The giant panda

The giant panda is one of the most interesting creatures on earth because of it's interesting eating habits. The panda's is related to the bear ,but it's eating habits could not be more different. Why do pandas only eat bamboo? The answer is in it's home the bamboo forest. Bamboo grows fast and is plentiful so pandas adapted to easy food. So the panda started eating bamboo ,but most of it is not digested. A panda will eat up to 40 ponds of bamboo a day.

The giant panda has changed to better cope with it's environment. It has flexible paws to hold and twist bamboo. It has also managed to turn into from a carnivore to a herbivore.

The giant panda does not mate often. Pandas are only fertile (ready to have a baby) for two days. Panda cubs are small when they are born ,but grow fast. Cubs will learn how to survive be for leaving mom.

With china being developed and bamboo forests being cut down pandas are scarce ,but there is still hope. Panda breeding centers brought 16 new panda cubs to the world. However the cubs are probably destined for zoos.

Donald Duck in math magic land

I found it funny how clueless Donald Duck was. math can be found in almost everything, I can't believe Donald didn't notice that, I thought more a lot of Donald Duck. I knew most of the things that the video taught me I recognized some of the characters. Pythagoras and his Pythagorean s I read about them only a couple days before funny how that turns out. The only thing that surprised me was how many games have math in them.

How to can

Start by warming a pot that you will eventually use to steal the caps on to the bottle. When you are wanting four the pot to warm up pick as many bottles as you can fit in the pot filled them up with water. While you're waiting for the water to boil you have to put what you are canning into a smaller pot and boil and then you have to get the tops to the bottles all clean. When the water is done boiling and you have boiled what you will be canning you dump out the water in the pot and fill it up with the stuff you're canning after that put on the top and place where it was. When you filled all of them up let the water boil for about another hour or so and then they should be shelf stable.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Harry Potter an 11 year old boy who, after both of his parents were killed, was taken in by his aunt and uncle. Harry was stuck at his aunt and uncle's house until Hagrid, the Hogwarts school grounds keeper, got him and brought him to platform 9 ¾ to go Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

At platform 9 ¾ Harry met Ron Weasley. On the Hogwarts Express Harry and Ron met a girl named Hermione Granger, a girl that is keen on following rules. When Harry got to school he enjoyed sailing over the lake with Ron. At school Harry found a new talent at riding broomstick in a game called Quidditch. On Halloween, an ogre got into the Castle. When Harry saved Hermione, she lightened up on the rules.

Then Harry, Hermione and Ron had to get through a series of obstacles and had to go against Voldemort. Harry won, but got knocked unconscious. He was moved up to the hospital wing, and the next day he was fine. Then he went back to Privet Drive, where his aunt and uncle live, for the summer.

My opinion: I think that my one of my favorite books is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, because of the amazing mixture of fun and amazing personalities.

My Rating: 5 hearts

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets starts by Harry needing to escape from his own room! Then they go to the barrow (or the Weasley's house) after meeting up with Hermione. Harry, Ron and Hermione all got onto the Hogwarts Express.

When they got to school they had a feast like last year. Then went back to their rooms. That Halloween they were at a party for Nearly Headless Nick a ghost at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

When Harry Heard a voice Harry went to investigate. Ron and Hermione couldn't hear the voice. Then they start to find more and more victims petrified around the school. Everyone suspected Harry of it.

But it turned out to be a boy from Hogwarts named Tom Riddle (Lord Voldemort) only an image out of a diary that Jenny, Ron's younger sister, who was being controlled by it! When they found Jenny she was in an awful state knocked unconscious on the floor. She nearly died but luckily she survived.

My opinion: I think the whole Harry Potter series is amazing, but I specifically like this book for the use of secrecy and mystery. Read the book, and you'll find out more about what I mean.

My rating: 4 1/2 hearts

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This year Harry got so annoyed with his grandma that he blew her up like a balloon. He ran away by getting on the night bus. When he got off he met up with Ron and Hermione then went to the Barrow.

After that Harry Ron and Hermione went back to Hogwarts to start another year. But this year it was different because a murderer was on the loose. The Dementors (guards at Azkaban) were spread around the school like a swarm of bats. Dementors weren't allowed on school grounds. Harry was badly affected by Dementors.

Harry was not allowed to go to Hogsmeade, but he went anyway. Harry, Ron and Hermione ended up running into the murderer, Sirrius Black! He was mad that he was wrongly convicted of a murder he was not responsible for.

(I don’t want to give away spoilers, so I will keep this simple.)

After a string of events, Harry and Hermione woke up in the hospital wing with Ron still unconscious. Harry and Hermione traveled back in time, stole a magical creature, and went to where Sirrius Black was and brought the creature to him so that he could get away. Then Harry, Ron and Hermione went back to their homes.

My opinion: I like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because of how quickly it turned around and how quickly the murderer went from murder to the friend in under two chapters and how with that one night everything changed.
