i learned that we use a lot more energy than we used today because of the x-box the chargers for phones and i-pods etc. etc.
the insulation helps the energy go down because you just have to turn up the heat and then since your house is insulated it can stay warm for hours
i learned that if you take off the cover to an electrical outlet to see what is wrong after you dropped your coffe or water on it this morning you might be electricuted.
water is a fuel that doesnt let carbons into the air and also you can use grease to use as fuel but i dont know if it would set of deadly carbons

How to save your water without pollution!?:)

Water is important to everybody and we have to be sure that we can save our water so that everybody can still use the water without hurting anything!
Steps to helping the water!
1. if you want to take a shower try to take a shorter one than usual because that just means that your parents dont have to pay more than usual for the water bill.
2. take a colder shower that also drives the water bill down and it feels good in the summer on the hot sunny warm days.
3.try not to put anything in the ocean when you go out for a walk or something because you never know what might happen
4.try not to let your oil leak out right near a drain because some of that leads out to the ocean and it could kill whales or dolphins.
SO REMEBER THAT YOU CAN TRY TO HELP SAVE OUR WATER IF YOU STILL WANT TO LIVE WITH HYGINE AND FOOD!:)

Some of the awsome ways to pull a cart is if you use a rubber band. The way you can use a rubber band is you tie it to one side of the cart pull it put two the other side of the bord or ramp you have it on and then you can either cut the rubber band or let go of it.

This is a scud it is worth 2 points it's tolerant to pollution.We scored our creek after everybody got a microscope and a sample of water then the whole class put in what they found and as a total of the bugs that we found and got 21 points. 21 points is a potentially good water quality but on BIBI we were very low integrity but we have a good creek.When we went to Cispus we went to a creek called Yellow Jacket creek after we came back we saw that the creek that we saw was clearer and it was mostly the same just a litle bit higher so it is a lot different but it's still cool to see bugs AWSEMOME=http://=http://!

I think Mt.St. Helens will grow back ,because after the explosion it already grew back about 900ft. And now it is at least1,000ft. In length. I also know it because the scientists in the movie said that it would grow back to its original size.
