My Symbiosis Project =)

In my science class, we had to do an assignment when we had to take a picture of a symbiosis relationship and type a paragraph. My picture was supposed to be my rabbit and I but I couldn't post, so here's my paragraph:

The picture for my project depicts the symbiotic relationship between my pet rabbit and I (which couldn't be posted ) =(. That picture was taken in South Brunswick. My pet rabbit and i show mutualism which is a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit. In this relationship, my rabbit benefits because it is provided food and shelter while i have a companion that i take care of and play with. This is an important relationship because with pets they teach you responsibility, you become less lonely, and they always brighten up your day. Without pets like rabbits, life would be more stressful and you wouldn't be the happiest person in the world. It is also said that if you have a pet it will increase your lifespan too. That's why you should get a pet today! - By Vikinggirl15

=( Penguins in Danger as Climate Rises- current event # 2

Because of climate changes, the population of penguins in Antartica are in jeperody from global warming. For some penguins, global warming is taking away precious areas which is where they raise their babies. However, for others food is becoming increasingly in short supply because global warming is in conjunction with overfishing. Now the penguins are in a tough battle to adapt to the unpredictable changing weather. Also for many years, sea ice has been breaking off earlier than they are supposed to (because of climate changes) and many chicks and eggs have drifted away before being able to survive on their own causing them to die by not having anyone to take care of them or feed them. This is a sad and depressing thing to happen and i hope that penguins don't become extinct and that penguins will still be here in the future. I got this information from: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071213203604.htm

Current event- Polar Bears

Today polar bears from the artic are becoming endangered, even though the population has increased from the late 1960s. The question is why is this happening, this is happening because of loss of sea ice and the loss of sea ice is caused by global warning. Now today there are ONLY 25,000 POLAR BEARS LEFT! That might be a big number to you but it isn't for a population. Hopefully we can help these animals and stop them from extinction..http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/05/14/sot.polar.bear.status.cnnbear.status.cnnclick this link to see my article

Class Response

A few days ago in science class, our teacher got the new Smart Board and on the Smart Board we got to do these activities when we got to study for the quiz on Friday in a fun way.
Three Interesting Facts Are:
*That its fun using the Smart Board instead of doing worksheets
*You can operate the Smart Board by just a touch of a finger
*The Smart Board is very delicate so you have to be careful with it
In my opinion i think that the Smart Board is a fun way to learn. Its easier and you don't waste as much paper. With the Smart Board, we can learn things about ecology like, that producers make their own food, consumers can't make their own food and have to hunt or receive it somehow, and decomposers take things like dead animals and break them down to eat them.
