Genomics

 The Mysterious Origin of Life on Earth



Capture critical information and record it here

Billions of years ago.

A simple organic compounds that form into a complex one.

They can manage to reproduce.


Its was the very first life on earth

It has helped many species that are alive on earth today.

The Earth was very suitable for the species that lived before us.



These elements are essential to our life

• Hydrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

• Methane

• Nitrogen

• Phosphate

• Ammonia


These elements react with each other so they need liquid Salphant / Water / H20. 


But these elements also need a massive source of energy.

AUTOTROPH & HETEROTROPH.



AUTOTROPH - Makes it own energy to survive



HETEROTROPH - Eats other living organisms to gain energy.

Places on land and surfaces close to the ocean have the advantage of the sunlight.

There are hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean that are kilometres under the water

A hydrothermal vent is a hole in the ground where the water is able to go inside, where there are chambers of magma.

Then it bursts out in hot water with minerals and chemicals.

L - last

 

U - universal

 

C - common

 

A - ancestor

Scientists found genes, that are usually found in species.

LUCA lived in a hot oxygen-free place. 

There are 2 kinds of hydrothermal vents black smokers and white smokers. Each of them gives different traits.

The top choice for the cradle of life is white smokers because black smokers were too hot for LUCA.

It is strongly full of Alkaline and is lacking Carbon Dioxide.

The black smokers had help with the carbon dioxide, that gave life to species on the lost city.

The life on earth may have been given components to support the first organisms. That has evolved into life on Earth today.

LOCKDOWN No.2


Wild Boy

This slide helpt me to think about myself and my family, but what we are good at that we haven't realised. The man in the text found something that I thought wouldn't be possible. I found inspiration and have felt differently dreaming about what I could find out when I try something new.



Also here is a video of a teacher who changed a boys life, I felt like I could understand the emotion the man was having while telling his story.

The Cat And The King

  Book Review

Title: The King and the cat Author: Nick Sharrat                                                Date:7.8.20


This book is about a king and a cat whose kingdom has just burned down, so they are trying to live a normal life in number 37 Castle Close road. They wish everything could go back to the ways it used to be but as the story carried along, the king started to enjoy living an unroyal life.




What 3 things did you like about the book?

Explain why

  1. I like how the cat was able to write like and act like an actual human

  2. The author was very creative with how he wrote this story

  3. I can relate to how the king felt when he missed his kingdom. I always miss the places I used to live in.

What 3 things didn’t you like about the book? Explain why.


THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT THE BOOK I DIDN’T LIKE!!!


What is your favourite part?

My favourite part was when the 

Cat and the King tricked their neighbours

Into thinking, they were going to eat 

A real pork head, a swan and blackbird pie.

But in the end, they find out its only cake.

The Cat and the King – Marsden Books

Who would you recommend the book to and why?

I would recommend this book to people who have just moved into a new town, country or school. I have experienced how it feels like but now I have overcome that fear.

Aim:- To Make Elephant Toothpaste 

Equipment:- Hydrogen Peroxide / H 020   | Food Color | Dish Washing Liquid, Dry Yeast, Hot & Cold Water.

Method:-
  1. Add Hot Water Clear Cup
  2. Add 2 Tablespoons of Yeast
  3. Mix It Well
  4. Inside a water bottle fill it with Hydrogen Peroxide & Dish Washing Liquid
  5. Put Water Bottle into a tray
  6. Pour Both liquids into the bottle
  7. WATCH AS THE TOOTHPASTE EMERGES FROM THE BOTTLE!!!!

Result / Outcome:-
The Outcome was that the toothpaste burst out of the bottle and spread all over the tray.

Spanish

I learned how to start a conversation in Spanish.
I have created a Google slide with the words in Spanish I have learnt, maybe you could try them to your friends sometimes.
