Favorite character in the Story

In the story of the "Old Man In the Sea" my favorite character is the old man. He is a curious and risk taking old man. For example he spent 89 days at sea trying to catch this one fish, so that it would show all the other fisher men he is still capable of catching great fish. Like he says in this one line, "I must have a clear head." He preserverance to get the fish is remarkable during the entire story. My moms favorite character in the story is the boy. The boy at first fished with the old man, but then his parents made him stop because the old man hadn't caught anything due to bad luck as they call it in the book. She really like that he helped the old man all the time. For example with his coffee in the morning, with taking the mast of the boat when he came bad from his fishing trips and much more.   

Pea Pollination

Important words from the text

Heredity= The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring

Trait= a characteristic that an organism can pass to its offspring through its genes.

Genetics= the scientific study of heredity.
Fertilization= the process where a new organism begins to form when egg and sperm join.

Purebred= organism is the same offspring of many generations that have the same trait. 

Hybrid= organism that has mixed, different traits.

Crossing Pea Plants

1. To prevent self-pollination, Mendel removed the pollen-producing structures from a pink flower.

2. He used a brush to remove pollen from a white flower to another plant. He brushed this pollen onto the pink plant.

3. The egg cells in the pink flower were then fertilized by sperm from the white flower. After a time, peas formed in the pod.

4. Then you get the crossing of pollination. 

Samples

I think that Mendel would have to take 1000 samples for each plant to get a very accurate estimate to see what the pollination of pea plants.

Reflection on glogster presentation

This reflection is going to be about my glogster page which i did a few weeks ago for a book that i read, the book is calles "Ravens Gate" the book is a non fiction book but it really makes your brain work in the sense it makes you pounder and its full of mysteries. Now lets go into the book.

The reason we made a glogster for our book is because we wanted to share and show all our interests in book and what they have to offer. My book is Ravens Gate it is a great book if you like mysteries and wild features like power, magic and other crazy fiction things. This book brought me rupture because it was interesting and once you start you can never stop reading it. The book was about a boy and his friend that went into a ware house that had a every game in the world and all of these games were not out in the stores yet so they wanted to get them before anyone else did. When they were in there a police man came and then the boys were dumbfounded and they went to jail for 2 days so that the get a punishment for what the did. The way i did the glogster page was revolved around death and blood most and that was the theme for the page, but the writing was pretty peace full and it was with blood or anything. I thought that the book and the glogster were great for me and i really enjoyed doing it and the best part was that i could show it to all my class mates, so they could understand and know what i am reading and learning in the book. But the only thing i didn't really like in the book was there were to many deaths, killing and blood all of those i dont like.

So from my reflection you should get a good sense of what my book is about and my feeling about the book and the whole project its self, hope you like the book if you ever read it after you read my reflection.
