Air

Without oxygen everything in this picture would not exist. All living things need oxygen in order to survive. Plants have tiny holes in their leaves called stomates and animals have lungs. Living things that need air are called aerobic and creatures that don't are anaerobic. The air is getting polluted by car exist and chemicals so right now scientists are trying to find a way to put a stop to it.

Little Wonders

Macroscopic, amoeba, paramecium, and protozoa are words that can be new to some people but they are very interesting. Macroscopic means you can see it without using a microscope. Amoeba are microscopic life forms that have no definite shape but the paramecium is shaped like a slipper. Protozoa are both amoeba and paramecium and act like bigger macroscopic life forms by eating smaller microscopic plants and animals. Many types of protozoa are harmful and can cause sleeping sickness and death by being in the water that we drink. Leeuwenhoek called these little protozoa "beasties". The nation with the biggest amount of sickness from protozoa is Africa, so if you ever plan a trip there it would be smart to pack your own water!

The Screwtape Letters

The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis was one of the most boring books I've ever read ): I didn't understand anything about it, but since it was an assigned book I had to read it. Screwtape (the uncle's nickname) is constantly writing to Wormwood (the cousins nickname) about God, philosophy, and life. It's pretty boring but I have to admit did learn a few things from it. Since WWII just barely broke out they have to use nicknames. Screwtape keeps talking about how the enemy is always getting stronger, smarter, and trying to outsmart you. I don't really recomend it to anyone if you want to be bored to death.

Eragon

Eragon is the second best book I've ever read and before I tell you about it (which I know you want me to) I must give shout outs to two people. Christopher Paolini the second best author ever (if you're wondering J.K Rowling is the first in my opinion, because she wrote Harry Potter which is the best book I've ever read), and Jason Winsor or Brother Winsor a friend of my parents in our ward. It all happens when the evil King Galbatorix and his empire are in battle against the Varden who have help with the dwarfs and elves. In the ancient land of Algeisia in the Du Weldenvarden Forest there is an ambush waiting for the Varden twelve Urgels and a Shade are part of the trap. While the Urgels are large, ugly, and stupid they are vicious in battle the Shade is more powerful then fifty Urgels the shade uses Dark Magic to overpower enemies. As a band of elves on horses draws closer they are showered urgle arrows. Two of the elves are hit but only the third one survives long enough to use magic to transport the blue dragon egg to the dangerous Spine forest. While the young boy Eragon hunts in the Spine there is a small explosion nearby that startles the herd of dear he was hunting then he finds the egg and heads home thinking he can get a few crowns (money) for it. Then in the middle of the night the egg hatches and when Eragon touches the baby dragon he gets a gedwey ignasia ( that's ancient language for the glowing palm). Then he meets Brom a skilled old man who teaches him about dragons but then the Ra'zac come and kill Garrow Eragon's dad. The Ra'zac are ruthless hunters, assassins and spy's for the Empire who can leap far distances, run at amazing speeds, and have beak and eyes that are as big as a fist. Eragon hurries and rides away on Saphira's (that's the dragons name) back. When he gets back his house is destroyed Garrow is dead and all that riding rubbed all skin off his legs (because of Saphira's scales). While him and Brom are traveling they come past a town where everyone in it's dead and there are still two Urgels left who attack him and Brom. Eragon then uses the magic word Brisinger (Fire) while shooting an arrow. The arrow then hits one urgel in the forehead killing him while the shock wave kills the other. More urgels attack him so then he says Nagz riesa (rise, slam) dozens of them slam into trees and walls. He is then captured by the Ra'zac. Brom rescues him but dies doing it. He then meets Murtagh who helps him get across the Hardarac desert to the Varden with the elf from the beginning who is terribly sick. When he gets to the Varden they are preparing for war with Urgels. When the thousands of urgels come streaming in the Varden shower them with arrows and burning oil. Eragon then battles the shade and kills him. The urgels are all confused and start attacking each other. I really liked the book and I recommend it to everyone.

Peter Pan

This week I read an awesome book called Peter Pan (not abridged) it is about a girl called Wendy and her adventure to Neverland. At first she lives a normal life until she catches Peter Pan's shadow and then he tries to get it and put it on with soap!

When Peter puts pixie dust from Tinkerbell on Wendy, John, and Micheal they fly out through the window and off to Neverland (with Nana the dog barking at them). Once they get to Neverland the evil Captain James Hook and his crew starts shooting cannonballs at them! They way of Neverland is like a sibilant circle, Pirates chase the Lost boys who chase the Redskins who chase the pirates. My favorite part is when at the end the Indians and Pirates have a huge war. The book was great and I recommend it to everyone but just remember you can do anything with a pinch of pixie dust (=

Where's My Mummy?

For awhile now we've been learning about Ancient Egypt at Riverside Scholars. Like did you know that Egypt was once divided into to parts? Upper and Lower Egypt but then they both fought one great war that would decided who would rule Egypt. Upper Egypt and The White Crowned King, King Narmer defeated Lower Egypt and the Red Crowned King and took hid crown away and put it on top of his own crown. There were many pharaohs and queens of Egypt the Egyptians were polytheists that means that they worship many Gods but that all changed this one time. There was once a pharaoh of Egypt named Amenhotep he was pretty normal for a few years, he sent out armies to stop rebellions, he married a Nubian princess, and worshiped the gods but then everything changed, he know told the people of Egypt that the gods didn't exist and that the only god was a god named Aten. The people were horrified and were forced to move into another city, build monuments of the god, and change there religion to Monotheism which means to worship one god. After Akhenehaten ( he changed his name) died the people rebelled and moved back to their usual way of life. I sure learned a lot when we studied Egypt who nows mabye the curse on Tut's tomb is real.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

Today I finished an exciting book called Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.

My favorite part of the book is when she does an attack on the wild dogs cave and kills many of dogs and then takes a wounded one and tames it. At the beginning these white men called the aluets come and kill many of the Indian warriors then escape. The Indians flee thinking the aluets might come back but only one is left your thinking Karana right? Wrong, it's her little brother Ramo. So Karana jumps out of the boat and go's back to save him. Later he is killed by wild dogs.
Next, Karana does a bunch of things to survive. At one point she finds a beached whale and the she kills a walrus and a giant devilfish. She makes many friends on the island a wild dog named Rontu and his son Rontu-aru, an otter named mon-a-nee and two birds Tainor and Lumari.

I really liked the book and I think the author wanted it to be about a girl Robinson Crusoe and her way of survival. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure book.

Obama as President

I can't believe Obama won! He is the first African American man to ever be elected into the White House. It's pretty neat but I would have voted for McCain.
