With the New Year comes New Challenges.
This week you are going to do your first Weekly Science Article Report of the New Year. The guidelines are the same with one exception:
You MUST choose your article from a website called Science News. This site publishes articles about all kinds of science, so pick what you like. You can get to the site here:
Science News
And, as a reminder:
For a reminder, here's what to do for this assignment:
1) Citation: Here you will put the name of the article, the author, and where you found it (for example, the New York Times or Science News for Kids).
2) A brief summary: Here you will summarize the article in one or two sentences. This is to give your readers (including me) a sense of what you have read.
3) Reflection: This is the biggest part of your report. I am interested in your response to the article. Please address the following questions in your reflection:
a) What did you think about the article? Did you like it or not? Why?
b) What interested you or surprised you about the article?
c) What questions do you have about what you read? What would you like to know more about what you’ve read?

"Groovy Teeth Suggest Dinosaur was Venomous"
By Sid Perkins (January 16th, 2010)
This article tells of a dinosaur, "Sinornithosaurus", that has recently been found to have venom in its bite. This "turkey-sized" reptile was found in China 10 years ago, and shows signs of venomous characteristics that creatures still roaming do as well, including strange grooves in its teeth that stored the venom produced in its venom-producing glands below the eyes.
I really liked the article. Besides the fact it was about Dinosaurs, and was written by a time-traveler, it was a really cool article, chock full of information. I don't really know much about venomous creatures, and this taught me about how the process works. It also proved how little we know about the past. It took scientists 10 years to find out what the crevices and grooves in the teeth and skull were for. 10 years! That's a lot of time. This article was well written, short and sweet, with words that I could easily understand. It also included a diagram of the Sinornithosaurus' skull, which was important if you really wanted to understand the dinosaur. However interesting this article is, it was still very brief and didn't explain much besides the basics. I'd like to hear more about the researching process, and the actual structure of the Sinornithosaurus. They really only talked about the average size, and parts of the skull, not much else.

Science News.
It is about how birds can detect their baby eggs from another kind of bird's egg.
I think this is a very intresting topic. Because it shows how smart birds are. Some people underestamate birds. Like those birds on those CleanX commercials that just fly into the window. I think that maybe they are sometime smarter then humans. Like they fly instead of taking a car! What surprised me was that i did'nt know birds see in color! And a better and more vibrent color scheme!
I don't really have any questions about this except that how do they know that this is in every bird?
That is my report. Thx!!!!!!!! :)
"Plenty of Black Holes Do-Si-Do"
By Lisa Grossman
This Article is about how from the W.M. Keck observatory ,(in Hawaii)their space telescope found 33 combined galaxies in pairs of humongous black holes which are all around the galactic center.
I thought this article was very nice. Mostly because I learned some interesting facts. For example,
- Did you know that finding pairs of black holes that are moving in certain ways can help estimate how often galaxy mergers happen in the universe?
I for one didn't know that, until I read this article!
What surprised me about this article was when I found out how these black holes in the universe are much more common than we knew!
one question I have about this article is...
How exactly can scientists estimate how often these galaxy mergers occur by just the way they move? Is there a certain trick to doing this?
Other than the question I had this article was very nice and interesting and I had enjoyed reading it!
this is for Manny Lautner.:) I really like your topic. It really pops out the most to me then the others.
Pet tarantulas can pose a hairy threat
By Janet Raloff
I found this article on the Science New like that was connected to the blog
The article was about how tarantulas even if they are not venomous can shoot out tiny hairs that can get stuck in soft tissue mainly the eyeball. The article talked about incidents when that had happened and how to get the hairs out.
I liked the article I didn’t think it was bad but at some points I lost my interest in the topic. Although I really enjoyed reading the stories about people who had pet tarantulas and how they got sprayed by the hairs.
It surprises me that it took a person 2 to 6 years for their eye to recover from the redness and being inflamed. Also that I didn’t even know that people owned pet tarantulas. It also said that we the spider is scared, stressed, angry, the spider will shoot out the hairs as a sign of warning or defense. For example one person was trying to get a hard stain off the spiders tank so he was scrubbing at the tanking very forcefully and that frightened the spider so therefore he shoot out the hairs to protect him.
One question that I have is where do the hairs come from and do the hairs have some sort of material that makes them irritated the eyes.
