Fifth Grade Science: Bones and The Skeletal System
This is one of the science topics I learned in grade five. Your bones are made out of minerals called calcium. Your bones have four main jobs: One, it holds up your body and gives you structure. Two, it helps you move around. Three, the inside of your bone produces blood cells, and four it protects your organs. Humans are originally born with 300 bones but then ends up with 206 bones at the age of 25. Why do we lose so much bones? Well, the 300 bones you started with fuses up together to make one big bone. Your skeleton is organized into two parts. The axial and appendicular. The axial bones of your body give your body shape and structure such as your ribs. The appendicular bones are the bones that help you move, like your kneecap.
This lists 22 bones in their scientific name.

Coding with Python ; Sixth grade computer science ; Homeschool  Its been almost 2 weeks since April has started. The weather is heating up and flowers are beginning to bloom. Spring has arrived and I am very pleased. This week for home schooling, computer science was the most interesting subject I took (after math, we were learning geometry) so I decided to write about what I learned.  *Most of these information is from “coding for kids python” and “Everything you need to know about computer science and coding in one big fat notebook”.* Python:  Python is an easy and most widely used programming language. It can be used for creating codes, making projects and designing websites. Python is written in an Integrated Development Environment Program (IDE for short), a program programmers can use to type and edit code and to create Python programs. The IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment) is the program that comes with python when you install it. The IDLE has two different

 New York Metropolitan Museum of Art The Metropolitan museum of Art, located in 5th avenue, is one of the worlds largest art museums in the world.
