today in class we started by talking about Mr. Schicks job as a movie producer. I learned that he worked on the movie home alone. I also learned about population pyramids. I learned that there are 3 types. the first type is the Christmas tree. it is of developing countries where there is more babies being born than old people and the population is increasing. the second is the box. this is in developed countries. it means that there is a constant number of babies as there is of older people. the last kind is the cup. it is of developed countries. it means that there is more old people than babies being born. so the population of the country is going down. this causes problems because there isn't enough people to do jobs because old people cant do a lot of jobs.

time

Today in class I learned and thought about many new things. In class we talked about time and how it is different all over the world and just across different states in the U.S. Also I learned what a circadian cycle is. It is the pattern of you waking up and going to sleep on a schedule based on the time it is. We also talked about Fleming who was wanted to have everyone have the same time all over the world in 1879. He wanted the clock to be at the center of the Earth. It would be a global 24hr clock and everyone would be on the same clock. Lastly around the 1900 all the time on Earth was in the form of standard time zone. No matter where you were you knew the zone and the time it was supposed to be. I learned a lot about time in class today.

situation

today in class we finished going over site. I learned that site characteristics are important. For example its important if there is mountains if you want to build a house because you will want the ground to be level if your building homes. Also I learned that people can change the site. For example you can fill a river with land and other things and make more land so you can build more things and develop new land. Lastly we learned that areas are being built on so much that they are flooding because there isn't enough grass and enough drainage for the water to go when it rains a lot or there is a hurricane. Next we learned about situation. Situation means the location of a place relative to other places. Situation helps us find an unfamiliar place by comparing its location with a familiar one. For example a lot of people have been to Florida and they know that it is really hot and then it rains for about an hour and then stops , but not a lot of people have been too Mississippi bu...