This is for mannylautner:)
I really thought you had an interesting topic and that I like how you listed 2 facts from the article that were really interesting. Also if I were reading the article I would probably think of the same questions.
This is for dashygurl101 said
I really liked how you used some humor in your report and also I like how you also gave a fact which makes that article more interesting.
This is for Pikachu
I really liked your summery it quickly gave me an idea about what the article was going to be about. Also I really liked how you include so much festinating information in your report.
1. My article is called "New-found Galaxies May Be Farthest Back in Time and Space Yet"
By Ron Cowen
I found it on Science News.
2. My article is about how there are new galaxies that they have just discovered.
3. a. I think that the topic of my article was interesting, but I had to read some things over because it got a bit boring. I would say that I didn't really like the article.
b. The whole point of the article surprised me because they found new galaxies. It didn't really interest me that much. It didn't really grab me in any way.
c. I don't have any questions besides how did they find these galaxies, or what would make people think in the first place that there were more galaxies out there. But as I said, the article didn't really interest me that much, so I am not really wondering about much at all.
(I'll post my comments later in the week)
1.) The name of my article was “Tides In Earths Crust Trigger Small, Deep Quakes”. The author of my article was Sid Perkins. I found my article at Science News (sciencenews.org).
2.) My article was about how waves affect the earths crust. The more waves there are the more likely that area is to have an earthquake. Studies also show that near, after, and during tsunamis earthquake activity becomes really high, and it is more possible to have an earthquake.
3.) A) I thought my article was interesting, and I liked it. I liked It because it shows how different types of natural disasters are connected. I also liked it because it made me think about global warming. It made me think if global warming gets to bad, and we get more water melted into our oceans, will earthquakes be more likely to happen.
B) What really surprised me is how tsunamis are connected to earthquakes. In December 2004 there was a tsunami, in Indonesia, and a quarter of the way around the globe, in Alaska, small earthquakes happened.
C) My only question is: Does global warming make earthquakes happen more often? I would like to know more about the tests they did.
to Pikachu...
I like your topic, and your report also gave a really good amount of information.
Wow Pikachu a Venomous Dinosaur I did no know that a Dinosaur could be Venomous! It must had developed the venom because of its size. You picked a grate article.
Input out.
1. My article is called "Cameras Catch Underwater Volcano In the Act" by Sid Perkins. I got it from ScienceNews.
2. This article is about a volcano, underwater. Also, this volcano was caught in action by underwater scientists.
3. (A) I liked this article a lot. I liked it because I never knew that volcano's were underwater, or that they could erupt underwater.
(B) What surprised me about this was that scientists could actually catch a volcano in action. It also surprised me that volcano's could erupt underwater, because the water could be cold and melt the volcano, or the volcano could fall apart.
(C) My question is, how do scientists catch a volcano in action? Also, how do volcano's erupt under water?
4. This is for: Bob. I liked your description, although I could've read a little more about it. This is for: Teddy Bear. I liked your comment and response to this article. There was a lot of description and I understood it. This is for: Mannylautner:). I liked your comment. The questions were good and your artice seems very interesting
My article was called "Lupus not identical in twins" by Tina Hesman Saey. It was about how even if one twin has lupus, the other one might not. It says that if genes were responsible for lupus, then every time an identical twin got lupus, the other one would too. I really enjoyed the article. I didn't know any of these things before I read it. That’s the good thing about reading, it really helps you learn. I wasn't surprised though, to find that lupus wasn't caused from your genes because before I read this article, the only thing I knew was that it was an autoimmune disease, which I learned from watching House. I really did enjoy it though because I wanted to learn more about lupus. It was a really cool article.
Title: Cancer Plaguing Tasmanian Devils Began in One animals Nerve
Author: Tina Hesman Saey
Summary: This article is about Tasmanian Devils getting a Cancer that involves facial tumors and makes the Tasmanian Devils endangered.
Reflection:
a) I liked the article very much because it talks about a poor animal that has become endangered and needs as much help as it can get. (P.S, I love animals)
b) It really surprised me how animals could become endangered so quickly just because of a disease. Poor Things!!!
c) I want to know how they found out about this cancer, and why it only affected Tasmanian Devils. There are lots of other animals in Tasmania.
This is for i love cheesecake yes i do:
I like your topic!
