Mosquitoes are the most deadliest creature on earth. We think all mosquitoes bite us but really it’s the female mosquitoes. When mosquitoes lay their eggs they lay them in groups. Some times it can be 5 years in till the eggs hatch. Its very interesting how such small insects can be very dangerous so you should never underestimate small insects.

The Monks Impact On Inventions
I am going to talk about how the christian monks helped preserve and restore civilization after the Roman Empire collapsed. The monks knew how to read and write so they were more intelligent then the others so they made some inventions.
Water Wheels
Water wheels were introduced in 4000 BC. Water wheels were used to help farming and supply water in villages so they had plenty of water.
Cams
Cams are a useful invention to shape tools and are widely used in engines. They are a very important mechanical part in many machines.
Gears
Gears are used to help a turning rotation and to help decrease and increase the speed of something. Gears were invented in 50 AD by the hero of Alexandria.
Crank And Connecting Rod
A Crank and connecting rod is an engine that transfers motion from the piston to the crankshaft. They were invented in 1430.
My favorite invention was the cam because the way it shapes the tool is cool and I found the motion fascinating.
Termites
Termites are little insects that eat wood. The queen termite produces millions of termites a year. The other termites takes care of the queen. If the queen dies the colony and the eggs will die because no one can lay eggs. When the queen dies they take care of the body the might produce a new queen.Those was some facts about termites .
Honey Bees
Bees are insects that produce honey. There is so many type of bees. But a really big honey bee is the Europen honey bee. They warn there predators by stinging them but when they sting the predator the bee dies so the bees will make a big wave in the colony
That is how honey bees defend there hive.Thank you for reading have a nice day.
The Impact Of New Construction Tools On Architecture
Over time there were changes in building tools which led to bigger and fancier buildings. Back in the times of ancient Egypt they did not have cranes so it would take a long time to haul large stone bricks back and forth. People had to lift and carry these stone bricks, because of that it took years to just build a small structure. Now with the invention of cranes, this has become much faster and easier. Cranes made it easier to build taller buildings such as skyscrapers. Cranes also made it easier to build ships because it let people make stronger ships out of metal instead of wood. Ships made out of metal were stronger and better for warships. Excavators were another tool that was used to help advance building techniques. They are a better and larger type of shovel. Excavators are used to mine and to do forest work. They clear land for more building. Thanks to these inventions it is easier to build big buildings and structures.
My Dream Room
I am going to tell you how I would style my room. First of all, I would think of what theme it would be. It would be Harry Potter because I really like that story.
Next I would do my bed, it would be a bunk bed and the bottom would be a dorm from the school Hogwarts. Then my walls would be a light red and some Harry Potter decor.
And that was how I would style my room hope you enjoyed.
The Evolution of War
Hello I am going to talk about how inventions changed war, lets get started.
Swords
Swords were first made out of copper then they were made out of iron so they were very helpful in the war. But then we discovered gun powder and began to use guns more than swords. Then we put little swords on rifles called bayonets.
Warships
Warships were used to attack other boats on the water. They needed at least 170 rowers on a boat to move it. Also, they were allowed 30 extra oars on a boat in case of an accident. Because of warships it became easier to fight on water.
The End
That was my article on how inventions changed warfare and tactics. I hope you enjoyed reading my article on how inventions changed war.
The Outer Banks
This summer I went to the Outer Banks. I had a lot of and I want to share it with you. I hope you enjoy reading.
First off I got to stay in a nice beach house with my family. We went for bike rides , watched movies and my uncle made pancakes and eggs for breakfast and boy were they good.
My favorite part was going go carting it was so much fun. And after that we went to a really big candy store they had so much candy. They also had ice cream I did not have any though.
That was my time at the Outer Banks I hope you enjoyed reading.

The History Of Coins
What are coins? Coins are small metal discs used as money. They are made out of different metals and have changed over time.
Coins were discovered in Lydia near Greece. The earliest discovered was 1000 BC and older. They were made out of gold and silver then, now they are made of nickel, copper and other alloys. Alloys are a mixture of metals like electrum (gold and silver). Metals were used because they needed them to be durable and easy to handle. Ingots weren’t as portable so coins were used. They became the most marketable commodity. A example is King Midas with the golden touch and how this story tells the importance of money to people.
Using coins instead of a barter system made paying for things easier. Today we still have the system of commerce but with money currency.
The End.
Trip to the pool
My favorite part of summer was going to the pool with my friend. I like this best because my friend and I got to play and get to go eat. At the pool we swam and had a fun little cannonball and belly flop contest. When we were all done swimming we went to eat at Jimmy Johns. Then we went to my house and played with slime. This is why that day was my favorite part of the summer.
