 * //wonder questions//**


 * How big is your stomach? || .as big as fist when empty

.acts like elastic

.expands each time you eat

.cant blow up you would barf

.adults stomach holds 1-4 L

.childs stomach holds less than adult

Your stomach is the size of your fist when empty, but once you eat, it expands. Your stomach is like elastic, that's why it expands similar to a balloon in some ways. When you blow it up and blow it up then let the air out (many times) it will expand and you will eat more and more. An adults stomach can hold up to about one liter of food and can expand to hold about four liters of food. A child's stomach holds less than an adult's stomach. Your stomach can't blowup, explode or burst, You would just throw up instead. ||
 * Why does a firefly glow? || .luciferin+luciferice+oxygen=firefly's light

.males fly and glow to females

.females cling to trees or stay in grass and glow

.light attracts mates and warns preditors to stay away

Fireflies glow to attract a mate. The males fly and flash a light pattern to the females that either lay in the grass or cling onto a tree. The fireflies stay away from predators. This also warns the predators that the fireflies are not a very tasty meal. Oxygen mixes with luciferin (a chemical) and lucifurice (another chemical) in cells on the firefly's rear.

**//__A FUN FACT: A FIREFLY IS ACTUALLY A BEETLE, AND NOT A FLY!__//**

 * Which is better, hand sanitizer or soap? || .wash hands before use of sanitizer

.alcohol is in hand sanitizer

.hand sanitizer can't kill/lift off dirt, blood

.hand soap is better

Washing our hands with soap and water lifts dirt and germs off the top of our hands and washes them away. When soap and water are not available, the next best thing is hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizers kill germs. Hand sanitizers will not get through dirt, blood and other grimes to kill germs. These must first be washed or wiped off before using hand sanitizer. Another important fact to think about is that alcohol is applied to the skin when you use hand sanitizer. Alcohol has a drying effect when applied to the skin. Always follow up with lotion after your skin has dried. Water and Hand Soap is better than hand sanitizer- if you dont have hand soap, hand sanitizer is the next best thing. ||

M&M's are based on Smarties from Britain. Soldiers, during the Civil War, ate chocolate pellets that were covered in sugar to prevent chocolate from sticking to their fingers. After the rights were purchased by Americans Forrest **Mars** Sr. and R. Bruce ** Murrie ** in 1939, they had to reintroduce them to the domestic market with a different name because there was already a candy product sold in the U.S. under the name Smarties.
