Science:

This week in science we learned about a bird egg. We printed off a copy of a diagram on an egg. It shows you the differnt parts that an egg has and what it will use to protect its self and keep it safe. Their are a lot of cool new facts that I didn't know eggs. We did a science project on eggs, we put and egg in some vinegar and let it sit for week, then it turned into a what they call a naked egg where the shell was eaten away by the vinegar . It was so cool! 

History/Geography:

This week in Geography we are still working on our study of the Asian continent. We studied the population of Asia and the Regions. My country that I am doing a report on is India, In 2013 the population of India was about 1.252 Billion! And the region that it currently is in is called South Asia, because the British colonized India and every region South, North, East, and West was called that. So that is why India's region is called South Asia, because India is in the south.
