coral reefs

Article posted February 16, 2010 at 07:36 PM GMT0 • Reads 157

Â Â The main thing about corals is they are not rocks or plants. Coral is made of small animals called polyps. Polyps are smaller than a finger nail. Polyps eat at night. But the cool thing about corals is they are not rocks or plants.

Â Â The best thing about their homes is that a lot of fish live in a reef. Crab live there. Star fish live there. And many more fish live in reefs. But the good thing about their homes is that a lot of fish live in a reef.

Â Â The wired thing about where corals live is they need algae for food so they can stay alive. There are three types of reefs fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and atolls. An atoll grows in a circle. Barrier reefs have a large lagoon. An atoll grows in a island. But the interesting thing about where corals live is they need algae to stay alive.

Â Â The bad thing about corals is if coral can't have algae it will starve and die. If coral does not have enough algae it will die. Coral has to eat. Fish die because of boats. But the honorable thing about corals is if coral can't have enough algae it will die.

Â Â The really cool thing about reefs is reef are pretty. Reefs are valuable. Reefs are helpful. We can do things to help reefs. We can all help reefs. But the cool thing about reefs is they are pretty.

The History Of Balloons Article posted April 5, 2011 at 11:25 PM GMT0 • Reads 448
	The next month he was one of two men to make the first free flight in a hot-air balloon, ascending to a height of about 300 feet (984 meters) over Paris, France, on November 21, 1783, for twenty-five minutes.The hot-air balloon was invented by Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (1740â€“1810) and his brother Jacques-Ã‰tienne Montgolfier (1745â€“1799), who were French paper makers. They launched their balloon on June 5, 1783, in Annonay, France. Their invention, which was filled with heated air, ascended for about ten minutes. Three months later they sent a duck, a sheep, and a rooster up in a balloon. The success of this flight prompted them to attempt a human launching. In October 1783, the French scientist Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier (1756â€“1785) became the first person to make a balloon ascent, though it was tied down for safety. The hot-air balloon was invented by Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (1740â€“1810) and his brother Jacques-Ã‰tienne Montgolfier (1745â€“1799), who were French paper makers. Manned Hot Air Balloon Flight Begins Although the flight lasted only 20 minutes, a new industry had emerged The first true manned attempt at hot air ballooning came about later on the 21st November, 1783 with a balloon made by 2 French brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier in Paris, France.Â In these early days of ballooning, the English Channel was considered the first step to long distance ballooning so this was a large benchmark in ballooning history .Long Distance Hot Air Ballooning Just 2 years later in 1785 a French balloonist, Jean Pierre Blanchard, and his American co pilot, John Jefferies,became the first to fly across the English Channel. His balloon was tethered to the ground, and he used a telegraph. Â Â Thaddeus Lowe sent messages to the groundÂ accurately directing artillery fire over 4 miles.Â Civil War Balloons From 1861-1865, hot air balloons were used to spy on enemies and to direct battles from the air How did he do this from 100 feet up? Of course, after he set the record, many people after him went higher and higher. Hot Air Balloon Altitude Record Auguste Picard of Switzerland set the first Hot Air Balloon Altitude record with a flight which topped out at a still incredible 52,498 feetÂ (over TEN MILES HIGH!).Â higher and higher.

	I live in Sparks, Nevada and My high hopes for my school are that we can have more computers, more recess, better food, nicer substitutes, a PE teacher, and nap time. My high hopes for my community are that people use cars less so there will be less pollution in the air, another one of my high hopes in that people will lower prices for poor people, another one of my high hopes is that there will be less crime so people can be safe, and my last high hope is that people will stop littering and start recycling. My high hopes for the world are that that there will be less war going on in the world, That the people in japan will recover from the earthquake and tsunami, more oil will be found, That hattie will rebuild there country, that dictates will change there ways, and that there will be money for the poor that don't have money or food.

I am about to get on the space craft called cookie monster but they told me that I have to put on a space suit I know that is the dimmest idea I have ever herd they said if I3 did not put it on I would die that is stupid right. Well putting on the space suit makes me fill like i'm a marshmallow so I guess putting on a space suit is not a bad Idea after all. Now they told us to get on the space craft aka the cookie monster they tell us to put on are seat belts.

BALLOON CHIP BAG EXPERIMENT Article posted May 3, 2011 at 09:00 PM GMT0 • Reads 153
	Description: On my class's payload we are going to tape a green balloon that is a quarter full of air a blue balloon that is half full of air and a orange balloon that is about as full as can be of air we are also going to tape a small bag of Cheetos to the payload. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on high altitude balloon. Hypothesis: Green Balloon - I don't think that the green balloon that is on the payload will pop because it has enough room to expand. Blue Balloon â€“ I think the blue balloon will pop because if it gets more air it will pop. Orange Balloon â€“ I think the orange balloon will pop because it is filled to were if it gets more air it will pop and the reassure will make it pop. Bag of Chips â€“ I don't think the bag of Cheetos will pop because last year we put hot Cheetos on are payload and they did not pop so that is why. What do you think will happen?

	Balloon Experiment Results Description: On my class's payload we are going to tape a green balloon that is a quarter full of air a blue balloon that is half full of air and a orange balloon that is about as full as can be of air we are also going to tape a small bag of Cheetos to the payload. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on high altitude balloon. Hypothesis: Green Balloon - I don't think that the green balloon that is on the payload will pop because it has enough room to expand. The green balloon did not pop but got pretty close to popping. The green balloon got so big that it was about the size of are pay load. Then on the way down it slowly shrunk down to the size it was at the beginning. Blue Balloon â€“ I think the blue balloon will pop because if it gets more air it will pop. Ok I don't known how high the blue balloon popped at but it popped over 80,000. But it got bigger and bigger in tell it could not take the pressure and then it went pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! went the balloon. Orange Balloon â€“ I think the orange balloon will pop because it is filled to were if it gets more air it will pop and the pressure will make it pop. OK the orange balloon pop at a low altitude because it was filled to about to its popping point. Bag of Chips â€“ I don't think the bag of Cheetos will pop because last year we put hot Cheetos on are payload and they did not pop so that is why. The bag of chips did not pop but it was going to but it had so much pressure that it made a little hole so it did not pop. And here is a pic of the holes.

The Excited Time in my Life Article posted December 8, 2011 at 01:10 AM GMT0 • Reads 616
	Hi i'm Doug Hoo and i'm going to tell you about the most exciting time in my life. It was when I ran a 20 mile Marathon with only 2 breaks. It was the hardest thing I ever done. It all started on a breezy summer day, I was going to the store to buy so shorts. When a flyer hit me smack dab on the nose . I got a really bad paper cut but that's not the point. I picked up the paper and read it it said come join us for a 20 mile marathon. 20 thousand dollar prize for first place winner. So that was when I thought to my self "I have to enter and win to buy my wife a new ring". So the next day I went to the park were the race started and their were 4 other people there and they said "good luck chump". That's when I said "you will see when I win the race". They said " what ever". The refs said "get ready set go". The race started and I was in the lead but the others weren't so far behind. We were to the point were we had ran 10 miles all ready I was still in the lead. Then next thing I know I'm in third place. Know we have ran 19 Miles I can see the finish line then bam I get back In first Place and win. I was so tired after but I did it. That's the time I ran A twenty mile Marathon.
