Hot and Cold

Do you know why your teeth chatter when you are cold? Its because are body tries to keep it 98.6 degrees. When your body gets colder than that, your brain gives a message to your muscles to start shivering so it will warm up and your teeth start chattering. 

When you your body is too hot, then your brain tells your skin to start sweating. The sweat cools us off in two ways:

1) It Evaporates and carries the water that got heated from your body and it takes away the heat.

2) When you sweat and the wind starts blowing the sweat it acts like an air conditioner.

When you sweat you lose water so you should keep drinking since our bodies are 60 percent water.

TinTin The Prisoners of the Sun

I'm going to tell you a part that i remembered. it starts when Captain Haddock, Tin tin, and a little boy are going to the Temple of the Sun. They go past a waterfall and the little boy made a rope to get across. The boy went first then Haddock And then Tin tin but when he was about to get across the rope broke and he fell into the waterfall. They were so sad but then they herd a voice. It was Tin Tin and he told them to get the rope tie it to a rock and go into the waterfall. They went in and it was very dark. They went to the end of the underneath of the waterfall Tin Tin found some mummy's. Captain Haddock and the little boy went with Tin Tin. They pushed this heavy rock when it fell down they saw tons of guards and a prince. He said they would die but the little boy wouldn't because he has a medallion so they went in jail. A newspaper that Captain Haddock had to light a fire. Tin Tin read it. It said that there would be an eclipse at 11:00. Tin Tin didn't tell the Captain. When they were going to die Tin Tin said to the gods that the sun would not shine and the eclipse came and it was dark the prince said that he would do anything if Tin Tin would Make the sun rise he could have what ever he wanted Tin Tin said sun rise and the eclipse ended. Tin Tin chose to go home.

Red Rakham's Treasure

Today I read a book called Tintin.

Tintin, Haddock, Thompson and Thompson and Calculus are the main characters.

In my book they are looking for Red Rakham's treasure.

They go on a ship first to go looking for the treasure. Tintin went diving and he found a golden cross and a golden sword. After that Haddock went in and he found some old rum he first drank it all and told Tintin the rest was for him he went back in without his helmet.

Then Tintin went in again and he found something that looked like the treasure. He wanted them to pull him up but a shark came and he ate the thing that looked like treasure.

Tintin found another bottle of rum and threw it at the shark and the shark got drunk. They lifted the shark and Tintin up and they opened the box but there was no treasure inside there was just old documents.

Captain Haddock was sad that they couldn't find treasure when Calculus noticed a cross, so they went to the cross and dug and dug and dug until Tintin said "Why would Red Rakham bury the treasure right at the cross?"

So they went back to the ship and Calculus rebuilt the documents. Tintin saw what Calculus did and so did Captain Haddock and then they read the documents and knew they needed to go back the house that the Captain used to live in. It was for sale so, Haddock wrote on the sign Not For Sale and they went into the basement and found the treasure.
