Interesting scientific factsyup i have just changed my blogskin...to be honest...i just changed my blogskin for the sake of changing it..yes and i don't really really like this skin but i do like the colour combi of it...ok so any time when i have found a skin that i really like...i will change it!i brought home my student's pri 5 science assessment book to mark and to read through also so that i can revise with her tmr...her exams r coming...and her mum has really really high expectations on her..can see that my student, vanessa is kinda suffocating with all the work that her mum is piling on her...poor gal..btw i read abt some funny stuff on my student's science book...and i have decided to share these with u guys!check out this interesting story about the angler fish...here it goes...The amazingly ugly angler fish, lives deep in the Altantic and Antaractic oceans. The (sometimes luminous) spine of its dorsal fin acts as a fishing rod with a fleshy 'bait' at the end to attract other fish for it to eat. The female of the species can grow up to 47 inches long but the males never grow longer than 2.5 inches! (ok i added the exclamation mark myself) The male lives almost like a parasite on the female, attaching itself to the female's body by biting. His mouth fuses with her skin and the bloodstreams of both become connected. The female feeds him enough nourishment to keep him alive long enough for reproduction. He slowly begins to degenerate. His eyes wither and then he loses them entirely, his internal organs disappear and eventually he becomes nothing more than a source of sperms. Interesting isn't it? :PAnother interesting read...Q: The sea horse has a unique mode of reproduction. What is so special about them? Describe their mode of reproduction.A: The male and female sea horse play reverse roles in reproduction. The male seahorse is the only male on the planet that gives birth to the young. The male and female mate face to face (which is also unusual in the animal world). The female passes the eggs to the male, which he keeps in a pouch. Eventually, he gives birth using contractions to squeeze the babies out. They then swim off to begin their own lives. How come i used to hate science so much during my pri sch days? Hmm...
