Mercury

Mercury is the smallest planet , and closest to the sun.
Mercury could only have life on it only if you lived in the center,because if you lived on the surface you would fry to death.

You could not live on mercury because at night it is neativ 180c and over 430c in the day.
There is no plants , water or eny life on mercury.

Mercury's size is 4078.0 km around.
It would not take long to orbit mercury.
a day on mercury is equilant to 176 days on Earth ,and a year is 9856 days on Earth.

Mercury is the 2 nd hottest planet.

This is a piece of Measurement work that I have done.

I did this on tuseday the 12th.

The Iberian lynx is smaller than its northern relatives, and typically hunts smaller animals, usually no larger than hares. It also differs in habitat choice, with Iberian lynx inhabiting open scrub and Eurasian lynx inhabiting forests.

This lynx was distributed over the entire Iberian Peninsula as recently as the mid nineteenth century. It is now restricted to very small areas, with breeding only confirmed in two areas of Andalucia, southern Spain. The Iberian lynx prefers heterogeneous environments of open grassland mixed with dense shrubs such as strawberry tree, mastic, and juniper, and trees such as holm oak and cork oak. It is now largely restricted to mountainous areas, with only a few groups found in lowland forest or dense maquis shrubland.

During the mating season the female leaves her territory in search of a male. The typical gestation period is about two months; the cubs are born between March and September, with a peak of births in March and April. A litter consists of two or three (rarely one, or four to five) kittens weighing between 200 to 250 grams (7.1 to 8.8 oz).

The kittens become independent at 7–10 months old, but remain with the mother until around 20 months old. Survival of the young depends heavily on the availability of prey species. In the wild both males and females reach sexual maturity at one year old, though in practice they rarely breed until a territory becomes vacant; one female was known not to breed until five years old when its mother died. The maximum longevity in the wild is 13 years.

Siblings become violent towards one another between 30 and 60 days, peaking at 45 days. A cub will frequently kill its littermate in a brutal fight. It is unknown why these episodes of aggression occur, though many scientists believe it is related to a change in hormones when a cub switches from its mother's milk to meat.

Term 2 Goal Reflection

This is a recording of my goal reflections for term 2.

British Army

THE BRITISH ministry of defence, which has been criticised for failing to control its

multimillion-pound budget, is to reformed, while the number of senior officers in the military is to be cut significantly, defence secretary Liam Fox has announced.

In what has been described as one of the biggest reforms in decades, Dr Fox said he wanted to give senior military officers more control over their own budgets, while the tradition of ministry of defence “micro-management will be consigned to the past”.

In future, the British army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force will be run by one senior officer, rather than two as at present – where one is in charge of day-to-day operations and the other handles longer-term strategy.

Paying tribute to the British military serving in Afghanistan and elsewhere, including in the United Nations-mandated operation in Libya, Dr Fox said in the House of Commons yesterday that they were “often frustrated by a system that lets them down”.

Accepting the recommendations made in a report written by Lord Levene, Dr Fox said: “The ministry of defence is a department with overly bureaucratic management structures, dominated by committees that led to indecisiveness and a lack of responsibility.”

Under cost-cutting plans already agreed, the ministry is to lose 8,000 civil servants in the next 12 months, although some argue that the scale of the redundancies will make it harder, not easier, to impose the Levene recommendations.

Earlier, Dr Fox said management at the ministry must be streamlined urgently “because we’ve allowed costs to escalate and projects to run over in the most appalling way. We need to bring that under control.”

Under the reforms, however, two of the three service chiefs will no longer sit on the defence board, chaired by Dr Fox.

In future, the chief of the defence staff, Gen Sir David Richards, will be the only military officer present.

Meanwhile, the number of senior officers will be reduced.

At the moment the army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force have five times more senior officers than the United States marines – even though the marines are significantly larger than all three put together.

Saying that there was “a very strong case” for reducing the “star count”, Dr Fox said doing this would create space for younger officers to be promoted to positions of greater authority – although they would no longer carry the rank of the past.

Given, however, that 17,000 posts are to be lost in the army, navy and air force over the next four years, the number of senior officers will remain disproportionate – even if yesterday’s reforms are implemented in full.

Animal survival

On rapare the 19 of may we played a game called Animal Survival.

It was new to room 7 , we played it at Living springs camp.

There were animals , carnivores and herbivore.

We played this game to have fun and learn about the nasty carnivores that eat the little herbivores because there will be none at Living springs.

Firstly me and my friends went looking for the delicious herbivores , then we chased them.

Alex,Dominic and I caught about 14 to 16 herbivore lives.

after that rabies was let out , suddenly I saw a man wearing a camouflage coat.

I didn't know it was at first , then I found out it was rabies.

I stalked him for a bit then he striked at me but he missed.

Lastly I lost my voice I sounded like a croaky frog.

Then I found out that hunter was out.

Then suddenly my name was called I was

SHOT DEAD

I enjoyed this game because it was enjoyable.