I really think you did a great job!!!
Keep up the good work!
This is for Bob:
I like how you were honest about not really liking the article that you read. But I think that you also did a great job writing it.
This is for Dashy gurl:
I liked yours very much.
Short and simple.
Way to go!!!
to stichlover
I think that you have a really good topic. I should have done an article more interesting like yours. I also think that you have a good question.
to ilovepickles4ever
I liked your topic, it sounds like an interesting article. I think you wrote about it very well.
I read an article called “Texting and Driving Don’t Mix, Just as Suspected from http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/51423/title/Texting_and_driving_dont_mix%2C_just_as_suspected_. It is about how when people use phones when driving get distracted and don’t drive properly. One example was that they drive out of their lane. There were 7 collisions, 6 of them were because of the driver texting. They say that with boys using electronics they speed up and girls slow down. They say that texting, talking on the phone or doing stuff on an mp3 player takes away attention needed for driving.
I thought that this was an interesting article. I didn’t think that out of 7 collisions 6 of them were caused by phone use.
One question that I have is how many accidents happen by phone use per year.
This is to ilovechesecakeyesido97
You did a pretty good job, makes the article sound interesting to read.
My article is called TEXTING AND DRIVING DON'T MIX, JUST AS SUSPECTED by Nathan Seppa. It is about how texting or talking on the phone while driving is dangerous.
I was interested in this article because I agree with them. I have heard of people texting while driving, and in-fact I know some people who shall remain nameless whose parent answers emails on the phone while driving(no they are not in the school). I get a little worried about it sometimes so I'm hoping they will stop soon. My question is, are only teenagers effected by it? So if the person is older, an adult maybe, can they be trusted to be texting or talking on the phone?
This comment is for Pikachu.
I think you did a very good job. Your article was absolutely very interesting. You did an amazing job telling about it. That is really cool that the dinosaurs had venom, but thats a very small dinosaur sounds like the bigger ones could just crush it i wonder how it survived amongst them.
This comment is for C.96.M.27.K.12.
I like how it made you think of global warming. That shows how much you care about global warming and how aware of it you are. Lots of people just see articles like that and don't think anything of them, you really did good.
This comment is for ilovepickles4ever.
It is very interesting that they caught a volcano erupting under water. I agree with you, I would think the water would stop the volcano from erupting. Also i would maybe think that even if the volcano erupted nothing would happen because the lava would cool off immediately and wouldn't do anything.
Depression Medication May Offer Mood Lift Via Personality Change
Bruce Bower
Science News-Humans
This article is about how certain depression medications (Paxil) change two parts of your personality (high neuroticism and low extraversion) before it takes effect on your mood.
I found the information in this article to be very interesting. While, at times it was difficult to understand and worded difficultly, it was a good article. Because I didn't really know anything about certain chemicals in the brain and how they affect your mood, and medication, none of it was shocking to me, but it was pretty cool to learn about.
There were a few things I found interesting in this article. The medication first changes your personality (which was one interesting thing) before it can affect your mood. I also didn't know that the two traits (high neuroticism and low extraversion) had so much to do with how people interact with the world and whether they're depressed or not. Also, there is a chemical messenger in your brain called serotonin which controls those 2 personality traits, and medications like paxil increase the amounts of it. I found this interesting because it really shows you how advanced depression medications are. The main thing I liked about the article is how they took something that you wouldn't normally think twice about, and told you exactly how complex and important it is, which made it an interesting topic to read about.
I would like to know how other advances in this field are being made. I would also like to know how noticeable the changes are in the people, did they're entire personality change? Were they just in a better mood? Does it affect the physical pain associated with depression?
This is for Bob-
The title of your article immediately caught my attention. While you wrote you comment very well, it didn't give much information. It left me wondering, like how exactly are the galaxies the farthest back in time? But overall, good job!
This is for teddy bear-
The topic of your article sounded very interesting! I never knew that about tarantulas. I also liked the questions you asked, they were very thought-provoking. I can tell you took time reading your article
This is for stitchlover-
The article you read sounded good! Your comment left me with questions, it wasn't very specific, but it did give a good idea of the article. Also, your questions were great, and they were ones I didn't even think about.
This is for teddy bear:
I liked your topic a lot, I thought it was very interesting. You wrote a lot of info on your topic. I learned a lot about tarantulas from yours.
