BUILD A MUSHROOM FARM!!!

Build A Mushroom Farm
http://www.fengfu.com.cn/
About them:
Fengfu, as a edible mushroom science & technology
company, was found by Mr.Pengzhaowang, as a source
of mushroom logs, firstly established mushroom logs'
model of management chain farms. For many years, the
products, facilities, and the solution plans that offered by
Fengfu, is already one of the roads that are convenient
and can be trusted most where the client of all parts of
the world builds his mushroom farm.

This week my current event post is about building a mushroom farm. I decided to write about this because I want Clare to read it. I want Clarie to read this because she HATES mushrooms! So lets get back to mushrooms. Ms. Shanghai Femgfu who is a scince and technique Co. has dont 80% of all the work!! She will provide all-set-farm-construction solutions, speciality facilities, along with sending the technicians to give the people guidience. This is a new healthy industry! The fat in edible mushroom equals to that in vegetables, and with a veriaty of health-care functions. All the production process does not contact fertilizers, pesticides and soil is a new generation healthy industry! So Clarie do you like mushrooms now? I forgot to add that there is 25 kinds of mushroom logs in the farm. There is also 2-3 kinds of temperature in each variety! Mushrooms can be soooo exitinf right???

CURRENT EVENT POST

http://scipeeps.com/articles-on-water-pollution/
By: Scipeeps.com
Date Written: May.20, 2009

This weeks current event article is about the water pollution in China! The scientists estimated that 70% of Chinese rivers and lakes are polluted which means that over 75% of all disease in China come from water pollution! WHO ( The World Health Organization) puts the number of Chinese water-pollution-related deaths at 100,000 per year. How awful!! The pollution (water and air) is increasing which is becoming a huge problem!! Pollution involves everything for example glaciers. They are mostly melting because of global warming and the changed temperature! The water pollution is a big problem because we use the water for cooking, drinking etc. And if we don't do something about it we will destroy something that we need the most!!! OUR WONDERFUL WATER!!!! Water is something that we really need in order to survive. China is not the only country that has the water pollution problem!! The whole world has the same problem and we need to do something about it!!


Read and learn!!

REFLECTION

WHEN WE JUST HAD WATER WITH BLACK FOOD COLORING AND MS. MEDENICA ADDED WORM GOO WE COULD SEE THE GOO SPINNING IN THE WATER. FIRST I DID’T WANT TO TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE WET WORMS. THEN WHEN I TOUCHED IT IT DIDN’T SEEM LIKE WET WORMS ANYMORE. WE PLAYED AROUND WITH IT. WE STARCHED IT OUT AND SQUEEZED IT, SCOOPED IT AND WRAP IT AROUND OUR HANDS. THE WARMS WERE SEE TROUGH. WHEN WE MADE THE CORN STARCH IT WAS ONLY A MIXTURE BUT THIS CREATED A CHEMICAL REACTION. IT ACTUALLY WHEN WE SPILLED THE WORM GOO IN IT COULDND MIX WITH THE WATER WITH BLACK FOOD COLORING. I THINK THAT THE WORM GOO COULDN’T MIX BECAUSE OF THE FOOD COLORING AND BECAUSE WE COULDN’T STOP SPPINING IT WITH THE SPOON.

Current Event Article!!!

The article I read for this weeks current event was very short but I understood it the second I read it to the end. The article is called "AARF demonstration to encourage adoption". It is written by " Mary Anna Gentleman on September, 17 2010 4:35 PM" . The article is abvout the homeless and abandoned animals. In lots of countries in the world even Serbia there is homeless dogs wondering around the streets and looking for good homes. All animals need love and owners that will treat them with respect and have them for parts of their family. This article is spacificly about Members of Animal Rights Foundation of Florida gethering outside Airport Puppies, 6450 s. Orange Ave., Orlando, at 11:30 a.m. Suturday, Sept. 18, ina demonstration to encourage people to adopt the animals from shelters and streets and not from the pet stors because every year millions of homeless animals loose their lives in shelters. ”We are confident that most consumers are not indifferent to the problem, just ill-informed,” said Bryan Wilson, ARFF coordinator. “If people knew how these dogs are treated, they would stop buying animals from pet stores." Mr. Wilson also said "Our message is simple: Don’t buy while they die.” I had to read the massige several times before I understood it. To me it means taht we have to buy the animals from shelters and streets before they die. The animals on the streets are also becominga big problem because animals dont get the operation so they keep on having more babies. If we stop that we can safe the homeless animals and make them happier then ever!

