Now yes you can put more than 1 teacher in the rooms but if you think about it teachers have to plan there classes and what they are going to do for the rest of the week , and some teachers dont have time because they have other things they need to do after school and in school. Like what if a teacher got sick the other teacher would be by its self with all those kids . Some kids should do this because they never have or never had experience with this type of stuff and some kids will try and take advantage to this and only do it to get out of doing other stuff, thats why i think this is not a good idea ,

The "Face on Mars" has became a pop icon, it has starrd in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows and even haunted grocerys tore checkout lines for 25 years. Its the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West. " It reminds me the morst of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."

When, NASA unveiled the image for all to see, the caption noted a "huge rock formation, which resembles a human head, formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth." The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. Though, When Mars Global Surveryor flew over the Cydonia for the first time, Michael and his Mars Obiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting, revealing a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all For example: As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size." "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see where they were." The picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West.

venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide that is covering the planet. In paragraph the the author also states that venus is on average 800 degrees Fahrenheit, that is hotter than mars and mars is the closest planet to the sun. The author also states that the atmosherpic pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on earth. If the earth had that muh atmospheric pressure than there would be no one left on this planet because that is so much pressure that it can crush a submarine. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes to land on its surface.

how we can solve the high pressure and high temperature.

Conclusion: i think that mona lisa probably was a hard picture to face scan because there were so many differnt copys of the original paintning but im pretty sure the real painting is in a museum heavinly gauarded by people with heavy artilllery and grenades and army men with truck but inconclusion if your a great painter do your best because one day u might a famouse painter like Leanardo da Vinci or bettter

As Dr. Huang says in paragraph 4 "the facial expression for each emotions are universal," "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression." and that you can also reproduce a smile is weird ( I never knew that was a thing).But yea FACs can show you what your mood(s) are in a picture just by scanning your facial parts. Muscles called orbiculariaris make crows feet around your eye, but in a false smile. the mouth is strectched sideways using zygomatic major and a different muscle, the riorius. So all the muscles can get the coding to scan your face and it'll tell you the percentage of the mood that you are in whether you're sad, mad, happy, bored, it will tell you all of that jazyy stuff.
