Nothing Lasts Forever… :)

The 33 Chilean miners trapped deep underground have been told they may not be rescued for several months, the country’s health minister has said. Jaime Manalich said the miners, trapped 700m below ground since 5 August, had reacted calmly, AFP news agency said. They will also need to be in shape to be pulled up the 66cm (26 inches) wide shaft that is being bored to rescue them.That may take up to four months to complete.”We were able to tell them… they would not be rescued before the Fiestas Patrias [Chile's Independence Day on 18 September], and that we hoped to get them out before Christmas,” AFP quoted Mr Manalich as saying. Although they took the news calmly, he said, “a period of depression, anguish and severe malaise” was possible.The miners had earlier urged every effort be made to free them by Independence Day.

Well the three things that i’ve learned this year about science are one, i’ve learned alot more that i didnt know before about the human body and how it works, the digestive, reparatory, circulatory systems. Two, i’m not so digusted by the frog disection anymore because ive already done it 2 times and its not that gross. The last thing that i’ve learned this year and is important to know is all the subjects in science, some wheren’t really interesting but i found the human body to be the most interesting so thats what i’ve learned this year so far.

Besides the phone and the wheel and all thoughts thing that we need or else life would be really hard I would say that the best invention ever is the invention of lying. Imagine a world with out lying. I know that its bad to lie but in a lot of situations you need to for example if you don’t like one of your friends and you didn’t know how to lie you would have to go up to her and he like “i hate you”. I saw this in the movie called ”the invention of lying”, there is this woman that goes on a blind date that her parents set up and as soon as she sees the guy she’s like “your fat and ugly” but if they could lie it wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. So many more things that lying is for. All you have to d is not use it for bad.

:):)

If I could choose anything besides that it would either be the phone, computer and wheel or something

“Report cards came in. They were in my hands.”

“Report cards came in. They were in my hands.” I was about to open the glued down flap on the top of the envelope when I heard, “oh my gosh I got 99% as an average!” and she said that in a sad way. I was like “ why are you sad you got a 99%” and she answer “my parents are going to kill me when they see I got a 99% instead of 100%” I stared and walked away from the crazy girl who got an amazing grade.

As I walked away I started o tare up the top the envelope that said “to the parents of Ana Latorre”. Okay now it was open and all I had to do was stick my hand in and pull out around 4-5 papers. I thought about if I should leave them in there or open up and see that grade if it was good or bad. My final decision was to get on the bus and open them. So I started to run to the bus when a teacher said “thank you for walking” I was guessing that meant start walking so I did. Got to the bus. When to the back. Put my backpack on the seat. Got my report cards out. And took out the papers. My eyes went big, real big as I looked at thoughts numbers on the bottom of the column that said quarter 3.

THE END!

Slope is:  a measure of the steepness of a line on a graph; the rise divided by the run.

The slope of my nose is (y=-1.9x)

How I found the slope of my nose:

To find the slope of my nose I had to take a picture with photo booth and then drag the picture from photo booth to my desktop and then open grapher drag it in there. Line up the tip of the nose with the origin and then try different numbers on the top line where it says (y=) until you find the right slope of your nose. Mine is ( y=-1.9x)

This is my Window To The Soul painting, it has about 10 things that I love for example music, the color red, my favorite number and much more.

First we had to sketch things in our notebook things that we really liked, we had to draw around 6 things. When we were all done we had to get a large white piece of paper and draw our face that we had practiced drawing before. After that we put our face on the real paper and started to draw 6-10 things we liked and many different designs to cover the background.

My symbols represent things I like for example spain, smilies, music, the color red and so on. The funnest part about this project was finishing it so you can put it on your room. To me the hardest part was to draw our face free hand because to me thats the ugliest part of the drawing because I don’t like how it ended up, but the rest is fine to me. So basically if I could change anythign i would take out the free hand drawn face and leave the rest on the.

Ballad

I feel really bad

My friend complains like she’s mad

She screams like I did something wrong

And she makes me feel sad

Her pet dog has died

At first I thought it was a lie

She said there was a funeral

So then we both cried

Next day came her birthday

I got her a great cake

She said thank you twice

On the card there were two mice

Now she feels better

She wrote me a letter

She said she was sorry

it said she was greater

Reflection:

This ballad is about how fear affects peoples actions. In this case its about my friend’s dog just dies and she’s feeling bad inside(haha that rhymes :] ) so because he dog died she acting all mean to me. So that’s how being afraid to loose her dog became a part of her actions to be mean to me.

