Why you should read “the cay"

                 “ Get a move on! Passengers into the boats!”

Tins of lubricating oil in the afterholds had ignited and were exploding and then ..... Don’t you want to know what happens next? Well if you want to then I highly recommend you read, ” The Cay”, by Theodore Taylor.  The Cay is a book about a blind  boy that gets stranded on a raft with an African man called Timothy. Despite how different they are, Philip,the boy, then realises he depends on Timothy to survive and is in great danger without him. Overall I think this is an exceptional and very interesting book and it teaches people how to survive alone and kind of helpless. I think people  ten or over  should read it.

Speech

Vrushti- Why we should not cut down trees

Three main reasons why we should not cut trees

-Trees give us oxygen and we need oxygen to breath

-By cutting down trees many animals are losing their homes 

- we need trees for lots of other things like fruit

Intro: “If you cut a tree, you kill a life. If you save a tree, you save a life.If you plant a tree you plant a life.” The quotes master said. You're probably  wondering what I’m talking about. Well i'll tell you Trees have lives and they give us a lot. But in return we do nothing but cut  them down   . Let's stop this horrific behaviour because by doing this you are reducing the amount of oxygen in the world, lots of animals are losing their homes and we need trees for lots of other things like fruit. I am absolutely certain that we should not cut down trees and by the end of this speech you will too.  

Paragraph 1- oxygen

 Oxygen. It’s something that we all need right.  Well, guess what trees are what provide us with this important substance. If we cut down all the trees then there will be no oxygen. No oxygen means no humans because without oxygen we can not breathe. And it's not just humans but the entire earth would change if there was no oxygen because the earth's crust or the ozone layer is made up of 45% oxygen and if there was no oxygen the ground would crumble and crumble until there was nothing left sending you and everyone on the planet into a free-fall. That's not all, there are a lot more side effects, for example, lots of people will get sunburns, the sky would go dark and I could keep going on but I’ll stick with these for now so in short form the entire earth would be completely destroyed.

paragraph 2- animals

Another reason why we should not cut down trees is that lots of animals live on trees and by cutting down trees they are losing their homes. .  Over 50 000 species are extinct every year due to deforestation. And over 80 000 species are endangered  like tigers, rhinos, and elephants.While their habitats are under constant threat .And some  scientists estimate that in 25 years time 10% of the world's species will die out. All of this is happening because we are cutting down trees. Imagine if your home was cut down by careless people. The next time you use paper, think about those poor homeless animals. 

  

Paragraph3-  other stuff

The last reason why we should not cut down trees is because trees provide us with things we need like nutritions from fruit.. Imagine a burning hot day and you are not allowed to go inside. What are you going to do? Well I don’t know  about you but I would find a tree to sit under and that's another reason why we should not cut down trees because they give you shade and prevent sunburns. Like I said before, think about yourself when you use paper. Would you rather have a horrible sunburn or stop using paper.

conclusion

 Now that I have given my reasons, you can see why we should stop cutting down trees.Its vital that we stop this unforgivable habit. We’re reducing oxygen, ruining animals' homes and we're just making the world a horrible place. If you're using paper use it wisely. We don’t want to waste the earth's source and power.

Why popcorn pops

Why popcorn pops

Introduction

Popcorn is a delicious snack but have you ever wondered how and why it pops, well you are in luck because in this informative text you will learn how piquant popcorn pops.

Middle

paragraph 1-hard shell 

A popcorn kernel (or seed) is corn, but not the regular corn we would eat at a barbecue. It is a different species (type) of corn. A kernel is a small seed, the outside part is called a hull. The hull is a hard shell that protects the seed. 

Paragraph2-the pop

As the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam, which builds pressure inside the kernel. When the hull can no longer contain the pressure POP!  the kernel explodes, and a fluffy new piece of popcorn is born. 

Paragraph 3-inside the hull

Inside the hull, there are many things to learn. The white stuff inside the popcorn kernel is actually starch. That bit is also called the endosperm. It is the seeds fuel.  Beneath that is the germ where it feeds on the endosperm. So that is how it will grow into a plant. 

Conclusion

Popcorn is basically steam rushing out where it pops and grows into popcorn. When it pops it is the sound of steam shooting out of the kernel. Next time, before you eat popcorn, study how all of the science works.

Physical change

Physical change is when you change the shape of an object but can usually change the thing back to how it was before.

An example of physical change is when you turn paper into an airplane 

After video

After watching the video I have learned that physical change is when you take an object like paper do something with it like fold it or crumple it but it still stays the same because it is still paper, the form was changed but the substance stayed the same

Examples of physical change

Folding paper

Shredding paper

Turning paper into different shapes