Next time I will hide more.

Uranus

This is me , Tama and Sarena are holding up an paper masha Uranus here is some imformation.Uranus, the first planet discovered in modern times, was discovered by William Herschel while systematically searching the sky with his telescope on March 13, 1781. It had actually been seen many times before but ignored as simply another star (the earliest recorded sighting was in 1690 when John Flamsteed cataloged it as 34 Tauri). Herschel named it "the Georgium Sidus" (the Georgian Planet) in honor of his patron, the infamous (to Americans) King George III of England; others called it "Herschel". The name "Uranus" was first proposed with the other planetary names from classical mythology but didn't come into common use by Bode in conformity until 1850.

Emperor Penguin

In this June 20, 2011 photo released by New Zealand's Department of Conservation, an Emperor penguin walks along Peka Peka Beach in New Zealand after it got lost while hunting for food. The young Antarctic Emperor penguin has taken a rare wrong turn and ended up stranded on a New Zealand beach.

A new fossil discovery could be the world's smallest known dinosaur — a feathered, birdlike creature that lived more than 100 million years ago and grew no more than 15.7 inches (40 centimeters) long.The vertebra lacks a neurocentral suture, a rough, open line of bone that doesn't close until a dinosaur is an adult, Naish and his University of A new fossil discovery could be the world's smallest known dinosaur — a feathered, birdlike creature that lived more than Portsmouth colleague Steven Sweetmen reported. That means the dinosaur was grown when it died.

But figuring out the length of the dinosaur from one bone was trickier. The researchers used two techniques to estimate how big the maniraptoran might have been. The first method involved building a digital model of the dinosaur's neck and then fitting that neck into a silhouette of a generic maniraptoran.

Godziller

"Godzilla is one of the world's most powerful pop culture icons, and we at Legendary are thrilled to be able to create a modern epic based on this long-loved Toho franchise. Our plans are to produce the Godzilla that we, as fans, would want to see. We intend to do justice to those essential elements that have allowed this character to remain as pop-culturally relevant for as long as it has."

I remain carefully optimistic. The last American made Godzilla film had all the makings of a classic. The hype was incredible and the movie made a lot of money off the idea... Unfortunately the movie itself was pretty terrible and uninspired and as a Godzilla film, there was next to nothing that resembled Godzilla. Of course, that was really before Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich had been exposed as the hacks that they are.

3D could be the perfect forum for Godzilla. However it'll need to resemble the classic Godzilla movies both in scale and scope, not rely too much on CGI and most importantly feature other monsters.

Future cars

Did you know that electric cars are not a thing of the future, but rather have been around for centuries (specifically one and a half, dating back to 1834.

You have entered the wonderful realm of the future of cars, where the possibilities are endless and anything is possible. From air-powered cars to battery operated cars, cars have come a long way since their invention in the late 1700's. Inventors then dreamed of a "horseless carriage", a vehicle that could travel under its own power. The cars in 1700 were but mere steam-propelled road vehicles, and were extremely unreliable - they made noise, destroyed roads and even exploded in your face.

Since then cars have made much progress and we now travel in air-conditioned sedans fitted with gadgets and gizmos like car radios, cigarette lighters and such. Cars today are not just a mode of transport, but also a luxury item, one to be ridden in comfort, one in which one can take a nap in.

Cars in the near future? We can only dream of them now, but this site will give you an insight as to what it might be

But then, the future is the future, and we'll know when it comes.

Catapults History

Catapults History
The Catapults history dates back to antiquity. Various types of catapults were used by the Chinese, Greeks and Romans. The Catapults reached Europe during the Medieval era and were used extensively by the French. Catapults history notes that the weapons were introduced to England in 1216 during the Siege of Dover - as were many other types of siege weapons. Louis the Dauphin of France crossed the Channel with a large force and laid siege to Dover Castle making a violent and incessant attack on the castle walls. He used the Catapults against the walls and men of Dover Castle. The constable of Dover castle was Hugh de Burgh - he refused to surrender. The Medieval Catapults used during the Middle Ages were the Mangonel, the ballista and the mighty trebuchet. The Mangonel complimented the other available siege weapons. The Mangonel was not as accurate as the Ballista but it was able to throw missiles further than a Trebuchet. Missiles were thrown in an overhead arc as opposed to the straight trajectory of the dart throwing Ballista.

Hagfish

Hagfish

The Hagfish is not a species that a lot of people are all that familiar with. Because of this when most people see them for the first time they are certain that the creature is either a snake or an eel, but it is neither. The Hagfish is indeed a fish; it just does not look much like the other fish that we come across. What makes this marine fish stand out is the fact that it does have a body like an eel or a snake and this is due to the fact that the animals have a skull but they do not have vertebrae. As you can imagine that makes the fish a bit confusing to look at. Even many scientists believe that this is the most disgusting and odd of all of the species of sea creatures.

On friday our class is going to the movies to watch hop.We all can't wait.