Limerick

It was an extremely dark day

Almost like if it was a Monday

Wind passes my fingers

Feeling starts to come, anger

Turns out it was a Friday

Reflection:

I know that limericks are supposed to be funny but I just could make it funny. So I wrote a limerick about a dark Friday with sadness in the air and wind passing my fingers as I walk.

Acrostic  L-A-B-E-L-S

Labels

Annoying
Brave
Ecstatic
Loser
Soundless

Reflection:

This acrostic is about how people can judge you by where you come from or your religion or who you hang out with, so normally at school there are labels so that’s my acrostic. Labels are annoying, who ever says them is brave, labels are not ecstatic, after everything you feel like a loser, and you feel soundless after being called a label for where you come from or who you are.

Haiku:

It’s a man at work

His Children are at school today

His wife is at home

Reflection:

I think I did kind of bad in this one not because of the haiku but because of the essential question. Anyways this haiku is about a family and what they do almost everyday, children go to school, dad goes to work and mom stays home.

Free Choice (haiku)

Wasting more paper

Save the planet recycle

It’s society

Reflection:

This haiku is about what can cause a society to regress, and I thought it would probably be wasting paper and making our planet worst. So it people start wasting paper in a civilization then I might start all over the world so many things will regress. ( I don’t know if that was all correct grammar, because I didn’t think it was :]  )

Cinquain CCB

Her life

Reflection:

This is a cinquain about Catherine. How she grows though out the book and gets angry a lot but then she starts to care about people and deals with things in a better way.

Feudalism Paragraph:

King, nobles, knights, serfs

The pyramid began with a strong, powerful and loyal king. The king owned all the land. He made grant of land to his supporters. These supporters had to swear an oath of loyalty to the king. They had to have all there respect so that they could become nobles. Nobles are the second down after the king in the feudalism pyramid. They had to provide the king with knights, money, advice and a place to stay while traveling. After that came the Knight, the country was divided into thousands of knights’ fees. Each was supplied with a manor and had to provide one knight to the king. Then at the bottom of the pyramid came the serfs, they had no land they did farming and they worked for the lord/king. That’s the feudalism all together from kings to serfs.

Gummy Bear Lab Report

Purpose

The purpose of this gummy bear lab is to observe the diffusion change and the change in growth. What happens to the gummy bear once you put it in a cup with salt water for around 10-12 hours.

Hypothesis

If a gummy bear is placed in salt water for about 10-12 hours then it will get smaller in size. Because the salt will suck up the water in the gummy bear

Materials

- A gummy bear

-  one cup of water

- A paper cup

-  Two spoons of salt

- Ruler

Procedure

Step 1) Measure the gummy bear ( L,W,H)

Step 2) Place the gummy bear in a cup with water

Step 3) Put two spoons of salt in the cup

Step 4) Leave it for around 10-12 hours.

Step 5) Take it out and measure again

Step 6) See the results and you are done!

Data Collection

Data Analysis 01

Percentage change in volume

Vf x Vi

Vi         = X100

Data Analysis 02

What does this mean? It means that the gummy bear will increase just a bit in size because of the salt water. The salts sucks in the water inside the gummy bear so therefore it gets smaller.

Sources of Error

I should of put more spoons of salt in the cup of water because the normal thing that would of happened was the gummy bear would of got smaller. Mine got just a little bit bigger because I only put 2 spoons.  And I made a mistake in measuring it. I thought that length was also height so I got it wrong.

Data Analysis 03

This is what could of gone wrong:

-There could have been a crack in the gummy

-I didn’t put enough salt

-     the salt didn’t dissolve enough

As part of my investigation if I could do this again I would use a lot more salt and hope that it gets small and hard.  Or maybe try it in soap because I heard that it turns transparent. I would put it in salt, sugar or coke and see what happens next.

Conclusion

The purpose of this experiment was that if I measured a gummy bear and then places it in salt water or around 10-12 hours it would get smaller because of diffusion. When I went to check my gummy it was just a little bigger. I was surprised but It was because I only added 2 small spoons of salt and I should of put a lot more. So my hypothesis was incorrect.  I discovered that gummy bears get bigger in water and they change color in soap. I hope we do this again some other time.
