=Wolves= =The website I used is __http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wolves/howl.html__= =What do wolves do? Wolves bark, woof, whine, whimper, yelp and growl. They also tend to snarl and moan a lot more than they howl. The wolves howl to keep the packs together. The howling has strengthen the social bonds between the other pack mates. The pack that howls together also stays together. The members of the packs are usually the lowest-ranking, they may be actually punished for joining in the chorus. Howling together might strengthen the social bonds. Wolves look everywhere to find food. The wolves get separated from each other. When wolves howl it is low pitch and long. When wolves howl it is suited for forest and across the tundra. The howling allows other packs of wolves to identify each other. When a wolf gets separate from its pack it will begin to howl. What is a lonesome howl? So when a wolf howls not only does the pack hear it but the other packs hear it howling but the other wolfs that are in the range of that wolf can hear it to. What is a pup howl? The pup howling comes from a three month old pup that has just heard an adult wolf howling near the den site. The howls are shorter in duration and higher in pitch. I might like to be a wolf but it would be kinda weird being a wolf. = =Rainforests = =The website I used is __http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/rainforest.htm__ = =What is a tropical rainforest?

The temperature in a rain forest does not get any higher than 93 degrees F or 34 degrees C. The temperature drops below 68 degrees F. There are four layers of trees in the tropical rainforest. In the plant life, a shrub/ sapling layer receives about three percent of the light that filters through the canopies. In the animal life, many species of animal life can be found in the rain forest. Where are the rain forest found? They can be found in Central America in the Amazon river basin. Another place is Africa, Zaire basin, with a small area in West Africa. I think it would be fun living in a rain forest type thing because you would get to see all the different types of animals.= =Bugs= =The website I used is http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/Urban/spiders.htm= =Spiders have three main body sections and six legs. Spiders also have two body sections and eight legs. The eyes, mouth parts and legs are found on the front section of the body of the spider, it is known as the cephalothorax. How dangerous are spiders? Most spiders produce venom there fore, spiders can be poisonous. Where is the venom stored? The venom is stored in the glands that empty into the spider's fangs. What are the two best known poisonous spiders? The two poisonous spiders are the black widow spider and the brown recluse. What are tips to avoid spider bites? Here are some tips always check for spiders before sticking your bare hands into dark corners or any area where you cannot see your finger tips. Another tip is always wear work gloves when handling boxes, firewood, lumber and other items that have been left in storage for significant periods of times. The last tip is shake your clothing and shoes that have been left untouched for some time and also inspect your clothes before wearing them. If you are ever bitten by a black widow spider or brown recluse carefully apply ice or a cold pack to the bite and seek medical assistance. Also take the spider along so the medical examiner can get the positive identification of the spider. I would not love being a bug because they could be poisonous.= =Sailing and Fishing= =The website i used is http://www.learninghowtofish.com/= =What are the fishing basics? Well any body that wants to go fishing is going to have to learn about hooks,sinkers,bobbers, and how to tie fishing knots, how to fish with live bait. What is fishing tackle? Fishing tackle is fishing rods and reels, fishing line and fishing lures. You will also need to learn about each species of fish and you will also need to expand your fishing knowledge. Some need to learn how to fish walleye, muskie, largemouth bass, small mouth bass, northern pike, crappie, perch, bluegill, and cat fish. You will need to have a lot of safety and first aid on the water while fishing. You will need it whether you are by shore or on a boat especially when fishing with small children. I think fishing is sometimes fun but it takes a lot of time.= =Immigration= =The website is used is http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=8d5e901bf9873210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=8d5e901bf9873210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD= =Thousands of people adopt children from over seas.

Two separate processes apply only to children adopted by U.S. citizens. Depending on what country you choose to adopt from will determine which process you will adopt by.Another process applies to a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident who may petition for his/her adoptive child through an Immediate Relative Petition. I do not think it would be fun in immigration because people try to sneak over to iowa from their town because they don't like the towns rules or just some of the people.= =How to Research= =The website i used is []= =When researching you will need a topic to research for. When researching you need to use specific words for that topic.That person will need to get an overview of that topic.

