Summary:
        There are lots of different kinds of birds and lots of these birds will eat different things. There are some bird that will drink nectar and eat things like insects and arachnids. Some examples of these birds are like sun birds and hummingbirds and they tend to have longer and thinner beaks for getting and drinking the nectar along with catching small insects. There are also birds that will eat meat from rodents, reptiles, any small animals and other birds. Some examples of meat eating birds are like hawks and falcons and to catch and eat their prey the usually have larger claws and then their bears are short and thick. There are other birds that will eat things like fish, algae and sea life and these are birds like flamingos. Did you know that flamingos are born a grey or white kind of color and they turn pink with the things they eat? There are also some cool birds like kingfishers that will eat anything and kingfishers usually eat fish but they can eat things like insects, reptiles or anything else that they can catch.

S&EP: SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information
        For a little while me and my partner Audrey have been researching about birds and then we had to make a presentation and evaluation for our class. We had to go and teach the class about our topic which was birds diets and what helps them to get and eat their food. For our lesson we started out by having a do now that would ask them to name a bird and what it does or what you think it eats. For the next part we presented about some birds and their diets and when we were done we let people go get their computers. After everyone had their computers they got into kahoot.it and after everyone was in we started the kahoot. The class did mostly good and some questions we had on their were what do kingfishers eat and also what birds will eat other birds. Over all teaching the lesson was fun bit it was also hard with the nerves and keeping the class quiet.

Summary:
        Stress is something that is rarely good and it is mostly good for things like presentations and things to help give you a quick burst of energy but stress can be very bad for your brain. There are studies that show too much stress can actually lead to you having brain shrinkage and it` makes it so that it is hard to focus and it is hard to remember things. It can also make it so that you have stomach pains and too much stress can also eventually lead to depression and even Alzheimer's. Some ways that yo can help with stress is breathing deeply and focusing on breathing and talking to people like therapists and councilors. You can also exercise and journal your thoughts to help with you getting over stress.

S&EP: SP2: Developing and Using Models:
        After we did our research and learned more about stress, its side effects and how you can help to get rid of it we created a info graphic about stress. For the info-graphic we had to have at least 3 of the side effects of stress and have at least 3 ways to help with getting rid of it. For our person we pointed to the place that is causing it or mostly being effected and then we wrote down some of the things that we found in all of our research. The effects of stress that we decided to put is anxiety/ PTSD, Alzheimer's, brain shrinkage, fast heart beat and stomach pains because they are some of the effects that stood out most to us. The ways to help with stress that we put was exercise, journalism(writing thoughts down), talking to people like a therapist and deep breathing like meditation.
