My group and I were working on a presentation! It was about water pollution! We presented in front of 2nd graders! In the presentation we had a Scratch game, a water model, and a sorting game! I was in charge of the Scratch game. You had to catch the trash before it hit the bottom of the lake! The person with the highest score won! The water model showed the kids what happens if you put chemicals in your yard like pesticides or drop motor oil. In the sorting game you had to sort the types of tra...

PUERTO RICO WAS SO FUN! I loved the Manatee Rehabilitation Center! I got to feed a baby manatee and an adult manatee! It was so cool! I would love to work there. My favorite part of the Manatee Rehabilitation Center was touching the manatee! The manatee's skin felt like an elephant's skin. I learned that manatees are endangered in Puerto Rico but not in Florida.
On our Puerto Rico trip, I also liked Palomino Island! It was so fun! The water was clear! I went snorkeling with some of my classmat...

The rocks were very pretty in the canyon and they were a dark rusty red color. We went in a little cave in the Palo Duro Canyon wall. the cave was very dark and had large rocks in it. It was cold in the cave. We climbed to the top of the cave. It was so amazing! After we hiked in the Palo Duro Canyon, we went to a restaurant. It ...

We are going to make a boat! Our school is entering a boat making challenge. You can only use duct tape and cardboard! You also have to make your boat look like the USS Tulsa ship! My group and I are starting off with making oars. We are going to use thick cardboard rolls for the handle of the oar; we are going to use 2 layers of thick cardboard for the blade (end of oar) and a few layers of duct tape so it does not get wet. When we start our boat, we are going to use 3/2 layers of cardboard and...

We made a better design still using cardboard. It was a rectangle that was a little bit slanted to catch the wind. We tested the blades, and they WORKED! It caugh...

Thursday... We started to go to the wind turbine farm. On our way up we saw a bunch of wind turbines. We saw a huge blade bigger then a bus! We learned that wind turbines need an angle, so it can make energy. After the wind turbine farm, we started to drive to the Wichita Mountains. When we got to the wildlife preserve we saw prairie dogs, buffalo, longhorns, and much more! We visited the Parallel Forest too. After the wildlife preserve, we when to Mount Scott. We looked at all the big boulder...

Monday...We were so excited! This week was the Tulsa Roller Coaster contest! We could not wait! All though it was exciting, it was very hard too. We chose our the theme to be jungle related. So my team and I sprayed our cereal box brown for trees, and we painted vines on it. Then we cut the box to three sections and taped them to the poster board. Then we cut a piece of paper for track, but we saw that the cereal box was not working! So we had to restart on the roll...
