Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

hey hey hey!!
I found dome really cool pictures of plants at my house and one of them is actually a good example of phototropism! ( at first me and my sister thought that my cat broke it but then we were realized that the roots were still deep in the soil)
I can't name most of them except one of them is a jasmine also known as a raat ki rani which means queen of the night. it's called that because it blooms at night! it's most common name is in hindi because it's prominent is south asia and it's berries are poisonous!!!!

I'm not sure what plant this is

same with this one but it's pretty awesome

this is the example of phototropism! notice how since the blinds are semi up its growing up and to the side to get light energy. you can't see the second window too well but the start of where the blinds finish is just cut off.

Jasmine or "raat ki rani" i haven't seen this one bloom in a really long time but it usually blooms in the summer and it makes the whole room smell amazing!!!

this is what the flower looks like. I honestly was not aware of the words at the bottom but they made me lol just a little bit :)

It's Snowmageddon! A Blizzaster!, The Snowpolalypse!

Hey everyone! Hope you are enjoying your day off! If you are reading this, post something about your snow day!  Maybe a picture of the snow?  So, just a friendly reminder that it would be WONDERFUL if you keep on track with the homework on moodle.. you will not be penalized if you don't, however, your weekend will be bogged down with homework if you don't!  Why am I asking you to do this?

1.  The test is STILL planned for next week (last I hear, still Weds.... but now that tomorrow is cancelled to, not sure if that will be)
2.  The test will STILL cover the same information
3.  You're gonna have to do it anyway!
4.  You'll have less to do over the weekend!

That is my CAR behind Max!!!

Be safe everyone!  See you soon!

Video Thoughts?

Did anyone have any thoughts about Friday's film?  I have seen that film many times now, and everytime I watch it I always really admire those 'disease warriors' who worked so tirelessly to bring vaccines to remote parts of the world.  I feel that so many people are only concerned with themselves... to travel to places like India and Africa to try and rid the world of such horrible diseases really says something about those volunteers..  They really made a difference in the world... not everyone can say they have done so.  How amazing would it be to be able to rid the world of HIV like they did with smallpox? What were your thoughts?  Reply to my post with a comment as to what your thoughts or reflections were on the movie.
