Hero's Quest

 This is my slide show about Hero's Quest This year I learned how to cut down a longer video clip, to a shorter one using Kapwing Video Trimmer, which is a free programme. I made short video clips to show some of the steps in the Hero’s Quest.  I put the short video clips about ……….. Into a slide show. I also used a “How to” YouTube video online to convert my slide show into a presentation in this blog. I also learned how to change the background colour in a slide, for example I chose red for my Jurassic Park slide because red represents fire and a volcano. On Godzilla versus Kong i used blue background to symbolise Godzilla's fire breath.

Stay Away From Me! - Defence Mechanisms of Animals

Image
What if every time you felt threatened, your first and only method of defense was to break your own bones and use them for weapons? Meet the hairy frog, a Central African species. When breeding, the male frogs develop thin strands of skin along the sides of their bodies that resemble hair. In theory, these strands also allow the frogs to take in more oxygen while they watch over their eggs. But what's really compelling about this frog is its ability to crack its own toe bones and push them through their skin to form sharp claws , which are great for warding off would-be attackers. While it's not completely clear what happens to the bones after the threat of attack subsides, researchers believe the bones slide back under the skin when the frog’s muscles relax. My summary: Firstly, it breaks its own bones to use them for weapons. Secondly, the sides of their bodies resemble hair. Thirdly, it allows the frogs to take in more oxygen. The hairy frog isn't the only amphibian tha
