Coral reefs

Article posted February 16, 2010 at 07:36 PM GMT0 • Reads 133

   The interesting thing about coral reefs is that corals are tiny animals. Corals are called polyps. There is one type of coral it is called stony. Another type of coral is soft coral. Coral reefs are made of shapes of corals. But the fantastic thing about coral reefs is that corals are called polyps.

 

   The amazing thing about coral reefs is that fish are around the reefs. Some kinds of fish like Starfish and lobsters feed around the reefs. A hole in a reef could be a home for an eel. They think on top of the reef will have food for them. Schools of bright fish are next to the reefs. But the wonderful thing about coral reefs is that many fish live in reefs.

   The totally cool thing about corals is that they do not live in every place in the world. Do they live in lakes with fresh water? They do not live around fresh water. Coral reefs need the right temperature in the water. They will die if they are in fresh water. Barrier reefs sit around the shore. But the awesome thing about corals is that they don't live every where in the world.

   The terrible thing about corals is that they die because if bacteria gets in the coral the coral will die. If algae has bacteria then the coral won't have nothing to eat. Boats hits the reefs then it brakes huge chunks off the coral. Oil harms the reefs. Bacteria can kill a huge coral in few weeks. That's bad for the fish on corals because when huge chunks brakes off they have no home. But the totally cool thing about coral reefs is that they eat algae

   The coolest thing about coral reef is that people are trying to protect reefs. Corals reefs are tiny animals. Some countries are trying their best to protect these reefs. Some people do not follow the rules. That is bad that they don't follow the rules. You should not throw things in the water. But the best thing about coral reefs is that people are trying to protect them.

 

Garret Morgan and the Traffic Signals

I disagree that Garret Morgan wasted his time designing traffic signals. Many people that had cars a long time ago would crash buggies on accident. Many people got hurt because there were no traffic lights. Garret Morgan's plan worked because the streets were less busy. Traffic lights help busy streets less dangerous by telling when to stop and when to go.

Today we went to Animal Ark. It took a long time to get there. When we arrived there it was muddy. My shoes got dirty when we were at Animal Ark. The first animal we saw was the mountain lion. We saw many animals like the bears, bobcats and others. We saw the animals up close.The Bobcats are in the cat family. Most Bobcats fur is gray. Then it was time to see the red foxes. One red fox was black and gray. His eyes were orange and he had a bushy tail. He was a nice red fox. When we saw the other red foxes they were orange and white. I liked the black and gray one better. His name was Jonathan. The Fox named Jonathon was funny to me because one of my friends is named Jonathan. When it was almost the end of our trip to Animal Ark I felt hungry. So then we went to a playground next to Animal Ark. The playground had benches so we could eat. After we ate we got in the bus and the bus drove to School.

It looks like someone is picking me up. Someone took me in a car I guest? ROOM Yep it was a car. The post man dropped me off at a elementary School In Sparks.

I'm really anxious because I wonder what are they going to do with me? Then someone took me out and set me down on a table. Now I know who he is. It's Mr. Taylor because hIs name is on the board.

 

 

He is stretching me. I look so wrinkled. This is boring.

 

 

 

I have to stay here all day. When am I going to leave this room? I don't know where I am going. They are taking me outside. What are they doing to me?They are putting some kind of gas in me. I hope they put hydrogen so I can go up faster.

 

 

 

 

Why did they put a parachute on me?They let me go. It looks like am getting bigger and bigger.

 

 

 

I can see people on the ground they look really tiny. I can see some birds. I'm getting really high. I am freezing cold up here, I need a coat or something. I can see clouds, Im going to left up In the sky. I can barely see anything. When I'm looking down I get dizzy like if you were spinning so fast you lost your balance. Im going super high. Im getting way bigger Im so big that Im going to explode. I can see Pyramid Lake its pretty big from here.

 

 

I am in outer space now. Its really dark and Im really scared. Its darker than turning the lights off.

 

 

 

I wish someone could take me back down. Im feel so tight. I feel so tight I think I need to just burst right now. Im going to BURST. POP !!!!!! I can see some of my parts that are falling down.

I'm really far up in the atmosphere. It's really taking long to get down. My belly is getting a weird feeling when am going down.

Look people are coming they took their camera and a GPS system from me. They took me in the car and that was it.

My uncle’s and my grandparents were driving there cars they were behind our truck. My dad parked the truck and turned the truck off. I grabbed my sweater, opened the truck door and took off running to my cousins cars. We walked across the street all together. When we got inside the casino. There was a large crowd gambling, playing slots and other gambling games. I heard loud ringing noisy sounds from people playing the gambling machines. We went to a little restaurant in Peppermill. I ate pizza I thought that pizza was crazy good. My cousins started to make fun of my brother. I started cracking up I told my cousins and my brother that we can’t forget this night!
