Submitted by rduran on March 16, 2010 - 6:33pm
the owl have very good eye sight. They only come out in the dark. These owls have many prey, but one of the common one is the mouse. You don't really see the owl to much, because it comes out at dark. This is my blog post.
In my book birds there are many amazing things. There are about 90,000 birds in the entire earth. They live all around the world, in many different climates. One of my favorite is the Hawk. It is a powerful bird with many preys. It can also go really fast.

Submitted by vyan on March 12, 2010 - 11:30pm
The title of the information I have researched for this blog post is Barred Owl – Strix varia, by Owl Pages, the author. It’s actually a web page but holds just as much information a typical book would hold, minus the dust and worms. I chose to read about Barred Owls because owls fascinate me in many perspectives; the goddess Athena is symbolized by these wise owls, and they are also featured as messengers in Hogwarts, mentioned in the Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling, I reread numerously and enjoy.Read more >>
You Try Changing Colors!
Submitted by jchoi on March 15, 2010 - 8:43pm
It's all green as far as the eye can see. There's light green, there's moss green, there's dark green, there's sea green, there's blue green etc. In front of you is green. Then, something green moves, leaving behind some more green. The green actually...runs. Yet, you don't even know in the tiniest bit what that was. Guess who?

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!

Im currently reading a book about a brain, which my friend gave me to read while i was at his house. I choose to read this book because it was really interesting. We did a unit about brains in health and wellness, but i felt i didnt understand or learn many things. The book is called All about brains and itslef, the brain is made of 100s of nerves, and wires that connect all over, making different movement, by using different nerves. Theirs almost every nerve for every movement or action a humanbody can perform. The spinal cord is right behind your neck, and the brain inside of your head skull.Read more >>

Humans smell like Birds?
Submitted by dportilla on October 30, 2009 - 4:52pm
This week I read an amazing article of why Mosquitoes drink our blood. It really interested me becuase it said two interesting things I didnt know. One thing I learned is that Mosquitoes used to drink the blood of birds. I always thought those creatures only drank human blood. I never stopped to think of what they might have fed off of before humans were born. Now I learned that the disease started from the infected birds and traveled to the mosquiteos when they drank their blood.
Back to the whole people smelling like bird again. What sceintests did to test this, they tested the smells of 16 people and pigeons. One of the scents was the same.Read more >>

Why do you go to the airport?
Submitted by dportilla on March 15, 2010 - 6:02pm
My mom works at the airport so I travel a lot, and when I go I go to fly, but some people go to find the skull of the first reptile amphibian. I really don’t think that’s something I would go to the airport to find. Well sure if I knew it was there but I have no clue how they found it. It was in 2004 around Pittsburg National Airport. Fed Ex owns the land that the fossil was found on. So it has been named Fedexia Striegeli. That’s right Fed Ex owning the land named a three hundred million year old large reptile after their company name. There is very few of them too.Read more >>

Sharks
Submitted by jmejio on March 15, 2010 - 4:30pm
SHARk aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!. Sharks have the most powerful jaws on the planet. Unlike most animals' jaws, both the sharks' upper and lower jaws move, A shark bites with it's lower jaw first and then its upper. It tosses its head back and forth to tear loose a piece of meat which it swallows whole. Each type of shark has a different shaped tooth depending on their diet, Sharks never run out of teeth, if they loose one a new one grows from their large mouth just like us, except a shark has rows and rows of teeth.
