The tides will turn.

Tides are often known as a wave. But what causes a tide. The answer is in space. Tides are caused by the moon as it moves around the earths gravitational field. The moon, like the planets, dose not move in a circular pattern but in more of a pattern like a oval. 
 
This pattern causes the low tides when the moon is farthest from the earth, because the effect of its gravity is weaker. These waves are calm and small. But when the moon is closest to earth it causes large waves, because the moon's gravity is the strongest. Causing large explosive waves.

Hamsters

There are roughly 25 species collectively known as "hamsters," of which there are three major groups that are kept as pets: the larger Syrian Hamster, Dwarf Hamsters, and Chinese Hamsters. They've become popular pets due to their ease of handling, cute looks, and ease of bonding with their owner.

 Hamsters can come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. They can have short fur or long fur. Typically they range from 2 to 7 inches in length, depending on the species, and have stout bodies paired with short legs and very short. (Chinese have long tails)

 Syrian Hamsters are generally solitary animals and should not be kept together in a single enclosure. Dwarf Hamsters of the same species and sex, on the other hand, are typically able to be kept together. Hamsters are not strictly nocturnal, but do spend most of the day burrowed only to come out in the hours before dusk.

Heart Failure


  Heart failure, a server failure of the heart functioning properly, especially as a cause of death. Basically it's when your heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. Some conditions are narrowed a arteries in your heart or high blood pressure that leaves your heart too weak or stiff to pump blood. Some conditions that lead to heart failure can be reversed, but if not, some treatments can improve the signs and symptoms, and it could help you to live a little longer. Although, not all of the treatments can help.
  There are about 5.7 million Americans facing heart failure, and out of that 5.7 million about 10 percent of them are diagnosed with Advanced Heart Failure. Heart failure is considered advanced when the treatment given to the patient is no longer working. As the heart weakens the treatment becomes more   necessary, and is now time for making difficult, life-altering, maybe even life-ending decisions.

Monkeys

    A monkey is any non-human primate mammal with the exception usually of the lemurs and tarsiers. There are 3 types of monkeys. The 3 types include: non-human hominids, Old World monkeys, and New World monkeys. There are about 280 known living species of monkey. Many are arboreal, although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons.
   Generally, monkeys are considered to be clever. Old and New World monkeys usually have tails, unlike apes. The New World monkeys are classified within the parvorder of Platyrrhine. The Old World monkeys form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which also includes the hominids. Monkeys are very interesting creatures!

   First we put some potato peelings in the worm pen. Plants started growing off of the peelings. So we decided to place the plants in some containers. Place them in some water.
   The next subject is going to be about the pepper plant. I think it was really cool because it came with everything you needed. I read the directions first to be sure I knew what I was doing.
   It came with a hard brown disk and some seeds. First we put water in it and it said to massage it. We did until it was all broke up and mushy. We placed the seeds in it and put the lid on it. Then placed it in the sun.
