Mother Nature's Dream

Mother Nature's Dream

Mother Nature loves nature working together as a team.

 Animals helping each other, plants helping each other,

both working together. 

Though this is her dream and only is a dream,

 because when she wakes up the world is a mess.

We are making that mess. Everyday it becomes worse and worse.

Though dreams rarely come true lets make this one come true.

This world is our home, so let's treat it like a home and make it more

beautiful than ever.

Millions of animals die everyday, because of trash in the ocean and on land. 

I watch people throw trash out their window all the time. 

It is truly sad. 

I'am so very sad to be part of this race, that wastes tons and tons

of trash every year.

Help Mother Nature out, by saving the world, our home,

 millions of others home. We call it earth now,

 but if we keep wasting stuff, we will call it a 

trash can, and I don't know anyone

 who wants to call our true home a trash can.

KEEP CALM

AND

SAVE

 THE WORLD

Hopefully these two quotes that I made up will help you realize how bad this truly is. I was inspired to make the keep calm one, because everyone was making these styles of quotes, I had not seen anyone make one like this one so I decided to do so my self. As for the first one I wanted to tell you how badly we are polluting the air, oceans, and land. I really hope this opens up your minds to saving the world, even the smallest thing could make a big difference. Maybe if you figure out how to make a machine that will collect the oil in the ocean, please help out. 

Oh and by the way search Trash in Ocean, see what comes up. :(

Animmal Jam

Animal Jam is a fun online game that you may play on the computer. You can be different types of animals. When you are first building a account you can be a Wolf, Panda, Seal, Penguin, and some others animals I can't quite remember them all right now. 

There are options of being a non-member or a member. If you are a member you can get special things that non-members can't get, but of course you must pay money to be a member. I really want to be a member, because you can have pet owls. 

I hope you have a fun time playing this game.

The California Condor

The California Condor

Gypsus californianus

The California Condor is an endangered species. It is one of my favorite animals. This amazing bird has a 9 1/2 feet wing span. The crop that is a red spot on its chest stores food, because they eat dead carcasses. They can ride the thermals and don't have to flap there wings for about a hour. One of the most easiest ways to identify a Condor is that they have white in the front of there wings and the Turkey Vulture as the white in the back of the wings. The 49ers killed the birds and used the feathers to put gold, because the feathers are hollow. 

Being Parents 

The parents lay one egg at a time and take turns incubating the egg.  54 days of to incubat the egg. The parents spend 1 year or more with the chick. That means only 1 chick every other year.

I meant to post this when we went to Utah, but I got to busy seeing the sights I forgot to post it. So it is late, sorry. Life is always busy and it never turns out the way you want it to. 

Bookmarks

A bookmark does not only hold your place in the book your reading, but it is also a form of art. You can make all different types of bookmarks or can simply buy them at stores. I belief that making them yourself is easier, because you can make tons and tons of them for only a few dollars. You can not run out of ideas for making them. Here are some pictures for ideas.

I love these bookmarks so much, because you can put them on the corner of the page.  I have not made any of these yet even though I love them so much.









These paper-clip bookmarks are really easy to make and are so cool looking.

I hope this blog post inspires you to make your own

 bookmarks, and do use them.

A Poem for Two Voices

Mom, my bother, and me were listening to Joyful Noise by Paul Fleischman. I was inspired to make my own poem for two voices. I felt my poem should not be about insects or birds, so I made my poem about a picture I made with chalk, oil pastels, and color pencils.

Above the clouds                         

                                                      Birds call 

the orders to                                  the orders to

fly lower                                       fly higher

Beside the skyscraper                   

                                                      Is a tree

green

                                                      brown

beautiful                                        beautiful

Under the tree

                                                      Is a person

sleeping

                                                      resting

snoring quaitly                              snoring loudly 

Below the sea

                                                      are fish

ells

and many more                              and many more

creepy crawlies                              curous creatures  

Fun Facts about Grand Canyon and the Colorado River

1. The Grand Canyon is still getting bigger every year. The canyon widens 5 sheets thick of paper each year and gets deeper 1 sheet thick of paper every year.
2.The Mississippi drops 6 inches for every mile as it travels to the ocean, and the Colorado drops 8-9 feet for every mile.
3. There is 20-25 feet of snow every year on the north rim, and only 10-12 inches on the south rim.
4. The north rim eroded away from the canyon faster then the south rim.
5. Grand Canyon was the second site to have California Condor released.
6. 76 California Condors are now in the Grand Canyon.

DUDE! Can You Identify the Layers of the Grand Canyon?

Dude completely tells you how the Grand Canyon was made. Deposition, Uplift, Downcutting, and Erosion all have to work together to make a canyon and they have to work in the order listed below.

Deposition - layers of sediment and organic material
Uplift - when the oceanic plate pushed under the continental plate (Colorado Plateau)
Downcutting - downward erosion by rivers that deepen the channel
Erosion - weathering by wind and water

Identifying the Layers

1. Granite veins (pink) is called schist and is at the bottom of the canyon
2. Limestone is white but looks red because it is porous and iron collects in the holes and is later oxidized
3. Sandstone is the white ring called the bathtub ring
4. Mudstone is the sloping layer of the canyon because when mud gets wet, it slowly slides off in a slope
