Climate changing is really dangerous

It is to be questioned that about the climate changing from global warming is causing all the animals and their habitats a really hard time. They estimated that by 2100, the climate could change up to 30 percent of all bird species worldwide. So far rhey know for sure that 79% of land-bird species are not going to be threatened with extinction but there is not a real answer that this will come true if we don't stop the climate from heating up. Researchers have been testing and estimating the amount of birds in extinction by the year of 2100 that 30% of land bird will be extincted with a 6.4 degrees. The biggest thing that they're most worried about is the climate changing because it will be a really dangerous thing to the environment.

My reflection on this is that it's really scary. Not just harming us but it's also harming the beautiful environment around us. GLOBAL WARMING- ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I'm really worried about everything around us right now. I get really annoyed when people park but never turn off their engine.What's the pointtttt!!!! TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE!!!! I wish people would care more about global warming so that our beautiful earth and environment will be there forever.

P.S.- poor birds... ToT

Health issues at san mateo library

I went to the presentation at san mateo library today about the health issues.
They said that mostly people eat food because it's like a comfort for them in many ways, being bored, weather or any kind of things.
Fast food started in the 1960s and it was the biggest advertisement during that time.
The best way to eat is to slow down during breakfast, to focus on food, have at least 20 minutes to eat, and chew it.
Try to skip the mayo, cheese, and fries as much as possible.
Food, sleep, and physical activity is the main energy of all.
Everyone should set limits on what they eat and balance their food. Eating more fruits and vegetables.
The society today is junk food and no exercise.
You need to have the readiness to change and the parent's involvement.
80% of kids remains diabetes to adulthood.


My reflection on this is I really have to slow down on my junk food eating habit now. It's really scaring me and I don't it to affect my body because of the environment around me. I know that it's really good but I have to learn how to control myself and start eating more vegetables and fruits. I know that I eat the most when i'm wide awake, which is not in the morning but when i watch TV but i have to stop it now. I need to eat the most during breakfast and exercise more.

Common virus may contribute to obesity in some people, new study shows

Scientsits had found new evidence that a common virus can even lead to obesity in United States and also othere countries. "The findings, which could lead to a vaccine or antiviral medication to help fight viral obesity in the future, were presented at the 234th national meeting of the American Chemical Society." To proof that they're one hundred percent sure on this or else they won't come out and tell. They said that not everyone that gets this virus will get obesity and they're also trying to find a way to treat it as soon as possible. They do not know yet that how many people were infected by this virus and leads to obesity. They also do not know how long it remains in our body. What they know is that if animals get this virus, it will be in their body for up to six months. Getting obesity often casues from over eating, eating too much fatty and fast food, not much exercise which leads to heart disease, and other health disorders. They are now trying their best to identify the number of people that got this virus and leads to obesity so that they can find a treat for it and things like this won't have to happen anymore.

That's so scaryyyyyyy!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ToT

potato osmosis lab

yesterday we had to do a potato osmosis lab. We had to poke out the potato and put them in different types of containers and afterwards putting them in each solution of sugar water etc.
We'll see what happens to it after we take the test tomorrow. ToT. Test again.

We also got to touch a raw egg because after putting the egg in vinegar, the shell came off and we got to touch to see what it felt like. It felt squishy but the vinegar smell stayed on my hand which wasn't really that nice. XP

2nd week in bio

On tuesday we had to do a snail lab. We had to observe it and write down notes about it. I have a really bad history with snails since I was a baby so I didn't really enjoy my first lab in bio. that much. Even though this lab had taught me a lot about snails andI know that it's amazing but I still don't ever want to do that lab again.
We also had 2 quizes this week. I got a 100% in my first quiz but i got a 8/9 on my second quiz. I just hope that next time I'll get a perfect score so that I can keep my grade to an A by the grading period.
So far bio has been fun with Mr.Olsen. I just know that there will be more interesting labs during the year.
