                                                  Flying like a Bird
Did you ever dream of flying, soaring into the air like a bird. No engine just hands and feet. Well Todd Reichert an engineering student from the University of Toronto did just that. He made a weird looking plane with pedals and something else to control the wings. Todd Reichert said it wasn’t easy flying the plane. He had one year of training to make his arms and legs stronger to control the plane. It took him 4 years and 30 students to make the plane successfully. Todd Reichert flew the plane for 19.3 seconds covering the distance of 145 meters at an average speed of 16mph.the plane costs $200,000 .That’s a lot of money just to buy one plane. This plane of course is not going to be used for transport but is most likely going to spend its days at an aviation museum. As you can see there are amazing new discoveries and the dream of many people {to fly} could actually be.

                                   Spray on Fashion
Spray on fashion is basically cotton, wool, acrylic,linen and manufactured fabrics put in a can so you can spray it on someone and make your own original designs. The geniuses who made this were. Manel Torres a Spanish designer and a English professor of particle technology, Paul Lukham.With this new invention you can wear a different t-shirt to school every day and plus it is your design so you can make in color as well.How thrilled would you be to know that every morning you are going to design your own t-shirt. Manel Torres also believes that his new design is also going to be used for spraying on bandages that wouldn’t irritate the wound, so it could be used for more things than just fashion. The things you make can also be washed like any other clothing. But you can see that this unbelievable design is not out yet, because it has some minor problems like it smells, and there is an issue of snugness for some people. But it’s not going to be long before we can spray on your own clothes.

One similarety is on mass all of the elements have a definite mass.
One pattern is that on heating it goes from highest to lowest which means that gases expend really larg but solid dosen't.
Every one of them can be compressable but some are easier then others.

What i know about Matter

I found out that using some of are 5 senses {see,touch,and smell} we can find out were matter is.I also found out that without elements {matter} the world couldn't exist

Science Goals

My Goal for science is to be more skilled with chemicals and other science things, including how to make different materials.
