Volunteers Guard and Search for Whales
Who- Glenn Wood.
What- Glenn Wood "searches for whales at least once a week."
Where- She searches for them at Flagler Beach in Florida.
When- At eight o'clock a.m. once a week.
Why- Glenn searches for whales because she wants to have hope that there is still a chance for the endangered species of right whales to survive.
In my opinion I think that it is great that people volunteer to guard and search for whales. This is a fantastic thing to do because there are not too many people in the world who care about whales and their becoming of extinction. If there were more people like Glenn Wood in the world, it would be a safer place for whales, and they probably would not be going extinct. Overall, this is something that I hope to be able to do in my life and I hope that many others will be able to do it too.

Steelers Fans Gone Wild
Who-Steelers fans
What-Fans were so happy that the Steelers won the game, they got a little out of hand with their celebration. They possibly injured a police officer's arm and they also "threw bottles at the police." Over one hundred people were arrested.
Where- The Steeler's fans partied in the streets at night.
When- Sunday, February 1, 2009
Why- The fans were overjoyed at the success of their favorite football team winning Superbowl 43.
In my opinion I think that this was very likely to happen. Anyone could have expected people to do this after the Steelers won the game. I do believe that it did get to wild though. These people should not have injured the police officers and they most definetly should not have partied in the streets. Overall, this was a bad decision made by these Steeler's fans but I bet that most people knew that this would happen somewhere.

Smart Board Acceleration Game
In science class we played a game on the smart board that had to do with acceleration. In this game you had to find the block with the correct height that would move the car down the track all the way to the number 100. You also had to find the correct type of weight to place on the car in order for it to increase acceleration.
Three Interesting Facts Are...
* The higher you make the starting point for the car (or whatever you are dropping) the more acceleration to move forward it recieves.
* The smart board makes the game interactive and even more fun then it would be on a regular computer.
* This game shows you how force and acceleration are related and can make something move.
In my opinion I think that the Smart Board acceleration game is awesome. It is really fun to play it and you are learning while you are playing. By playing this game you really learn a lot about life and how acceleration plays a major part in it. I find it amazing that acceleration and force are what makes a marble move down a hill or a book slide down a set of steep stairs. Overall, this game is great for people that want to learn more about acceleration and how it works.

Global Warming Threatens Forests
Who- Generations of scientists.
What- Specific trees such as "pines, firs and hemlocks" in forests are being killed because of global warming.
Where- Several sites in "Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and southwestern British Columbia.
When- Thursday, January 22, 2009
Why- Some trees can't live up to the harsh climates that global warming is producing.
In my opinion I think that it is terrible that trees are dying because of global warming. I don't think that there is anything that we can do to stop it but we can help fix it. As a solution to trees dying due to global warming we can plant new trees. By replanting trees this will ensure oxygen and a healthier Earth. This will also replace the trees that have died. Overall, I think that on this year's Earth Day we should all plant a tree for our planet.

Waves
In science class we learned about waves. A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
Three Interesting Facts Are...
* Waves can move in all sorts of directions
* Waves can transfer energy
* There is more than one type of wave. Two different types are transverse waves and longitudinal waves.
In my opinion I think that waves are facinating. I used to think that waves just come and go and thats that. But there is a lot more to it. Who would know that there are different types of waves? Not me. Well at least not before I learned about it. Waves are actually very cool. They can transfer energy, they all have vibration and they can move in all sorts of directions! Overall, I think that waves are a very interesting subject to learn about, and I hope I get to learn more about them in the future.
