You can see on the before the world it's barren and dead, but after there is greenery and wildlife. I'm going to show it to you on a screencastify. what does the fox say?

awesome oil adobe spark
Oil is in and around our world, even in places you wouldn’t imagine. We use oil for cooking but we also use crude oil. The pumping and transporting of crude oil around the globe often have environmental effects. We have looked at various texts and videos to learn about some of these effects, and it ‘good’ timing as there was a recent oil spill (24 July 2020) in Mauritius that we could investigate.
Check out my video to learn more about oil, and see the simulation we did in class about cleaning oil from water.
What did you learn about oil?

pretty ugly parachutes.
Hi, bloggers this week we made some parachutes to see what design would work best. We had to think like an engineer, we had to imagine, ask, create, and improve. Here is me and my group's work.
first, try
We used String 2 bolts Green fabric cut on corners. We had a fairly big parachute it was 40 cm long and 32 cm wide we made it fairly big because that increases drag, and it will fall slower. We thought that we should add more fabric on the top but we realized that would make it heavier. Our design fell in 1.05 seconds, which isn't very good.
We added more fabric on the bottom of the parachute so it keeps its shape. When falling We saw it fall slower before we changed it fell in 1 sec .5 when we changed it. it fell in 2.00 seconds. We changed it one more time and added more fabric 1.44 it did bad so we took the new fabric off.
