Barred Owls//Biology
Submitted by vyan on March 7, 2010 - 7:45pm
Barred Owls are widespread and common in most areas, such as North America between thick, archaic trees because of their large physique capable for nesting. Meadow coles, shrews, rats, squirrels, young rabbits, bats, moles, deer mice, and excetera is included in their diet. In a sweeping motion, they dive towards the edge of lakes and catch amphibians. They hunt their prey during night or cloudy evenings. Barred Owls hoot in unision, sounding like, "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you?" as their calls and are killed majorly by men's shooting and roads with reckless cars, as well as their foe the Great Horned Owl.

Fossil Fish Found Alive
Submitted by bjang on January 31, 2010 - 4:44pm
I am reading the book Fossil Fish Found Alive by Sally M. Walker. I found this book on Mr. Carpenter's book shelf. I chose this book because it looked interesting and the title was confusing. I wondered how a fossil could be alive. So i chose to read this book for my blog post. This book is about the discovery of the colencanth.
The colencanth is a fish that survived extinction. It is blueish and has hard scales that were covered with spiny points. It has a thick tail fin with a smaller fin that looked like an extra tail. The colencanth was five feet long.Read more >>

Then I will add on if it is a chemical reaction or not. Just post a comment saying "Yes, I think it is" or "No, it isn't". I will not take "Maybe"s. Thank you for your comments in advanced!

The book I’m reading now is called, Shark Man by Rodney Fox. I found this book, yet again, in Mr. Carpenter’s room. I was just randomly looking for a book and I chose this book because I’m scared of sharks and lots of people say that when you know about something that you’re scared of, it doesn’t scare you when you really learn things about it.Read more >>
Kangaroo Rats
Submitted by gazieva2 on March 7, 2010 - 5:29pm
There are seven kangaroo rat species. They live in the South West of United States of America. The kangaroo rats weigh four ounces and they measure fifteen inches. Kangaroo rats start mating in April or August. Then in about four weeks there becomes two, three, or four baby kangaroo rats. They start out hairless and eyes and ears closed, so they see or hear anything.
The mother kangaroo rat stays with the babies and protects them for fifteen days. The badger can come over and dig to find the babies and the mother and eat them. Kangaroo rats come at night and look around for food. They eat seeds, plants, or roots. They keep the food in their cheeks.

It can be very dangerous and not good if you don't dress correctly in cold temperatures. Blocked roads and power lines falling down is caused by heavy snow and ice. During winter, there can be lot of heavy snowfall and it can be very cold in lots areas of different countries.

You pin the paper on the refrigerator. You hold it into place. Then, you raise your hand up, with your trusty magnet. Your hand reaches out and the magnet goes, it's being lured by the magnetic forces of the refrigerator. Slap! The magnet ends up on the refrigerator, pinning the paper into place without it ever falling. Now, how'd you do that?
I found out all of this in the book I00 Things You Should Know About Science by Steve Parker.It's called magnetic force. First of all, you have to know what a magnet is.Read more >>

Since i did not finish the book i got form Mr.carpenter's library i thought i would use it again.
In the universe there are obviously more than the moon and the earth, the sun. The sun beleive it or not is a star. A star has a core of nuclear fusion and like the sun the energy flows out into space as heat and light. That's why the stars in the night sky are so bright. Although the stars seem small, think about the sun, a star which is 109 bigger than the earth. Also, the sun is the closest star to the earth. The star that is next closest is 7,000 times the length of earth to pluto.Read more >>
HOLY Sea COW! //Biology
Submitted by vyan on February 27, 2010 - 11:49am
Those big, burly sea cows that, from a distance in the pitches of dark nights, have a similar appearance to mermaids … or, on a more likely comparison, they look like walruses—minus the ivory tusks. Sea cows are, in fact, their nicknames, for their pudgy physique that cows have (they aren’t related to cows, though, but elephants).Read more >>
