Now the big mystery is whether or not the continentss are still moving slowly and if one day something tragic will happen. []



Hoot Book Review

Hoot is a book about three kids trying to save the owls. they are saving owls from being constructed over by a Pancake house. The builder knows that there are owls there, but he doesn't tell anyone. They are in Florida and everyone wants a pancake house, but they don't know about the owls. Once the three kids tell everyone about the owls, and show them to everyone, then the builder is arrested and the owls burrows (in the ground) are now saved from any contsruction over them.

The swine flu vaccine came out. 800,000 children got the vaccine. But it turns out that the vaccine does not do anything. It doesn't because by the time the vaccine get to the doctor from the factory, the thing that's in the vaccine that makes the vaccine keep away swine flu, dies out. So the vaccine is useless. A doctor said that whoever got the vaccine will not be harmed and should not get a revaccine.

 How your brain works

There are a bunch of things called Synapses in your brain. They are like a big super-highway. They all communicate with eachother a you learn so that you can remember what you learn. More activity creates stronger synaptic connections. Stronger connections support more efficient, flexible brain function. This is a very interesting subject. []
