Frogs by Jack

        Frogs are a type of animal called an amphibian. An amphibian can live in water and land. Frogs  breath through their skin. They call for mates with a croaking sound in their throat. Their skin is semi-permeable, which means they perish if on land too long. Frog eggs go through a stage of metamorphosis, they change over time into frogs. You probably know this already. Frog legs are valued as food for humans, their legs taste like mild chicken! Frogs have bright colors to warn predators like a poisonous tree frog. The biggest frogs are the size of dinner plates! These are I think Goliath Frogs or American Bull frog. Frogs have no tails, but in the metamorphic stage, they are born with tails. Some frogs even eat birds! One ancient amphibian, the Koolasuchus, was a huge, black amphibian with a large tail. This thing ate dinosaurs! Many frogs camouflage in leaves. They have almost 360 Degree eyesight and binocular vision! I'm pretty sure toads and frogs are relatives. There is something called a Golden Toad which was last seen in 1989! Sadly, this animal is extinct. Or is it?! >:-|. This toad's lifespan is unknown but its family lives up to 10-12. People in school sometimes dissect frogs to study them. I used to own 2 small frogs and you could see their intestines! It was crazy! It was crazy! You could see the stomach and other parts! The skin was transparent enough to see the inside! Frogs are amazing or slimy! You can find them almost everywhere! Except some deserts and mountains. Frogs have many ways to defend themselves. Frogs are very interesting creatures. They are awesome!

Seed Dispersion are the things that plants need to live.

1.Wind
It is  one of the things that plants need to live- helicopter seed spreads are when they spread from a super high wind. Then there is parachute, its where they go high and go down like a parachute from a plane.


2. Water is mainly what plants need to live. Everyone needs it to live. Good floaters and waterproof.

3. Animals make seeds sometimes, creature dung is used to freshen soil, (NOT IN THE TOILET)

4.Explosions are the last thing plants need to live. Maybe it spreads wind or something. Maybe they need sunglasses to watch it. The wind spreads the seeds.                                                                     ☢---☢ nuclear explosion

Seed Dispersion By Jack

Seeds always find a way to disperse no matter where they are. Dispersion means to spread out. There are 4 ways to disperse for plants. Wind, Water, Animals, and !Explosions!  Wind is the most common way for seeds to spread. There are 2 forms of seed shapes that help them spread. The first is helicopter. The seed is shaped like a wing and then spin around and around. It then catches the wind and spreads. The next is a parachute. It floats slowly to the ground and then flies away. The next is water. This has only 1 way to spread. They are waterproof and light. Things like sea bean and coconut float to other islands and are planted.



       Animals help seeds spread very efficiently. One way is that the seed is shaped like a hook and sticks to animals e.g deer and then spread! Another way is that seeds land in their food and they get pooped out. The poop can help the plants like fertilizer. Another way is squirrels bury and move the seeds to where they put it. And finally the 'explosions'. They are not really explosions just seed pods bursting. These pods burst and then the seeds are dispersed by the wind.

Mclaren Automotive

Mclaren Automotive, commonly referred to as Mclaren, is a British automotive manufacturer of high-performance vehicles. The company was established as Mclaren Cars in 1989 as a producer of road cars based on Formula One Technology, and supercars and in 2009, a new company was made and known as Mclaren Racing, the F1 constructor and is a spinoff of the Mclaren Group.


                                                                                                                      Mclaren 675LT Left side on bottom.

Bruce McLaren was killed testing a McLaren M8D at Goodwood in 1970.

  He made the racing team and I think the company or someone he knew, when he died made the supercars.
  Dunno. Tell me :/
  
  <---- One thing we know about that car that if Bruce died of that, it must've went insanely fast. I think it is banned on F1 races, if people still race with it today.
  
  Mclaren's supercar models, dunno who made them but THEY ROCK! I went to a car show with my dad, and we saw a Mclaren 675LT! It was amazing!
   Rear of the Mclaren 675LT.  SO COOL!
  We saw other cool models, but let's get back to what they did with Mclaren.
  
  Mclaren F1 or FI people think it is the rarest.It is used in races, but other F1 racers think it should be in supercar races. Compare these for me:,.
  What's the difference? I guess they meant different cars.

Tornadoes

        You guys know that there are tornadoes over in Louisiana right? Well I'm going to talk about tornadoes today :) Tornadoes are also called cyclones, twisters, and hurricanes (tornadoes on water). They are measured by F0-F5 on their size. 5 is the strongest. Many do not have power right now. Over 9000 homes! Most tornadoes spin less than 110 mph. They go 300 mph an hour.


         These things pick up dirt, debris, even water! This tornado is causing a lot of wind where we are. Its raining a lot here too. Tornadoes form in the Midwest and head over to the East. Tornadoes cause a lot of damage but kill few fortunately. I'm pretty sure these things can be seen from space. Oklahoma is the center of tornadoes. It is called Tornado Alley. Scientists still do not know the exact mechanisms by which most tornadoes form, and occasional tornadoes still strike without a tornado warning being issued. Some people chase and study tornadoes. This tornado has hit the Gulf Coast and Texas. The death toll from all tornadoes in US every year is 60.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE

Bernie Sanders thinks that it is unfair for people that have been in jail for about 5 years, must be freed. The ones that were super bad, examples:accused for murder, raiding towns, etc. shouldn't be freed.

This is crazy. More people are in jail, that's what Bernie Said. He said most people have to have freedom, and the ones that are not worthy of getting freedom, accused for murder, raiding towns, etc.

Constantinople 2

    Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman turks. These Turks conquered the Byzantine empire, but left Constantinople because it was too strong. Ottoman Turks originate from modern day turkey. They started off as a few tribes and became a whole nation! They were very strong! They soon reached Constantinople and attacked! Then the leader/king of turks, was pretending to be nice and sending letters, but he was building the first ever cannons! Constantinople found out and sent protesters but their heads were chopped off! :O  Then the Turks got ready to fight but the cannons were not enough. Constantinople was on a peninsula with water on 1 side. The turks rolled boats with logs over to the ships! The people of Constantinople said that they would win when the moon turns dark. They didn't win! The emperor of Byzantium was killed in the fight. Now the Ottoman turks owned Constantinople and the Byzantium empire! They play an important part in history of how they defeated Constantinople.
