Russian fisherman catches a fish with human teeth

Fisherman catches a fish with human teeth

There was a Russian fisherman that caught a fish with human teeth!! Scientists say that this fish is an abnormal fish.

This fish was caught by a man named Aleks Korbov and he was 50 years old when he caught the fish with human teeth. The fish was caught or found in the Atlantic ocean in the Gulf of Mexico. It has lots and lots of teeth and molars inside his mouth. This fish is not from the piranha family. 

I wonder if there are more fish like that out there in the sea and if there are it would be awesome!!

Tea bag rockets

Expt 1: tea bag rockets

Aim: To find out if all teabags will fly like a rocket.

Materials:

• Tea bags
• lighter
• scissors
• bowl

Method:

• Empty the tea bag and shape the tea bag upright.
• Then we light the tea bag with a lighter.
• The observe what happens.

Hypothesis: I predict that all tea bags will fly in the air.

Observation:

Kinds of tea bags	Trial 1	Trial 2	comments
Red seal	Failed	Failed	The first and second trail melted down
Bell	Good	Failed	The second trial fell down
Hyleys	Good	Good	All the trials worked!!!
Healtheries	Failed	Failed	None of these Healtheries tea bags flew up

Results: Not all tea bags flew up in the air because the tea bag was not cut open properly. The tea bags flew because the hot air carries the tea bag and the it will fly.

Conclude: I conclude that one tea bag both flew and one only had one that flew in the air and those are Hyleys ( both flew) and Bell ( one flew).

The plight of the sea turtle

Plight of the sea turtle

Sea turtles have been living for more than 100,000,000 million years but now they are almost extinct because people are killing them!! People are buying and selling them illegally. That is called black market. The people litter by throwing plastic in the sea and lots of sea turtles can get caught in plastic and it will cause the turtles to die.

Is there any solution to the plight of the sea turtle?

If the people don’t kill sea turtles they will be able to live longer. The turtles can cover themselves with their shell. They can go to a place they can be camouflage and protect their babies from predators that are hunting them down.

Fun facts!!!!

• Turtles are reptiles

• They live in hot temperature oceans
• They live in the pacific ocean
• The turtles are cold-blooded
• Sea turtles are endangered

Lunch time at Mary MacKillop center

Mmmm! We are sitting on the grass eating my lunch with my friends. We are at the Mary Mackillop Center it is our school’s 60th diamond jubilee!

Our school have to sit under a tree because it is very sunny. Rangitoto is just across Mission bay beach. The sun is as bright as 10,000 light bulbs. I can see Ben jumping on the trampoline! I feel the wind blowing on my face. I smell the sweetness of the drink the sisters are giving us. The sisters are very kind. I can see Fr. Peter sitting on the bench. This was the best view I've ever will see in my entire life.

I say it is my best lunchtime of my life!!
