Life on the Moon
26 09 2009-
Breaking News…Breaking News…..Breaking News..

Indias’s probe to the moon, Chandrayan, has discovered evidence of water in the lunar surface. Although the dust which covers the moon appears as a fine dry powder, it seems that there are water molecules locked away within its minerals.This means that in future if ever we were to go a nd actually try a live on the moon we could probably extract the water , a basic need for life.
Considering that the moon was actually formed from Earth along time ago, it’s only natural that we find water there! I wonder what else they will find there….gold, uranium and other very precious metals probably! I predict that a mining and drilling mission to the moon will be next. Watch this space…!

Scientists are warning that the polar bears may join the Dodo and disappear from the wild in less than 70 years! That’s within our lifetime.
It is a very sad and sobering thought.
It’s all happening due to the Polar bear losing its habitat- the ice in the arctic is melting as the Earth continues to get warmer.

Welcome back!
7 09 2009I hope that you all had a relaxing and peaceful summer after all your hard work in the summer term. It is great to be back at school ready to learn more about nature, space, chemicals , gems, microbeasts and lots more.

I would just like to share a photo of a place I visited in Japan during the summer. Does anyone know the name of this building? (Clue: A precious metal and a place of worship)
Let me know in the comments if you do know.
