There was a little bug flying and it got trapped!

You guessed it!  Venus Fly Trap

Venus Fly Traps are amazing critter-eating plants.  They actually help spiders on their duty patrol.  And help with air patrol.  Every plant helps with air patrol but we're just talking about the Venus Fly Trap for now.  The only way that a bug can get snapped by the Venus Fly Trap is if it touches the soft jaws.  If something touches the soft jaws, including humans, it could die. 

Rosy Rose

Bristle Bristle Bristle Bristle
Thorn Thorn Thorn Thorn
You guessed it, the Rose!

The Rose is a flower with lots of prickles and points.  Roses can decompose as well as other flowers, bananas, and also trees.  All of those things can decompose and lots of other things too.  Roses are red and that's how I think the Rosy cheeks got their name.  Get it?  Rosy?






Next flower will be the Venus Flytrap

Flower Fun

Make a wish
Hold it tight
hhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa  hhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo 

You guessed it, Dandelion!  When the Dandelion flower dies that's the kind of flower that you make a wish off.  The Dandelion seeds fall off and in turn make new Dandelions.  The more wishes you make out of Dandelions the more Dandelions there will be. 




Next flower will be the Rose.

Final sense: the hearing

Sense number five.  Final Sense!

Here's the message about it:

Everything travels in waves.  Waves can bounce off of things and that's how echoes are made.  But if the sound-waves don't go into your ear then you don't hear them.  Sound waves travel in pitch.  High sounds are like bells and dog whistles.  Medium pitch sounds are the sounds of your voice.  Low pitch sounds are sounds like when you bang a drum, da dum dum ding!  But the only one of those that are low pitched is the second "dum."

To find more about the blog check in kind of an instant, there might be some new information.

Sugar is sweet but lemon is sour

Sense number four, taste. 

Your tongue is divided into six different parts, although there are four different tastes. The tip of your tongue tastes the sour stuff like lemon.  The sides of your tongue taste salty stuff like salt.  The back of your tongue controls the sweet and bitter: sweet on left side, bitter on right.  Sweet like sugar and for me buttermilk is better.  The middle of your tongue has no taste-buds.

The next flash website page thing-a-madoodle will be on the blog tomoooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrow. 

There's nothing funny about banging your funny bone

Touch? Touch?  Did anybody say anything about touch?  Oh that's right, touch is sense number three.

And here's the message:
Have you noticed when you bang your funny bone (which is your elbow in case you don't know) well anyway, if you bang it, have you noticed that the pain rides all the way up to your middle and ring fingers?  That's because of nerves.  Nerves take messages to the brain and throughout the body about all senses, sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell.

The next message will be online when I'm finished eating dinner.

The knack of what need to know about senses: the sequel

Smells which is sense number two.   Unlike sense number one, your brain doesn't mix smells.  It only mixes them if you try to get rid of bad smells by covering the bad smell up with other smells.  If astronauts are doing smell tests they actually get to smell clean diapers before going into space, which is just bizarre! 

The message about sense number three will be on the blog in a unconsidered half an hour.

The knack of what need to know about senses

There are 5 senses to the human body.  Sense number one is sight.  The second sense is smell.  The third sense is touch.  Sense number four, well that one is taste, like tasting ice cream (my favourite taste!).  Anyway, the fifth and final sense is hearing. 

Here's a message about sense number one: your brain doesn't see the exact colour of what everything is.  Your brain mixes colours by mixing three in different amounts sometimes.  Believe it or not the the three colours it mixes aren't yellow red and blue, they are green red and blue. 

The message about sense number two will be on the blog tomorrow.
