The Shipwreck Bob and his crew were sailing peacefully through the Bahamas, giving tours.After everyone was on board they set sail into deeper waters. They were heading into shark territory's, so no one was allowed to take a swim. At least not without a warning anyway. If they were going to sail they were going to sail FAST! They would maintain a speed of 120 mph at all times. If they did they could sail the Bahamas and back to where they started in 7 days. 2 days into the journey a child was swimming in the pool, while the parent was watching from the side making sure the child wasn't drowning. Suddenly the ship lurched to the side. They heard a Loud BOOM and suddenly felt the ship sinking. Children and women went on the #lifeboats, while the men started swimming to the nearest island. The #lifeboats picked up as many people as possible. Two were left behind. The #life boats would come back for them sooner or later. Until then the men had to survive on the island, all alone except for each other. Mark was immensely hungry. "Have you found some coconuts yet Bob?" "If I did why would I give YOU any?" Bob retorted. "Hmmmmm, maybe because we are on an island all alone, and you need my architectural intellect" Mark replied cunningly. "Fine here you go" Bob grumbled as he handed Mark half a coconut he had found. "Thank you" Mark said happily. Mark is a man in his 20's with red hair and freckles. He had brown eyes and brown skin. He was from America and worked as an architect. Bob is a man with black hair, glasses which he had managed to clutch on to during the shipwreck. He was a tough man, who looked like he had been in the military. He had blue eyes and white skin. Together they figured they could last a few days alone. Bob was the one searching for food and fresh water. So far he had hardly found anything. Mark was in charge of building them a hut, and getting a signal in case a plane came overhead. They hoped that a plane would be there soon, so they could get off the island. They needed to be prepared for anything,including a plane flying overhead. If they missed a single plane it could mean the difference between their #life and death! "Hey Bob, for the signal I'm going to make a fire. We can also use it for heat,scaring off animals,an" "I don't care just do it!" Yelled Bob, who was getting annoyed. He didn't care for facts, just results. "Ok ok, I'll do it, just stop yelling. I thought you might like to know what saved your #life, but if you don't that's not my problem" responded Mark sounding a bit hurt. Mark knew he needed 3 things to make a fire. Wood in small pieces, and 2 flint rocks. Knowing this he set out into a Forrest that they had seen, but not went in for fear of getting lost. "I'm going to get stuff to make a fire, if you care that I'm even going," yelled Mark as he walked towards the forest. "Alright, just don't come crying to me if you don't find anything!" Bob replied. When Mark arrived in the forest he looked around and saw lots of small game, like mice and squirrels,and redwoods as tall as skyscrapers, so tall that he couldn't see the top of them! He wandered around for a while just admiring the sheer beauty of it all. It was so much for him to take in at once and he didn't want to leave. The squirrels were running up and down the trees freely,and the trees looks so good that for a few seconds Mark forgot about being stranded and felt as if he was on a long vacation. The scenery was so relaxing. Mark had been up all night thinking about the shipwreck. Now all he wanted to do was sleep. "Wait a minute, the shipwreck!" He remembered what he had come to this beautiful forest to do. He needed to collect some wood and flint rock. He looked around and picked up a lot of twigs. "I can come back for the flint" Mark thought. He waked back to the campsite his arms aching from the load of flint he was carrying. "Might as well hum to keep up the good mood" Mark thought out loud. While he was walking back he didn't notice the small and silent plane flying overhead until it had already left. It was heading to the other side of the island. "Why didn't it pick me up?" Thought Mark. "Maybe they didn't see me" Mark realized. "I'll just have to go to them after I give Bob the rocks." He sped up his walk, eager to tell Bob the good news. "I'm back Bob!" Yelled Mark eagerly. "Did you find a way off the island?" Bob said sarcastically. "Actually I did!" Mark said triumphantly. "I saw a plane land on the other half of the island!" Mark explained. "What!?" Screamed Bob excitedly. "Let's go" said Mark. They ran to the woods so fast that if they were in a car it would almost hold them back. They entered and Bob gasped as he saw the Forrest. "It's amazing!"Bob said excitedly. "This should be a tourist spot!" "But then it would be overrun with hotels until it isn't nice anymore" Mark replied softly. They kept moving in the direction of the plane. As they got closer Mark started to notice less wild#life around. Suddenly they heard a loud"BANG!" from around where the plane was. It was the bang of a gunshot.

