ground.

Producer, Consumers, and Decomposers
hello I'm cbgyo65 and The topic that I will be talking about today is going to be producers, consumers, and decomposer's.Three interesting things I learned about this topic is that producers only get eaten they don't eat at all well actually they are able to make their own food with out going out to find it. But consumers have to go out and find there food like to eat plants (producers).Then decomposer's brake down all the consumer's and producers that are now dead to create nutrients and bring back producers .Two other interesting facts that I learned from another source is that another word for producers is autotroph an another word for consumer is heterotroph. I got those pieces of information from http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios101/ecosys/sld009.htm.In my opinion I would think it would be better to be a autotroph because you wouldn't have to hunt or kill anything you have an advantage.

Ecosystem Class Response
The class response that I am doing is about the ecosystem.I learned new interesting facts about a ecosytem like how it is living and nonliving interacting ,basically anywhere could be a eycosystem , and how the living organisms and non living organism's use each other to survive.I also learned more information like how organism's use each other to survive, like how the animal's in the desert use the sand and dig whole's and sleep in there were it is cooler at night. Also how cactus can soak up water and save it.I've got this last two piece's of information from http://www.brainpop.com/science/ecologyandbehavior/ecosystems/. My opinion on this subject is that for different place's there are "in a way" different ecosytem.Like the desert human's would not be able to survive in there for long they dont have or do half of the stuff that the animal's do to survive in the desert , they would only really be able to survive in their own ecosytem.

Drilling For Oil Assignment
The assignment we did in class was how to find were oil is and were to drill.Things I found interesting was that you need all three of these things to no were oil is,and that 70% of the time when they drill for oil the area is dry,also that even just because the oil smells different it would be sold for less money .Oil cost less because of the smell because it has to go through process to get the smell out so they sell it for less,I got this information from wikipedia.My opinion is that you cant always trust what the map says because of the 70% chance that you wont fined oil.

Class response of Arctic Tale
The response that I am doing is from the movie we watch not to long ago called the Arctic Tale. The movie was about how the animals in the arctics life could change horribly because of climate changes.Three interesting facts I learned was that just because of climate every animals way of survival,and how the walruses swam 200 miles for land and survival and the polar bear took a very big risk and swam 200 miles too, also I found it very interesting that the male polar bear let the female polar bear eat what the male polar bear caught especially if the male almost died trying to get the walruses.These climate changes are a real big threat to the 22,000 polar bears left. Polar bears are suffering from a loss if arctic sea ice.I got this information from newscientist.com.So in my opinion this why we should stop Global Warming.

highspeed Internet
From the notes I took I would think that Highspeed Internet is far the best advancement.I think this because you can do homework like what im doing now and you can research intead of reading tons of books.Also you can conmmunicate with some one across the the world in a split second.I think thats pretty cool this is why I think that Highspeed internet is far the best advancement.

Monster black holes
Monster black hole are giant gaps that can suck in anything the most ten of our suns the incredibly dense objects cram the mass of huge suns into tiny points in space.the gravity of the black hole is so intense that it sucks in every thing around it including light.I think this is cool because it could maybe stop craters from hitting the earth so there would be no harm.
