Bible
\n<\/strong>We read a devotional that talked about helping around the house.  We read Luke 22:7-13
\nand discussed how the disciples helped Jesus prepare for the Last Supper.<\/p>\n

The Last Passover Luke 22:7-13<\/strong>
\nOn the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
\nAnd He sent two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"’ "And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there."   The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover. <\/p>\n

We read Eyes on Nature: Sharks
\n<\/strong>Here are new things we learned about sharks….<\/p>\n

39 of the 350 species of sharks are over 10 feet long.<\/p>\n

Nurse sharks sleep on the bottom of the ocean in piles of up to 40 members.<\/p>\n

No one knows how long a shark lives.  Most anticipate 30-100 years.<\/p>\n

Plankton  <\/em>is a mix of plants and tiny shrimplike creatures that the larger sharks eat.<\/p>\n

Bottom dwelling sharks eat crustaceans <\/em>(crabs and lobster) and mollusks (<\/em>clams, mussels, oysters)<\/p>\n

Migrate-<\/em>traveling longs distances.  Some sharks migrate thousands of miles.<\/p>\n

The oil in the sharks liver is lighter than water.  This helps the shark float.<\/p>\n

Sharks are cold blooded;<\/em> their blood changes temperature as the water changes temperature.  But a few sharks have a special heat system that keeps their blood warmer than the others.  They are called "WARM BODIED".  <\/em>Sharks that have this are the Great White, Thresher, Salmon, Porbagle, and 2 kinds of Mako.<\/p>\n

The jaws of the shark is the most powerful on earth.<\/p>\n

Scientists can tell the shark species by their teeth or their bite marks.<\/p>\n

A shark can go through 7-12 sets of teeth in one year.<\/p>\n

Dogfish are pregnant for 2 years. (Glad you are not a dogfish, Liz, Megan, Julie, and Alyssa? :))<\/p>\n

Sharks typically attack where there are alot of people in warm, waist deep water. (They speculate that this is because the motion in the water resembles schools of fish). (Leigh’s note: This contradicts what the other book said.  The otherr book says to swim with others because the shark is less likely to attack a group.)<\/p>\n

Divers can wear a steel mesh suit which can help againt shark bites.<\/p>\n

The Mako shark is the fastest shark  at 43mph and can leap out of the water.<\/p>\n

Rays are the closest relative to the shark.  They are pretty much sharks flattened out.<\/p>\n

Shark skin is 100% stronger than cowhide.<\/p>\n
