Food - Porridge
Scotland is famous for one very in particular and that is porridge. The ingredients are 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 1 pinch of cinnamon, 1/2 cup of cold milk. You prepare it by heating up a pan or pot on medium. Combine oats, water, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat and let it simmer till the liquid is gone. Stir frequently. After that is done take you're porridge and pour or scoop it into a bowl. When it is in the bowl pour on top about 1/2 of milk , also add a little sprinkle of cinnamon just to top it off. If you like you can add any type of extras like bananas, apples, etc. Make sure goldilocks doesn't come into your house and eat it !

Scotland Exports
Scotland has a lot of exports. They usually transport agricultre in Scotland but theres one special thing that they trade because it is such a beautiful animal and it has many good things about it. That animal is a Lamb. They are usually produced at the farms of the Scotts. Not everyone can handle them though. The things that are so good about them are, They produce a lot of different things like wool and cotton. They also keeps the Scotts healthy by giving them food. They give food such as meat and lamb chops (a different type of meat). Another thing that people don't realize is that Lamb costs a lot of money. So when they export it a lot it keeps Scotland wealthy. The Country that they transport there Lamb to a lot to are most of Asia and Japan. The reason why they export it there is becuse that they can't keep them in a good healthy and right habitat /environment like the Scottish people can today. Asia and Japan pay a lot of money for these lamb. A while back the lamb was worth a lot more then they are today. Now people just forget about them.

Flag History, origins, colours, and more!
The colours of the Scotland flag are blue and white. Blue meaning vigilance, truth, loyalty, perseverance, and justice. White meaning peace and honesty. The cross also has a back round story to it. The Romans were threatened by Andrew ( st. Andrew ). So they got they got the wrong idea among the people. So they wanted to crucify him. Andrew felt he wasn't as good as Jesus so he wanted a different cross. That exact cross ended up on the flag today. The cross isn't just called the cross, some people call it the saltire.

How did the wheel help us today?
The wheel helps us so much for moving objects from place to place. Most of the inventions now a days need to have a wheel in able for it to work. Some of the things that we use today that have with wheels are cars, trucks, planes, bicycles, elevator, wagon, game shows like the wheel of fortune, strollers, most of our everyday life. The wheel still does the same basic stuff as it did back then but it's now more improved and efficient. Most wheels are used as pulleys. People today use the wheel so much. Myself personally would not be able to live without the wheel. What would happen if the wheel was never invented ? How would we function in this life today ? This is a gift that the Mesopotamians gave to us. Could you drive your car to work ? No, because the wheels are what move the car. You would have to walk, EVERYWHERE. No planes, cars, bikes, busses. Another thing that we use wheels for is pay money how do the credit card machines work with out a scanner that is moved by a wheel scan our card or swipe it? We should take thanking the Mesopotamians into a bigger theory because no one really understand how useful it is to us.
Look at the samples below. They would not have been able to make the new wheel without some other wheels in the invention. Some poeple don't understand that the wheel up grading is a new invention, every time.

How did the wheel help the Mesopotamian's ?
The wheel would help Mesopotamian's transport things. 3500 BC was the year that the wheel was invented sadly the inventor of the wheel is unknown, Scientist have been trying to figure it out for many, many years. It was the root of the Industrial Revolution. They found it very useful. The wheel didn't start out for transporting. The wheel was first used to make pottery. It took 300 years for it to become a way of transportation. The first wheel was made out of clay. There were people that would work all day making new wheels because they would wear out very quickly. The Mesopotamian's felt very proud of their invention and used it a lot. The wheel was used as another resource as well. They were also used as pulleys to get water from wells. The Mesopotamians did not just use the wheel they treasured it. The wheel was first used for pottery makers as the pottery wheel of course and then moved to farms, then to trading.
