Here is another presentation! THE LIFE CYCLE OF FROG by Nathaniel Situmorang. He could make a quite different presentation from what I had made. He was really appreciated for that. ^^

What exactly does Alcohol do to our body?

So now we know that alcohol is a drug. But what exactly does it do to our body?

You must know this!

Short term effects
Right after someone has had a few drinks, alcohol can:

• Make you feel sleepy, less coordinated, and slower to react to things
• Cause your brain to feel foggy, and make you think and see differently

That's because alcohol is a type of drug known as a depressant that slows down your central nervous system.
You might see in movies or hear stories about people throwing up after drinking a lot of alcohol. That happens when a person drinks more alcohol at one time than his or her body can process, and because alcohol has toxins in it that make us feel sick (and usually, that sickness lasts until the next day, otherwise known as a "hangover"). Sometimes, if a person drinks alcohol while he's taking certain kinds of medication, he can have a bad reaction and get physically ill.
 
Over the long haul
Years of drinking too much alcohol can really hurt your body. For instance:

• Stomach and intestine problems
• Liver damage
• Weight gain
• Nerve and muscle damage
• Heart problems
• Brain damage. Alcohol is very bad for your brain, and can cause everything from blackouts to permanent loss of brain functions and memory.
• Cancer. Long term drinking has been linked to cancer of the throat, mouth, liver, esophagus and larynx.

Drinking alcohol can also lead to emotional and psychological problems like sadness, depression, and even hallucinations (seeing and hearing things that are not real).

More negative effects of drinking

• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. If a pregnant woman drinks too much alcohol, it can seriously hurt her unborn baby and lead to birth defects.
• Alcohol poisoning. Drinking a large amount of alcohol at one time can cause coma and death.
• Alcohol and driving. Drinking alcohol makes it unsafe to drive a car. Drinking and driving killed over 16,000 Americans in 2004, and almost half of all car crashes involve drunk drivers.

HARMFUL SUBSTANCE (ALCOHOL)

There's a lot of information about alcohol out there, and it can be really confusing. But here's an easy way to look at the big questions and answers:

What is alcohol?
The simple answer: Alcohol is a drug.
The longer answer: Alcohol is a drug made when yeast (that stuff that makes bread rise) meets sugar (found in fruit or grains).

• Yeast plus grapes equals wine
• Yeast plus barley (a grain) equals beer
• Yeast plus just about any plant containing sugar equals liquor (whiskey, vodka, rum, etc.)

What does alcohol do?
The simple answer: Alcohol makes you drunk.
The longer answer: Alcohol, like any other drug, has lots of effects on the brain and body. One of the most obvious effects of alcohol is called "intoxication," which is a fancy word for "being drunk." When you are intoxicated:

• Your brain feels foggy
• You think and see differently
• You can be slow and clumsy
• You may react to things slower
• You may be unable to control your emotions

LIFE CYCLE OF ALLIGATOR by VALERIAN L. TEDJA

Hello! Welcome back to our blog. It has been more than a month I post nothing here. My students keep asking me about that. (grin)I am so sorry, my kiddos. (bow) Well, we are now in the second term. Let's begin this term with our activity in Science lesson. In the beginning of this term, students learned the life cycle of animals such as cat, fish, chicken, butterfly, frog and cockroach. I introduced the life cycle of frog to students through powerpoint presentation. By any chance, they liked it very much. They showed great enthusiasms as I assigned them to create a powerpoint presentation about the life cycle of an animal. Below is my presentation. And, here you are...presented only to you, THE LIFE CYCLE OF ALLIGATOR by Valerian L. Tedja. What came to my mind about his presentation was that it is simple and quite attractive. Hope you agree with me. ^^ Have a happy learning!

7 Reasons To Exercise For 1 Hour Every Day

Eating a balanced diet isn’t the only thing you need to do to keep your body healthy. Exercise helps strengthen your bones and muscles which can help you stay fit and active when you are older. Freddy recommends doing at least 1 hour of exercise every day to keep us fit and strong.

1. Exercise is good for your heart.

Did you know your heart is actually a muscle? Like other muscles in your body, your heart will get bigger and stronger with exercise because it has to pump blood round your body faster.

2. Exercise makes your body better.

Some activities such as football or skipping can make you stronger so you can run faster or for longer. Some exercise such as dancing and yoga makes your body more flexible and others like cricket might improve other skills such as batting or catching.

3. Exercise is good for your mood.

Whilst different exercises maybe be good for different parts of your body, all exercise is good for your mood! When you exercise, you brain releases feel good chemicals which make you feel happier and more relaxed.

4. Exercise Helps You Concentrate.

Believe it or not, exercising every day actually helps your concentration by improving the blood flow to your brain. This helps you stay alert and provides the nutrients and oxygen your brain needs to work at its best.

5. Exercise Helps You Sleep Better.

Although it's best not to exercise just before bed, exercising during the day or after school will increase your body temperature and releases tension. As your body cools down afterwards over the next few hours it makes it easier to fall into a deep sleep.

6. Practice Makes Perfect.

You may find you love a particular sport such as netball, karate, swimming or football. Regular practice will help you become even better at playing your favourite sports as well as keep your body healthy.

7. Exercise is fun!

Exercise can be great fun, especially if you do it with friends. Remember you don't have to enjoy playing sports to exercise. Running about with your friends, riding your bike, roller blading or even skipping are all classed as exercise too so there are plenty of fun ways to stay active.

Bat Fact #1

Bats are Mammals

A long time ago, people used to think bats were birds without feathers.  But now we know that there is no such thing as a featherless bird.  We know that bats are MAMMALS, just like people.

Some of the things that tell us bats are mammals:

• bats are warm blooded
• bats nurse their babies with milk
• bats have fur 

But bats are very special mammals.  They are the only mammals that can fly (without an airplane!)  Flying squirrels are mammals too, but they don't really fly.  They jump from high in a tree glide through the air like a kite.  Bats flap their wings and fly like a bird.

Scientific Information:  Bats make up the order Chiroptera.
