We all know, and some of us may have been bitten by, jellyfishes. But something unbelievable happened at the coast of China and north- south Korea. GIANT JELLYFISHES WERE FOUND! Divers first saw them and it was something that nobody could believe. Those "small" jellyfishes weigh  450 pounds, just like a female lion. That is actually the reason that fishers' nets break. Because of the weigh. They actually poisson other fishes so fishers can't sell them. They are trying to invent some nets that will keep them away. Another thought is to  sell them so people can actually eat them. Scientists believe that they came so close to the coats because they have food to eat because they are not a lot of fishers to take the fishes.
I chose this article because the photo grabbed my attention. Searching through a lot of sites it was the only one that interested me. I learned that those kind of jellyfishes when they are born they are like a grain but after six months those babies become like washing machines. I really agree with the author and those fishes may destroy peoples' boats or nets. They are kind of dangerous creatures. I  definitely believe this article because they had a photo of a diver and the jellyfish and because we can trust this website.

NATURES CRYSTAL PALACE

NATURES CRYSTAL PALACE

At Mexico’s cave of crystals as the Mexicans call, a strange phenomenon was found. Under a laboratory microscope scientists observed the crystals and they found out that those tiny crystals grow less than a billionth of a meter per day. The scientists explained their fast growth by telling us that the temperature in the cave is about 50-58 degrees!

This article grabbed my attention because of the title and I thought it would be very nice and interesting. So it is. After a lengthy research, I found this pretty nice site that is well informed about a lot of interesting news. I learned a lot about crystals and it was really interesting. In my opinion this article is 100% true because strange things may happen in life. Unfortunately the article doesn’t give any detailed explanation of the composer of the crystals and how it is created. I know that the crystal has inside molecules, which are formed and developed under specific externals conditions.   This is another form of science that we will learn about them as time pass. I hope teachers have in mind to teach us about them because I think it is a very interesting unit of science. I hope you enjoyed the article so did I.  

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT LIVING THINGS AND WHAT WOULD WE LIKE TO LEARN?

All the living things have some common objectives. They all grow, they have needs, they multiply, they move and they breath. We know that some of the living things need special living conditions and some do not. I would like to know more about them. I would like to know what are the       consequences if they do not carry out their needs? Or what do they do if they are not in their natural home? How can they survive?

GOALS FOR SCIENCE

My first goal for Science is to increase my level in Science so I can explain easily any question that it will be needed to be answered.
My second goal is to enrich my Science vocabulary so I can speak better the "The language of Science"

Scientific Summer

 

My trip to Dubrovnik 

This summer I went to Croatia, to Dubrovnik for the second year, but this year we went with family friends with their daughter Renia, and we had a great time. The thing that I most enjoyed, with my friend Renia, was the half hour parachuting ride all around a small island right in the middle of Dubrovnik. It was so fun. You could see all the touristic boats and it is so fun because could see all the fishers.

 Parachuting is a water sport which is performed only in summer days without wind because, wind may drift the boat. So it is a parachute which you are tied very strong and then you wait until the parachute inflates. You feel like you are going to fell on the sea but then you go higher. Then you just sit on the belt, the boat pushes you and takes you really high. The world seems really tinny and the people look like spots. It is a really nice feeling to fly high and feel like you can reach the sky. I was over whelmed that I could “play” with THE POWER OF THE WIND. If I leaned my body to the left the parachute would change course. While you are falling the boat has a machine which you press a button and it automatically pulls you on the boat. It was a very nice experience that I would like to repeat next year. It was one of my favorite summers