This is for mannylautner:):
I liked what you wrote a lot. You wrote so much, and I learned a lot. I like how you wrote some of the facts you learned.
This is for dashygurl101:
I liked how what you wrote was short, but told me everything I needed to know. I thought your topic was really cool and interesting. I also liked how you compared your article to a commercial
Title of Article: Biologists Clam Up Waterways To Determine Sources Of Pollution
Author: Unknown
Website/Where I found it: Science Daily (http://www.sciencedaily.com/)
This article is about how biologists can use clams as ways to find out the sources of toxins in the water. By placing the clams in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water nearby industries and suspected sources of pollution, they (scientists) can track down the sources of pollution.
I liked this article because it was informative and taught me new pieces of information. Another good thing about this article was that there was a video to go along with it; the video which contained a lot of information, it also provided a very good visual. Watching the video after reading the article allowed me to get more information out of the article itself. The article was very easy to understand and it was interesting to read. I think that the author of this article did a good job. Suggestions that I have for this article are that, the author could’ve gone a little bit deeper in the research, and explained more thoroughly the changes that this can mean.
I was surprised by the information in the article because it was new to me. I never knew that clams could absorb toxins into its tissues. This is called bioaccumulation (when toxins and pollutants are absorbed and collected by the tissues of an organism.). This article also taught me about a new way to help the environment. One example of the success of this method, was in Maryland, where the biologist found out that a banned pesticide in Maryland, thought to have been buried years ago was still leaking and ruining the health of the water. In general I think that this topic was one of interest because a lot of people care about the environment and how big corporations are affecting it. It was both informative and enjoyable to read.
The questions I have after reading this are article are;
1) How popular is this method? Do other states and countries use clam to indentify the sources of toxins and pollution?
2) Are there any other cost effective ways to detect pollutants and toxins other than using clams?
3) How many other organisms do bioaccumulation? What are the names of the organisms?
This is for Jem1234567...
I liked your work, I thought it was good. I think it was a bit informative. The topic that you chose seemed interesting because depression affects people of various ages. It seems like a good idea to know how depression medicines can affect a person's personality. It was good overall.
This is for Bob...
While I was looking for a article to write about, I came across the article you wrote about, and I read it. I agree with you that the article was a tad bit boring, but I must disagree with on the notion that the main idea of the article was boring, because I thought that is was rather interesting. I think you expressed your thoughts clearly.
Good Job!
This is for Teddy Bear...
I thought your topic was a good one. I'm not exactly a fan of spiders, and in fact, I'm quite scared of them. Your article just seems support my thoughts. I once met someone that had a pet tarantula, I was scared and awestruck, that a big, hairy, spider could be a pet. The person told me that spiders are friendly and nice, as long as you don't try to kill them, they they also said that the non-poisonous ones pose no threat. Well, I think that shooting out hairs that irritate the eyes and such is quite threatening. I liked your report, and I thought it was good.
Nice job!
to teddy bear
Nice job on the report. I'll try to read the article whenever I get a chance
My article is called Pet Tarantulas Can Pose a Hairy Threat, by Janet Raloff, found on Science News.
The article was about how pet tarantulas, although known to be harmless, can cause a lot of damage. It was mostly about people that have had their eyes damaged due to their pet tarantulas.
I liked the article a lot because it was really interesting to read and surprisingly very funny. I thought it was weird how so many people didn't know that their tarantulas had done anything to them, and that so many people were oblivious to the fact that their spiders were harmful. It also surprised me that tarantulas release a “mist” of hairs that stick to your eyes and face, and people didn't realize it until now.
However, I would still like to know more about how/why tarantulas release barbed hairs.
for: teddy bear...
I liked your report. I sort of chose the same one. I thought you wrote it really well, and you acctually had a good question.
for: Madscientist101...
I thought the article you read sounded really interesting from the way you wrote it. It was really auprising that people only needed clams to find the sources of toxins in the water, especially when our whole world is full of really poluting junk.
for: timeblazer42...
I thought it was really interesting that when boys used electronics while driving they went faster, while girls slowed down, which leaves me wondering why they do that.
Texting and Driving Don’t Mix, Just as Suspected
By Nathan Seppa
Science News
This article talks about the affect that texting has on a person’s reaction time, while they are driving. It lists several experiments that were done that were all slightly different.
