what i learnt at science

 today the Tuesday the 20th of October 2020 is when I learned about human skeletons and animal skeletons, first, we were doing a recap of what has a skeleton and doesn't like for example a leaf, it has a skeleton the leafs skeletons look a lot like green veins but much smaller and really fragile, now back to the skeleton part of this paragraph, a normal human has 206 bones in there body but those bones are made up into many bones when you are born you are born with 300 bones but you must be wondering how did we lost most of our bones well, the bones fuse together while you are getting older so, for example, our skull is made up into 15 different pieces in our skull so when the baby's brain gets bigger and eventually when the baby gets to teen form the skull with fuse together   detailed-human-skeleton-diagrams.jpg (800×1413) | Skeleton anatomy, Human  body bones, Human bones anatomy

The Greatest of All Time

While there are thousands of talented athletes in the world, there are a small number of individuals who rise to the top of their game and earn the title of G.O.A.T - The Greatest of All Time. One of these is Grandmaster chess player, Garry Kasparov. To become an expert, he practiced for hours every day. According to some scientists, you have to practice a skill for 10 000 hours (about 9 years) in order to become an expert. Wow, that is a lot of practice!

For Garry, this meant training to play chess every day at a special school with special coaches. He was not able to attend regular school and did not have much ‘free’ time to spend with family and friends.

Equal Pay for Equal Work?

Fiao’o Fa’amausili was the captain of the New Zealand Black Ferns, our national women’s rugby team, until 2018. The Black Ferns have been a very successful team, winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times. Wow! Despite this success, the Black Ferns have only recently become ‘professional’ rugby players who are paid to play rugby. Although they are paid, the Black Ferns make less money than members of the men’s professional rugby team 

What do you think about this? Is it fair? Should female athletes, 

like the Black Ferns, be paid the same amount as male athletes who play the same sport?
