__Worms-__
__Our Worm Homes!__ We have worm homes that we check every two weeks! My worm home didn't have any baby worms, but hopefully in two weeks I will have some babys. I will post more information when we check our worm homes again!!!
 * __Did you know that worms breath through their skin,so the dirt they live in has to be moist or they will not be able to breath.*__
 * __Do you ever wonder why worms like it in the moist,dark dirt?Worms do not like light so they stay down in the earth.*__
 * __Worms bodies decompose very quickly because, their bodies are made up of between 75%-90% of water.*__
 * __Worms have 5 hearts to pump their blood. WOW!*__



Mrs.Collazos class room got a pet snake named Salazor ,Sal, for short ! Sal is a Balled Python, and is a loving, gentle kind of snake! Our class gets to watch Mrs.Collazo feed Sal !! Sal's main course is tiny,white mice. I never thought i'd like a snake like I like Salazar! He has really inspired me to reserch, and learn more about snakes! I would like to thank Mrs. Collazo for providing Salazar for our 6th grade class room! I got soo lucky to have her and experience what having a pet snake is all about!!

=The study of ECOLOGY!♥= Our class has been studying ecology, and I'm going to share some cool facts with you!
 * Organisms that live in the same habitat can not have the same niche.
 * Niche-A role an organism plays in their habitat.
 * Did you know a scavenger never kills its own food? They eat the left-overs.Talk about being lazy!!
 * A decomposer changes dead organisms into chemicals to be used again. An example of a decomposer are our Red Wrigglers!
 * Within food chains, matter is always recycled from one chemical form into another.
 * Food chains-Energy links between different organisms in an ecosystem based on feeding habitats.
 * Balance of nature- A positive condition the occurs when each population in an ecosystem has all its needs met. An example is, 5 fish in a big fish tank.
 * Population- A group of organisms of the same species living in the same ecosystem.

VOLCONOES


 * Volcanoes are weak spots in the crust where molten material,or magma, comes to the surface.
 * Most volcanoes are located at convergent boundaries, or beneath the sea.
 * Magma is a molten mixture of rock forming substances,gasses,and water from the mantle.
 * Volconic belts form along plate boundaries and have volcanoes outlining the boundary.
 * A major volcanic belt is the Ring Of Fire.
 * An Island Arc is when volcanoes create a string of islands.
 * A Hot spot is material from deep within the mantle rises then melts, forming magma.
 * Hot spots create mountains and islands.
