Cycle 2 Week 3

I've learned quite a few important points from the article "Sea Turtle Soup? No Thanks!" One of the things that I've learned is "sea turtles (family Cheloniidae) absorb a lot of pollution from the ocean, including pesticides and heavy metals like mercury and cadmium. These toxins are health hazards for both turtles and humans and can cause permanent damage to their bodies. Sea turtles also carry the bacteria salmonella..." Since some people around the world eat sea turtle the turtle's that they eat could be infected so the chances of them getting fatally sick are high. Another thing that I learned is,"Sea turtles have been on Earth for millions of years, but they are in danger of going extinct. The main threat to them is people who kill them for food..." So in truth we have been killing one the earth's oldest & most beautiful creatures for our own wrong purposes. Because we as humans don"t need to have sea turtle accessories nor eat an exotic sea turtle cuisine. The way this article applies to me and the world around me is that not even the most harmed animal con seem to not be even more harmed by humans in this world.So people around the world should stop eating sea turtle's and stop using them for unessential reasons.

Cycle2-Week2

If I could design a web game it will be probably be called "Gone Batty ". The names of the characters on the game will be Professor Batdrulla, Adri, and the player visiting the sight. The professor would be the person to ask the questions from different categories like Poetry, Science, English,& History. If the person dose not get the question correct then he/she will have to either answer "THE WORLDS HARDEST QUESTION" or fill in the blanks of a song chosen by Professor Batdrulla. But this game wont be like any other game that you have gone on, this one will not allow you to go on the internet without quitting or exiting the game, to make it a bit easier it will give you some clues about the answer but they will be very vague. In the end the players will walk away with the memory of what they learned from days past. Not only will they walk away with a refreshed mind but also new knowledge.

Cycle2-Week 1

The game that I currently enjoy playing is speed.The basic objective of the game is to put down the next correct card before the other person, and when you are done with the card you yell SPEED! From playing this game you can learn how to improve your hand eye coordination. Also the best part about this game is that you can change it and made into a math a math game. Not only can you use this to learn math but also Science, English, History & so on & so forth by having the loser answer questions in that category.

Week6_ Recap

It's now been our sixth week writing blogs and its time to check the answers that I gave. Thankfully I answered the majority of my answerer's have been right but I've had a couple partial answers as well. And i have to say that out of my seven blogs so far I think that my best blog would have to be my first week prompt. The reason for this is that I really worked my hardest put my best best effort forth where as the others I didn't put as much effort in. But next cycle I plan to do my very best and put more effort forth. I also will try to use other sites to check my answers and not just the same ones.

Week5_Prompt#2

A glass of cold water with a low kinetic energy was placed on a part of a tabel with a high kinetic energy. After a while the water had more kinetic energy. One reason for this might be that the cup of water could have absoarbed the tabels thermal energy whitch might have heated yhe water up abit. So the cold waters molicules could have heated and started to move rapidly. Because when a substance is cold to the point where ir could be freezing its molicules are packed super tight together,so when it heats the molicules of the substance start spreading out. That's why the waters kinetic energy increased.

Week4-episode bodies electric

In this episode of design squads whent toe to toe in trying to come up with the best electrical dance productions.To do this they used a flow chart to come up with ideas.But there was one squad that problems working together, and that squad was the the red team. Because of their lack comunication they ended losing compitition, but the blue squad was the complete opisit, and because they worked well together they ended up wining.
If I were in there situation I would do things differently. For one I wouldn't bad mouth the other teammates that are doing all the work. I also wouldn't be acting acting childish when there somthig that can realy benifit you. So I would basicly do what the red team did. It seamed to work well, because they won the challenge.

Week3_Prompt#3

When water evaporates the air underneeath it becomes cooler. The reason for this is that the air is already hot because it needs to be hot to make something evaporate. So when the waters cool temprature comes into contact with the atmospheirs hot temprature it becomes cooler. But not 100% cooler because they have to mix and meet at a middel temprature. That's why when water evaporates the air beneath it becomes cooler.
