🦈Sharks🦈(Part B) Basking Sharks, And Whale Sharks

  • Basking sharks and Whale sharks are filter feeders. This means that they move through the water, and it goes through the mouth, and the plankton (Which they eat) gets caught by a filter, before the water exits through the gills. (More on the way fish eat here.)
  • These sharks are the biggest fish in the world.
  • The Wale shark isn’t really a whale. It is a shark, the biggest in the world, followed by the Basking Shark.

History Lesson #55

The Inventions I learned about this week

Universities

Universities’ impact on history was that it was helpful to teach people. But now do to inflation, it is not as good a help as no collage. It was funded buy the church and the students had full control over who taught them. They could FIRE any teacher.

🍷 Wine Press 🍷

The wine press was a labor saving device that helped make wine. It reduced the suffocation compared to the old way to make wine (stomping on the grapes with your feet).

Ribbed Vault

The Ribbed vault was used in the Gothic style of architecture, which was very complex indeed. There were two main ways to hold up a building; The ribbed vault and the Greek style of pillars.

Chimney

Chimneys have had a GIANT impact on history, and , more importantly, house design. It allowed the house to be warm, and also led to The Kitchen (DUN, DUN, DUN!). It also led to plaster on the walls, to other wall covering such as wood paneling.

Bible Verses That I Tell Myself When I’m Scared

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; Be not frighted neither dismayed; For the Lord your God is with you where ever you go.“

(Joshua 1:9)

“Behold, God is my salvation I will trust, and will not be afraid. for the Lord God is my strength and he has become my salvation.”

(Isaiah 12:2)

“Then fear not, O Jacob my servant, says the Lord, nor be dismayed O Israel; for lo, I will save you from afar and your off spring from the land of their captivity. Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with you to save you, says the Lord; I will make you a full end of all the nations among whom I scattered you, but of you I will not make a full end. I will chasten you in just measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished.”

(Jeremiah 30:10-11)

“The Lord is my light and salivation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is my the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?“

(Psalms 27:1)

All of these are similar to the thing I Tell Myself When I’m Scared: “The Lord God is with me; I need not be afraid.” Take these words from above from Joshua 1:9 to compare with what I made up: “Be not frighted neither dismayed; For the Lord your God is with you where ever you go.”

History Lesson #50

Names of the people I learned about from lessons 46-49

All of the people we are talking about wrote books and were authors. Al-Kindi, Al-Khwarizmi, and Al-Razi all went to Baghdad for school.

Al-Kindi

Al-kindi was a person that helped spread the Arabic numeral system. He was a teacher at the house of wisdom in Baghdad. Al-Kindi invented code breaking techniques.

Al-Khwarizmi

Al-Khwarizmi was the father of algebra. He was a great mathematician. His books on math helped European schools to be able to teach more.

Al-Razi

Al-Razi did medicine and was a doctor. Al-Razi discovered smallpox, and was very kind to the poor and wrote an at-home guide called “a medical adviser for the general public“

Al-hazen

Al-hazen studied optics, which is the study of eyesight. Al-hazen wrote a lot of books that told about optics.

All of the Islamic people had many advances in life such as optics and medicine.

Info on fish eating

🐟 How fish eat🐠

Fish have a vacuum-like system that pulls the food into the mouth, so the fish doesn’t have to propel itself forward. It sucks the food in and, get this, the jaws launch forward out of the mouth! The way the vacuum-like system woks pulls water through the mouth and out the gills, pulling the fish with it. It literally sends part of the mouth out.

Extra:

🐠 What fish eat🐟

Fish eat a number of different things depending on species; Sharks eat other fish, whereas some fish eat plants, usually smaller fish.

Woodpeckers

Acorn Woodpeckers

You are most likely to see an Acorn Woodpecker if you hear a “Whacka-Whacka-Whacka Whack” sound or see a tree with a bunch of holes in a tree, an acorn stuck into each one. Acorn Woodpeckers are black, with a red “crown”. Around the beak is a black circle. There is a pattern like this one on the face:

Created with Microsoft Fresh Paint

It’s mostly black with a white belly an black speckled belly.

Red headed Woodpeckers

Some content from another blog post I made: Red-headed Woodpeckers are common in all seasons in the southern half of Indiana, and in the northern half of Indiana, common during breeding time.

Some new content: Red headed Woodpeckers have a bright red head (as you may imagine), and a white belly. the back is black, up to a little bit before the tail feathers, where it is white, even though the tail feathers are black.

Pale Billed Woodpeckers

Pale Billed Woodpeckers have a red head, a pale beak, and a pale white stripe down the neck and into the wing, making two pale white stripes down the wings. Most of the wing is black, except for the pale white stripe.

Pileated Woodpeckers

Pileated Woodpecker have a complex face pattern: A red crown; White, thin supercilium; Thick black eye-line; Pale white auriculars; Red malar. (If you have any trouble with these words, look at this episode of inside birding.) The rest of the body is black, with a little white on the wings.