I liked reading this article because it is a matter that I see happening in cars that I am in almost every day, when a friend or a parent picks up their phone and reads a text message. I didn’t know that looking at a phone for 2 seconds could really do that much damage, but it really does. I was surprised that when this experiment was being done, the test drivers were on real roads with other cars that were clearly unaware of the experiment. The scientists also compared the reaction times of people talking on cell phones in busy traffic, to the reaction time of people texting. The people who were texting had been far more distracted by the activity. I was also surprised by the results of a study done in 2008. It turns out that with most accidents involving drivers from the ages of 16-19, there were more severe injuries that occurred and most of the drivers were reported to be using their cell phones when prior to the crash. Another interesting statistic was that drivers have their eyes on the road 4 times longer when they are not texting, than when they are texting.
Some questions that I have are:
• Have any tests been done on drivers using blue tooth devices?
• If there are people in the car with the driver while they are texting/talking, does that affect the reaction time more or less, or is it simply the same as when they are alone.
• Have tests been done with drivers listening to MP3 players?
• Is there a difference between young drivers texting/talking and older drivers texting/talking?
whoops! wrong period

Darker Liquor, Never Sicker
By Laura Sanders
This article compared whether bourbon or vodka gave drinkers a more severe hangover. 93 healthy adults between the ages of 21 to 33 were given caffeine free cola mixed with either bourbon, vodka, or tonic water. They drank until their breath alcohol level was around .11, which over way over the legal limit. They were hooked up to sleep monitors to record brain activity. Then they were allowed to sleep until 7:00 am. In the morning, they were not given anything and asked how they felt. Overall, bourbon drinkers reported more severe hangovers.
I thought the article was interesting, but it did not have much information on the study besides the number of testers and age range. It doesn’t say if these testers were regular drinkers or if this was the first time they tried bourbon or vodka. I would also like to know why these 2 types of alcohol were chosen. The only conclusion that I got was that all the drinkers were still impaired the next morning.
Questions:
1 – Which has a higher alcohol content, bourbon or vodka?
2 – Were there an equal number of men and women? Men can generally handle alcohol better than females?
3 – Did they eat before they drank?
4 – Did they sleep at the same time? Some testers may drink and reach the alcohol level sooner and may have extra sleep time.
5 – What is the average weight of the testers?
Aritcle: Scientists explain mystery of triangular snowflakes
By:Stephen Ornes
2)The article I read was about a man named Kenneth Libbrecht, who owns his own labratory making snow flakes and studing there motion, energy and matter.
3)
a. I really enjoyed this article. It was very interesting to me because he has a very unique lifesyle making snowflakes in his labratory.
b.What really suprised me about this article is that you may think that snowflakes are so pretty. Although they may seem like it snowflakes are made up of tiny piece of dust in the air. What also suprised me was not only does he study snowflakes he takes professional photo's of them and puts them on the internet.
c.
One question I have is how do these scientist make the snowflakes?
Also, how cold does it have to be in the labratory to keep the snowflakes from melting.
miss0892:
I liked how you chose something out of the bow. I also liked how you responded to the article and you put your own input in it.
labrat 51:
I like how you chose a topic that alot of people need to hear about. I also liked how you put your emotions in it.
for ilovepicklesforever I really enjoyed your topic. I never knew that there were volcanos could grow under water.
for RolexJoe I liked your article because i got to learn more about types of alcohal. I would have liked to read it.
miss0892 I really don't like spiders, but that was a cool story. I would like to read it and you did a good job
New-found galaxies may be farthest back in time and space yet
By Ron cowen
This I really found interesting, space is such a mystery that when we discover something new it brings a lot of wonder and excitement. By using the Hubble space telescope to its very limit, astronomers have discovered 3 galaxies that may come from a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. In that case, the Hubble is seeing light that reveals the galaxies as they first appeared just 480 million years after the birth of the universe. (That light traveled for billions of years to reach Earth.)
