Ah, asexual and sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction is alot differenter than sexual. Asexual only uses one parent, and produces identical offspring. When I was little I wanted to be asexual. I read about it in a science book, and for two years I went around thinking I was asexual. While asexual reproduction is a one-organism job, sexual reproduction is with two parents, two genes, and 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Ha. I am to imagine I am a surgeon. How did the frog dissection help me? Well, first of all, what kind of surgeon am I? What school did I attend? I hope it was Stanford. Was it a med-school? Obviously. Was it good education? For Stanford, yes. Am I working in a hospital? I hope soDo I have a degree, or am I working illegally? Let's say I need to take out the gall bladder of a human, so I work on a frog first. Oh, that won't work. We have special machines for removing gall bladders. But to get the gall bladder out of our frog, we had to snap it's clavicle or something. Ew. I feel like someone is snapping my ribs now, just by thinking about it. Ow. I guess the frog is so similar to a human, like rats, that they are our test subjects, and we can operate on them, and see the results. If things go wrong, we know what we did wrong, and all we did was kill a measly frog rather than a human. My ribs again.... If things go right, we can try it on a human.
Okay, first of all, Chaffee Zoo, you lied! You said the Woma Python won't be coming in until June 8th. Guess what I found in the reptile house? A Woma. Hmph. Two of them, actually. Well anyways, it was very interesting to watch. The research I've done said that Womas in captivity tend to move at odd angles, if they're in a cage. To always keep the tank closed, Womas can crawl out. Well one of the pythons of that species there were doing that too. He was climbing on the wall a bit, defying gravity. It was quite amusing. The other one was just lying under a log.
Though I didn't like the trip much, it was really fun to see the Woma after

What forms a rainbow?
Well, there's more to it than after it rains. In fact, the source is light. Sunlight, in fact.
When the light hits the water, or something transparent, a beautiful thing happens. A rainbow is like a mirror, but it doesn't reflect objects.
Light hits the water and instead of absorbing all the colors, like most transparent things would do, it reflects all of the colors off the spectrum. They bounce together, in the sequential order, forming, well, a rainbow.
A rainbow is not something plainly because it rained, and oh, the sky is clear, let's make a rainbow. It's science.
Still, a rainbow is nice, I guess.
I don't really know what else. Good luck on CST testing, maybe?

Research was allowed.
Do you want to know the answer?
The sky is blue because....dun dun dun.....light.

Not what I was expecting either, but the sky absorbs all the colors of white light and reflects the others. I'm not very excited, either. confirm(comma "either"). Well, might as well have a little lesson. ROY G. BIV. The spectrum of the colors of light in order of wavelength.
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet.
Congrats, you also learned the rainbow.

No research was allowed in the making of this blog post. Cough, cough. No, but seriously, I didn't do research. Really. So here's my theory. I do think it has something to do with light, really. Maybe the ozone and the stratosphere are reflecting something. Maybe the atmosphere is reflecting all the water. Or maybe it has nothing to do with light at all. The sky doesn't look very blue to me. (This is NOT a pollution and stuff, rant. I don't, quite frankly, care about pollution or global warming) To me, the sky is a variety of colors, and not just on sunset. During the day, the sky is as white as paper (haha, not really paper. Paper is always dirty with food stains or fingerprints), and at night, it's not black, but it's sort of a grey. I think the sky is somehow reflecting off of space. The moon, the sun, or maybe-the ice. Did I just confuse you? Good. I know there is a completely scientific definition to this question, but is everything really about science? Don't look at me like that. I'm not an Atheist. Swear. But seriously, some
Alright, focusing on Pangaea.
Oh, I'm sorry, do you not believe in it? Yes you do. Do not deny it in front of a science-fact freak.
So, temperate climate plant fossils have been found in Antarctica. What shalt (I made that word up right now) this mean? Well, first of all, honestly, there are two things.
1. Earth used to be nice and warm over there. As in, not all snowy and blizzardous, so it shows the Earth this humid, arid land.
OR
2. Pangaea.
Earth used to be one big supercontinent, all connected together, the weather pretty much the same since ocean currents weren't contradicting eachother. That's why the same plants were found all over the world. There's no other reason. I mean, plants don't swim.

It's April 23rd, guys. Two things, Maya's birthday, and International Whovian Silence Day.
If you see tally marks written in Sharpie all over my arms, some on my neck, I am not obsessed with tally marks.
Okay, I am, but that's not why I have them.
Blink.
Our animal is the Woma. (Woe-muh)
Did you know that Woma pythons are the most common snake to buy as a pet? Many people don't know they're buying a Woma-just that they have a python. But, in Australia, you have to have a license to buy and/or sell Womas. Why Australia, do you ask? Womas live in/are from, are hunted/are killed in Australia.
The Woma is a beautiful snake, but it's endangered. There are laws and a section under the ICUN List to protect the Woma due to humans. Some people skin and eat the Woma, or skin it just for it's beautiful scales to put on a stupid handbag. It's kind of sick, actually.
Womas are harmless, so there's no reason to kill them. They appear poisonous to protect themselves against predators, but they're not. Just remember, Womas are endangered, so if you ever get one (and you should, they're truly beautiful), take care of it dearly.

(A.K.A. Greatest Scientific Discovery)
Um, Welcome back from Break! Anyone watch Doctor Who?
________________________________________________
I'd definitely have to say the greatest (in my personal, factual, awesome opinion, that the greatest scientific discovery is electricity. I know, my opinion is not very original, but think about it. Without electricity, would I be typing this sentence out right now? Would I be sitting in this seat, listening to the sound of students practically smashing each and every key from the keyboard? Would I even be in this school?
Electricity is what keeps us from getting sick, powering up machines and practical stuff that really, you can't live without. Hot water. I mean, we could start a fire, but, that's hazardous. Okay...bad example. Lights. Can you live without lights? I'm sure I can. But do a little experiment. On a really cold day, walk into a room wearing nothing warm, just shorts and a T-shirt or something with the lights off. It's cold, isn't it? Then turn the lights on. If you have good observation senses, you'll notice the room get's slightly warmer.
I'm not very good with examples, sorry. I just sort of, assume you can read my mind somehow. But I still think electricty is the best discovery ever.
*I have no idea why my title is white. I'll try to fix that later!!!! Sorry for now!!
*I just ate a piece of cheese after 2nd period......disgusting after taste...was it even fresh?

Okay, so, for the most part, I do not understand the blog post for
today. I'm supposed to explain why temperate climate plant fossils are found in Antartica?
Well, first, let me go look up what temperate means....
*google search pause*
Okay, so I'd say that temperate climate plant fossils are found in Antarctica because they have adapted to the climate. For example, you wouldn't find a cactus in the snow. It isn't adapted to the weather.

Terrible post today....can't think with the cheese taste in my mouth.
