Giant earthworm

Giant earthworm 


The giant  earthworm, Megalopolises Australia, is one of Australia's 1,000 native earthworm species. It is also commonly known as karma, taken from the Bungler language.  Giant earthworms average 1 metre long and 2 centimetres. They weigh on average 300 grams 


They live in the blue, grey or red clay soils along stream banks and some south- or west-facing hills of their remaining habitat which is in Victoria, Australia. These worms live in deep burrow systems and require water in their environment to respire.
Unlike most earthworms which deposit castings on the surface, they spend almost all their time in burrows about 52 centimetres (20 in) in depth and deposit their castings there and can generally only be flushed out by heavy rain. They are usually very sluggish, but when they move rapidly through their underground burrows, it can cause an audible gurgling or sucking sound which allows them to be detected.

 Giant earthworm colonies are small and isolated and the species' low reproductive rates and slow maturation make those small populations vulnerable. Their natural habitats are grasslands, and while they can survive beneath pastures, cultivation, heavy cattle grazing and effluent run-off are adversarial to the species. The Giant earthworm requires moist loamy soil to thrive; dense tree planting negatively affects soil humidity, which in turn negatively affects the species' habitat. No successful breeding has yet been achieved in captivity.

Video games do not cause violent behaviour

I think video games do not cause violent behaviour. There is no scientific or research supporting the idea that playing video games even bloody, realistic shooters leads to real-life acts of brutality.

I think that games improve people reflex speeds and adaptations speeds and skills. I believe that violence is not something that you can pick up your be teched, but it is something we are born with and learn to control over time. Gaming may cause you to rage sometimes but it doesn't make you violent if anything gaming helps you control the way we respond to things like dying in your game you're losing your game data.

Evidence shows that video gaming can affect the brain and can cause changes in many parts of the brain. Game addicts have functional and structural changes in the neural reward system. For example, video game use is known to affect attention

Young people react differently to violence and may become violent due to their young minds that are not fully developed. This is why games have age restrictions. Young gamers may develop violent behaviour later in life due to the lack of social interaction.

Keeping cows cool

Keeping cow cool
The last two weeks I and my few of my mates have been working on a solution for keeping cow cool 

Dairy cows feel hot much sooner than we do because digesting grass and making milk crates a lot of heat when it’s above 23c and 80% humidity they can't lose that heat fast enough so they start to eat less and make less to stay a bot cooler. With so many/ cow so little trees it is tricky for farmers to keep all
their cows cool enough so that feed intake and milk production isn't reduced.

    
Here the outcome

Reflection 
I learned that eating grass in hard 
I like the new learning experience
But next time we could be more ready to present our work 

Q
How many Liters of milk does a cow produce per day?

Did I enjoy making this
No, because it took lots of attempts to make. But I did enjoy the new learning tasks 

Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam  


The Hoover Dam, which was built on the Colorado river, holds in the largest reservoir in the united states, Lake Mead. Not only does the hoover dam provide water, but it's turbines also generate electricity

 They were given 7 years to fished it but it only took them 5 years to build it. 
It stands 221 meters tall 

The Hoover Dam was finished in five years, two years ahead of schedule and cost $49 million, which is worth $750 million today.
