How does it form from Volcanoes?
The vesicles are actually gas bubbles that were trapped in the rock during the rapid cooling of a gas-rich frothy magma.

Woman should not be allowed in the military? (persuasive writing)

Woman should not be allowed in the military.

Woman should be allowed to be in the military because they have the right to fight for their country.

Woman are strong and independent and should be allowed to stand by our men and protects their country and they can also be as strong as men.

I think that woman should be in the military because they want to help protect their country and woman should just stay home and let the men fight they want some action too. people think that woman are weak but I think that they are not they are as strong as men and can fight like men and should be allowed in the military. Woman are taken for granted and should be respected just like men. Women back then were not allowed because the military thought they were weak and couldn't fight.

On July 28, 1914, was  World war I, the woman was not allowed to fight in the war they had to stay back look after the kids and do all the cleaning.  Only men were allowed to fight in the wars and the women were not. I think back then they thought women were weak and could not fight and should be at home looking after the kids. Some women were farmers and had to look after the farm by her self. She had to feed the animals she also had feed her kids they also had to protect their land from thieves.

When the 2nd world war happened women were allowed to fight. 

Egyptian Medicine (Social Studies)

Medical practice in ancient Egypt was so advanced that many of their observations, policies, and commonplace procedures would not be surpassed in the west for centuries after the fall of Rome and their practices would inform both Greek and Roman medicine.

In the modern-day, it is recognized that disease and infection can be caused by germs and one might think people have always believed so but this is a relatively late innovation in human understanding. It was not until the 19th century CE that the germ theory of disease was confirmed by Louis Pasteur and proven by the work of British surgeon Joseph Lister.

Before either of them, the Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865 CE) offered the then outlandish proposal to the medical community that they could cut mortality rates in their practices simply by washing their hands. He was mocked by doctors, who saw no reason to wash their hands before even the most invasive surgical procedures and grew increasingly frustrated and bitter.

P.E (Gymnastics)

              On Monday my friends and I did gymnastics. We first did the mini-tramp and it was fun.

                                        It was challenging and hard but it was very fun.

All zoos should be should down and release the animals back into their natural habitats. 
Planning:

Points For : 
Keeping them in cages is bad cause they are not getting that much space to move around and have to live in a small area
Animals should be able to run around the wilderness and not in a cage.
Zoos are also open to the public and people like to see animals and animals get scared when people approach them.

Points Against:
Animals are very unique animals and should be kept in zoos so they are not hunted and killed.
If the animals were released from the zoo they are going to endangered animals and are soon going to be instinct.
Animals in zoos are fed and looked after as if they were in the wildness they would have to look for their own food and they have no one to look after them and they might be killed by a predator.
Animals are safer than being in the wilderness hunted by predator and pests.
 _________________________________________________________________________________

Introduction
Should zoos be shut down and release the animals back into the natural habitat? I think animals should not be let into the wilderness because it is putting their lives at risks of extinction.

P1
Some animals that are in zoos are put there because they are at risk. Zoos are feeding the animals and looking after them whereas if they were in the wilderness they would have to hunt for their food and the adults have to protect the family. Zoos were made because our animals needed a place to live and to repopulate without having to worry about being hunted. Also, Zoos have special doctors (vets) for if an animal is not feeling well or the zookeeper feels th
