Air Pressure is love.

In class we filled out a diagram about air pressure. Air pressure is consists of water vapor, elevation, and tempeture. At a high altitude there will be less pressure which would have a lower density also. At a lower altitude there will be more pressure which will also create a higher density. Did you know that, the earths atmosphere is pressing against you with a force of 1k per square cm. Also, the air in your body balances out the pressure from outside so your body doesn't get all squished, it stays nice and normal. I thought that this diagram was boring but it taught me a lot so that was a-okay.

Also, this is a picture of a air gauge. It tells you how much pressure is in the item your wondering about.

kites!

In our class when went outside to try to fly the kites we created. You were only allowed to use paper and a string. Something interesting that I found out was that the wind my kite was useing is called local winds. Local winds are from sea breezes and land breezes. Did you know, that our land we stand on heats up faster than the sea during the day. Sometimes at night time there is a time where both land and sea winds are calm because the temperatures are equal. I believe that going outside was very fun. It's pretty cool to go outside and still be able to learn. I would like to go outside for class more often, the beautiful, light, winds help my brain function. ;)

Computer! :)

I think that the computer had the greatest impact on society. The computer stores all your information and provides you with even more with acsses to the internet. The computer showed the world a new way to communicate. Threw e-mail, aim, yahoo, and so much more. At the blink of an eye you can have the wheater posted right on your computer screen. Wanna know what team won in your favorite sport? The computers there for you! It shares information with the world. Thats why i think the computer had the best impact on society.

Pop it! :)

Our class did a lab called "popping fun." This lab consist of vinegar and baking soda. The purpose was to show charles law. Once you poured the baking soda into the vinegar you had to place the cork on very fast or the liquids would just over flow out, i thought that was interesting. Our cap unfortunately had a hole at the bottom of it but that didn't stop it from popping one bit, it still had full force. Something very interesting was that once you combined these two substances and place the cork on top creates a lot of pressure causing the cork to fly off.

Other interesting facts about this lab:
-If you mix these two chemicals together in a plastic bag you can create a bubble bomb.

-When you make a visual of a volcano and you want it to erupt, you can also use baking soda and vinegar to create the reaction.

In my opinion i thought this lab was fun and exciting. Each try we had to succeed the cork to pop off made me more engaged and into this lab. I thought it was cool how my teacher offered us extra credit if we hit the window three times in a row.
MAD RESPECT TREASURE ;)

Flat-out stunning

On Tuesday, January 15th, Apple introduced the worlds thinnest laptop. Steve Jobs the CEO of Apple showed off the MacBook Air during the MacWorld confrence in San Fransisco, California. Many people thought that Apple could not top off the invention of last years iPhone. But yet, they were wrong. This amazing object has the potential to reshape the laptop industry. This MacBook Air weighs exactley three pounds. It is so thin it fits perfectly into a manila folder. This seamless and simple machine is designed so beautiful and modern it could possibly go in the Museum or Modern Art. The price of the laptop starts at $1,799. An item that is just .16 inches thinnest and .76 inches thickest could change a whole revolution.
I believe that this is a very superb invention and that many people are going to appreciate the size of this machine. :)

Mars(:

Just a few days ago on december 18th the planet mars came very close to our planet earth. Mars makes a close encounter with earth every 26 months. Our NASA Hubble Space telescope photographed this beautiful picture and many more. The fabulous planet was just 55 million miles away. Along with mars many other objects came close, such as a very powerful jet that came from a super-massive black hole that must have been blasted in a near by galaxy. All these interesting objects can be seen from here on earth with the help of our Hubble Space Team. I personally believe that this observation is very amazing because it allows us to explore the world of outer space !