Sharks Did you know that sharks are carnivores? That means they eat meat. They have 5-7 gill slits which help them breathe. Their teeth can easily slice through flesh. The Mako Shark is the fastest shark. It can swim 60-90 miles per hour. Different species have different tail shapes. Sharks must swim constantly to keep them from sinking. They have a cartilage skeleton. It is made out of the same materials as your fingernails. Inside their mouths there is over 3,000 teeth. Their skin is as rough as sand paper. It may also have marbling spots or bands. It has sense pores on its nose.Sharks love to hunt already injured animals. They chow down on fish, crabs, lobsters, squid, eels and an octopus. They can detect sound waves. They can also sense electric and magnetic fields. They can smell one drop of blood in one million drops of water. They have very powerful jaws. Sharks can get into feeding frenzies and rip each other to pieces. They are very high in the food chain. Sharks can vomit anything from their stomach at will.Humans have killed 100 million sharks in one year. Shark skin is used as leather and their meat is sold, even though they are usually not harmful to humans. Shark attacks are pretty rare. The largest sharks are harmless. Interactions between sharks and humans are classified into three primary categories: Encounters, provoked , and unprovoked. Encounter: A shark encounter is a coming together of a shark and a human where neither gets hurt. The shark swims around the human and examines the human. Provoked: A provoked shark attack is when the human does something to annoy the shark and the shark fights back. Unprovoked: An unprovoked shark attack is when the shark attacks without the human having done anything.I bet you didn't know that the first sharks lived about 300 million years ago. The sharks here today appeared 100 million years ago. There are 375 different species of shark. Maybe even more!! Less than 30 species of shark are dangerous, so if you see one no harm will come to you unless you die of fright!! Most sharks live alone. The Whale shark is 50 feet long. Sharks all live in salt water.

Thomas Edison Introduction I chose to do Thomas Edison as my project because I want to be an inventor. I dream of having more inventions than he did. When I become famous it will be very fun. I will do well because I am excited and passionate about inventions and inventing. About Thomas Edison: Thomas Edison was born February 11,1847. He grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. He didn't start to talk till he was 4 years old, but when he did, he asked a LOT of questions. He was friends with Henry Ford and contributed to the automobile. Fun Facts One of Thomas Edison's most famous #quotes is: "If I find 10,000 ways something doesn't work I haven't failed. Every wrong try is a step forward." His mother home schooled him. His parents were Canadian but he considered himself of Dutch ancestry. Thomas Edison only had three months of schooling and no science training at all. He learned most things from books. He developed hearing problems from an early age. His first project was to improve the telegraph. He dropped acid on his bosses desk and once set his Dad's barn on fire. Twenty eight men were Edison pioneers. Thomas Edison did NOT make the first light bulb. He had more inventions than any inventor.Jobs Thomas Edison once had a job on a train. He sold candies and newspapers on the train. He started this job when he was twelve years old. He once saved a child from a train. The child's father gave him a job as a telegraph operator. This is how he learned the basics of electricity.Inventions Thomas Edison invented the carbon microphone and kinitoscope. He also invented the first vote recorder and phonograph. He also invented the light bulb which was his most famous invention. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1879. He also invented a stock ticker and over 1000 more things. In 1876, Edison opened his most famous laboratory in New Jersey. Over the next five years, he developed a telephone transmitter, and the first system of incandescent electric light and power. After moving to New York , Edison used the laboratories at his manufacturing shops to improve lighting technology. In 1887, he opened a new and larger laboratory in New Jersey. During the thirty-five years he worked at this laboratory, he invented the first successful motion picture camera, developed better phonograph and record technology, created a system for refining low-grade iron ore, invented an alkaline storage battery, and improved cement manufacturing technology. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Edison invented many of the things we use in our everyday lives, such as the light bulb, batteries, and the movie camera. I admire him because he never stopped trying even when he failed.
