Civics Q.P.

Starting off with a did you know, is often a good sign, so let us do that. Wait, the blog is already running?

**Rewind**

Did you know that the USA is one of the two countries that allows citizens to vote, with Canada being the second. Other places citizens don't have a lot (if any) leverage in politics.

Rock wall Climbing

I went rock wall climbing at a home school event on the 19th of December and it was awesome. It was about 20 feet high, and it was at the Niagara Climbing Center. I went because it sounded cool. They had ones with barely any rocks, they had cliffs, and they had one where you went up, upside down, then had to go back up. I'm OK at climbing, but not the world's best. You may think hand holds are important, but you need LOTS OF FOOT HOLDS, even more than hand holds. I had lots of fun! Adios!

Ecosystem Blog.

I learned about a lot of ecosystem, like tundras and deserts, rainforests and plains, and more! A tundra is basically a desert, only that it has snow instead of sand and cold instead of warmth. Rainforests and plains are very different. If the two of them had the same type of rain storm, both would react differently to the same thing. That is because that these biomes have different animals, plants and terrain. taking a prairie dog and a squirrel and switching them would NOT be  a good idea. They wouldn't last long, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to eat, how to defend from predators, the list goes on and on. Take humans. Taking someone from one city, county, country, and putting him (or her) into a different city, county, or country will not have good results.

That is a sum of what I learned. Adios!

Cow Eye Dissection.

Yup. I. Dissected. A. Cow. Eye. And. A. Grasshopper. And. It. Was....
AWESOME. Really Cool. I got to look at the retina, cornea, pupil, lens. and iris. Cows can only move their eyes up and down, side to side. And not in combination. However, they can see in the dark, to watch out for predators. Then we did a Grasshopper, which had two set of wings, but one of which worked. The other was for protecting the working ones, the hind wings. The protectors were fore wings. I got to look at the air sack, and the inside of the head, thorax and abdomen. They also have a compound and simple eye!

Yup, dissecting is really cool. I'll be blogging about a mouse next time I do! Adios!

History. World War II: Hitler

Hitler is... well... very well known. That is, for leading Germany straight into World War two.But about other things? No one cares to ask about that, for "he's a evil man and that's that." But we, as humans, are drawn to curiosity, as I was to Adolf Hitler's background. He was born in 1889 and died in 1945. He was a Chancellor in 1933, and he launched a massive program of state spending that wiped out unemployment. He was unwavering in his anti-Semitism and hatred of communism. His moves to military progress were more tentative. He joined and became leader of the Nazis, and he slowly began to thing that world war I could be avenged. The Nazis began rising in votes, and soon Hitler was in control of Germany. He named himself Der Fuhrer. And then he started the war.

That's a little you didn't know! Adios!
