Sarah- The Republican Debate:

2015-10-01 18:31:47 UTC

September was a big month for the republican debates, which 15 republicans ran against each other to be the parties nomination. They mainly talked about the large topic which is the boarder between Mexico and America. Mainly all of them agreed that the boarders patrol should be improved, while Trump stood out with the idea of building a wall. At the end of the debate Trump was still at the top of polls for the Republican Party.

Connection:

This must be the republican debate that CNN followed for a while!

Saturn is a planet that you can see with a naked eye.It is also a planet that it ring can not be seen without a telescope.Saturn is also one of the biggest planet.Saturn's ring is almost between The Earth and The moon.One connection is that Saturn rotates at the same speed as Earth which is 175,000.

Jack Mancini Who Was Boss Before Dinosaurs

2015-10-01 18:33:20 UTC

Paleontologists who's study fossils have fossil records dating back to 230 million years ago which is the time of the Triassic period. They have found a huge discovery that has changed the land and the sea. The discovery caused more than half of the large reptilian creatures to go extinct.

My connection is as I was reading I remembered reading books when I was younger because when I was younger I was fascinated with the topic of dinosaurs.

Ethan Reed 2015 Release Of The World Records!

2015-10-01 18:33:32 UTC

"The 2015 Guinness World Record finally got released in September. Their are about more than 40,000 catagory's in the record Book. Yet the Record Book only holds about 4,000 Records each year. But people will do almost anything to get into the World Records, anything". The founder of the World Records was Sir Hugh Beaver in the 1951s during an arguement of the fastest bird in Europe.

My connection is that i wanted to win a world record to but it seemed to hard to win one. Also because its more challaged.

Alex Lauer~ What's Up With Saturns Rings

2015-10-01 18:35:04 UTC

Saturn is a planet you can see with a naked eye, but you can't see it's rings. That's because they are so thin. Scientists don't know when Saturns rings appeared, but they know that you can only see the rings with the planet when you use a telescope.

This reminds me of how people found water in Mars, because now they have found more cool things about space.

Jack Bidwell Saturn's Rings

2015-10-01 18:35:33 UTC

The Saturn article explains a little more about the rings that are surrounding Saturn. It tell you more about what they are made of and how they were made. They were discovered in 1610 when Galileo when he invented the telescope.

This reminds me about the new pictures and studies of Pluto.

Guinness world record-Connor Eise

2015-10-01 18:35:41 UTC

Every year there are tens of thousands of record sent to guinness. Only about 80% of those are sent into consideration. When agreed they will send in a judge to record the guinness record. There are nearly 4,000 new records put into the book each year. The first published world record book was in 1955.

What's up with Saturn's rings? - Maloree Robertson

skytheemolga03 — 2015-10-01 18:36:29 UTC

In the article, it talks about how Saturn's rings, how they are made, and how they look the way they do. Even though they look continuous, they are actually made of tiny particles of dust, and rocky and icy particles wrapped on ice. Nobody knows how or when the rings were made, but we do know that they are a continuous process and not static. Thanks to tech like probes that land on Saturn, we are able to continue studying these rings.

Connection: The rings are kind of like Earth, where Earth looks like a giant marble from far away, but close up, there are valleys, mountains, houses, lakes, seas, and a lot of other things.

Mason Day-Saturn's Rings

2015-10-01 18:36:50 UTC

Saturn's rings were discovered on the year 1610 by Galileo. Saturn's rings are gigantic having a span of 175,000 miles around the planet. They are also very thin but the rings can get to be 30 feet wide. even though you can see Saturn with the naked eye you can't see its rings without a telescope. My connection is that in 5th grade I learned about Galileo and his interest in the stars and planets.

A long time ago during the Jurassic period, the dinosaurs were the most prominent creatures. But before the Jurassic period there was a period

Kasey Fox - Nepal: Finally a Constitution

2015-10-01 18:37:02 UTC

Nepal has been under the reign of the Shas, a Hindu family that took over the government of Nepal in 1768, but now the government of Nepal has been dramatically changed. After the Shas were assassinated a close relative took over. Rebels have taken over since the assassination of the Shas in 2001 and with their unstable government they have made an executive decision to form a constitution for the country of Nepal. Their government will soon be similar to that of the United Kingdom, but for now Nepal is taking baby steps in the right direction to democracy. This story of Nepal going through the process of becoming a democracy has reminded myself of the Republic debates and how candidates are presenting their next steps for the government of the United States of America.

Lexi W - Who was the Boss before Dinosaurs

2015-10-01 18:38:07 UTC

Dinosaurs were said to be the very first on earth but they found otherwise. Before the dinosaurs there was many mammal forerunners and some crocodile like reptiles. What happened to them was that they dominated the landscape but after they did that they were extinct. This discovery was proven to be why half the animals on earth got here.

I have read a little bit about who dinosaurs weren't the first ones.

Luke Engelby: Saturn's Rings

engelbylj — 2015-10-01 18:40:41 UTC

Saturn's rings are gigantic, but they are thin, and some are only 30 feet high. They are made up of billions of particles, from dust sized frozen grains to much larger pieces of water ice and rocky particles in ice. Because of that, they are not visible unless used with a telescope. One thing we do know is that their formation is a continuous process. I can relate to this story, because my older sister did a project on Saturn's rings.

What's wrong with Saturn's rings

Saturn's rings are big but some are only 30 feet tall. Saturn's rings are made of trillions of particles. The rings of Saturn can't be seen with the naked eye. The rings of Saturn were discover by a scientist looking through a teliscope.

Sautern's rings are like earth

Bodie Lutz: who was the boss before dinosaurs?

