SFOTW: Don't Blink You'll Miss It

It is something that you never think about during the day. It just happens while you go about throughtout your day. I bet while you have been reading this blog you have done this a few times. Can you guess what it is??? It's blinking! And this week the sceince fact of the week is that average human blinks 4,200,000 times a year! What is your average number of blinks during a day? Have someone count how many times you blink for a minute, then multiply that by 60 (because there is 60 minutes in an hour), and then muliply that by 24 (24 hours in a day). thats the average number of times you blink during one day. TRY IT OUT!!

Science Fact for the Week!!

Since every student in the sixth grade seems to have brought in a caterpillar my classroom, I found this fact appropriate.  

SCIENCE FACT OF THE WEEK:

The human body has less muscles in it than in a caterpillar!!! 

So the next time you are feeling small, think about the caterpillar.  He is way smaller than any body builder, but has way more muscle!!!
