A Trip to California Academy of Sciences By: Akash

      Do you like science?  Well if you do, then California Academy of Sciences is the place for you.  In this place you can learn lots of science.  There are many exhibits, such as the Albino Alligator exhibit.  This alligator has white skin but it is blind.  The museum has put fish, two other alligators, and a few turtles along with the albino alligator.  There will be one or two people standing there telling you about this reptile.  

     Another exhibit is the rainforest.  It displays butterflies, birds, plants such as Venus flytrap, fishes, frogs, chameleons, snakes, etc.  The rainforest is in a big dome in the middle of the building.  It has multiple floors that tell you about the different levels in the rainforest.   The bottom floor gives you the feeling that you are on the bottom floor of the rainforest.  In the second floor, you can see a lake filled with fish, and there are descriptions of butterflies.  In the canopy, you can see birds, butterflies, frogs, etc.

            Every time I go there, something new happens.  One time, they had an incubator full of chicken eggs.  We even got to see a chick hatch!  Also, another time there was a man made snake filled with lots and lots of wires.  The snake was huge!  They made it with lots of little scales.  While you are there, don’t forget to visit the planetarium and the aquarium.  I highly recommend visiting the California Academy of Sciences.

 The Newest Video Games

By:Anish Gupta

Did you ever sit and wonder about the newest video games that recently came out in California?  Here is some info about the newest video games.

The most recently made video games are fantastic, in my opinion.  69% of the people in America play video games.  Did you know that?  That's one big number, don't you think?  I am a huge gamer, which means I play a lot of video games.  I would play almost anyone I know and beat them in almost every video game that I like playing.  Some of the newest video games are:  Epic Mickey,  which is about when Mickey(the one from the classic cartoons known as, Mickey Mouse") enters a secret world named Wasteland.  Wasteland is where all the forgotten Disney characters go, including Mickey's long lost brother, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.  Wasteland is captured by evil forces called blots, and Mickey is the only one that can save Wasteland.  His weapon is a paintbrush that can shoot thinner, to thin stuff out that have been painted, and paint, that paints stuff that has been thinned out with thinner.  Another game is Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension the Video Game.  This game is based on the hit movie, Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension.  The game is about when Phineas and Ferb travel to an alternate dimension.  In this dimension, the trying-to-rule villain named Dr. Doofenshmirtz(the same one from the series) is the ruler of the Tri-State Area(same place in the series, so pretty much, the movie is almost the same thing as the series)  Phineas and Ferb see the duplicates of themselves and their family and friends in the alternate dimension.  Phineas and Ferb have to try to get home by defeating Dr. Doofenshmirtz.  Another game is Disney Universe.  Suit up, team up, and level up as you battle your way through different based the animated movies and series.  Dress up your avatar in different wardrobes and costumes.  Battle or team up with other players.  Avoid the items that will slow you down. These are some of the newest games that have recently come out in U.S.  Please answer these  two questions.
