What is echolocation?

What is echolocation? Echolocation is something animals can use to see in dark places. As a bat, your habitat is mainly caves, so it will be pitch black and hard to locate your prey. Bats use echolocation to locate their prey.

Bats send out sound waves to determine where an object’s location is using it’s mouth or nose. If the sound waves hit an object, it will produce echoes. The echo will bounce off the object and return back to the bat, that is when the bat will strike.  

Of all the blind people in the world, nothing is worse than having your eyes removed. But there is one person in the world who can see without eyes. This boy’s name is Ben Underwood. As he was a 3 year old child, his eyes had to be removed due to eye cancer.

If he didn’t have an operation earlier, the eye cancer would have spread to his brain and will eventually lead to his death. Ben’s mum had a choice. The choices were, to keep Ben’s vision or have his eyes removed. Ben’s mum chose to have the doctor operate on Ben’s eyes.

So then, Ben had to live his life without eyes. But Ben discovered a skill called echolocation. Ben Underwood uses sharp clicks using his mouth to see. The sharp clicks bounces off objects and returns back to him.
With this skill, he doesn't need eyes to see, he can use echolocation.

Ben Underwood can move through gaps, hear cars from a far distance,
play basket ball, and can ride a bike without a problem. This unique ability has helped Ben Underwood through the toughest times but he could have had a better life with eyes.

Asian anime hair tutorial

Most asians have awesome and sometimes weird looking hair styles. But I like to keep things spiked and smoothed. To do this, you’ll need tools, most tools are for girls, and those are the tools you're going to need.

The tools you're going to need is a clamp brush. A clamp brush is two brushes together, it thins your hair when you straighten your hair. They can be located in hair salons or chemist if you're lucky.

If there is none located in your area, you can just use a comp or a normal brush.


(Clamp brush looks like this)





You will also need a straightener. this hair tool is pretty easy to find. There location can be found at a hair salon or most warehouses. It simply makes your hair straight. And the last tool is a blow dryer, used for drying your hair after wetting your hair. (optional) You can also use heat protection spray for less hair damage.

What is a smart footprint? A smart footprint is something you’d leave behind. It could be an email you’ve sent or deleted, or a doc thats been published or erased. Either way, you could have a smart footprint, an ugly footprint, or a mean footprint.

Always remember, you never know when someones watching. Think positive and never send anything life threatening or else things could get ugly Unless its not digital.

A teacher or parent can see things you have trashed and deleted, bad things that you’ve trashed will be seen from anyone and can cause a lot of bad things.

Homemade instruments

Explanation of Homemade Instrument





DRUM
Materials Needed:
Milk powder tin
2 milk powder tin lids ( that match)
coloured paper (decoration)
counters
Tools
scissors
sellotape  


Instructions for Homemade Instrument:
  1. [First Instruction]....
1. keep one of the baby milk powder tin lids on the top
2. put some counters(at least 3-5)  on the bottom of the tin and cover the bottom using the other lid
3. Now cover the outside of the baby milk powder tin with some plain paper (to draw on) or coloured paper
4. use objects like two pencils or the bottom of two paint brushes


Explanation of how sound is created: Sound is created by air molecules that travels through air. This simply means (without air there is no sound)
Introduction:
I’m going to explain how my milk powder tin drum instrument works.


Main reason: There are all sorts of drums made from organic material or things often found in houses. My drum is made out of a baby milk powder tin. The reason why I chose this tin can is because of the metal it possesses.
Answering ‘how’...
All you need to use for the drum is objects like pencils or the bottom of brushes to support the sound without using bare hands.


Second reason:
There is a reason why I used two tin lids, its for both top and bottom. The top of the tin has a lid but the bottom doesn't. The bottom is blocked by metal, if I didn't put a lid on the bottom then it would sound like ordinary metal.


Third reason: I put counters on the bottom and covered it with the other lid so that the drum could make a snare sound like a real drum.


Conclusion:
Now you can see how…
Now you see how my drum works, by combining all the materials needed to make a drum, and the sound balances well, now all I need is a band.
