Life is not Fair

Life is not Fair

Life isn't fair. We use this term a lot over the little things in life, my sister gets an iPhone 6 and I don't "Mom, thats not fair", My friends all have something I don't have "that's not fair." The bible speaks of life not being fair in Ecclesiastes 9:11 and says "I also saw other things in this life that were not fair. The fastest runner does not always win the race; the strongest soldier does not always win the battle; wise people don't always get the food; smart people don't always get the wealth; educated people don't always get the praise they deserve. When the time comes, bad things can happen to anyone!" In that verse it says that sometimes things don't work out the way you want it to or the way you think is "fair" you could be the best of the best but still not win. For example, they use the example of the fastest runner doesn't always win the race. Complaining is found all over the bible like in Numbers 14:2 it says the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! They were complaining and not appreciating everything that God does for them like he does for us. They over exaggerate and say they would rather die. Typically, in big situations like that we realize the issues we have in life and what is unfair and we can't always answer them.However, the little things in life typically can be answered to why you don't have them, I may not have an iPhone 6 but that's because I already have an iPhone. 




The harder things in life that are unfair are the ones that can't be answered so easily. "Why do I get food and water when people in poor countries get none of that" but we typically don't focus on the things that we are fortunate in and focus on what is unfair. We don't put much thought into the idea that some people don't have water and we are complaining about an iPhone. We as humans, typically focus on what we think is unfair and don't realize how much we have that's unfair to others.

 In relation to the Bible, a very popular message is of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins but some people don't really think about what that means. Our sins our forgiven, ok. But there is more to it then that but people never really think about it because they are to wrapped up in the idea about what isn't fair but we never think about how what Jesus did wasn't really fair for him he took the sins of many, many people and nothing happened to them;they felt no pain. But he did it for a reason to save us  because he loved us unconditionally, so next time we think life isn't fair remember that even though it doesn't seem like it now but that hardship is there for a reason, and it is part of God's plan for you.

bang bang (gene version)

hey guys!  I am not the most creative person, but the best teacher in the world gave me a challenge of coming up with a genetic rap with Carm, Mo and Lex.Here  is a rough draft of my gene rap to the tune of bang bang! not all of it is done so there is still some words from the actual song. At the very end of the page you get to see our final lyrics for our totally catchy song!


you got a body full of chromosomes
and without them you aren't alive
you have a different genotype
without it we would be alike
You've been learning about that
Stop, hold up,learn your facts
See anybody would need you
you need a genotype to live

gene, gene and chromosomes (I know you have it)
gene, gene and chromosomes (you know need it)
gene,gene in a chromosome (ah)
gene in a chromosome(ah)
gene, gene recessive  (I know you want it)
gene, gene dominant (I know you have it)
dominant takes over  (ah)
in the punnet squares (ah)

Im gonna teach you something about meiosis
its the way of sexual reproduction, has two divisions
No, its not like mitosis its asexual
 has one cell division
See anybody would need you
you need genes to survive

gene,gene and chromosome (I know you want it)
gene,gene and chromosome(you know you need it)
Wait a minute let me show you it (ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (ah)
adaptations happen when an organism can't survive (I know you want it)
it needs to change or it won't be alive (I'll let you have it)

It's guanine and cytosine
It's adenine and thymine
put them together and get your nucleobases 
they all work and make proteins
mess them up and you get a mutation
it happens with an extra chromosome, somewhere in the body
cancer is common, issues within muscles, and genetic disorders happen
It's me, Mo, Carm and Lex
we will put you to the test

gene,gene and chromosomes(I know you want it)
gene, gene and chromosomr(I'll let you have it)

Yo, I said
gene,gene.
gene,gene,gene,gene,
gene,gene,gene,
gene,gene,gene,gene

Final Lyrics:

Mitosis occurs in body cell

which is uh, diploid cell

This undergoes cell division

forming two diploid cells (oh)

