The Sun
The sun gives off uv and uvc rays.Uvb rays get on your skin and tans you.You may get cancer,burned,or get wrinkles.Sunlight also destroys your reserves of folic acid, also known as folate or vitamin B9.Uv radiation destroys your skin and prevents you to repair the damadge.Radicals can cause cancer by altering our DNA and preventing our body from repairing it.It can also thin the walls of your skin causing it to bruise and bleed.You have more Uv exposure in the snow.That is just very amazing.Protect your skin with sunblock and protect your eyes with sunglasses.

Natural Disasters
Natural disasters like tropicalstorms,hurricanes,tornados,cylones,hailstorms,typoons,thunderstorms,tidal waves,monsoons,anticyclones are very,very dangerous.Tropical storms gets its fuel at the ocean.If the winds are 74miles per hour it is now classified as a hurricane.Hurricanes are so dangerous they can cause flooding,destroy buildings,kill animals,and kill people.Tornados happen from a funnel cloud spinning from left to right.The funnel cloud then tilts to an upward position.Then a tornado is formed.Tornados are very common in Central United States.Let me tell you why.Thousands of tornados happen.Typhoons and cyclones are another name for a hurricane.Typhoons,cyclones,and hurricanes all go counter clockwise.Anticyclones go clockwise unlike cyclones.Monssons happen when the land is dry and their are cold winds.Common in South and Southern Asia.It happens at the summer.The people in South and Southeastern Asia depend on this water.Thunderstorms might happen before a tornado comes.Thunder storms happen when warm air travels up and down from the cloud to the ground.Soon the warm winds go downward and cause lightning.Hailstorms bring down hail which cause severe damadge.It can destroy cars that are parked.It may cut service lines.It could also kill people and animals.

Clouds
Clouds can form differently because of temperature and air pressure.Low altitude clouds are called stratus clouds and are usually seen throughout the sky.The bottom of clouds usually are below zero degrees because the sun can not reach it.Lenticular clouds happen when wind moves upward because of the mountain.Clouds are made of water vapor.First water evaporates.Then it condenses to a cloud.Finally precipitation brings down the water droplets to the ground.Condensation can form dew or frost.Clouds can bring down sleet,rain,freezing rain,hail,and snow.Snow happens when the cloud to the ground is below zero degrees.Sleet is frozen before it hits the ground.Freezing rain happens when the objects on the ground are very cold.When the rain hits the ground it freezes.Hail happens when winds blow upward and carry hail.Soon enough the upward winds can not carry the hail so the hail comes down.Rain happens when it is a very warm climate from sky to ground.

Elements
Elements are the building blocks of matter.They can not be broken down into smaller pieces.Only a few elements,such as, exist in nature in pure form.More than 98 percent of the materials in Earth's crust is made up of only eight elements Oxygen,silicon,aluminum,iron,calcium,pottasium,and magnesium.
Carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,and nitrogen make up 96 percent of the mass of the human body.Physical properties means to measure without changing the material.
Chemical properties tell how it forms a new substance when it forms with something else for example copper+zinc=brass.
What is the best metal conducter?Copper
What is water made of?It is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
What is the sign for water?H2O
How do you separate salt from water?You can evaporate the water or use the filter to get the salt away.

Science Project
I have a science project due at the end of the trimester.I am going to see which kind of fabric. is more absorbent with different fluids or liquids like Gatorade,Sprite, and Mountain Dew.Oh yeah it is also a science fair if you have the best science experiment you will get a medal that is worth only about $00.10.I will tell you if I win first or not but I probably will not win because there is a bunch of people who will be so desprate they might be better.
