I have been doing this zoo project for I think 5 weeks and the whole seventh grade and I went to the zoo yesterday. I think that by learning and working on all the things that I will have to do for the project really got me thinking when I saw the bird myself. The bird I have been working on is the blue-crowned mot mot and when I saw it I thought of everything that I had leaned about it. The bird is really beautiful it has a blue-crown of course and is really colorful for example green and blue are the colors of the blue-crowned mot mot. 
By learning, creating a webpage, and making multimedia tools about the animal and then actually going to see the animal was really a good idea because when I went to the zoo and then saw the animal I knew everything about it. It also got me thinking that everytime before I go to the zoo I'm going to the zoo I 'm going to learn a little about on sites for example Wikipedia is a site I would recommend to everyone who is trying to learn about a person, place, or thing. If I were to learn all about the animal I would be able to understand what I'm going to be seeing. I would also recommend for you to do as well.
 
       In my science class we were doing this project to make a cell that has all the parts of a real cell. The cell had to be made of food that is why we called it the edible cell project. I actually learned a lot from this project. I learned the parts of the cell and what they do. I also learned how the cell has to be very detailed and very specific on how they look. My table thought it would be a good idea to make it out of lots of good tasting things like licorice, gushers, and etc. I found out what we got for our project and i wasn't such a bad grade it was a B. I know that we wouldn't get a great grade because we were asked some questions that some people in my group didn't know that was our downfall to our group grade. Hey, at least we didn't get like a C, D, or F

DNA is located in the center inside of the nucleus in the cell. DNA is like the blueprint to how to make us ourselves for example our eyes our hair our brain our legs well practically everything that is what we are made of. We did an experiment of how there is DNA in strawberries. We first had to get the strawberries and put them in a bag then squish them until they were very smashed up. After that we put the smashed up strawberries into a glass and then put a dab of soap into the strawberries. Afterwards, we put alchohol into the glass. then we were able to see the DNA and if you were able to see the DNA yourself it should be described as a clear slimy substance.
 
Quizlet is a useful site to study for any subject in school. I do use it sometimes to study ,but whenever I am going to study I forget but if it was the first thing that I remember I would definitely use Quizlet to study for tests. Quizlet has definitely stamped an A+ on my tests. Quizlet is something I would recommend people to use because you could put pictures into your flash cards. If you were studying for math and you want to study for Quizlet I would recommend you to put problems to solve and then the answer on the other side an could play the games to help more in a fun way.
Quizlet now has this new flashcards -feature that would be very helpful if you really don't like using games for studying and like doing it the old way then you could use the new feature and try it out. I like doing the feature button and would think that you might enjoy it as well. In the feature place you are able to have it move the flashcards by themselves, have the flashcards read to you, or even have the definition or image covered or not covered. As you can read Quizlet can be a big help if you like being on th computer and wondered 
 
Charles had many ways of discovering what he is famous for discovering. For example, another scientist discovered the earth is very old. That statement helped Charles to explain his discovery even more by this statement. Charles said that if the earth is very old then there would be enough time for evolution to happen. Since that statement from the other scientist explained more about evolution and how it can happen. Charles Darwin tried an experiment on moths. He used peppered moths that were mainly black and no white. And experimented with completely white peppered moths. He put them both in a clean forest and turned out there was less of black peppered moths than white moths.
The reason the black moths disappeared was that hey were less likely to hide in a very good hiding place because they were very dark colored, and it was very hard to hide in a clean forest. If you did the same thing to the moths but this time put them in a unclean forest the result would be that there would be less light m
 
      The main thing that I had struggled on last semester with science is when we were learning about mitosis and that is something that I still haven't completely learned yet, but are planning to learn soon. I haven't actually gotten the message of what, mitosis is maybe because I forgotten what it mean when we were taking the test. I think that is mainly what I didn't get about in science one thing that I loved learning in science the parts of a cell like the cell membrane and things like that. I also loved learning about the lady who discovered something and didn't even get any credit for what she has discovered. Her nickname was Rosy. She figured out what DNA actually looked like in real life and that was what was very interesting to me because she worked very hard to discover thing amazing discovery then taken away by these other scientists.
         I also think that Rosalind Franklin should be more responsible who she shows her work to because then someone will steal it as if it were there own. These things that happened in history really affect the future which is today.
 
        I read this article about this true facts about Santa Claus about true facts. Well one of the facts of the story are that he weighs so much pounds and that ha can't stand that long on the sleigh if he does how will the reindeer will carry him. I think that the reindeer are going to have to carry a guy who is like something thousand tons through the whole night will be nearly impossible. It also talked bout how many kids he would have to visit not counting the ones who are Muslim and stuff like that. 
          He was also talking how much gas and power Santa would have to have to travel to so many places in one night  and if he did have all that power to go that far he would evaporate into dust if actually tried doing that. something that his believers would say that they would think about this article is that he could travel that far with magic. I don't think this whole thing about Santa Claus is kind of crazy and should not be talked about.