2015-10-01 18:41:21 UTC

A long time ago during the Jurassic period, dinosaurs were the most prominent animals. Before the Jurassic period, there was the Triassic period. Paleontologists discovered that during the Triassic period, the most dominant animal was crocodile-like creatures. Paleontologists also discovered that something happened 200 million years ago that caused the crocodile-like creatures to go extinct.

I can relate this text to the situation where the white rhinos are going extinct in Africa.

Ethan Martin Who Was the Boss Before the Dinosaurs?

2015-10-01 18:42:08 UTC

The animal that was the boss before the dinosaurs is large crocodile-like reptiles. They hunted the herbivores (plant eaters).These animals were at the top of the food chain. They were the total boss, nothing would want to go near this monster- like creature. This story reminded me of when I read about people starting to hunt crocodiles.

Chase C World Records

cohrsdl — 2015-10-01 18:42:10 UTC

Every year thousands of people send records to Guinness world records. On September 11 Guinness Realesed the 2015 version with 40,000 records. The latest record was largest feet size,26. They also had the fastest Tortice going 0.6 mph.

My connection was me and my friends tried to make the longest text message of 2015 but we never submitted it.

Sam Kober Dinosaurs

2015-10-01 18:42:29 UTC

Some scientists say dinosaurs used to rule everything until they found a fossil that dates back to 230 million years ago. Scientists say that dinosaurs originally date back to 200 million years ago. They also say that the Placerias species changed the earth before people and dinosaurs came. Then they became extinct.

I think this relates to rhinos becoming extinct.

Jason Rino Big Clock Fixed with a Few Small Pennies

2015-10-01 18:43:32 UTC

The famous Britain clock, Big Ben, was noticed to be about six seconds behind. The famous landmark had been said was "a little temperamental with age". The timing was fixed by officials, stacking pennies on the pendulum one by one to fine tune the clock within normal speed. The problem was noticed by the staff at BBC Radio, who broadcasts live at 6 pm.

Karl Krueger

During the Triassic period a crocodile like animal were the top predictors. These animals were meat eaters. These animals were really important because these animals killed off half of the dinosaurs population. Then one mysterious event caused all of the animals to be eliminated. My connection with this article was erlier in the year on CNN student news we watch something about reamanes of something in a cave in South Africa that could be a dinosaur. My article the boss of dinosaurs.

Lexi Scarborough- Who was boss before the Dinos

2015-10-01 18:46:02 UTC

We all know about the Jurassic period, but not a lot of people know about the Triassic period. During the Triassic period crocodile like reptiles were the main predators. Paleontologists learned that 200,000,000 years ago, something big happened. It changed life on land and in the ocean. The thing that happened was big that it made half of all the living things on Earth die. The crocodile like reptiles died, so then the dinos became boss.

CONNECTION:

This reminds me of how we discovered a new human species, it made me believe in dinosaurs and cavemen more.

The second round of the republican debate took place on September sixteenth. The debate focused on the economy, imagrtion, and national security. The eleven top republican candidates, including the republican front runner Donald Trump, talked about these topics and more. They also touched on honoring Ronald Regain for his actions as president. A connection is that other countries vote for their presidents often.

Henry Magill Republican Debate

2015-10-01 18:47:26 UTC

Donald Trump says that if he is elected president he will deport 11-12 million undocumented immigrants. He also will be sending them back and will make a wall between Mexico and the United States. That is a lot of people but it could help us with keeping terrorists out of the country. I agree with Trump because they could be dangerous to us. This reminded me of some time when we watched CNN Student News about the time when we saw parts of the republican debate.

Republican Debate Take Two: Noah Roppe

2015-10-01 18:48:57 UTC

During the second part of the Republican debate, there is a fierce argument between the favored republicans. most people are surprised that there are so many candidates this early to the election. Some of the candidates, such as Donald Trump, are going to help enforce the immigration problem. Then during the end they are remembearing Ronald Reagon , one of the best US presidents. This reminds me of the one edition of the CNN student news where they went over the first part of the debate

Lauren Livengood-- The President Visits Africa

livengoodld — 2015-10-02 00:58:11 UTC

On July 24 President Obama visited Kenya and Ethiopia to address human rights, trade and politics with the African leaders. He went to Kenya and Ethiopia not only to discuss these topics but to also strengthen the U.S. and African relationship. While the president was there he gave a speech at Global Entrepreneurship Summit, something he deeply cares about. He discussed "the importance of innovation," to a country that has been struggling economically. In the part of the article where it says that Obama discussed human rights and politics with African leaders, it made me think of all the refugees and migrants fleeing to Europe because of wars in Africa.

Morgan Geyer Who was the boss before dinosaurs

2015-10-02 02:35:18 UTC

Scientists found dinosaur bones that have been there for 200,000. That means 200,000 years ago several dinosaurs roamed the earth. One of the dinosaurs was a large hippo like herbivore. The other dinosaur was crocodile like. Those were some of the rulers before dinosaurs.

Connection: I know that scientists recently found new Mammoth (and other dinosaur) bones but these prehistoric bones were even older.

Gabreil Velez- NASA pluto pictures

2015-10-02 17:15:25 UTC

In this article NASA has put pictures about pluto from Boulder,CO. The pictures show that pluto is dark, cold ,and icy. The next target they said to reach is to look one billion mile beyond pluto. How the got the pictures is they used Jupiter's orbit to fling the space craft towards Pluto. But right now they can only see 44 miles beyond pluto. This reminds me of when they put Neil Armstrong on the moon.

Ever since 2008 Greece has been in financial trouble and they keep slipping deeper.Greece was supposed to pay back a big loan on June 30, but the prime minister said the country was unable to do so.Greece has had help from other banks witch led to a bailout fund of 240 billion euros but Greece had to make a big change. The loan helped pay off other countries but did not stretch the countries economy.The country is also struggling with high unemployment rates 25% of the population is out of work.
