Stocks

Stocks can be dangerous to your economic status. Stocks can improve your life style by letting you make money in a click of a button. Its a risky business. Stocks are all public companies that give human a decision to invest in the companies and you with earn money if it is doing well. The fallowing paragraphs are all about the stocks I decided investing in.

Investing in stocks is a tough decision to make without preparing. It is to make money but also allows you to become more aware of what company's are doing poorly or succeeding. During the 24 week period we “bought” the stocks of our choice, I finally decided on “buying” Steris Corp, SPDR Gold Shares, and McDonald’s. I choice Steris Corp. for one main reason; it was flu season. Steris Corp. is a company that make healthcare products including hand sanitizer. I also chose to take part in SPDR Gold Shares. Gold has always been in high demand and it seemed to be a good money maker. Last I decided to invest in McDonald’s. I chose McDonald’s because it has always been popular around the world and many people enjoy their food. Overall I believe my stock choices were a pretty good decision for the circumstances.

Stocks can change in a flash, some people win and some regret. There are many changes people (including me) would make only if they could. Steris Corp. is a company I regret buying. I would have wanted to invest in Steris at a different time due to the fact I bought it when it was doing pretty well. SPDR Gold Shares is the one stock I was delighted to have bought. If I had one regret with SPDR gold shares, it would be that I would like to continue to own my shares because they are continuing to go up. McDonalds Corp, is a stock I hugely regret investing in, it went down while I owned it and I probably should have not chose McDonald’s in the first place. If I could go back in time and change, I would have spent more time researching while stocks to buy and not have gone with stocks.

There is plenty of advice to give to people who are interested in stocks, but they have to also follow what they want because there is no right or wrong answer. Stocks go up and down (normally without warning.) Stocks can be surprising and unhelpful. There were a few things that made life easier while doing this stock project. The spreadsheet on the computer was the most helpful. Using formulas helped to show the math that was involved in stocks, and I was able to see what was making and losing money and how much. At the beginning of the project we used vocabulary that was used in the stock market. It helped me understand the summery of the company and words that were unknown to me. Throughout this project, every Friday we used yahoo finance to collect information on the last trade on our stocks so we could compare it to when we bought it in the first place. Yahoo finance was consistent and helpful. Overall, that stock projects was informing and helpful for understanding stocks and what they are for.

In the long run, overall I would have invested in these companies for a longer time and would have spent more time exploring my options in the stock market. In the stocks I invested in, which were Steris Corp., McDonald’s and SPDR Gold Shares, I would have invested in SPDR Gold Shares because of what I have learned. The other stocks did not progress as much as I would have liked. It is a live and learn lesson.

Antarctica has no flag since it is not owned by anyone. In my flag I drew Antarctica a with a penguin inside. I also came up with a saying that fits it very well, "Living on the Edge."

This chart shows how far animals in Antarctica can dive and how long they can hold their breath.

In LA we were learning about greek and latin root words. To go along with learning about root words we picked a root word to draw a picture for. My root word was loc which means location. For my picture I drew a picture of a treasure map that spelt out loc for location. The picture tells what loc means without using any words.

This art project was a easy and fun way to learn more about technolagy with art. In this picture I took a picture of a place and a picture of me and put them together. On the computer I cut myself out and put in the hiding place in the picture. This project was a very interesting and fun to play with.

There are many things that are very interesting about the human eye. One thing is that i didn't know that the eye and brain worked together but they do all the time. Every eye makes the light into a message for the brain to understand. Another interesting thing the brain does is it fills in the blind spots, which everyone has. Everyone also has eye lids for protection, and did you know that you blink less when you are consitrating?

Fun is different than crazy.

Have you ever wondered what it is like living in space? How it's different and how it's the same as on Earth? Astronauts in space have many things they have to monitor and do to keep things running well. As well as on Earth, they have to keep clean, eat and do many more tasks. If something goes wrong there is only the other astronauts there to help. They work hard together to get what is needed done.

Living quarters in space are very different than on Earth. One main difference is that there is no ceiling or floor. There in no ceiling and floor because in the shuttle in space they don't need it because there is no gravity. All they do is float around and it's kind of like swimming. So astronauts can just float/swim to wherever they want to go,whether they are upside down or not. In the shuttle there is a small kitchen and dinning room where their food is kept and where they eat. There is also a small bathroom where there is a strap to hold you down. Their sleeping arrangements are completely different than on Earth. While sleeping, the astronauts are strapped into a sleeping bag so they don’t float around. Also, because they have no gravity their arms float up. So, as they are sleeping their arms are pointing upward.

Food is pretty good in space even though it's different from on Earth. Although a long time ago astronauts were complaining about how the food was bad so after time NASA changed the food. Now astronauts get to chose what they would like to have to eat. Just like on earth they have 3 meals a day and eat in the kitchen/dining room. Most of the space food is in natural form but not all. For example salt and pepper are made in a liquid form for space. The food comes in packages and has many condiments to go with it. Some of the food requires water and also there is a small oven to warm food up if needed. In space, they also have to take their daily vitamins to stay healthy.

Hygiene and clothing is also an important thing in space. If one astronaut gets sick they don’t want to risk getting all the astronauts sick. Astronauts are able to bath everyday after working. They can only use a certain amount of water and then they have to suck up the water with a small vacuum so it doesn’t float around the shuttle. Just like on Earth, they brush their hair and teeth before the beginning of the day and the end of the day. In space the astronauts have a choice of what they want to wear. In space the average clothing is shorts and a T-shirt. Every astronaut gets two sweaters. After they have wore the clothes for a few days and are very dirty they put the clothes in the space station were they are kept and then burned when they return to Earth.

Just because the astronauts are in space doesn’t mean they are not doing anything. While in space they have many tasks to complete. Astronauts conduct many experiments in space. Sometimes they go to the moon, or times they conduct experiments with the air and planets. Also they release and capture satellites in space. Astronauts are always checking filters and making sure everything is working and is safe. Also a part of there job in space is to monitor the space station at all times. In space astronauts always have to be a where of what is going on around them.

Astronauts play a huge role in space. They are the ones who discover new things in space and sometimes experiment with what they have found. They do their work and tasks throughout the day like on Earth. Now you know what it's like to live a daily life in space.
