   The neat thing about reefs is that thousands of fish can live in reef. Holes in the reefs make a good homes. The fish depend on the reef for food and safety. But neat thing about reef is that thousands a of fish can live in reef.



 



   The special thing about coral reefs is that coral reefs need healthy algae for food. Coral reefs need conditional care. Dirt and debris can clog the reefs. Fresh water coming from rivers kill coral reefs. Barrier reefs have a lot of water in between them. But cool thing about coral reefs is that coral reefs need healthy algae for food.



 



   The Terrible thing about coral is that without enough algae to eat coral will die. Humans cause most damage to the coral reefs. Gas and oil will harm the coral reef. If coral can't eat algae the coral starves. A bacteria can destroy a reef in just weeks. But the bad thing about coral is that without enough algae to eat coral will die.

The time Someone Helped Me

Article posted March 17, 2011 at 10:34 PM GMT0 • Reads 233



One day I was riding my bike. I rode my bike down the street. When I turned and fell I was a couple of houses down. When I fell down my foot got stuck in my bike. I could not get up so a lady came out of her house. The lady tried to take my foot out but she could not get my foot out. So the lady got oil and put it on my foot and tried to get it out but my foot did not come out. So she called a firetruck to help me. The firetruck came and the firemen got my foot out, but when they got my foot out out it hurt. One of firemen gave me a ride on the firetruck and gave me a teddy bear. When I got home my cat came to me because I was hurt. When I got home my family asked me why I had a teddy bear. I said I have a teddy bear because I got my foot stuck in my bike. That is the time some lady and firemen help me.

The History Of Ballooning.

Article posted April 5, 2011 at 11:28 PM GMT0 • Reads 213

 The caged duck looked down as terra firma slowly drifted away and above the duck, a balloon, constructed of paper and fabric, provided the lift necessary to carry aloft the duck and its companions, a sheep and a rooster and never before had a human, let alone a duck, flown in a balloon. The year was 1783, a milestone year for aviation—the dream of flying had finally been realized. On October 15th of that year, a few months after the duck's historic flight, a balloon, 'Aerostat Reveillon,' launched in France, carrying scientist Pilatre De Rozier, and rose to the end of its 250 foot tether and it stayed aloft for fifteen minutes and then landed safely nearby.



 



The history of ballooning, both with hot air and gas, spans many centuries. It includes many firsts, including and the first human flight, first flight across the English Channel, first flight in North America, and first aircraft related disaster.



The history of balloons - including the early animal intestine varieties.The first rubber balloons were made by Professor Michael Faraday in 1824 for use in his experiments with hydrogen at the Royal Institution in London and that is the history of ballooning.

Description: We our going to attaching green balloon that is a quarter (1/4 or small), the size to a payload, and attaching a blue balloon that is the size half (1/2 or medan), a big balloon that is an orange the foll(large) size as a water balloon and a chip bag attaching to the top of one our payload. Next, we will send the payload over 100,000 feet on a high altitude balloon.
