What if you want to go to your grandma’s house and you have no clue where it’s located in, of course that you’re going to use the our fancy GPS, but I have to tell you something, the GPS doesn’t get you to Jupiter. Scientists have been working on finding out how pulsar can show and track everything in space without laying a signal touch of technology on it. They sow that it works by giving radio blimps. This new fact is very useful for astronauts because whenever they miss read something or something happens that they go off course the pulsar will just send them back on their long trip and we have ro pray to god that they will have a nice flight into space {cause remember no one can hear you scream in space.} If you personally ask me I would say that this new discovery is really helpful to a lot o people because it stops pollution and not only astronauts and it also is a good GPS.

                  Experiment With Worm Goo.

Today in are awesome but serious {yeah right} science lab we had one of the most amazing experiments ever, we made worm goo. This weird but not harmful mixture was so fun to play with, and it had the same properties as corn starch.  Water & solid. When you held it it was soft and watery at the same time and when it dries out it just becomes a string because it is plastic. When you tried to squish it you couldn’t unless you took a really thick piece. It’s made by water and calcium chloride, because it is plastic and not hard plastic it’s flexible. As you can see our science teacher {Mrs. M} is the best science teacher ever and in her class we learn and have fun at the same time.

    Can Gold Cause Trees to Turn in to Streetlights

Do you think that it’s such a crazy idea to turn trees into

Streetlights? If you really what to know more about this topic your probably asking your self  “How can trees take the jobs as streetlights,” well, I am going to share that right now. The nano gold particles{in gold} is almost like green energy which can turn trees into streetlights. A team of scientist led by Yen-Hsun Su a scientist form China Taiwan has taken LED {the thing that is in street lights} and not only is it really expensive it is also quite toxic. For this amazing life changing experiment he {Yen-Hsun Su} infused sea urchin shaped nanoparticles of gold inside the leaves of a Bacopa Caroliniana plant. Although this idea is really cool and smart and wealthy it has some issues like every winter the leaves fall and because of that it’s a problem to bringing this idea to life.

Here is the image of what it look like

         How Pumpkins Get Surprised

 By Alexandra Witze for Science News
November 3, 2010

Have you ever dreamed of seeing a pumpkin that’s as big as a full grown man and weighs much but when I say much I mean much more than a human? Well scientist found out that the “Great Pumpkin” actually exists, and not only that but scientist also found out what causes happen so that the pumpkin gets so much bigger than his actual form. For a pumpkin to get bigger the guard needs to get bigger therefore increasing its stress. “Their weight generates tension, which pulls cells apart and accelerates growth,” says David Hu a mechanical engineer from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. This pumpkin was found in the Guinness world records, it was so popular because it weighs 1,810.5  pounds. As you can hear {and see in 3 seconds} this is a very very big pumpkin and it deserved to go in the Guinness world records.    

    

       

Here is the Pumpkin being lifted from the ground, and as you can see it as big as a person and much heavier than him

 A bike helmet that won’t destroy your look

1O/31/2O10

Jaanki Dave

Have you ever wanted a helmet that matches your clothes or that doesn’t ruin your hair {especially you girls?} Well two girls which names are Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin are working on a project to do just that. This idea was not unveiled recently infact it was first brought up in 2005. This idea was so well thought and designed that it was featured in the vogue magazine. This unbelievable helmet works when a cyclist hits something or gets hit a airbag pops up and covers his head. If you are asking yourself where does the airbag go well I’ll tell you. Its wraped around your neck like a scarf and there are many many colors and they could match perfectly with your clothes, it may be switched off when not needed. Although the helmet sounds and looks cool there has to be some improvements. One thing the two girls {geniuses} are working on improving is when a rider makes a physical move it could send a false warning to the helmet. But does that make it any less attractive…no. I know your probably drooling and want to go to the stores and buy this right know but it’s not in stores yet.

I hope you enjoyed
