Fruit Flies

Have you seen little, tiny flies flying over a bowl of fruit? Have you now noticed that they have become twice that size? You may usually just smack it with your hand but now they live twice as long. Get ready to solve the mystery of the fruit flies.

We eat fruit. Lot's of it. Now, all the fruit that we eat has been filled with hormones. That's why the fruits we eat are so big. Hormones are unhealthy for us. All that fruit that we may leave out in a bowl. Then, the fruit flies come and they eat up that fruit that is filled with hormones. All the hormones go into the fruit fly and just like how hormones make fruit big and grow faster, it happens to who ever eats it. So all those fruit flies have hormones inside them and it makes them bigger, stronger and harder to kill. 


How do we get rid of these huge fruit flies? They annoy us and eat all our fruit. You might have noticed the peel on your bananas is open slightly. That is a fruit flies work. Throw that banana away immediately. It is dangerous to eat because fruit flies carry germs. Follow these steps to get rid of your fruit flies.

THE FRUIT FLY TRAP
You will need:
- A bowl
- Honey
- plastic wrap
- A tooth pick or something to poke small holes with
Step One: Take you bowl and fill it with lots of honey.
Step Two: Grab your plastic wrap and place it over your bowl. Secure it tightly.
Step Three: Take your tooth pick and poke holes that a fruit fly can get through.
Step Four: Place your bowl on a table.
Step Five: Watch the flies go inside your bowl because of the sweet smell of honey. They will go near it and get stuck because it's sticky! If they don't get stuck in it, they won't be able to get out anyway because of your plastic wrap!   

Physical Activity

Physical activity or exercise is very important for our bodies. Average children need at least 60 minutes of DPA ever single day! Why do we need so much exercise? It makes us sweaty and tired but it's worth it.

First of all, when you exercise, you have a better chance of living longer. When you don't stay active you can get awful diseases like heart disease. Sure, you smell bad after running or dancing but it still is fun. Not only that, DPA makes you feel better about yourself. Either you lost weight or maybe it just relieved some stress. Do you want to start off to a great day? Do some exercise the day before! It can help you sleep better. There's still more! Physical activity can make your bones stronger and give you big muscles. See how much DPA can do for our lives?

For those who don't know what DPA is, it stands for Daily Physical Activity. In school, students have DPA all the time. So what can you do for your DPA? Here are some ideas:
- Running: Great way to burn calories. You can have fun when you run around by playing running games like tag. 
- Skating: This makes your muscles really strong and it's lot's of fun once you get the hang of it. Also, it looks really cool.
- Yoga: This is meant to get rid of stress. Simple poses that can make your body flexible. You can have a lot of fun trying to twist yourself in all the different poses. 
-Biking: Two wheels are hard at first but once you learn how to ride it you never forget. This makes your whole body stronger and riding a bike is so much fun! You can ride anywhere and it's so peaceful with lot's of fast wind.
-Dance: Dance! Anyone can do it if they tried. Make up your own moves or search up "Just Dance". You can watch dance tutorials and so much more. 

Here I have a list of links that you can use either for yoga, dance or more info:

Tallest Towers

How many tall towers and skyscrapers do we have? How tall are they? Here comes all the information on the tallest towers in the whole, wide, world!

What is the tallest building in the world? The Burj Khalifa is the tallest! It is 829.8 m! That is really tall! The Burj Khalifa is located in Dubai, UAE. There are 163 floors. On January 4th 2010 the building opened for the public to come and see it. There is a viewing floor to check out the view from so far above the ground and a speedy elevator that takes only a minute to get to the top! 

The second tallest is the Shanghai Tower. It is 632 m with 121 floors! Almost like the Burj Khalifa only just a few less meters. The location is Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai in China. It cost $4.2 billion dollars. That's expensive! The estimated time for completion was 2015 but it was only a year behind (2014). 

I'm going to skip the third and go on to the 6th because this building was once called the tallest building in the world. Isn't it funny how a building can start out as the tallest in the world and then fall into 6th like the Empire State Building and fall into 24th? Anyway, I'm talking about the Taipei 101. It's located in Taiwan. The construction started in 1999 and finished in 2004. That's a bit of an  idea of how long the whole process takes. The Taipei 101 has the fastest elevator! 1010 meters per each 1 minute. 

I know this isn't a lot of information but this is only an introduction. I've got some links on more buildings with further information. I used Wikipedia to find the information I posted. I'm also adding websites with useful info.

Prodigy Math Game

Prodigy Math Game is a computer game that teachers are showing students all the time. This new game is a wizard themed game that incorporates math and your teacher can control what questions are asked and when. You can travel to different places and customize your own avatar whose name you can choose. Not only that but you can buy cool pets. Basically, on Prodigy, you choose your name with the template name-adjective-noun. Then, you make your avatar. Once, you are done you have a tutorial. All you do is go into these "battles". You can choose a spell (Which you will not have that many!) and answer the math problem. You can bring you monsters/pets in battle with you. If you win, you get prizes and more XP level up. If you get money, you can buy more clothes and pets. Before you get excited about this game, read my point of view. If you don't want to, click here and make your own account today.

Now here's my point of view. Prodigy Math Game is a cool game. It really is. It's cool but there are problems with it. Problem one: memberships. Prodigy pesters me day and night to get a membership and here's the deal, it costs money. While the account is free, they always want me to get the membership. It annoys me because they say stuff like "Stand out with premium gear and get your membership today!" or "Uh oh! you can't buy this because you don't have enough money! With a membership you can get it cheaper!". See? They can really annoy you. 

There's more to it. Prodigy Math Game is having students to keep their eyes glued to a screen all day. The screen is making children's eyes ruined. I've said it before and I'll say it again, so much technology isn't good! I've seen kids become attached to Prodigy like crazy. Sneaking their devices into class and playing while the teacher is talking. It's almost like when they are on Prodigy, their minds are now in the Prodigy world and can't get out. If it does somehow escape, it will go back. BEWARE! 


Here's the very last problem. The system doesn't work very well. There are so many glitches on Prodigy. In he old version, there were eggs that your pet hatches from and one time, the egg never hatched! Sometimes, it loads for what seems like hours. 

If you can deal with ads, a lot of technology and computer problems, Prodigy is your game! Scroll up and click the link if you want.  Also, please comment, recommend, subscribe and take one second to vote on the polls above and there is one below as well. Thanks for reading!
