This is a flag i created for Antarctica. Antarctica is not owned by anyone, so our assignment was to create a flag for it. I used white for the snow, blue for the water, and grey for the ice.

     This is a graph showing the depth that various antarctic animals can swim to, and how long they can stay underwater. As you can see, a sperm whale can swim to the greatest depth, but an emporor penguin can stay underwater for the longest.

Roses reflect red light,

Violets reflect blue.

Red stars are the coolest,

and so are you.



You're like a star,

You light up the room.

I'm glad you don't nova,

With a giant KA-BOOM!!



When you are gone,

My heart's a black hole.

But when you return,

It's once again whole.



Revolve around the Sun,

Is what Earth's supposed to do.

But my whole universe,

Revolves around you.



And so concludes,

This wonderful poem.

There is some facts in here,

In case you don't know `em.

I drew a picture of a person thinking about the word part cogn, because cogn means to know, or to recognize. For example, in the word incgonito (which means undercover) it is the recognize part of unrecognizable.

This is a picture of me hiding in the artroom that I made by shrinking myself down substantially, floating on a sponge in the sink, and taking a picture. Just kidding! I took a photo of the sponge in the sink and used photoshop to put myself onto it. Everyone in my grade made one of these and we showed them all on a slideshow at lunchtime. We all had a great time making them!

This is a picture of my eye with a few of the features labeled. We learned some very interesting things about eyes. Did you know that someone's iris is as unique as a fingerprint? Or that your pupil is the most pure form of black? We learned about some new parts of the eye that I didn't know about. For example, there's a bunch of oil glands in your bottom eyelid that squirt oil into your eye for protection. The eye parts that I labeled are just a few of the many parts that make up an eyeball.

For about a week, we had real Moon rocks in our classroom.

Spring is here when the sun is direcly above the Equator. This is also the Vernal Equinox. An Equinox is when there is 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. The name Equinox means "equal night".



Summer is here when the sun is above the Tropic of Cancer. When the sunlight is as far north as it will go, there is a Summer Solstice, longest day of the year.



Autumn is here when the sun is above the Equator. Like Spring, this creates an Equinox. However, this is the Autumnal Equinox.



Winter is here when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn. When the sunlight is as far south as it will go, it creates a Winter Solstice. This is the shortest day of the year. On an unrealted note, this is also the only day when the Greek God of the Underworld, Hades, is allowed on Mount Olympus.
