Symbiosis Everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In science class we learned about symbiosis. Symbiosis is a relationship with two living organisms. There three types of symbiotic relationships. The first one is mutualism which is a relationship when both organisms benefit. The second one is commensalism which is a relationship when one organism benefits and the other is neutral. The last one is parasitism which is a relationship when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. In parasitism there is a parasite and a host. The organism benefiting is the parasite. The organism being harmed is the host. An interesting fact about parasitism is it has many forms. Some parasites kill their host. Some keep their host surviving. Half of all animals have at least one parasitic phase in their life cycles. I believe that symbiosis is one of the most interesting parts of the world. Animals depend on this kind of relationship to survive.

Boom Blox!!!!!!!

In my science class we played Boom Blox, a popular Wii game created by Steven Spielberg, on our Smartboard. You may be surprised but the game is a fun problem solving game! This game contains many problems and puzzles. There are problems where you cause a chemical reaction, there are puzzles where you hit as many blocks as you can in a number of throws, and there are games where you hit the blocks as fast as you can. With each block you hit you receive points. Depending on your points, time, or throws you get medals. The medals resemble Olympic medals. There is a bronze, silver, and gold, medal. These problems test your brain on how well you can solve a puzzle. The more you practice the better you get! While researching on this fun and educational game I found out that this game contains action- packed interactive creativity, and fun for kids and the entire family. Not only that, but players can build anything they want virtually! Their designs can then be shared with their friends or used to challenge others to their new puzzle using the Wii's WiiConnect24. I believe that this game is very fun and challenging just by my own experience. Kids like me would have a blast by playing as the wacky characters but also challenge themselves by the puzzles and problems.