I hope that with this article I made you think a little and I also hope that you will someday adopt an abandoned animal.

Reflection

Today in class we mixed corn starch with water.When we took it into our hands and squeezed it it felt really grows just like you would be touching spaghetti. It all started falling out of my hands. If we added to much water (which my group did) it actually became more liquid then solid.If there wasn't enough water it became hard solid. Well in the beginning when we mixed corn starch and water in a small cup and left it in the end it became like glue. When we mixed it on the big plate first we put in to much corn starch so it actually got stuck onto the plate so we dded to much water and it became liquid. My hands well in the beginning i was like "Yuck!!" but then my hands got used to it and when we washed it it left that awful smell! We could add some other liquid and see what happens. It was really fun and I really wish that we can do it again.

If you wish to see the video type this in you tube!

Simple Corn Starch + Water Mixture in a bowl

The video is showing basically the same thing we did in a smaller bowl. The mixture in the video is the same but you can see that they left it to dry for a bit so it became harder.

Faraway planet could support life

http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/articles/20101013/Note1.asp
By Stephen Ornes
Date written:  October 13 , 2010
Now for a very long time people has been searching for other planets with life on then Earth. Did we finally find one? The scientists say so. The planet is the sixth found orbiting a star called Giles 581. This star with its other stars could be called a mini version of our solar system. The planet is 20 light years away from Earth. One light-year is the distance light can travel in one year roughly 6 trillion miles. You’d have to go around the Earth 240 million times to travel a light year or go the Moon and back about 12.5 million times. The scientists expect the planet to have water because where ever water is the living things are! The scientists also know that the humans will not be visiting the planet so soon. It would take a bit more then 200 years for a human spaceship to travel there! The scientists are still studding the planet with the help of the new telescopes that are made to look for planets which is just what they need! I think that we humans will think of a way to get there we just need some time to develop out technology. Also with the new telescopes we have we can learn more about the planet and give it a better name!

Astronomy

http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/a/astronomy.htm

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation). Astronomers from early life have been performing an observation of the night sky and astronomical artifacts have been found from much earlier periods. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Since the 20th century astronomy has been split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on analyzing and collecting data and using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented towards the developing of computers or models that would help describe the astronomical objects and phenomena. Amateur astronomers have contributed too many important astronomical discoveries, and astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs can still play an active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient phenomena. The most frequently studied star is the Sun, a typical main-sequence dwarf star of stellar class G2 V, and about 4.6 Gyr in age. A sun is not considered a star but it certainly undergoes periodic changes in activity known as the sunspot cycle. The study of stars and stellar evolution is fundamental to our understanding of the universe.

Pinpointing Where Volcanic Eruptions Could Strike

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100926195032.htm

Scientists from all over the world gathered and investigated on how to know when volcano’s around the world will erupt. By studying a rare sequence of 13 magmatic events where hot molten rock was intruded into a crack between the African and Arabian plates they found that the location of each intrusion was not random. They showed that they were linked because each event changed the amount of tension in the earth's crust. The information that they found will help them to more accurately predict where and when the volcanos will erupt. The team studied the region around the volcano which erupted in 2005 because a vertical crack which is created when Magma seeps from underground through rifts in the surface of the earth. Magma hot molten rock was injected along the dyke between depths of 2 and 9 km, and altered the tension of the earth. The team was able to watch the 12 smaller dykes that subsequently took place in the same region over a four year period.

paragraph


http://www.dogonews.com/2010/9/19/need-a-new-shirt-spray-it-on

This invention involved spraying a person with different kinds of spray to make a shirt. A men named Manel Torresmed invented this awesome invention. It takes place in Spain because the inventor is from there. You take a bottle of spray (it can be lots of colors) and someone sprays it on you the way you want it to look. You can make it for any kind of weather. It was interesting to me because this is something I had no idea that people can do and it shows the video of the whole process. I also liked it because you can wash it and put it over something and in your closet it’s not just used once and then you throw it away. It helped me understand that science is not only matter, experiments and fun but that there is way more when you get further into it. The way they made the shirt in very interesting. You can just take the bottle and spray what you want your clothes to look like.  This article thought me quite a few things. First that science is more than matter and experiments and that there is lots of new inventors inventing new technology and making experiments with science.
