My nonfiction topic is Bats. These creatures are mammals. while the other flying mammals glide the bats are the only mammals that can fly constantly [or don't take a break by gliding]. There are over 1000 types of bats. One question I have is are some bats captured and skinned? I want to learn about bats and I am super exited for this unit.

I am researching chemistry/science. I wanted to pick this topic because I already know a lot about elements and somethings about protons and electrons also neutrons . I hope learn more about protons, electrons and neutrons. One question that I have is what so important about protons and neutrons in science, well I know that protons are positive neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative, but what more is in just those three words. Why are they so important in the chemistry and science world?

My topic that I chose was Portugal. I chose Portugal because it is where my family came from and because I love to go there. Some things I hope to learn when I start researching is the royal family tree and how the settlement back then was when there was Queen and Kings, Princes and Princesses. I wonder how we will do our introductions, because I would like to do it in riddle. I also wonder if we will do anything special with the informational essay.

My research topic is World War II. I wanted to learn about this topic because I really like history and this is one of my favorite subjects. Some questions I have related to this topic are what type of strategy did the Germans use? Why did the war start? What were some of the major battles? Why did Germany lose? Why did the Japanese take the side of the Germans? These are a few questions I have related to World War II.

I decided to research about marine life because I was always interested in marine life. I have always been fascinated about the wonders of the ocean. For example, there are 3 zones in the ocean. the lighted zone, the twilight zone, and the midnight zone. The lighted zone contains corals and a lot of animals. The twilight zone doesn't have much light but still gets a little light and contains the spider crab and a lot more. The spider crab's body is so small that some of it's food is digested in his leg. And the Midnight zone doesn't get any light at all and contains tiny biolumescent animals like spaghetti worms, plankton, and tubeworms who live on underwater volcanoes. Also, Greenland sharks can live up to 500 years old and grow around 0.4 inches a year. They don't have babies until they are 125 years old. Octopi have 9 brains while we only have one! Octopi only live for a few months to 5 years.

I plan to research the place Ellis Island for the informational writing. During the late 1800s and the mid 1900s, immigrants from all over the world came to America by ship. this topic caught my interest because if there were no immigrants from all over the world, America would be very different today. One question I have is that who wanted to build Ellis Island and why?

My topic was gymnastics. The reason why I chose gymnastics is because I used to do gymnastics. After, I just did dance. Now, I want to learn more about it.There is so much more that I don't know about gymnastics. I love watching gymnastics on t.v. All the cool tricks and events really "wow" me. One question is, who was the first U.S.A gymnast to get a perfect 10? Another question is, why don't men's gymnastics not use music? Lastly, I hope to learn more about the different skills in gymnastics.

My topic that I picked to learn about was Greek Mythology. What motivated me was 2 things. Since Mr.Bravman introduced us to our Astronomy Unit I have been fascinated in to the study of stars.We would role play too and we would share some laughs as he told the stories. I knew it was Greek Mythology. I also loved the study of history. Like back in 10,000 B.C. I hope to learn why Zeus always married new women.

The topic I wanted to research about is the Olympics. I wanted to do the Olympics because I started to get really interested in watching the while I was in first grade. In third grade I read a book about "Ancient Olympics." It was really bad that behind, 89before all the Olympics started, there was a sport on killing people from a religion. I started to wonder how the symbol of the Olympics started and what is there Mascot. One question I have on my topic is, how did the Olympics start and what it was like. I also wonder if there was a sport in the Olympics that was taken away or a sport taken away in different countries, such as Equestrian. I also want to learn about famous people who had to do with the Olympics.

I chose the amazing topic, killer whales! I chose this topic because they're cute, I don't know a lot about killer whales and want to learn more about them , and I remember when I was young every time I went to Sea World I would love to see the killer whales and I would love to sit in the front while Shamu splashed us.(Even if my parents didn't like getting wet.) Some things that I hope to learn are how may killer whales are there in the world , where did people find the first killer whales, and lastly why did people chose killer whales to perform in parks not another fish?These were a few questions I wanted to know in the beginning.

The topic that I am researching about is pandas. What motivated me was that pandas are from the Southern parts of China, and since it mentions China, count me in! (Because I am from China) What I hope to learn throughout the unit is how pandas progress through the years, and what were they considered before they were called pandas. A fact that I learned was that there are only two types of pandas. The Red panda and the Giant panda. Even though they are both considered pandas, the Giant panda is a closer relative to bears, while Red pandas are cousins to racoons.
