S.S- North Korea's Army

North Korea has developed new missiles, torpedoes, and submarines. They have an army 1.2 million strong. Right now, they are being considered a threat to the United States of America. With their new missile technology, they can easily hit multiple U.S military bases in the Pacific Ocean. We are going to begin negotiations with North Korea so that they stop attacking South Korea and so they do not use any of their new weapons or new found army against us. Hopefully, our peace ideas will be successful and no American lives will be hurt.

Roller Coaster

Last week in science, the entire class participated in creating roller coasters. We all had groups, and collectively had to use our omega dollars and supplies effectively. Though some supplies seemed overpriced, we still seemed to be alright money wise. The roller coaster had to consist of 3 turns and one other roller coaster aspect. Since all of that was on our roller coaster, i am led to believe that we may do well. Overall, this project was very fun, but required a lot of thought and application.

President Obama's Inauguration

Just last Tuesday, a historic event took place in Washington, D.C. The first black president in our nations history was inaugurated. Barack Obama was sworn into office and took the presidential oath. This inauguration took rigorous effort and lots of time to set up and pull off. It was also the most expensive, public, and historic inauguration in history.

"Barack Hussein Obama became the 44Th president of the United States on Tuesday before a massive crowd reveling in a moment of historical significance", was very important in our countries history. It marked the first time a black man has climbed the ladder of leadership in our country and became president. Also, his presidency shows that you can become anything you want to as long as you put your mid to it. Barack's presidency is remarkable and inspirational to anyone who wants to aspire to do something people have told them they can't. The article i read shows and explains what's going to happen over the next four years.

“I always felt it was important to tackle the tough issues today and not try to them on to future presidents, and future generations,” was one of President Bush's quotes on the subject of Barack Obama's presidency. Mr. Bush seems to be taking all of his criticism well, negative and positive. Also, he is helping President Obama and his family get acquainted into the white house. “I never took an opinion poll to tell me what to think. And I’m coming home with my head held high and a sense of accomplishment.”, was another one of George Bush's quotes about president Obama.

I agree with both articles that this election is very historic. Barack Obama became the first black president of the United States. WIll all Americans be able to adapt to having a black president? I personally believe he will do an excellent job as president.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Lately in class, we have been reading about the electromagnetic spectrum. It is quite an impressive topic to learn about. The amount if different waves and light in our world is amazing, especially since we can only see such a small percentage of it. Besides visible light, there are radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. All of those have their own different wavelength and frequency. Radio have the highest wavelength, but lowest frequencies. On the other hand, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. From longest wavelength to shortest, the order is radio waves, radar, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and then gamma rays. As you can see, the electromagnetic spectrum is quite fascinating.

Owl Regurgitation

Earlier in the month of December, the entire participated in the act of taking apart an owl pellet, and seeing what bones were contained inside. This was a very interesting lab to take part in. We began by learning about owl's and their pellets, which is really regurgitation. The owl eats animals whole, the basically throws up their bones in a pellet. The pellet, covered in fur, is able to be taken apart, and you can find out which animals the owls have eaten. We had to find out what prey had fallen into the owl's grasp, and put a skeleton back together. My group, consisting of Scott and I, had found a full vole skeleton. It was very cool seeing how different animals body structure and bones looked like compared to ours. I enjoyed this lab very much, and would like to do it again.
