Best trip I have ever been on

   I love to go on trips, I have been on a few and they were all great, but my favorite trip was going to Atlanta! We went to the Coke factory, the Georgia aquarium, and the CNN center. Let me tell you some more about my favorite trip!

   The first site we visited was the Coke factory! At the coke factory you get to see the history of coke like it's previous mascots and the vendors they used to have. At the end of the tour we got to look around the factory and taste soda's from other country's. After that we got a bottled coke and went through the gift shop, I remember walking through and seeing this awesome mello yellow hat and I had to get it. The coke factory is awesome!

   The second site we visited was the Georgia aquarium! We got to see jelly fish and other cool sea creatures like leafy sea dragon, they have to stay at the same level in the water at all times or they die. We got to see also some land/sea animals too, like penguins and otters. We then headed off to the gift shop, I remember buying a Harry otter tee-shirt and a the otter strikes back mug. The aquarium was awesome!

  The final site we visited was the CNN center.  At the CNN center we got to learn about how they film the news and how they get ready. We got to see the set and where they find news stories and write them. It was really cool to see how they write the news and record it. Then the CNN center was also a mall so we got to go to a cartoon network store and get a fin polar bear hat!

   I love to go on trips and now you know my favorite trip. We got to see the Coke factory, the Georgia aquarium, and the CNN center. Thanks for listening!

There are some very cool things you can do, but today, I'm going to teach you how to make Canadian bacon, It is pretty easy and you can learn in 3 simple steps, you first grease it up, then you cook it, then you eat it with your mouth. Let me tell you some more.

   The first step is to grease it up, it's pretty easy. First you go grab some oil from the kitchen, use vegetable oil for the best effect. Then you go grab a small frying pan and a spatula to cook it up. After you have all that you lather the pan with the oil, so the Canadian bacon will sizzle in the pan and cook just right, after that you set the stove to medium level, so the oil doesn't splash up and burn you. Next we get to cook it!


   The second step is to cook the sweet, tasty Canadian bacon. After you let the stove sit for a while you unwrap the tasty bacon, just look at them tasty juices and the sweet meat, savor it. Then you slap that manly meat onto the pan, watch it sizzle and pop, making your mouth flood with spit. Then, after about a minute, flip the canadian bacon, see the cooked side and it's flavor, it taste so good you can see the flavor, that's right. Then after another minute, you stick it in your mouth.

   The last step is to put, it, into, your, mouth! You take that canadian bacon and stick it right in your mouth, taste the grease and flavor of the pig! Mow down on it in one bite because you just can't wait to eat that tasty bacon. It makes you feel like the true man you are eating half American bacon, enjoy!

   There are some very cool things you can do, but now you know something really cool to do, make canadian bacon, all you do is grease it up, then you cook it, then you eat it with your mouth. Have fun!

   My grandma's house, we come over to see her all the time, and I have a great way to get home. First we will bike, then drive, and finally fly in a small plane. You're probably wondering how we will do all this, so let me explain.

    First to get to my home we would bike. We would bike the first third of the way with our bikes, it would get us some exercise and we would get to look around at the nature and feel the air hitting your face. Also when cars pass by and hit you with a cool breeze when you're sweating it feels great! We would also half way take a detour to Thomas doughnuts and eat some food like a hotdog or shrimp. After eating we would bike a bit more and come to the van our grandpa drove.

   The second thing we would do to get to our house is drive. After reaching the van our grandpa drove we would put out bicycles in the back and hop in, it would be nice to drive a bit after the bike ride and have the air cranked up. We would also be safer inside the van because we have a better chance of getting hit on our bike. Once we reach the small plane we would get out and hop inside the plane.

  The final thing we have to do to get home is ride a small plane. The plane would start up and just go forward on the wheels and never go up. we would start at the front of our apartment complex and move to the gate. It would be awesome because I never have rode in a plane before and I would finally taste plane peanuts! It would be awesome, we would then pass the gates and enter our home.

   Now you know how we would get home, pretty awesome huh? We would bike, then drive, and finally fly in a small plane.