I found this so interesting because space is probably one of the biggest mysteries known to mankind. To discover something new about it is an important event. There is so much more to see and to learn about space and the fact that we can see other galaxies, perhaps ones like our own that can obtain life!
a) I found the article horribly interesting and informative. I think that a lot of people will find it interesting because it’s such a mysterious subject.
b) What interested me is that how amazing it is that we can discover things like this that are billions of light years away. Today’s technology is so much greater then it was fifty years ago and I’m excited to see how much more we will accomplish in the year to come.
c) I do not have any questions. The article was written clear and well but may be a bit confusing if you don’t read it carefully.
this is for ilovechesecakeyesido97: i thought what you wrote was very interesting. I thought that if one twin had an something like lupus the the other one was bound to have it. good job!
this is for rolexjoe: i really like your article. you explained everything well and clear. Its important for people to know these types of things about alcohol
this is for miss0892: I really like your because although i too they were harmless due to something i've learned in school i always thought they could do a lot of harm. good job!
1. Not too soon to announce possible earliest galaxies known from Science News. By Ron Cowen.
2. This article is about the findings of other galaxies. it talks about the time it appered and the tellings of them.
3. a) I did not really like this article because it involved diferent theories. and I think that theories should not be used in a public experament. It was also a little long, and hard to follow.
b) Like in a, what suprised me was using theories sutch as "the big bang"
c) Some questions I have are, did they find any onther things in other galaxies sutch as other life forms or planets? and is it possible to find space livabul for our kind (humans and animals)?

what Madscientist101 said was good. I especially like the way she set hers up in all writing form (paragraphs).
I like what stitchlover said. she had great enthusiam and the information was given out like a conversation
I also like what Pikachu said, the information she gave was understandabul and given in a good way
To C.96.M.27.K.12
I like how yours was nice lenghth. Also it really showed that you knew what you read. I tells a lot in a little... REMEMEBR!!!!- less is more!!!!!! (i know who r u!)
1. The article I found is called “Texting and Driving Don’t Mix, Just as Suspected,” by Nathan Seppa. I found this article on the Science News website.
2. This article explained how texting is not a good choice while driving. Texting while driving causes the driver to look down and not focus on the road. This can cause an accident. Recently, there has been a study to prove this theory, and scientists have determined that texting while driving is not only worse than talking on the phone and driving, texting while driving can also be fatal. The purpose of this study and article was to inform people and possibly tighten laws about texting while driving.
3. I really liked this article because texting while driving is a big issue in our society. It is hugely risky, and I think that more people should be informed about the harmful affects. One question I have is why don’t all state governments enforce texting while driving laws? I am interested in this topic because it seems like common sense to not text and drive, yet people do it anyway.
this is for timeblazer42-
your topic was very interesting to read about. Itt makes me want to find out more about the topic.
this is for C.96.M.27.K.12-
I really enjoyed your article. It had a lot of interesting information. I learned a lot of new things.
Contested Signs of Mass Cannibalism
Bruce Bower
This article is about how archaeologists have found more than 7,000 thousand year old human bones. Decades ago people were butchered like animals, eaten, and the remains were thrown away into pits as a new study suggests. In a village that is now called Herxheim, Germany people such as slaves, war prisoners, and other people were sacrificed.
I liked this article because it was something discovered and you don't hear about cannibalism that often.
What made be suprised about this article was that the bones were discovered in Germany.
I would not like to read more about this topic and I don't have any questions.
This is for C.96.M.27.K.12
Good description of the article
Comments o other fellow students:
1) Jack Bauer, I like/agree with you that you mentioned that you feel people shouldn't use different theories in a public experiment. Respectfully, I suggest to you that you should really go over your comments to check whether you spelled and used proper grammar for everything that you wrote.
2) Kyla, I liked how you expressed how interested you were in this topic. Though, if you were so interested, than why wouldn't you want to read more about it-just out of curiosity...:)
3)Summer09, Um, I thought it was funny that you did the same article as me and that you had one of the same questions as me, although I didn't include it in my article. You wrapped up what the article was about very clearly.
WISE sees its first stars
By Lisa Grossman Science news
This article is about a telescope on a nine month mission to take pictures of the entire sky around us. The telescope takes one picture every 11 seconds and by the time the 9 month is over the telescope will have scanned the entire sky one and a half times
I liked this article. I have always found stars and space really interesting. I can’t imagine I giant telescope in the sky taking pictures of all of the stars and galaxies around us. The first picture taken had around 3,000 stars in it. I enlarged the picture and saw that most of the stars are light blue and weight but there are some that are yellow and have green coming out of them. I was wondering why stars are different colors? Also what is the red fog that you see in the background of the picture? I would like to read more about stars.
