March of the Penguins

1)They have to overcome going and coming back to feed their baby's. They also have to overcome that there baby has to survive while the mother goes to another place and gets food so they can feed there baby's.
2)It challenges them because one one day there could be a storm and the next day it could just be all calm and stuff then the next couple of days it could be a storm.
3)They have to adapt to different environments and different predators because if they go to one place and the weather is cold and the ice is sold then there there predators would most likely be birds but if they are places wheres there's water then there predators are going to be sea lions.
4)There's no sunlight because they are on the opposite pole and it effects the climate because it will get really frozen and they don't want to be anywhere where the ice is not solid because then there young one can fall through the ice and they are worried about that.
5)The ground has to be solid frozen so that there little ones won't fall through the ice also the climate can change because if the weather is really cold then they are gonna have to all get to together and that means that they won't be able to mate with each other.

This is a very bad disease if it spreads out lots of people can die or can get hurt really bad. We all can be apart of this Foldit thing because we all are human beings. Critical thinking can help the scientist learn how to cure the disease or at least learn how to keep it stable. I would learn how to cure cancer and help people become better and live there life.

2 Single Story2011

Danger of a Single Story
Chimanada Adiche had grew up with a book that only had white people with blue eyes and they talked about weather. A single story means to be races or bias which means people are trying to be mean or make conclusions about other people when they aren't really that. One story that i had before was that only certain people can do things and only rich people can get nice things but the ting missing from it was that all people can get anything. A story that i heard about another community is that east Austin is bad and we can succeed but we can because we are all smart. A game can explain how a community is like and what you do there and see there it also explains what type of environment is it like there.

1 Cyberbully

Cyberbully

This is my first blog of 8th grade.In the begining of the video she doesnt lke to use it because it was dumb to her. Her family situation is that her father is away and she told him se dont want him and she really likes this guy but then he dont like her back. The result of cyberbullying for Taylor is that she gets a laptop and then she makes a clicksters then she starts talking to Scott the boy she likes . Then this guy James but it was a fake and the person that had been cyberbullying her and it was her own bestfriend. Then the guy James says that Taylor and him had did something bad then she told him no then a girl from school named Linsey she started to call her names. Then Taylor started to say bad things. She experiences impersonating bullying and threating and gossip but she mainly was being impersonated. She starts to feel like she doesnt belong in the world. So she trys to kill her self but her friends sees the video on clicksters and she hurrys to the home and stops her her. She trys to stop them but they didnt she could have done what her mother told her to do and shut down her profile and never get on again. I think she felt sad and bad that her friends were betraying her. The changes i see her doing is trying to shut down the clicksters website and taking classes for the clicksters bullying and she finally faces up to linsey then the whole school does and linsey is hushed and Taylor gets to be with scot.

Winding Down
My team name is JamPack.
The name of my gamde is called the Weather Checkers.
Our game is about the danger of weather and what to do if there is weather storm that is happening.
We have completed all of our scenes which are title scene, level one, level two, the about page and the instructions page.
Only the part where we have to explain the information about our game.
Right now i only need about like one more scene to complete so that we can all be done with the game.
I could work on the game everyday and try my hardest if i was to grade myself on the game i would give myself a ten because i did a lot of work.
Well i have learned lots of thing from each of the classes so i really cant explain what i have learned but about the game i have learned that you need your team inorder to finish the game.
ii am proud of getting nominated for the best proga mmer which is is basically the person that puts in the code.
I can improve next year by learning new codes and how to do them and help the teacher also if she needs some help.

The website iCivics.org teaches you about political things like how you can defend a person who isnt guilty of doiung something. It also teaches you about the different things in civics environment. It lets you play games which are about civics and they tell you to do different things. I liked the game arguemant wars because you can defend the non guilty person. I also like the information that it gives you about the civic things that are going on in the world now.

This new thing is so cool. now of days people are coming out with new technology. The price for this incredible new technology is only $249.99. Isnt that cheap to kids but adults its like that much just for that wait for when it gets cheaper. The aslo cool thing about this is you dont even need glasses for the game to be 3d isnt that so cool. Only if they made movies like that you dont glasses to watch 3d. The other cool thing is also all of the Nintendo 3ds games are also going to play in 2d mode as well so if you get tired of 3d which i think you wont then you can switch it to 2d and they say it looks better than all of the other handheld gameing devices. And i retrieved this image from geekosystem.com

The disaster in Japan ws terrifying when i heard about it. The earthquake and tsunami was very disturbing for me because thousnads of peple died. And now these kids are trying to rasie money for Japan so they could at least have food and other supplies. It is very sad because what if that had hapen to us. But we should do a fun raiser for them just like how we did for hati. We can sell all kinds of things to help rasie money for Japan so they can at least have some clothes and a little bit of food. I got this mage from upallday.net

This is the best PSP becuase you can move it in the back to and it is also toyuch screen. It also has to controls on each side just like a regular controller. So this PSP is not only going to be used for only like serval months it is going to be fun for serval years they say. You can also move it from side to side just like a ipod touch or iphone so the game could move. They say that the power is in your hands now. So this is going to be a very cool thing. I got this image from lapthop.com and these are really cool.http://lapthop.com

The game that i like the much is Jet Ski Addition becaus eyou can race your friends and race other people. It teaches you all kind of things like how to add multiply and subtract and all that good stuff. So at the end this game is fun and educational. the way the game works is by you are driving a jet ski and they will give you problems then you have to answer them correctly to move foward. If you answer them wrong then you dont move anywhere.

JLoBully From The Block
The game J LO is fun. You have to avoid getting captured by j lo. The object of this game is to save the animals and the people. The animals you save is because J Lo has killed them and use their fur to make clothing so you are trying to stop her before she captures you. You only get three chances to try then you have to start over. There are only three levels in this game but they are all fun levels. The Social issue for this game is that celbraties are killing alot of animals for their clothes.
Super Chick Sisters
The game Super Chick Sisters is really cool and fun. It is also addicting to play. You have to try not get touched by the jumping hamburgers. The object to this game is to save the princess. The social issue to this game is that all the chickens are dying because people are using to many of them for food. The social issue for this game is that fast fod restraunts are killing to many chickens but some are keeping them safe and use them when they need to.
Information about both games
In both f the games you use the arrow keys to move and for J Lo the space bar is to free the animals and the people. In the game Super Chick Sisters you do the same with the arrow keys but instead for the space bar is use for jumping. But both of the game have to do with saving a species or other species for instance J Lo you have to save different types of species example:cats, dogs,and others.

Google Science Fair
I think i can see my self in the google science fair because i love science and i have won a science fair. I think the google science fair is a very great thing to do because they are letting any kids that love science and like to do experiments. I can see myself entering this contest because it would be something that i can do and maybe i can enter next year. It would be cool because we are competing with kids all over the world. It is also awesome because we dont know what kids learn over there in their country or state. The ideas that i have for the project is can black holes ever go away or maybe do some other i can learn over in science i can also ask my science teacher to give me some ideas. I would focus on robotics science so we could use them for different things like help workers or people that work all night at a job. I do believe in myself on everything that i enter even if someone is bigger thanme.