   As with many school traditions field day is one, a day filled with fun and games! If I could host field day we would play capture the flag, zombie tag, and have a nerf war. Let me get a bit more into detail.

   The first thing I would like to do at field day is to play capture the flag. The game is simple,  you have a jail and a flag post, the jail is when people cross the line that is placed in the middle of the field, they are then tagged by a person from the other team and sent to the jail, but someone can come and save them. I think this would be very fun and exiting to do on field day, I always loved CTF. I think I should host a field day.

   The second thing that I think would be cool to do on field day is zombie tag. We always play it out in the field, it's super fun. Basically one person runs around as a zombie and infects other people, the last man standing wins! It would be loads of fun to play with everyone, especially when there is only three or four people left, everyone would love to swarm people and destroy them!

   The final thing I would like to have at field day is a nerf war. Nerf wars are the best, you get to attack your friends and make strategy to destroy the other team. Everyone would bring a nerf gun and split up into teams, they would each have a officer that tells them where to go and gives them orders. We would fight in the woods and build bunkers with ply wood and giant sticks, it would be awesome!


   Field day is a really fun day, but I think that if I hosted it, it would be awesome! Because we would play capture the flag, zombie tag, and have a nerf war.

   School teams, almost every school has a team, it's usually a sport team but I think we need a coding team. I think we should have a coding team because it teaches you problem solving skills, how to use a computer, and how to make programs. Let me tell you some more.

   The first reason why I think we should have a coding team is because coding teaches you problem solving skills. In coding you get tons of problems, the problems could range from one small glitch from a misspell to a huge game breaking bug. You have to fix the mistake, you have to run through your code and find out what's right and wrong, then you have to put the code together like a jig saw puzzle. Making a program is like a huge puzzle and you have to complete the puzzle.

   The second reason have a coding team is because it teaches you how to use a computer. In the near future computers will be pretty much all we use, You will need to know how to use a computer. Computers already do a lot for us and hardly anyone knows a lot about them. If we had a coding team we could learn a lot about how computers work and how to fix them.

   The final reason why we should have a coding team is because it teaches you how to make programs. Ever need a fraction calc or a program to keep up with your pictures? Well a coder can do that with his coding skills. A really great perk of being a coder is that you can make any program you need. It will take some time to make a program, but it's worth it. You could make a few webcam effects in a few days or a big game in a few years.

  Now you know why we should have a coding team. It would be great to have one, because coding would teach us problem solving skills, how to use a computer, and how to make programs.

Science in the movies blog.

   In the movies all you see is cool explosions and special effects,  but really your seeing tons of science happening! There's science in the special effects, pyrotechnics, and the prop's. Lets talk some more about this.

   There are tons of cool science happening in special effects, one of them is the bombs. You must first make some gunpowder, It contains 75% Potassium nitrate, 15% Charcoal, and 10% Sulfur. The sulfur and charcoal act as a fuel, while the potassium works as an oxidizer, You would then find a fuse which could be anything you could light, and there you go! Now you can make a bomb!

   Now pyrotechnics has lots of science happening, Like the fire! Fire typically comes from a chemical reaction with oxygen in the atmosphere and some kind of fuel like wood or dry leave's, but fire just doesn't magically happen just because of air, it first needs to be heated to ignition point.  It then creates volatile gasses, also known as smoke, and as the heats up the carbon atoms rise as well as the atoms of the material it creates light, which is the fire.

  Now we will talk about some of the science in props! Rocks are one thing used for almost every movie, everyone uses rocks big or small. There are three ways rocks can form, the first is when magma rises up from deep underground, it forms igneous rocks. The second way is when sedimentary and igneous rocks are changed dramatically by extreme heat or high pressure underground changes the rocks into something new, they are called metamorphic rocks. The last way is when rocky fragments and sediments are deposited by wind, water or ice, they then cement together after thousands of years and create sedimentary rocks.

   In movies cool science is always happening, and now you know some science things happening! You know about the special effects, pyrotechnics, and the props.
