Global Warming impacts Earth everyday, destroying the beautiful things about Earth, like the Artic, and the living animals. Math and Global warming have a close relationship, because of the statistics of the impacts of Global Warming. For example, the Artic is disappearing because of Global Warming, and math ties into this because about 30%-50% of the Artic no longer exists. With math statistics, you can also estimate the time when the Artic will be completely gone. Also, math ties into Global Warmings impact on land, because of percentages. Twenty to thirty percent of animals are on the verge of extinction due to Global Warming. Also, using math statistics, humans can make calculations too when Global warming impacts a species for long enough, and cause extinction for that species. Finally, Math, with the help of science, can be used to create new devices and gather data to save the planet from Global Warming. For example, math can be used towards the knowledge required to analyze wind turbines, like how much electricity does the turbine generate at a certain speed? How many homes can be powered by this much electricity? Math can be used to make these types of devices more efficient. Math can help save our planet!!

As my last year in Omega continues, I learn many new topics in my science class. We are currently learning about animal classification. So far, I have learned that animals are classified into 35 major phyla. Also, I have learned that more than 95% of animals are invertebrate (animals without a backbone). Finally, the third thing I learned in science class on the animal topic is the four major functions of an animal. The four functions of an animal are the ability to reproduce, movement, able to keep internal conditions stable, and the ability to obtain food and oxygen. I also had the ability to learn about this topic out side of school. I learned that the study of animal classification is named taxonomy. Also, I learned that there is a third kingdom that has animals that bridge the animal and plant kingdom.
Personally, I found this topic to be very entering. Even though I new many things about this topic, I still found it to be interesting, and I did learn some new things. I wonder what new and exiting topics my class will learn in the future.
