Teacher/Student Basketball

the girls lost and the boys both lost to the teachers. i wasn't really paying attention though, because i was sitting by Lindsay and Nick. it was really funny, but Lindsay was all mopey because one of her friends is moving away. but nick brightened her spirits, and mine.

jonas <3 project blog 11/19-23/09

11-19 we got the material today for our question. material: glass beaker, glass test tube, heater, and test tube molder.
first we set up the barometer with water.
-we plugged the heater's plugger.
-we waited for like fifteen minutes. the water in the test tube started going down little by little.
we totally got surprised because it went against our hypothesis. (we thought the water line was going to go up.)
then we started seeing vapor.
we realized the water particles were evaporating! :O
-since class was almost over we turned the heater off but drew a line on where the water was at the moment in the test tube.
-...it was also bubbling. :)
and they were moving fast!!

11-20
the next day the water went up a little in the test tube. maybe because the air cooled down.. :)
mr. kruse put sand in the beaker because it was "bumping" on the heater. :O
there was foam stuff in the test tube toward the top; the water was at the bottom of the tube.
raul said there was a rainbow at the bottom of the beaker, probably because of the sand. waves are starting to come at the bottom.
hypothesis from bubble explosion war: they're trying to evaporate.
-bubbles at bottom are exploding.the water level has gone down.

11-23
today we began typing the final report. :O
Raul and David are doing data and analysis. Kailey and I are doing introduction.

The Graph

That graphing assignment you gave us was pretty hard but i finally got it figured out.

now, i'm in reading! i love using computers in class!

I'm in science class

Test 9-17-2009

The test today in scinece wasn't that hard Mr. Kruse. But I took the B Test, so maybe the A was harder. It was like name the difference between theory and law. We spent a whole day on that.

Random Trivia- TV

• Jerry Stiller was in both Hairspray movies: in the 1st he was Mr. Turnblad, in the 2nd he was Mr. Pinky.

• The Simpsons have had 440 episodes.

TV2

ok now i was just watching scrubs and JD just brought up Occam's Razor. Cool.

TV

I’m watching ghost hunters on scifichannel, and the guy wants them to conduct a scientific experiment to find out if the place is haunted. that is completely against what we learned in sci. class. Ghosts are supernatural, which is above nature, and this guy wants a scientific study done? HELLO! Science studies nature! Oh My Garnet! OK I’m done venting- for now.

Suessical

OMG!
I just got home from the auditions and my throat has been sore since 3:00.
it hurts so much. i totally messed up my audition, Why did i have to audition with Nick? he rox and with my throat i sounded like bird who squaked! :( i hope i get to be a who at least. i certainly wont get gertrude. :'(

finished (almost)

So, we were supposed to write about what we did over this past week. it was super hard.

Separately, on an unrelated note I'm going to try out for suessical. there is another thing to wish me luck on. :-)

Day 5

It's magic! (Almost.) Mr. Kruse told us that he left them outside, and over the night gremlins snuck into them. They are inside of a harness, which (I guess) makes noise. We had a huge discussion on how we know when, or if, things are real. It got a little to deep. For example, "how do we kow this table is real," "how do we know that we do live on another planet and this all a dream?" Freaky. The assignment is now to write about what we did over the week. So, wish me luck.

Day 2

ok,now i have a new theory. there is a very small string inside and it pulls tha oppisite string in whenever the other one is pulled. ( again, just a theory) :)

Tube Projects~Day 1

today mr. kruse showed us some sort of tubey thing. its made of pvc pipe and rope. my theory is that there is some sort of ailien inside of it, just kidding. i think that there is a string inside of the tube connecting all of them, probably more than one.
