Khan Academy: 1. In order to find a country's growth rate, you need to count how many people were added to the population (including births and immigrants) and how many people were removed. You have to subtract the people that were added from the people that were removed. 2. Many things influence population growth, one of them being religion. Some religions promote large families, increasing the number of people in their faith. Some religions will forbid the use of contraceptives, ensuring large families. 3.

my last blog!

Today is the last day of school! I finally have all my work done and I am excited for summer. I thought that Mr. Schick's online learning assignments were fun.

Life Expectancy

Today in class we talked about life expectancy. We discussed how different our (people born in 2004-2005) life expectancies might be compared to Mr. Shick's generation.

However, our generation's life expectancy might be shorter because we tend to eat less healthy and more processed foods.  Tomorrow we do not have class because we are taking the PSAT. The test usually takes two and a half hours. I am nervous because I think it is going to be very hard. I am also sad that we have to wear our uniforms! However, I am glad that we get off at 12:00. After the test, I have a little bit of a break and then go right to soccer practice. I hope that our team plays well in our game on Thursday.
