Wow look at the pretty leaves! :)

Wow look at the pretty leaves! :)







         You probably know that the leaves outside are changing but do you know why? No, well your in luck because due to my science class I know and I'm going to teach you. The leaves are actually these colors all the time but they have a chemical in it called chlorophyll that is very green, so it covers the colors up. Every plant needs this along with sun and soil to make food to survive. But in the winter the days get shorter and there is less sunlight, so the plant goes into a hibernation mode and loses its leaves to survive.  

       So we can't only talk about 1 season. We can't be selfish and leave the other seasons out. There are winter, summer, autumn and spring.The world is split in half, in two hemispheres. The northern and southern hemisphere, they are cut in half by the equator. Since they are at two different sides of the world their seasons occur at different times. Seasons occur due to the earth tilt. Get it? Well here is a picture to help you understand the way it works.

          Hey so if you guys live somewhere where there is winter do you like it? Why I ask about this season is because it is my favorite because I love the cold. Snow is also AMAZING in my opinion. Tell me about your favorite season in coments or blogs. :) Well I hope you learned something and next time when people ask you why the leaves are changing you won't have to say because the seasons are. Have a GREAT day! 

AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE :)

Another reason of why I love the seasons is they are beautiful, here let me show you,this is winter:

This is spring:

This is fall or autumn:

This is summer:

CORNY SCIENCE JOKES AHEAD!

      I ON the computer!!!! WOW! I think we have an I ON ic bond because you are on the computer too! :) Did ya get it you're on the computer and I'm on mine but we are talking about ions!!!!!! Hahaha ohh Corny jokes are the best! Hmm...I wonder what our first topic is lets see. IONS! An ion is just a fancy word for an electrically charged atom, meaning the number of protons and the number of electrons are different.A positive ion has more protons and a negative ion has more electrons. So an ionic bond is a chemical bonds which 2 atoms with opposite charges attract so the positively cancels out the negativity or vice versa.

       Hey I just got a text on my SHELL phone!! Wait this blog isn't supposed to be about my personal life! Where were we? Ohh yeah next we are going to talk about shells.So a shell is the path in the electron cloud where the electrons orbits. A valence shell is the last shell in the electron cloud. The valence shell is the shell that either takes an electron or loses one and becomes an ion! A positive valence is when the valence shell has more protons then electrons. So a negative valence is when there are more electrons on the shell.

     

 






Okay so cation there is some pretty good info ahead! ;) Okay, Okay I'll stop with the corny jokes FOR NOW! A cation is a ion that is positive, meaning it gave away an electron and now has more protons than electrons. An anion is a negative ion so it gained an electron and has more electrons than protons.

Well I here is another corny science joke ;) So a neutron walks into a restaurant and sits in front of the waitress who happened to be a proton. The neutron asks "How much for a juice box?". The proton replies "For you? No charge!".The neutron asks "Are you sure?". The proton says "positive!"

Well lets wrap up this blog with some web sites!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
