		<description><![CDATA[When the gray wolf was eradicated from Yellowstone National Park in the 1920s, more was lost than just the noble and fascinating predator. The park&#8217;s entire ecosystem changed. Now, nearly a dozen years since the wolves returned, the recovery of that system to its natural balance is well underway.  In the Valley of the Wolves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Super Scientist
This week we enjoyed learning about ecosystems.  We enjoyed watching Finding Nemo and applying what we have learned about ecosystems: abiotic and biotic factors, habitat, symbiosis, and food webs. We created our own cycle of life by creating food chain from National Geographic magazines.    

A food chain includes plants, or producers, [...]]]></description>

Symbiosis basically means ‘living together&#8217; . These symbiotic interrelationships can be divided into three main categories; Mutualism, when both species involved benefit from the relationship, Commensalism, when one species benefits and the other isn&#8217;t affected, and Parasitism, when one species benefits, and the other is harmed in the process.

Commensalism                              Parasitism                           Mutualism

Wow, its already February (Feb 2-6). Last week we learned that convection currents happen in the mantle due to the molten material. Convection currents are the primary reason that the Earth&#8217;s crust moves. This week we continue with journey to the center to the Earth by talking about sea-floor spreading which was [...]]]></description>
