Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near surface air and oceans since the mid 20th century and it's projected continuation.
Global warming is caused by several causes such as pollution from factories, carbon dioxide from rotting trees, the burning of coal, natural gasses and fossil fuels lead to methane travelling into the Earth's atmosphere any transportation vehicles, water vapour, and many other little things, which contribute to make global warming even worse.Global Warming is when the Earth heats up (the temperature rises).It happens when greenhouse gases,carbon dioxide,water vapor,nitrous oxide,and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere,which increases the temperature.This hurts to us,plants,and animals.Since they can't stand it very much they die.I think that it will affect us by the weather and the Earth's natural resources. Climate refers to the overall weather of a location over a long period of time. Climate and climate change is determined by many things including distance from the equator, closeness to an ocean or major body of water, and geographical conditions such as mountains, plains and forests.The Earth’s climate is influenced by many factors, mainly by the amount of energy coming from the sun, but also by factors such as the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the properties of the Earth’s surface, which determine how much of this solar energy is retained or reflected back to space.I think that it will affect us by the increasing of temperature.Smog hanging over cities is the most familiar and obvious form of air pollution. But there are different kinds of pollution—some visible, some invisible—that contribute to global warming. Generally any substance that people introduce into the atmosphere that has damaging effects on living things and the environment is considered air pollution.I think that Air pollution is bad for the other living things because Air Pollution is harmful to the other things because they might die like for example smog.Smog is bad for them to breathe.The most important fact about Air Pollution that causes it is man-made.It will affect us by the causing of respiratory lungs and it might even be bad for animals and plants too.They like use petroleum and burn the fossil fuels,and make buildings,and use a lot of gasoline.Ground Pollution is a type of pollution which occurs when groundwater is contaminated.Construction site work and repair maintenance have become pollution activities.It can affect the Earth by the animals because animals that live under it may die because they have putted a lot of trash in it.Water Conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning.The way we can conserve water is by turning the water off when brushing our teeth,when we take a bath to not waste it at least you have to be in there like for 5 minutes.There are many ways to conserve water,but I think that those are the most important facts about conserving water.I don't think that water conservation affect us because we are conserving it and that is good because we are getting to the point where we can make a diference.I think that it is good to be educated in these topics because I think that it is warning us about that we have to take care of it and if we pollute the world I think that it will vanish if we don't take care of it.The topic that I liked the most is Water Conservation because it talks about the ways that we can conserve it and how we can protect it.The things that we can make to make a difference is by not polluting it,and to not use many natural resources because some of them are water,trees,and the airm,so together we can make a difference if we save our Earth!

Flash

I think that Flash was pretty easy because it was really fun,but the hard thing was about the timeline and the properties tab.I think that was the hardest thing.The way I feel about Flash is that I think I'm learning more of it and I'm getting better to know it.I think that we all did a good job with it because we tried our best of answering Ms.Miller's questions,and that makes our minds get an idea if we have memorized the steps and what do we need to do in each kind of demo.We have learned so much of it that I think that the only thing that we have left is to get through it and finish it for once because we have other team pages to finish and we want our game to be perfect.It's also based by Flash because our game needs sound,animation,and navigation and all those different kinds of things that we can add to.We can do better if we can practice it more than usual,but since Ms.Miller has not comed to school,it's really hard for us to get into the idea on what to do next and that will make us forget what we have done.The thing that I'm real comfortable with,is the navigation because that's the easiest thing with Flash I think that if we tried to talk less,Ms.Miller would not be that mad with us,so I think that we have to act mature for our game to be spectacular!That's what I feel about Flash.

Adding Navigation

This topic was about adding navigation and it consisted of 2 things:adding screens,and putting stops in.I really had a fun time with it because I had learned of it last time so I think it was really easy for me because I had memorized the steps and how to do them.Since I did learn much of it I think that we all did great with it because everybody was like getting into the point where we had memorized them not perfect,but some of us were really getting it.It was really easy for me since I did it right the first time.I think that we had done much better with it because the last time we didn't know nothing much of it and that made us be not focused because of the talking and stuff,but know that we are learning much of it and we are mature enough and we are about to be seventh graders,we are learning more stuff that we didn't know in other schools,so now that we have a big opportunity to improve our grades,we are more likely to pass to seventh grade.I want to learn about the video of adding the motion and the sound to our game because that will make our game be more creative and that will improve our grade when we had finished with our game and that will be like when we had putted all the information and the details together and that will make our game be super great!Actually I just wanted the sound one because we have not yet discussed good about what sound we will add,so I think that Sound will be good to our game and into our grade.When we have done all those stuff to our game,that's when we will have ur game completed and for the others to play it.Here is a video on how to do the Sound.Even though we haven't done a good job on discussing it together,we have done much better on be more focused and not to talk too much like before,since I'm the Team Captain.

How Do I Feel About Flash

The way I feel about Flash is that I'm getting better at it now that we go there often.I don't think that Flash is hard because we have learned so many things from it,so I don't really think that it has become harder.I don't really think that it would help me with it because Ms.Miller usually explains it better than a piece of paper,I think that explaining it will help me and my team get through our game scenes that we are creating.Anyways,I do really like when they explain it because they explain it in a different way that makes my team and me understand better than just following the paper around,I think that explaining it to us,will make our game scenes be cool when our game is created.When you sometimes have trouble with the paper and you totally don't know how to do it because it doesn't have enough details,I tell others to help me understand this things that is so complicated it for me to understand it,so I really think that explaining it to me and to my team,will make a big difference because that will make our scenes successful!I really think that before we get into the cool stuff,I have to practice Flash more because what if I forget something important,and the teacher tell us to do it by ourselves and basically I think that the timeline is what throws me off because you have to 6 it and all that stuff when you do all those layers,but it's really easy when you pay attention and listen to the teacher instead of talking,and that might even help you in the future!I really think that before I do the fun part of our game,I think that I need to practice even more with Flash!I think that me and my team will make a successfully game if we do listen to Flash and if we stay focused every time,so I do believe in my team that we will make a big game,since it is about Teen Pregnancy.I hope to learn more about Flash for our game scenes to work for our game that we will plan!
