Today, the class learned about which jobs go with certain people and how much the jobs pay. For those that don't know what they want to be when they grow up, there was a quiz that asked them like or dislike questions, and then it would come up with the results and give them a few suggestions about what they would probably like. The class, also used a website that asks a person how they want to live in the future, and at the end it shows all the expenses the person chose. It also shows what jobs would make enough money to pay the expenses. Today, we got prepared to know how the expenses in our future will be, if they turn to be out the way we they should.

Today, in science lab the class learned about how pollution hurts animals, like bears. The class saw how generation after generation of bears is reduced or grown when there is different kind of pollution. The class saw this by putting 10 yellow or (non-polluted) bears in a bucket with 2 green or (polluted) bears. Then, someone had to pick two bears at a time, if one was green and one was yellow, then the yellow one dies because of pollution. When the class finished 5 generations with only two green bears, then another green bear is added. After, going all the way to 6 green bears, the population of bears went extinct. It's amazing how something that nobody ever thinks of could be so harmful to animals.

Science Lab
Today, in science lab, I learned about the petroleum products surrounding me. Scientists, showed that even people with the same type of blood, that eat canned soup for a week, instead of eating homemade soup, had a thousand more chemicals in their body. Now, it's hard to get away from petroleum products because they're everywhere, like in shampoo, clothes, and even the toothpaste I use to brush my teeth. There are some ways to use less petroleum products, like using BPA (Bisphenol A) free bottles, or buying and cooking with organic food. But, I don't think it's enough to stop every 1 out of 35 children from getting Autism. BPA, can cause Autism, Cancer, and other very dangerous sicknesses. There is probably nothing people could do about petroleum products, because practically the petroleum products follow everybody around. People just have to take control of what they use and how it affects them.

Computer Lab
Today, in computer lab the class reviewed more about English and Science, by playing games on the Bitesizemath website. In the English section, we focused on the dictionary, finding information, and even poetry. Which will help us, later on, by knowing how to use a dictionary and how to spell, even knowing the poetic elements. In the Science section, we learned more about physical processes, like shadows or friction. Also, in the science section we reviewed more about living things, like food chains and the gross microorganisms that could be on Ms. Ullner's hidden pita bread. This will also help us in real life by knowing not to eat the bread that has green looking things on it. In conclusion, the class reviewed English and Science.
