Author: Helen ChavezWhat happened to all those sunken ships that mysteriously sank and have been missing for years and years, not showing up since? Where did they go? This is still a mystery to all of the scientists who are trying to find out what happened to all these sunken ships which took place in the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle has "Bermuda" in its name because it is located in Bermuda; and "Triangle" is from it being shaped like a triangle. Its points are located in Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Some people believe that extra-terrestrials captured these ships to learn more about humans, or other dimensions like Atlantis. When it comes to the weather in the Bermuda Triangle, there are many storms and hurricanes. Since the Gulf Stream is near the Bermuda Triangle, this causes harsh and violent weather. There are many islands in the Caribbean Sea, which is one of the main reasons there is shallow water. In addition, the islands made it hard for ships to sail at sea. Some hypotheses have shown that the Bermuda Triangle has a magnetic compass that points to “true” north rather than “magnetic” north. Author: Alessandra GarciaA chicken is a bird. A chicken egg develops at 88 degrees and hatches at 105 degrees. As chickens grow, they lay large eggs. They don't lay as much when they are young. A hen has to eat four pounds of feed in order to lay a dozen eggs. Chicken bodies contain 15% more water than humans have in their bodies.
People often wonder if the chicken or the egg came first. The egg actually came first. Eggs are found throughout the animal kingdom. What came to be of the first chicken? The first chicken had to be made from a genetic mutation. This means that two proto-chickens mated, and their DNA were combined, forming the modern-day chicken. The two species that mated were the Red Jungle Fowl. The Red Jungle Fowl are native to South-eastern Asian countries. This includes countries like India, Southern China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. This statement proves that the egg came first and that the chicken was born from two other species. The egg came before the chicken because the modern-day chicken had to lay it. Author: Luke E. AlgerYou guys may think, “Awwww… what a cute animal!” Sometimes those cute animals can actually kill you.

You should stay away from these and some other animals because they can destroy you. Don't get charmed by these beautiful creatures.
Author: Kaeden SpringerChemicals can be good or bad, like poisons and gases. However, out of all the bad ones, what are very dangerous chemical to humans, or even more so, what is the most dangerous? Well, I have an answer for you! And now, I present to you, the most dangerous chemical to humans!
This is Batrachotoxin, also known as BTX. What is this chemical? Batrachotoxin is a poison that is an extremely potent cardiotoxic and neurotoxic steroidal alkaloid. It affects your heart and your brain and is found in specific species of birds, beetles and frogs. Batrachotoxin is the Greek word βάτραχος, or bátrachos, meaning frog. Many other chemicals can be found in Batrachotoxin. If you want to know how to make it or what its chemical formula is, or how toxic it is, I have the answer for you, along with some other facts. The formula for making it is C31H42N2O6 , and it is highly toxic...very toxic. Chemicals also have an ID or, specifically, a ChemSpider ID, and its ID is 10310314. There are also other names you could call it other than Batrachotoxin and BTX. Here are some other names: 3α,9α-epoxy-14β,18-(2′-Oxyethyl-N-Methylamino)-5β-Pregna-7 and 4-Dimethylpyrrole-3-Carboxylate. Are there symptoms of BTX? Yes, there are. The symptoms include irreversible muscle paralysis caused by the block of the action potential in nerves and muscles. That is the only symptom we know of so far. How fast does it kill? If you find the right frog and you touch its skin, you are in trouble. The frog's skin glands contain Batrachotoxin, which is an alkaloid toxin, and if it enters your bloodstream, you will die in about 10 minutes. Below is what a Batrachotoxin molecule looks like.

If you don’t know what Koi are, they are a big fish that look like the picture to the left. Did you know that more than half of the world is water? People that study fish are called Marine Biologists. Some fish you can have as pets. If you didn’t know, I have fish as pets. The best kind of fish to get when you get some are Bettas because they don’t need a lot of care. The other fish to get when it is your first time are goldfish from a store.

Author: Isabela RichardsonYou probably wonder about what else is under the water that we haven't already seen or heard of before. Well, your question is about to be answered! Here are the top four scariest sea creatures: 1.Sarcastic Fringehead The Sarcastic Fringehead is a small but very hardy saltwater fish with a large mouth and has aggressive territorial behavior. It is because of this aggressive behavior that it was given this common name. 2.The Black Dragonfish (Idiacanthus Atlanticus) Idiacanthus atlanticus is a barbed dragonfish of the family Stomiidae. It is found circum-globally, in southern subtropical and temperate oceans between the latitudes of 25°S and 60°E. They live at depths of 2,000 meters. 3.Pelican Eel (Gulper Eel) The Pelican eel is a deep-sea fish rarely seen by humans, though it is occasionally caught in fishing nets. It is an eel-like fish and the only known member of the genus Eurypharynx and the family Eurypharyngidae. 4.Goblin Shark The Goblin shark is a rare species of deep-sea shark. Sometimes called a "living fossil", it is the only extant representative of the family Mitsukurinidae, a lineage of some 125 million years old. Author: Dominic RamosINTRODUCTION: There are many things on Earth and many myths and legends. Here are a few. Urayuli: Urayuli is a thing with long, lanky arms and shaggy hair. It is found in Alaska and they are supposedly peaceful, and will not harm you. Fresno Walkers: These are alien-like things that wander in the forest. They have legs, no arms and glowing eyes. They will come running at you and will try to knock you off cliffs. Bolt Rock Sliders: Ever caught a big fish? Well, this fish found in Alaska supposedly slides down mountains and will easily bump you into its mouth and swallow you. Beast of Busco: This beast is a giant snapping turtle, as big as some boats, and is always underwater. They will eat almost anything. Wendigo: The Wendigo is a creature with horns on its head and hides in the shadows of mountain forests. It is said to eat humans. Those are a few creatures that you probably didn’t know about! Author: Christina PortocarreroAbout a few days ago I watched a video in class about solar eclipses. I was already planning on doing my science blog about eclipses, so I decided to pay close attention and get some information from the video. First of all, some people don’t know what an eclipse is, so I will start off with explaining it, and then I will go into further detail. An eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun while still in perfect alignment with the Earth, and wherever the moon’s shadow lands, that’s what part of the world will be able to witness the eclipse.
There are 4 different types of solar eclipses. The first one is a total eclipse which is when the moon fully covers the sun. The second is an annular eclipse which is when the moon is slightly further away from the earth so it results in what looks like a ring of light. This ring is also known as the “Ring of Fire” around the moon. The moon can be further away because the earth’s orbit isn’t circular. Next, there is a partial eclipse, which is when the moon covers only part of the sun, so it looks like someone took a bite out of the sun. Last but definitely not least is the hybrid eclipse. A hybrid eclipse is when the eclipse changes appearance as the moon passes over the sun. Now that I’ve finished naming the different types of eclipses I am going to share a couple of facts that I find interesting. As I mentioned earlier, a total eclipse is when the moon completely covers the sun. Well, isn’t the sun a lot bigger than the moon? This is very much true; the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon, but the moon is 400 times closer to the Earth, resulting in the sun and the moon seeming equal from our viewpoint. I find this pretty crazy. The other fact I want to share is that there can be, at maximum, five solar eclipses a year! I think this is cool because this means that there can be a solar eclipse almost every 2 months! So, that was all the information about solar eclipses that I wanted to share. I hope that you have learned a few things about what exactly a solar eclipse is, the four types of eclipses, and interesting facts about them.
