Yesterday, all the 7th graders took a trip to the zoo to see our animal that we did research on. I did not find out anything new about my animal, unfortunately, the zoo didn't have a lot of information about my bird. I did think of the bird in a different way. I seen that the bird would only stay in the sandy part of the bird house thing. I also only saw one Crocodile Bird, or Egyptian Plover. This made me think that the zoo wasn't able to get more than one.

Do you know why the sky is blue? The reason the sky is blue is because of scattering. Short wavelengths scatter more and longer wavelengths don't scatter as much. I think you could guess that blue is a short wavelength. If blue had a longer wavelength, then the sky wouldn't be as blue. 

Some people might think that it is the ocean that makes the sky blue. They think this because since the ocean is blue, then it might reflect on the sky.

Do you know why the sky is blue? I think that the sky is blue because it absorbs all the colors except for the blue one and it reflects the blue one and the reflection goes back into your eyes. The colors that it absorbs are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.The way I remember that those are the colors is by a name, sort of like a boys name: Roy G. Biv. That is how I remember the colors. When the all of the other colors get absorbed into the sky, the blue one reflects it and comes back to meet your eyes.