To Pikachu
Your article was very interesting; I never knew there could be a dinosaur that had venom in its bite. It’s pretty cool that it had venom producing glands below the eyes and grooves in its teeth that stored the venom. I would like to know more about how it was discovered.

Your article is very interesting, I think people should never text and drive, it is very dangerous. In some states texting while driving is illegal. I feel texting while driving should be banned. You did a good job.

I enjoyed your article; I never knew that making snowflakes in a laboratory was a full time job. Is it possible to re create a snowflake? Wouldn’t the snowflakes melt at room temperature? What is the point or importance of making snowflakes?
C.96.M.27.K.12: I really liked your post. It was easy to read, and informative. You had a great summary, quick, and to the point. It gave me just the right amount of information I needed. I also liked how you included some facts in your post, like how Alaska also felt effects from the tsunami in Indonesia. It made it a lot more fun to read. Good job!
timeblazer42: You choose a really interesting topic. I can easily relate to that, even if I don't drive, because I see how distracted people can get when on the phone and driving. You made some good points, and kept it short and sweet. It was kind of hard to read though, because it was in one big chunk.
Madscientist101: I really enjoyed your comment. I'm interested in biology, and you're review was especially interesting. I never knew about bioaccumulation, and you explained it really well. However, you're post was a little intimidating to read, because it was so long. Try splitting it up into sections, so it can be easier to read.
Not too soon to announce possible earliest galaxies known
ScienceNews.org
By Ro Cowen
I like what this article because it interests me a lot about the science of space. They talk a lot about how old it is and how it really was discovered which keeps the reader reading.
I think this is a great thing to write about because it is really interesting and it has been a question for a long time. And it is also hard to believe even though it’s the truth. I personally like this article because space interests me a lot. And I always wondered if there were other galaxies. The article is very well written and goes over how it was discovered, what it is or what we think it is, and what we think is to come of it.
What interest me was that it was about space and unknown places. What surprised me about it was all of it…other galaxies and that they are real! I would like to keep up with what’s happening on this discovery.
Article nombre: Not too soon to anounce possible earliest galaxies Known
Author: Robert Cowen
1. As i began to read the article it became more interesting because i like to learn about other galaxies.
2.portrait of the universe recorded by the remade Hubble Space Telescope, and they have a possible good reason.The image, combined with a similarly deep portrait of the same patch of sky recorded by Hubble in visible light five years earlie that reveals galaxies that are very distant.Light from far galaxies travel for billions of years to reach Earth, the light emitted by the bodies reveal how they appeared to be about thirteen billion years ago.
1. This is for Jack Bauer. I thought that you did a good job summing up the article and giving your opinion on it. I also liked how you explained the article was hard to follow, so I know not to read it, or read it with care. However, I think that because the "Big Bang" is a theory base upon sceintific evidence, it can be used in scientific publications.
2. This is for Kyla. I thought that the choice of article that you chose was really interesting and different: not many people are willing to read about canniblism. I liked how you used such descriptive language. However, is there a reason why you are surprised that evidence of canniblism was discovered in Germany?
3. This is for Bob. I liked how quickly you summed up your info/summary, and I also liked how you were so open with your opinions. I like how you let the reader know that the article got a bit boring and you had to read some things twice. However, I wonder why you started reading this article if not part of it gripped you (saying this means not even the title, pictures, or captions pull you in)?
This is a correction for the post I made commenting on other people's work:
1) when I say scenintific I mean scientific.
2) when I say "However, I wonder why you started reading this article if not part of it gripped you? I mean "However, I wonder why you started reading this article if not one part gripped you?
The fact that we can see other planets excite me but that they are not reachable dissapionts me
uranium238 can we harnest 4.5 billion yrs of almost an ulimited power source, if we, can we use it to power space crafts to go fast enough to explore the other galaxies with out people dying of old age. Like a time of 5 or more but less than 24 hours is when you get to the planet. in a couple of yrs like 20 to 30 i dout we will but can we lower of radioactive power.
ilovechesecakeyesido97: I really liked how your article was a brief summary and it was simple but I want to know what it lupus?
stitchlover: I liked how your blog was organized and I liked your topic, but how does the Tasmanian Devil have to do with the cancer?
