I learned that suspension is when a mixtures split into layers. Another thing I learned was that colloid is when big particles mix with small particles and they do not settle.

Glogster
I learned a lot about glaciers. One thing I learned was that glaciers take along time to make. They also can shape landscapes. Learning about glaciers is very interesting.Making a glog was difficult at first but it gets easier once you know what to do. I made a power point so I put the information from it to my glog. However I like my power point more because it is easier to read.

Amazing Bats of Bracken Cave
http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/stories/animalsnature/bat-cave/
by Catherine Clarke Fox no date given
There is a cave in Texas called Bracken Cave. In that cave, they have millions of bats. In the summer the bats fly out of the cave every night to get food. When they fly out of the cave there are about 20 million of them. You call a group of bats a colony. When the bats fly out the mother bats find their pups by smelling them. The floor of the Bracken Cave is covered in guano (bat poop) which things like fungi and bacteria use as food. Bats also help us. They can eat a lot of insects in one night.
I chose this Article to write about because it is almost Halloween and bats can be spooky. I think this article was very interesting. I would like to see the cave when all the bats fly out. I think it will look really cool with all the bats flying out at one time. I love that the bats eat a lot of bugs because mosquitoes and gnats are really annoying.

Why Mars Is A Lightweight

Mars is not as heavy as Earth and Venus. It is also five to ten times as big as it actually is. When the embryo is stranded it can get as big as Mars. The embryos got closer and closer to the sun and came so close that there was no gap. Mars has more than enough material until Jupiter came and brought gas and it spiraled in towards the sun.
I think that the article was very interesting. It had a lot of information in it. However I think it was written for people a bit older because some of it was a bit confusing. I do not really know what embryo is. I think that you need to read the article more than once to understand it. What do they mean when they say that Mars is five to ten times as big as it really is.

Scientists learned that while you diet you should get a good amount of sleep. If you do not get enough rest when you diet you will not lose as much weight as you would when you get a good amount of sleep. They did an experiment with some volunteers and put them all on a diet and some of them did not get enough sleep and some got plenty of sleep. The people with enough sleep lost more weight than the people with a little bit of sleep. When you diet you should get a good amount of sleep.
I think the article was very interesting. I think the experiment they did was very cool. Dose it also affect how much weight you lose if you do not sleep enough when you are not on a diet? I never knew that if you do not get enough sleep when you are on a diet you will not lose as much weight you would when you get a good amount of sleep.
