History 4 Lesson 20
The Christan monks were able to help preserve and restore civilization after the Roman empire collapsed by using inventions. Three of the inventions are the water wheel, cam and the trip hammer. The monks used these inventions to crush ingredients to make beer. The water wheel was turned by water in a creek or stream, or a river which turned the shaft. The cam was attached to shaft and activated the trip hammer and it crushed the ingredients to make the beer. They started making beer because the water had germs in it and therefore they said it was not healthy to drink.
My favorite invention is the water wheel. One of my favorite things that the water wheel does is that Egyptians used it to irrigate fields. The water wheel had buckets on it the buckets scoped up the water and dumped into a well where the water ran to different ditches in the field. Another use for the water wheel is it is used in gran mills and a trip hammer. And that is why my Favorite invention is the water wheel.

Rough Draft of English 5 lesson 25
What I like about where I live is that I live on a ranch and that there is lots of room to play and explore me and my dogs love to run up and down the hills and spy on that cats then run away from the cats and sometimes the cats would catch us but all the time. I used to live in a place with a little fenced in yard I mostly stayed inside instead of outside because there was not much to do. We only have one neighbor but the live somewhere else that is just their land so I guess you can say that we really do not have a neighbor. I also like the fact that is so quiet well … kind of if you like the sound of cattle, horses ,cats, dogs, chickens oh my. Especially the dogs at night and the coyotes.

Tools
New technology had a great impact on architecture. Less man power was needed after cranes were made. People could build bigger and more complex buildings with the invention of the crane. Cranes could lift heavy materials to make taller and bigger buildings like the skyscrapers.
The invention of lighthouses improved conditions for sailors to get to the ports safely and for more sea trade. Lighthouses provided landmarks for sailors and they helped them look out for rocks so they don’t sink their ships. Before lighthouses there was no visible landmarks and at night sailors could not see the rocks until it was too late. Bigger ports were made and cities became wealthier because of the sea trade that lighthouses made possible.
As you can see increased technology allowed for bigger buildings and helped increased trade and made bigger and wealthier cities.
History 4 lesson 10
Military Inventions
As armor improved so did the swords. Swords needed to improve because armor became heavier and harder to penetrate. The hilt improved by making it where your hands where more protected in battle. During the making of the sword they would put a groove in it making it lighter but still have all of its strength.
Ships improved by using oarsmen instead of sails. At first they used only one row of oarsmen in battle. Then they decided that they should add another row of oarsmen. And so they added another row of oarsmen and went into battle they thought that was good so after that they added another row. This made them more mobile instead of relying on the wind. They had a copper ram at the front of the ship that was below sea level.They used that to ram other ships and them open or put a hole in the ship so the water would come through and sink the ship.

My Favorite Thing To Do!
My favorite thing to do is ride horses. When we ride horses we always end up putting some cattle back in the pasture. Another thing that we do is brand cattle we gather all of the cattle and separate the calves from their moms and we brand them then we put them back with their moms. While we brand if they are a bull calf we make them into a steer by removing their testicles and we put the testicles in a zip lock back so dad can breed and fry them and they are so good. We all call them calf fries or rocky mountain oysters. If they are old enough we wean them and take them back to the house. Weaning them means that we take them from their moms because they are old enough to eat hay instead of drinking milk.
There is another thing that I love to do on horse back and that is rodeo. Rodeo is fun there are so many events in rodeo like team roping, steer daubing, lead lined, barrel racing, flag race, poles, goat tying.
So I guess that you can say as long as horses are involved I’m there.

Refrigerator Cheesecake
What I would like to make at the end of food science is a refrigerator cheesecake. The ingredients for this family favorite are as follows : Crust: Honey nut chex or cinnamon chex, butter, sugar and ground pecans. The filling for this super simple cheesecake are the following, cream cheese, eagle brand milk, lemon juice and vanilla.
We try to only make it on special occasions but sometimes we just want some cheesecake and we make one any way.
I can encourage others to experience this delicious cheesecake by giving a demonstration to my 4-H club.
History 4 Lesson 5
Holding a cyclical view of time can make someone pessimistic about the future for many reasons. They think that the world came from chaos to order and back to chaos, thinking that there was no point in doing anything to make their life better and that there was no point in making inventions. They thought that it was hopeless to leave a legacy for their children.
After the birth of Christ the western civilization tended to think of time as linear, which has a beginning, middle,and an end. They made inventions to make their life easier and improving life for their children. Future generations can build on past technology and inventions.
By improving life, inventions, and technology a person can increase their capital. Capital could be in the form of money, land, or labor. Inventions make things easier, faster and they can help you get work done on time.
Having a cyclical view of time as opposed to a linear view of time leads to less inventions and less advanced technology. This is because of the feeling the advancement is pointless because cycle from chaos to order and back to chaos.