CrazyCurls: I think that was a good article to read because texting and driving is not safe but I would want to know what do you think that the article is helpful for people?
I like the way u think dashygurl 101 i didnt know that birds c in color that kinda suprised me when u metioned it.
sorry Summer09 i have to disagree with u thing like this studying snow flakes r a waist of presous money and time. but their is some good in wat hes doing may help global worming and other things

This story is about paleantologists finding evidence of 4 leggd walking organisms about 18 million years before organisms were thought to walk on land.
This article was actually very interesting to me because I like to learn about what cam before all of us and what we came from. I know there are a lot of discoveries like this every year and they're always cool to read about. There are many different time period of life and they last millions of years but even in paleantologist terms 18 million years is a good amount of time. it took us 300 years to get from having not too many vaccines and technnologies, just inventing the first guns to cell phones with projectors and all this new digital stuff in 300 years. think of 18 million now. The fossils were found in a quarry and researchers came and found the new discovery and worked on it, as simple as that. Now what else is ther to find? Some questions I have about this article is, what type of organism is this? How do they know for sure it had four legs? Last of all, How did this change happen?

edited, i found some errors
1. I got this article from a site called Science News. Tina Hesman Saey wrote this article. It was called Cancer Plaguing Tasmanian Devils Began in one Animals nerve cells
2. This Article was about how Tasmanian Devils are started to have this tumor called Devil Facial Tumor diseases. It is a decease that is spreading from devil to devil which means that this decease is very contagious. Scientist say that if they can not find a cure for this devils may be extinct in 10 years. 70 percent already have this decease.
3.
A) I loved this article. I thought that it was really interesting and I learned things that I never knew. I also am really interested in cancer and I really liked the topic. So I thought that all around this was a really well written article.
B) What really interested me and surprised me is that Cancer is contagious. It spread from devil to devil and that is why it killed so many devils because it is so contagious. It really interested my because I now that in real life when a person has cancer it is not contagious so I really like that fact.
C) Things that I would like to learn more about is, what kind of scientist look major on this. How do they find the percents on how many as died? How do they catch the devils? I was also wondering how exactly the devils interacted to make each other sick. Does The animal know that it is sick and what do t

eye8AburgerJR i was suprising to me to what kind of image we got from it and theyre making a new hubble telescope and it may be more advanced that the one we were just reading about
Depression medication may offer mood lift via personality shift
Bruce Power, ScienceNews
In this article, Bruce explains how a depression medicine, Paxil, works. It also explains how it changes your personality, which changes your mood that essentially cures depression.
I liked this article because whenever I see an anti-depression ad on TV., I always wonder how it works. This article explained to me about how the brain cells react to everything differently based upon the amount of a certain chemical messenger that it has, and the medicine contains more of the messenger, making the personality of the user better.
The thing that surprised me about the article is how more than half of patients treated with Paxil still had depression. It amazes me with all the thought goes into a product that seems as if will work without fail, it can still be somewhat unsuccessful.
The questions I have are what did depression meds. do before this method was used, and how the relationship with the brain cells and chemical messengers work. I would like to know more about this topic because I have a few family members with depression and it would help me to know what is happening to them when they take these meds.
teddy bear- I loved your topic i thought also that it was really intresting that it took 2 to 4 years for the eyeballs to stop being flamable and red. I also loved how you said that some parts didnt intrest me. Good Job!
xxsir<3sevxx- I was really intrested in your topic. I thoought that was also verry intresting that most severe acidents were because texting and driving. Good choice!
princepricklypaul- I really liked your artical. I loved how you said it suprisingly intrested you because somtimes i get the same feeling. The only thing though is you have to be maybe a little more careful with your spelling. Over all it was very intresting.
My artical was calles new founded galaxys. It was about astromeners who found 3 galaxies that were there before the big bang. I thought that this artical was o.k. because it was intresting but also some times confusing. I was surprised there was galxies before the big bang. I have a question about lots of things because like I said before it was confusing.
Pickachu I thought your review was realy good but what do you mean time traveller.
Teddy Bear you cept me intrested about how the scorpions can damage eyes.
I Love CheeseCake I was confused by your review because I don't know what lupus is.
