Fables The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

In this fable a wolf found a left over sheep skin. He wore it over his fur. When he started leading lambs away he feasted on them. I think that the moral of this story is don't judge people because of their looks. The lambs followed the wolf because they thought it was a sheep, and judged it. If the lambs took a chance to look they would have know that it wasn't a sheep it was a wolf

Wooden Bowls

In this story wooden bowls, it had touched me in a certain way and taught a valuable lesson. The lesson it had taught was to never take your family for granted. Some people dont have family and they would die to be in your position with family. Also, even f your elder makes a mistake many times or even a mess, you love them and should never hurt them. Lastly, treat others the way you want to be treated. The family put the grandfather in the corner to eat and when the little boy was making the wooden bowl for his mom and dad they started crying. They would not like to eat alone at a seperate table in the corner of the room. This connects to cares with responsibility. I picked responsibility because you have to be the responsible person. You can clean up a mess and you are responsible to treat him with love and care as he is the one that did the same to you.

Science Genetics

Ask A Geneticist

Q: Humans have 46 chromosomes, chimps have 46 chromosomes, but do we have more or less genes than chimps?

A: Chimps and humans are 98% the same. Chimp's chromosomes can be two of our chromosomes in one. Many scientist have us thinking that one human chromosome can be the same as two in a chimp. Chromosomes can also be fused together or broken apart.

So what does make humans and chimps alike? People beleive that the answer is in the genomes that don't code for genes. The proteins in the two species seem to be the same, but the amount when and where in the body are all these proteins made.

Science Pea Plant

By reading the page about Mendal's discovery i learned a couple of things. I learned that a dominant gene is a gene that is stronger and powers over the recessive. This gene will be the one that you will see as a trait. For example, if your dad has brown hair and your mom has blond and you have brown. Your dad's genes were the dominant and that's how you have brown hair.
Another thing i learned is that whenever you write a dominant gene you always use capital letters. Recessive genes are writin with lower cassed. For example, if the dominant gene for the pea plant is tall you would write it like Tall. With the recessive gene, it is writin as tall.

Science Class Activity

In science class, one of my favorite labs was the owl pellet. This was my favorite lab because it was fun to do and we also learned a lot about the skelletons of rodents. I thought that this experiment was very fun because we got to have partners that we were friends with, therefore we got to socialize with them. Also, that it was more hands-on than other experiments. In this experiment we learned that owls have two stomachs. That the regergitate the fur and bones of the animal it eats. When we were doing this experiment the owl pellets varied. That meant that some of the class got big rodents and others got tiny ones. This lad was also easy to understand. There were not many scientific words used, and there was a bone sheet that helped you pick out what the boe was. This lab is, so far, my favorite lab.

Science Current Event #2

The title of the article i read was "Young Owl Flies to Freedom With a New Set of Eyes." This article was about an owl that had cataracts in both eyes. One day a lady called a veterinarian in Two Rivers, Wisconsin and asked "Is it normal for an owl to sit on a fence for three days without moving. The veterinarian said no, so they sent out wildlife people to get the owl. Th owl was then sent off to a Veternarian University. At the university the owl was examined and got its cataracts removed and an artificial lens. After the owl recovered they sent it back into the wild.

When reading this article I learned that sometimes many animals can have the same problem as humans. Also, I learned that this owl was not able to catch prey with its cataracts. That means that the owl wasn't eating much and had a very weak stomach. If I were in that owls possition i would be very greatful that many kind people helped me be able to now see and live with a regular eye.

Science Current Event

The article I read was "Rebirth of Yellowstone's Wolves." It was about two wolvs that had eight wolve pups, but then there were some diffuculties. First, the dad wolve was killed by a poacher. Next, they put the pups and the mother in a compound until they grew larger and could defend themselves, but a storm sweeping by knocked over the compound and the pups left. Then, park services found six of the pups and put them back in the compound with their mother, and the two others found a new parent from a different pack. When, the pups were released one was killed by a car. The mother and other pups paired up with the wolve that the two pups were with and became a family together.

Reading this article I learned that the wolves were endangered in Yellowstone. I also learned that the little wolves couldn't defend themselves or get food until they grew a little more. The part of this article that stated that they couldn't do much until they grew reminded me of bullying. When a bully is picking on a little kid the kid cant defend themselvs like the wolves.