You can now right the body of your paper from the notes that you took. Now you can write the introduction and conclusion.Create a title page and then evaluate your work. Now you can turn in your paper. I love researching because you get smarter by looking up all the information and you also figure out how to do things on the internet.= =California Gold Rush= =The website i used is http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/californiagoldrush.htm= =What happened in January 1848? James Wilson Marshall discovered gold while constructing a saw mill along the American River northeast of present day Sacramento. I do not know much about the Gold Rush because I was not alive during the Gold Rush! How did people get the gold? The gold was found along the banks of the streams. They had to dig several feet deep before they found any gold. Clay pays the best out of dirt and clay. The clay is found down on the rock. The gold seekers traveled overland across the mountains to California or they took the round about's to the sea routes. How many buildings where in April 1847? In April 1847 there was seventy-nine buildings including shanties, frames houses and adobes.= =Blizzards= =The website i used is http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/wwatch/winter_storms/= =What are winter storms? Winter storms are a combination of heavy snow, freezing rain and high winds. When we get weather storms they normally close down airports and roads. They create power outages and telephone lines. Driving during winter storms can be tricky due to wet roads. Back in 2000 my mom was driving a blazer and we couldn't see the roads so basically we got into an accident on highway 30. My brother Trevor was just a baby. I had baby formula all over me. My other brother Patrick was ejected out the back of the blazer. We all thought he was dead because he was no where to be found. We rolled the blazer from any where to three to five times. My stepdad had two big cups of pop in his hands. When we were done he was covered in pop. He had glass in his hair and every where so the ambulance people checked him out. My mom had glass in her hand if i remember right. What is a winter storm composed of? A winter storm is composed of cold air, moisture and lift.= =Dust Bowl= =The website i used is http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe30s/water_02.html= =Where did the Dust Bowl get its name? The dust bowl got its name after the Black Saturday, April 14, 1935. In year 1932, fourteen dust storms has been recorded on the Plains. In year 1933, there was thirty-eight storms. The day after the Black Sunday, an Associated Press reporter used the term "Dust Bowl" for the first time. The term was stuck and used by radio reporters and writers. They used the words in private letters and public speeches. I do not think it would be fun to be in or around a Dust Bowl.= =Biographies of Famous People= =The website i used is http://www.famouspeople.co.uk/c/christophercolumbus.html= =Who was Christopher Columbus? Christopher Columbus was an explorer and trader who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the America's in 1492.

When was Christopher Columbus born and what town? Christopher Columbus was born between August 26 and October 31 in the year of 1451 and the town is in the Italian port city of Genoa.

Christopher had three younger brothers. Their names are Bartolomeo, Giovanni Pellegrino, and Giacomo and his sister's name is Bianchinetta. I think Christopher Columbus was a really busy man and I think that he had a lot of things to do when he was alive.= =Household Problems=

==The information that I am using is written by Shirley Philbrick. Shirley is an eHow member. What is an easy solution for a door squeaking? Do not use WD- 40 and it would be better to use non-stick cooking spray to grease the squeaky hinges on those doors. What is a household solution for ring around the collar? The solution is to apply shampoo to the ring effectively to remove it. Shampoo is made to remove oil residue from hair so it makes sense that it will work for the stains that is left on the shirt collars. When trying to sew, you can apply hairspray to the thread. Then let it dry, and the thread will go thru the needle really easily. What is a solution for counter tops? You will need to get the paper towels wet with rubbing alcohol. Lay the paper towels over the stain and let the paper towels sit on the stain. When watering your plants, an easy solution is to add two tablespoons of pure maple syrup to the base of the pot. I think that every part of information is very important. Every body should know how to do everything when they are down looking things up.== =News Articles= =The website i used is http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20110118/NEWS/101180372/Student-killed-crash-Waukee-athlete?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Frontpage|s= ==A student was killed in a car crash was a Waukee athlete. He was a football player. He greeted his friends with hugs and hearty hellos. Bryant Lashier is the guys name that died. Bryant was a sixteen year old worried more about everything together instead of his in crowd status.He also ran track and was also a member of his school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club How did Bryant died? Bryant died when the car he was driving crashed on the ramp from westbound Interstate Highway 235 to northbound Interstate Highway 35/80 about 3:30 A.M. The car was in flames when the police arrived. I am feeling sorry for the family because i know what it is like to loose a family member. I lost my baby brother when he was one year and ten months old he drowned in a swimming pool. The bad thing is that he was born on my mom and stepdad's anniversary. So it is really hard to lose someone in the family especially a sibling.==

==How to fix a broke softball bat by Kent Page McGroarty. He is an e how Contributor. What are the instructions for fixing a soft ball bat? You will need to find where the bat is cracked at. The bat could be cracked in the handle, on the end of the bat or in the barrel of the bat. You will then need to separate the crack as careful as possible with a flat-head screwdriver and then leave the screw driver wedged in the crack. Then you will need to apply a large amount of wood glue inside the crack of the bat. Make sure the glue gets inside the crack by using your fingers to rub the glue on the crack. Now you can remove the screw driver and apply the clamps to the crack. Use an old rag or something old to wipe away the extra glue. Now let the bat dry for three hours or overnight. I do not think it would be fun trying to fix a soft ball bat because there is a lot of steps to take. I am not good with working with bats I use to play softball but then i got older and I did not want to play any more.==

==How to shop for a new outfit for the baby? Well you will need to know the size of the baby, the color of clothes that you want for your baby. You will also want to knkow the fit and fabric for the baby. The sizes are laid out for the age of the babies. Baby gowns are loose fitting and fall straight from the shoulders, an excellent fit should not be a huge issue for the baby. The tradiotional colors of an infant clothes are various shades of pink and blue so there are many choices of clothes for the baby. Mom's that have boys choose blue for them to have that color to wear. Colors that are popular backgrounds for bunnies, teddy bears, and yellow ducks would be a pale yellow, lavender and a mint green. A good fit for the baby should be difficult to get. For every preemie that is too tiny for standard newborn sizes there is a chubby little sweetheart baby that has a difficulty of squeezing into a sleeper that is meant for a three month old baby. Soft cotton fabrics are the gold standard when it comes to babies clothes. Most of the parents look for the more comfortable clothes for their kids. //Babies are so abordable who doesnt love them? Yes they do have a lot of shopping to do for. The parents will also have to make a lot of choices for there babies.//==