(You’ve been waiting for that…

Mitosis, process)

Mitosis divides parent cell

Into two identical daughter cells (oh)

(Chorus)

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

wait a minute you have Brown hair (ah)

Thats because its dominate (ah)

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

Dominant takes over (ah)

in Punnett squares

Punnett squares are when you

can figure out your DNA (oh)

take your parents genes and

it will tell you about your Traits (Oh yeah)

Not everybody looks the same because of your DNA

Genotype is inherited genes from your parents. (oh)

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

wait a minute you have Brown hair (ah) q

Thats because its dominate (ah)

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

Dominant takes over (ah)

in Punnett squares

It's guanine and cytosine

It's adenine and thymine

together and get your nucleobases

they work and make proteins

If you mess them up you get a mutation

it happens with an extra chromosome, somewhere in the body

cancer is common, issues within muscles, and genetic disorders happen

It's  me, Mo, Carm, and Lex

Chromosomes in a body

From a producing cell gamete

Gamete is a diploid

dividing to a haploid

4 haploid cells forming

half the number of chromosomes

In the process of meiosis

G-to the E- to the N- to the O

T- to the Y- to the P- to the E-

See anybody could teach you

You need science to blow your mind your mind

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

wait a minute you have Brown hair (ah) q

Thats because its dominate (ah)

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

Dominant takes over (ah)

in Punnett squares

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

Genes genes genes genes genes genes genes genes genes genes genes genes

Genes genes and chromosomes (I know you have em)

Genes genes and chromosomes  (Can’t live without em)

This is the song

Holy Cross is awesome!



Holy Cross is awesome!
Holy cross is a awesome school and has a lot of strengths such as we have a lot of out side space like the woods where we can do science and actually be able to see nature rather than having to  look at  pictures all the time. Another strength about Holy Cross is that since we have a small school everybody knows each other.

Some problems we have in Holy Cross is we don't have a place to do the announcements all the time because the cameras don't always work and the podium that we stand behind is small so half of us is in the podium and the other half isn't which doesn't look good. Another problem that we have is we don't have a place for the older kids to play in other than the gym which isn't as fun as having a gaga pit. Finally it is irritating having to wait for somebody to unlock the door for you because they are always locked, especially when we are running late for the announcements we have to wait until somebody with a key comes to open the door for us.

This would be awesome! but we have to make a similar kind

A solution for the announcements issue is we could put two desk in a room with a big map or green screen behind us and a better camera right in front of us that way that announcements look better and don't just randomly cut.

A solution for older kids not having a place to play is we could build a gaga pit which is really fun!

A final solution for being able to get into the building is older kids who are responsible could get keys in the morning and give them back later on the day to use that way problems with not being able to enter don't occur.



Calcium (Ca)

Calcium was discovered by Humphry Davy in 1808. He discovered calcium by mercuric oxide and lime and then preformed electrolysis on it. Some of his ideas were based off of Pontin and Jons Jacob Borzeius's experiments which created calcium amalgam but Davy got Calcium by its self. 





Calcium is found in a lot of foods such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, seaweeds, nuts and seeds, beans figs, broccoli, spinach, tofu, and many more foods and of course in our body's and different types of rocks.We can find calcium in a lot of foods we eat and in our bones/body  so we know it is present, doctors also know that it is in our body's. 


.


Calcium is typically a found as a compound because in nature it is never found by itself. Some common compounds that calcium is in are calcium arsenate, calcium carbide, calcium carbonate, calcium cyanamid, calcium oxide, calcium phosphide, calcium silicate and calcium sulfate. 







Calcium is in period 4 on the periodic table because it is a alkali metal  an it is a chemical element. Calcium is in group 2 because it is alkaline earth metal, which is what group two contains

calcium fun facts:
In order for humans to absorb calcium we need vitamin D!
The word calcium came from the latin calx word which means lime.
You need it to strengthen your bones, and to keep your body healthy.
