My Crystal Garden Day 1 Day 2 Day 3

 In science class our assignment was to make our very own garden {not a real one of course} at the end we would put some kind of liquid {solution} on it so it could grow crystals. Today is the second day of growing and to tell you the truth nothing really exiting happened. I put my "seeds" a.k.a liquid on where i wanted to grow them {they can literally grow almost anywhere, rocks water and wood etc.}They are slowly actually really slowly starting to develop and get form on my wood. On some of my friends garden you can see CRYSTALS! Couple of day past and nothing happened to my garden, so i put my rocks a.k.a wood into some kind of liquid that makes crystals. Lets wait and see if something is going to happen. It's been 2 weeks and the crystals in my liquid are in form, they are as big as rocks, its time to end this incredible unit so i have to write a conclusion. One thing that i learned throughout this unit is that crystals need heat and light to grow, if you leave them in a dark and in a small area they won't grow at all. I also learned when you put crystals on something soft it gets harder like sponge. The Best place where my crystals are growing is in the water. This unit was one of the best units we had had but you need to be patient, I have learned a lot
Thank you Mrs. M
Hope You Enjoyed

Dynamic Earth Review



I will be answering a lot of question about natural recourses….ENJOY
In the program Inner Earth I found out that the layers of are earth go in this order {I am starting from the top to the middle of our earth} First there is the earth’s Crust {beneath the earth’s Crust lie a rocky mantle and iron core} then comes the Upper Mantle, Lower Mantle, Outer Core, and finally the inner core. One awesome fact is that the inner core is as hot as the surface of the sun.
 In the program about meteorites I uncovered that meteorites can tell us about the birth of our solar system. Meteorites are the main evidence about clues how the inner earth is made.
In the program about Crystals I found out that Crystals go farm beneath the earth then in the end they move up but not to the surface. Most of the diamonds or Crystals are found in volcanoes or somewhere where there his heat. Crystals get to the surface because in volcanic areas where hot gases meet the cold gasses and deposit crystals.

This Weeks knowledge About Caves

This week I study a little bit about caves and the facts I found where that in a cave it's not cold or hot it's always the same temperature everyday and every night. One more thing I learned while studying was that there are animals who come to caves when its cold or over night, and there are animals who live there their entire life and they don't need eyes to see because they are so used to the dark that non of them even have eyes. There is also this amazing rock called stalagmite, it get's taller inch by inch when water drops splash on it. These are my information about caves hope u enjoyed it.

Gas Is Interesting
In today’s Blog post I am going to answer 2 very importuned questions related to Gas.

The first question starts of like this: What types of measurement are useful when working with gases?
Answer: Well unlike form solid and liquid gas is really hard to measure but one way that came to mind was that you take a box and the volume in it equals to the gas because gas fill every container in other words it has the power to expand.

The second question is: How are volume temperature, and pressure of a gas related.
Answer: Well they are realated to gas because you need all of these elements to find the mass and space of gas or even make it up.

Here are my questions and answers if you disagree tell me why? :p

How to use a pulsar to find Starbucks

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.
Matija d
11/17/10
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
Meera Dolasia
on 11/15/2010
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
