Interesting Things I've Learned

     I have learned many interesting things this year. I have learned that palm trees are tropical conifers. Another fact I learned is that trees actually have their own groups. Also, I have learned that those two groups are broad leaf, and conifer. I reviewed that pine trees are evergreens and oaks are deciduous. Another interesting thing I learned is: Without mucus your stomach would digest itself.
     Have you heard of the baobab tree? I think it's awesome! I learned about it this year. It served as a county jail for a while in Africa. It stores water, you can live in it once it matures because it hollows itself out, it has edible fruit, and you can make rope from its bark. Isn't it amazing? This is a great site, check it out....

The Ziggurat

 This is my ziggurat. It's a flattened looking pyramid with steps. I built it for history class. Ziggurats were used by the Sumarians (Sue-mare-ee-uns), in 2300 B.C. They were used for woshiping idols. The idols were used to help them understand life. I built mine out of legos. (I didnt have sun dried clay bricks)    : )
