The story "Wooden Bowls" is extremely touching and teaches an amazing life lesson. This taught me to always be there for your loved ones, whatever the situation may be. Never ignore or neglect your family or friends, especially when they are in need of help. This greatly applies to elderly family members. This is because you should always to your very best to make their lives the best they can possibly be because you never know when their last day will come. I can relate to this story because I had a family member who had recently passes away and i regret not spending more time with him and i wish that i made an effort to see him more often.
When connected to C.A.R.E.S, I would label "Wooden Bowls" as cooperation, self-control and empathy. I think that it connects to cooperation because in order to live a happy life, you have to be able to cooperate with people. In this story, the son and the daughter-in-law of the grandfather had to cooperate with him and help him out when he ate dinner. They also had to use self-control and not get all worked up, and yell at the old man when he spilt milk or dropped a plate or fork. As they say, don't cry over spilt milk. "Wooden Bowls" also connects to empathy because before you judge someone, you should always put yourself in their shoes and walk a mile. In the story, the parents soon realized what they were doing to the old man and how they were treating him and thought about how they would someday be old and frail and would hate to be treated like that.

Science Holiday Break Homework
To check out where i recieved my infromation, click here
While I was reading "What is heredity?", I learned many interesting things. I learned that every child receives half of their chromosomes from there mom and the other half from their dad. This happens when a sperm cell and an egg cell join to create a single cell called a zygote which has 2 sets of chromosomes as well. I learned that out body contains of 2 sets of chromosomes. Each set contains 23 chromosomes so in all we have 46 of them. In addition, I learned that each parent contributes one set of chromosomes. However, the child must receive exactly one of each chromosome.
While I was reading "What is a trait?", I learned that there are different types of traits like physical traits, behavioral traits, and medical traits that people may inherit from there parents. Examples of a physical trait would be hair color, eye color, or height. An example of a behavioral trait is the way you act or your personality. In addition, you may inherit a disease from your parents such as cancer. Not only do your parents effect you traits but the environment does so as well. For instance, the sun may change the color of your skin or your hair. Also, you can change the behavior of a dog, depending on how it is trained. To add on to the information I have taken in, I learned what homozygous is. Homozygous is having two of the same allele for a trait. An example of this would be if two parents had a hitchhiker thumb, then the child will have them too because the parents alleles are the same.
