Science Video of the Week!

Hello everyone,

Today I found this cool science channel on Youtube. The videos are done by Steve Spangler. (He's kind of like Bill Nye the Science Guy.) I'll post a video from the channel every week.

Here's video #1.

While cleaning out under the couch...

Me: Oh look I found the Latin Answer Key! 

My little sister: so it opens doors?

Me: No...

Challenge B Quote From Little Britches

“A man's character is like his house. If he tears boards off his house and burns them to keep himself warm and comfortable, his house soon becomes a ruin. If he tells lies to be able to do the things he shouldn't do but wants to, his character will soon become a ruin. A man with a ruined character is a shame on the face of the earth.”
― Ralph Moody, Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers

What if Earth Lost Oxygen for 5 Seconds?
