All people should be wearing clothes right now, unless they are showering or something. Most animals don’t wear clothes though. There are many different types of clothing, like dresses, skirts, shirts, pants, coats, socks, and others. There are also many types of clothing materials, like leather, fur, and woven materials. People would wear different clothing under different conditions. If you are at the beach, you might be wearing swimming suit if you will be splashing of surfing in the waves. If you are playing in snow, you probably will be wearing thick coats, gloves and a hat. If you came out of a shower, you might be wearing a bathrobe before you change into regular clothes. Men and women usually wear different clothes. Woman can wear dresses and skirts. Men can wear tuxedos. We usually don’t see men wearing high-heels walking around. However, men can wear robes, togas, or kilts, which were often worn by men in earlier times.

Teeth are found in a mouth that help the animal chew food. Mammals grow two types of teeth. For a human, they start off with baby teeth. The baby teeth later fall out to be replaced by teeth that should last them the rest of their lives. Some animals grow only one set of teeth, while some grow lots. For example, a shark grows new teeth every two weeks to replace the old, worn-out ones. Animal teeth are able to be kept for a long time. Herbivores have lots of molars for chewing up plants, and carnivores have sharp canines to rip meat apart. Some dolphins have over a hundred teeth. All horses have twelve premolars, twelve molars, and twelve incisors. Few female horses have canines, and the horses that do have them only have one or two. Walrus tusks are canine teeth that never stop growing.

Two teenagers just created a homemade science experiment. They sent a tiny lego man into space, and captured its flight on film. The teenagers attached a weather balloon to a lego man. It blasted off from a soccer field in Canada. Four cameras flew off on the spacecraft to record the lego man’s flight. The balloon shot up sixteen miles into the atmosphere before it popped. The spacecraft gently floated back to the Earth because of a handmade parachute the boys had made and sewed onto the spacecraft themselves.

Later, the boys found the lego man and spacecraft seventy- six miles away from the place it blasted off. The video from the craft is very popular online.

Second, Science Camp an Age of Sail had some differences.For example, how much time we had on the field trip, the things we got to do on the field trips, what happens at night, how early we get up and late we get to bed, and the groups they put us in. There was a big difference in the time of Age of Sail and Science Camp. It’s obvious that Age of Sail only lasted about a day and Science Camp lasted about a week if you had been there. I kind of liked Age of Sail’s shortness, because I don’t think I last another day of waking up around 5:00 to stand on a set of stairs and stare out over the bay for an hour. However, I wish Science Camp had been a lot longer. Science Camp was fun. Science Camp was better than Age of Sail in ways, like how late we go to bed and how early we get up. In Science Camp, we got to go to bed around 9:30 and woke up around 7:00. That’s about my usual schedule. For Age of Sail, we went to bed around 10:00 (I think I can handle that) and woke up around 5:00 when the sky was still dark. That, I cannot handle. I was literally falling asleep on the stairs. Before all that, at night, we’d do different things. For Science Camp, we’d haves some awesome activity to do only at night. For example, we once had Astronomy Night. For Age of Sail, the Galley Crew had started the clean up while putting away dishes in between. That was hard, because we had to wipe down every speck of the pantry. In Age of Sail and Science Camp, we also had different activities to do to keep us entertained. For Science Camp, Field Class took up most of our time. I think hiking up the creek was one of the best things we did while hiking. For Age of Sail, the Galley Crew spent most of the time shut in the pantry cooking dinner and preparing tomorrow’s breakfast. Those two activities are very different. The way they split us into groups was different too. Even though both field trips put us in different groups, the groups were different things. For Science Camp, we were split into about a million cabin groups, because there were two other schools with us. Those groups were called cabin groups. For Age of Sail, it was only our class on the trip at that time, so there were about seven different crews. There were about seven different crews with seven different jobs. See, the groups have different names.

    Science Camp and Age of Sail had plenty of things that are different and the same.All of the things above made Science Camp and Age of Sail their best, even the freezing part.

Christmas means a lot of things to me. It can mean that there’s a two-week break from school. Usually, my family stays at home and takes a long rest from school. This year, we are going to Lake Tahoe , although my parents said there may not be any snow. Christmas can mean presents. I like getting surprised by gifts. Santa’s gift is almost always the best present I get. Giving presents is also exciting for me since there’s a deadline of December 25th and that you have a secret you shouldn’t tell the To:___ person about. Christmas can mean that the Christmas tree gets put up. I get to decorate and put it together. It looks pretty at night with all the lights on, ornaments on, and star on. Christmas can mean that neighbors put up lights on their house. Near Christmas, my dad sometimes drives around and lets my sister and me look for houses with lights. One house in our neighborhood always puts up a huge light-up Christmas tree decoration on their roof. It’s so tall that I can see just the tip of it over the trees. Christmas can mean a lot to me, I didn’t even mention the celebrations.
