- Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue? Well that is what we are learning is science right now. We are learning why we see colors and how light works. We really haven't learned why the sky is blue but this it what I think:atmosphere reflects the blue from the ocean. But why I don't really believe that is because the ocean isn't all over the world. If this is true why do we have blue skies over the continents? I will be writing next week the correct answer for why is the sky blue.  

_       Fossils can be found all over the planet. The thing that we find weird is that scientists have found plants that need warm weather in places like Antartica. How is this so? How do plants like this end up in places that are below freezing? There are many reasons for this. What do you think happened? 
     One of the main reasons for this is the fact that millions of years ago all of the cintinents were all together in one huge super-continent. This super-continent is called Pangea. The way that Pangea fits in here is that when Pangea was around plants and animals were all over and when Pangea broke up the plants and animals sometimes also go broken up- this is why we find the same fossil on different continents. When the contents were moving they went through some weather changes, and that is why we have warm- weather fossils in Antartica. 

-     We have recently started our fourth quarter project. we are designing a web page on a certain animal for the Fresno Caffee Zoo. I am in a group with Jasmine, Melissa and Amy. We are doing our project on the ring-tailed lemur. This is going to be a grade for not only science but also computers. So we really need to do well on it. 
Last week we were given a research paper. the paper that I got was on human interaction. So I had to do some  research so that I could fill it out . I had to find answers like how are lemurs being protected and are  how do they act in zoos. For me this took some time because I looked on multiple websites to verify that this information is true. I did this so that our web page was a reliable source and because I wanted to get a better grade. Today we will be starting on the computer portion of the project. It should be fun! 

Each person has thier own opinion on what the greatest sceinctific discovery has been. I think that it has been darwin's therroy of natural selection. I think this is it because since we have made this dicovery, we have been able to better know were we come from. We have learned that over the years populations change. 
      Darwins theroy of natural selection is basicllly suvival of the fittest. If one animals with a mutation lives longer than one without the mutation that mutaion might be spread through out the entire population thus the population has evolved. this is good because with the mutaion, everyone can work and finction better. Mutations aren't always good. Some mutations are bad, and hopefully the animal carring the mutation dies before it can reporduce and spread it throught the enitre poputation. This is the theroy of natural selection.
