We made pickaxes better than diamond pickaxes! Not only did we learn to press command to get the exact color we had from our sword and put it on our pickaxe, we also learned to shade by using variables on the color palette. But the coolest thing was making our own tool material. You get to control its harvest level, max uses, efficiency, damage, and enchantability. Once you get that done with all that, you get to see your AWESOME sword or pickaxe in Mincraft! Now you could kill any monster or destroy any mountain!!!
by Alex One time we were looking at cool documentaries for this website. I saw a documentary that I wanted and it was called Titanoboa: Monster Snake. It was awesome and fun because it was a 48 foot snake that can kill a T-Rex or a crocodile. (If the T-Rex was alive they could have battled to the death and the snake could have lived or the T-Rex could have lived, but they weren't alive at the same time.) They found one of the vertebrae of the snake in Columbia. People exploded that area so they could get coal. Someone accidentally found an ancient leaf. Then the scientists came to Columbia to dig, it was like a time portal back to see the snake that was about 48 feet long. In that time when the giant snake that was alive there was a giant turtle as big as a dinner table. The scientists think it was so big because of the body temperature. They think it was hotter than today. It has to be hotter because they are cold blooded so when it grows warmer they grow bigger and more. The Titanoboa babies when they are born are even three feet long. It is a fun documentary. You should watch it because it is very dramatic, very scary, and very interesting. You should watch it sometime! For all this and more exciting facts and videos see the
LeavesBy Alex When we were watching the documentary How to Grow a Planet, I saw many things that were fascinating that you had to look under a microscope to see. So I looked under the microscope, but I couldn't see somethings in my microscope because I need an electron microscope, but I saw some fascinating things. Three things were awesome: the leaves, petals, and the grasses. The first picture you see, that is one I couldn't get good because I needed an electron microscope. I learned that if you get a microscope and look at a leaf you could see black dots that breathe in light and out oxygen. Fun fact: There is other stuff you can do! If you get an electron microscope and look at a leaf, you can see the mouths opening and closing better. PetalsThis is a flower petal. First, flowers are really important. Plants spread pollen and seeds. The breeze comes and blows the pollen and seeds. Not all the pollen and seeds went were they were supposed to, so that is why they developed flowers so bees would take it where it was supposed to be. There are seeds because the flowers attract insects to the pollen to spread onto another flower because a bee picks it up like a piggy back ride on its belly and legs. Flowers attract insects and animals by color, smell, fruit, nectar, and pollen. Flowers are also important because it grew into a fruit with the seed inside. Animals eat the fruit and poop the seed out in another place to spread the seed. Now that there are flowers you know pollen is going in the right place more than it’s not because bees, ladybugs, humming birds, butterflies, monkeys and lots of other animals and insects take it where it’s supposed to be. Do you want to learn more? Watch How to Grow a Planet: Episode 2- The Power of Flowers. GrassThis is a blade of grass. See needles sticking out sideways? The grasses grew the needles so animals don’t want to eat the plants. Those are very sharp. You can cut yourself. If you play in the grass it is itchy, it doesn’t look like it cut you, but it did. You can’t see it unless you look under a microscope, but because all that grass with the bent spikes are rubbing and rubbing your skin that makes you itchy. I saw it because I looked under the microscope. You can have lots of fun if you get leaves, grasses, and petals from your yard and look at them under a microscope too! For all this and more exciting facts and videos see How to Grow a Planet. Video by Professor Iain Stewart. By Eden :)(: First, our planet was just rock and might have been made another red planet, or should I say, a purple planet. This is all how it started. There was nothing, but then little bacteria that looked like mini purple sticks came along. These purple bacteria were the first living things on Earth, but they lived in the water as protection from harmful rays made from the sun. There was so many the planet looked purple. Their food was the sun, but there were so many bacteria that some didn’t get enough food. The bacteria with not enough food adapted to eat another ray, which they turned green, and this is where life changed. These bacteria gave off something the purple bacteria couldn’t give off: oxygen. Oxygen was everywhere and went up so high it created the ozone layer. The green bacteria spread all over the world, not just in the ocean but also on land and became the your plants in your backyard. Did you ever wonder why plants are green? Well there is your answer. There’s more, do you ever want to see a huge centipede? Just increase the oxygen to a higher level and all the insects will be as tall as you. Do you ever wonder why plants have thorns? Well, yes for protecting themselves from insects and maybe a few deer, but plants evolved to protect themselves from dinosaurs. Do you know how soil started? When the plants moved out of water onto land and they didn’t have water, so they grew roots to get water from underground. The roots were so strong they could break almost anything so when they break rocks, the rocks turn into soil. So, when you see some big and bulky looking trees moving into your street make a run for it! This is how you grow a planet!
