My topic is about Volcanoes and natural disasters

This issue interests me because thousandths of people have have died in earthquakes, hurricanes, volcano eruptions, Tsunamis  and floods.

I want people to learn what others have to go through and to recognize those who have died in accidents and how to stay away from one or important facts that can be useful in these kinds of situations.

 This issue needs to be addressed because to many deaths are occurred per natural disasters so maybe they can be someway to prevent that from happening by maybe creating a game?

This is a Volcano eruption found in http://informationcentral0.tripod.com/id13.html

1. What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?
The penguins have to stay alive, stay warm, stay away from predators and also eat. They need to also keep their population from extinction.


2. How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?
Because Antartica is a very cold place and sometimes it can be too cold that it causes the penguins to die.
In their habitat they also find some predators out to eat them so mainly the new born penguins but also the adult ones are in danger of animals below the ice so for when they go catch food/prey other aniimals are looking for penguins to be their prey.


3.What types of adaptions do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters ans predators?
Thicker layer of fur to stay warmer. Better use of their body parts such as hands so they can stay away from predators and defend themselves


4.Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? How does this effect the climate?
The reason why is, Antartica is all of the way in the bottom of the Earth not much sunlight travels to the bottom of the Earth so it causes it to be cold and dark. 


* Why is it important that the ground is frozen solid during the months of breeding?
  So they can have a place to breed also have have something to set foot upon they can't just be swimming all their life because they have lungs not gills therefore they need land and ice. We can also do something to help the penguins survive by not releasing that many greenhouse gasses in to our atmosphere and the way we can all prevent that is buy maybe using a bike once in a while or conserve gas and by not using much gas can help a lot to our penguins.

The adventures of Henry the hedgehog.

It taught me the social issue of education and the subject is history. It gave me allot to learn about the history of Egypt and Rome.

Game i like best:

Henry the Hedgehog 

What does it do:

you can control a hedgehog and pass a level and at the same time you may answer questions but if you get it wrong you are going to have to repeat the level all over again.

How do you play it:
you can use the arrow keys to control the Hedgehog allowing you to move right, left,down and up and there is a additional button that makes the Hedgehog jump up high.

Gamer's solve scientific problems

How did gamers use the computer gameFoldit to solve the protein folding mystery? 
it showed them a model of the low protein problem and from there they can figure out whats the problem and how can they fix it.
Who can participate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit? 
we can participate in this by creating our own models and figuring out how to cure the situation.
What can critical thinking do for science? 
critical thinking can allow you to find an answer without having allot of resources and it can give u a new skill and can help you allot in life.
If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be? 
I would solve the cure for cancer and how to prevent it from spreading. I would create a game showing people what they can do to prevent any of this disease get them.
