What would happen if all humans disappeared?

Here are some things I think about that:

If all humans disappeared, and animals survived the disasters, then maybe animals would be at the top of the food chain. They might be like humans. But, there is something about that that might not work. Not all animals can just survive on plants. Predators eat meat. If predators have all the acesses to meat they want, like bunnies or, deer. So, in the end, maybe only predators would survive, and they can eat each other

Will This Palm Oil Alternative Save Orangutans From Extinction?

By Kim Bussing on February 17, 2016 

 

This is a picture of an orangutan… But it won’t be like that for long.  

This orangutan’s habitat is being destroyed. This is happening because people are cutting down the trees the Orangutans live in for palm oil. Orangutans are becoming extinct. This rule would be everything is connected. When you cut down a tree you are not only cutting down a tree, but you are destroying a habitat for an animal. This is not an example of following the rules. My suggestion is finding an Alternative. And there is an alternative. It is: a yeast that grows on leaves, fruits, and flowers. The yeast eats the sugars from the biomass and turns it into a thick oil that has almost identical qualities to palm oil. A team of researchers from England’s University of Bath and University of York figured this out.

Hello! In class we were learning about the debate. So, we went outside and did exit polling. We asked people questions about their vote. Some people were nice. Some people were rude. I really liked being a poller because I like talking to people and it was very fun seeing the different votes people had. Some people would just walk away from us. That was pretty frustrating. But overall, I had a great time exit polling!

To me, “Everything is Connected” means we all need everything, and take care of everything to survive. Everything is connected in the sense that plants, animals etc give us things that we need to survive. They have things that help us and we have things that help them. An example is plants NEED Co2 and they produce Oxygen and humans need to breath Oxygen and humans breath out Co2.

In art this year we made Ushabtis. Those are worker dolls that we put in tombs. They would come alive and work in the afterlife. I made a blue one. It had Hieroglyphics painted on.

In art, we made Canopic Jars. Canopic Jars were what Egyptians used during the mummification process. When they took the organs out of the person, they put it in they Canopic jar. I made one that looked like a Jackal.

For the Egyptian tomb we made paintings of Egypt. We could choose a drawing that was already made and copy it. We would hang them up in the tomb. I drew a warrior with a tiger. One thing that I liked about my painting was the warrior I drew. One thing I did not like about my painting is that the tiger that I drew looked like a kitty cat.

Hello Everyone! Today in Science we did a simulation. We had three starting populations. We needed them to grow over time. The sharks had to eat two minnows, the minnows had to eat one seaweed, and the seaweed does not have to eat anything, but they have a very likely chance of getting eaten, because they can’t move. Here is how it turned out:

 

In the first round, there was a shark. And, as you can see, it did not survive. The minnows did OK. And the seaweed did not do so well. It went from 14 to 6 to o, and the sharks, minnows, and seaweed all died in the end. There you have it!
