We waited a while in the hot sun for the crayon to melt! All are other stuff melted but not our crayon!!!! Then w... Read Full Post »

Monday.... We started building our roller coaster out of our cereal box and paper. It was fun to build our roller coaster with recycled material! Our team came up with a mediocre design, so we started building our roller coaster inside the cereal box. We also started a new book called "We Beat The Street". So far it is a great book. Wednesday... We were building our roller coaster and then we tested it; it only went for two seconds! This was bad because we needed to try to make it go the longe... Read Full Post »

We were learning about the scientific method and the similarities and differences between the engineering and design process. For our demonstration, we saw a foam cup get put in acetone, and it me...

Flowtography!

Posted by [email protected] on Comments comments (1)
I was working on Flowtography for weeks! It was hard but it was fun. We had to write poems next to the pictures. We also had to write the tile. Two of my tiles were "The Flame" and "Alone". It took me a weeks to even get one poem, so it was harder to get four! Even though it was hard it was fun!! I loved to take the pictures and write the poems. On Saturday we put our pictures up for auction. I was so nervous! What if I didn't sell mine?! I was nervous, but I was exited! At the end of the silen... Read Full Post »
