Breathe, breathe, BREATHE! or you'll die.

 

How do lungs work?

 Breathing is essential to life. We automatically breathe about 20,000 times a day. To survive we need our lungs to constantly work each day.expanding to absorb oxygen from the air, to then contract and release carbon dioxide. 

 The moment you take oxygen from the earth's atmosphere millions of small pockets called alveoli absorb it and scatter it throughout the sponge-like surface area of the lung. Oxygen is absorbed through the alveoli and then sent all over the body. These small pockets have a huge exterior, which allows an enormous amount of oxygen to be absorbed. 

 Once you breathe in, expel harmful carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a waste product so we do not need it. It is created in the process of energy making that goes on inside your body. Exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide is an endless cycle of plants and animals. The process is called respiration. 

 Conclusion

Breathe, breathe, BREATHE! Because if you don’t the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood will rise and you’ll die.we do have enough oxygen in our body to keep us going. As stated, we breathe about 20,000 times a day and lungs are essential to our health.

Information report on Spinosaurus 

 

Spinosaurus was the largest carnivorous dinosaur of all time. It had an enormous sail on its back growing to about 2 metres tall, a long neck, skull and tail. Spinosaurus grew to 15 to 18 metres and could weigh up to 11 tons. Its arms were as long as its legs for it was a quadruped and it wielded three claws. The claw on the first digit of the finger could grow up to nine inches perfect for pinning down huge fish like Onchopristis (on-ko-pris-tis). Spinosauruses snout was elongated and held 50 needle like teeth and were great at snapping up fish. It had a crest above its eyes and its nostrils were put high up on its snout so it wouldn’t drown when hunting. It was semi-aquatic which meant it lived on land and water. A Spinosauruses tail was very strong and helped the dinosaur swim. The reason they gave Spinosaurus this name was because the sail on its back was actually nine huge spines covered in flesh and skin rising from its back.

 Spinosaurus lived in North Africa, mostly Egypt. In the time we live in right now north Africa is a barren desert wasteland, but around 120 million to 70 million years ago north Africa was a lush green paradise full of rivers, lakes and swamps. Since Spinosaurus was semi-aquatic, it lived very close to bodies of water and overall had a very wet life. The reason for its extinction was because of a huge meteorite. You may have already heard about the PE extinction event already but if you don’t know the PE extinction event is something caused by a huge meteorite that killed 95% of all living things on earth.

 The Spinosaurus lived around 112 million years ago to 72.2 million years ago. This was in the cretaceous era, the time when the most well known dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops roamed the earth.

 Spinosaurus had almost no dangers at all because it was the largest and most dangerous dinosaur where he lived. The only dangers Spinosaurus had were this other dinosaur named Carcharodontosaurus who was very close to the size of Spinosaurus and just as ferocious. We know this because we have evidence of fights between the two monsters. Another danger for Spinosaurus is drought. Since it was Africa, of course the sun was really strong so sometimes the rivers dried up destroying their food supply and dehydrating them to the point of killing the animal. Also giant meteor rights.

 Spinosaurus didn't have a huge food variety. Like seriously it ate only fish. The kinds of fish it ate were Coelacanth and Onchopristis. Coelacanth was a large fish with seven fins and can grow to the size of a 7 year old boy, pretty much a piece of candy for Spinosaurus. It waited 52 kgs. Was black and had specks of white on its body. Onchrapristis was a huge Sawfish that grew to about 8 meters and weighed 700 KGS! There were also some dinosaurus spinosaurus ate like the duck billed Ouranosaurus which also had a sail like Spinosaurus. 

 Fun fact: Spinosaurus was the starring antagonist dinosaur in the movie Jurassic park ///, one of my favorite movies of all time. But a lot of people think otherwise.

For reading first we did quiz on an animal and I chose frog. We then did a Venn diagram on the differences between two animals and I chose frog and toad. The reason I chose these animals were because they're cool and disgust girls. Hope you enjoy and leave a comment.
