In the Rev. war America was like a child and Britain was the mean parent. Britain had more soldier's and the best guns there were at the time. They were the power house of war. There soldier's had been training for years and years and had fought in many years. There commanders wear had fought in way more wars.
    The Americans had close to nothing. Almost all there commanders had almost no battle experience in war at all. There soldiers had never fought in a battle before. I think that the only reason America won was because of the gorilla fighting that started when we shot soldiers from bushes. That is the only reason. After that they got the French on there.

     To day we did tug of war to see how it was in the war. The redcoats (my team) started with the upper hand at first but then the French came in to save the Americans and that's when the Redcoats lost. The Americans were the other side and the French were the last group of kids.    

I just learned about why leaves change color during the fall. I found this info on http://mentalfloss.com/article/31501/how-why-do-leaves-change-color#ixzz29DmqDxWZ

The first stages of the color change is when the leaves are green. When there green they are really healthy and are getting lots of health. When they change color. As soon as they start changing color the out side chemical that cover the leaf in the spring and summer is cracking witch lets a different chemical show off it's colors for a little while. these color's are orange and yellow. This is the start of the leaves death. The inside of the stem starts closing up. The stem is like the leafs feeding tube. it gives it all the things it can't get from the sun. The next step or color is red. This means that the stem is almost or completely closed. Because of this the orange and yellow colored chemical falls off and the last chemical that is red takes center stage. Soon even that chemical soon falls and the leaf turns brown and dies and falls to the ground.         

1. What was the most surprising thing you learned about energy during this entire unit?
 The most intresting thing I found out was that people really make rube goldberg at home.
2. Why is energy important?
It powers some very important things in our lives.
3. Where is energy found?
Energy is every were.
4. How would you define energy?
I think Energy is a very power thing in this world

I think that it was surprising Of how much longer the 25 watt bulb lived but it is bad because it olny has 210 lumens in it. As a shopper it would be a tough chose between the two but I would most likely pick the 100 watt

I was amazed how much longer the CFL bulb lasted than the Incandescent bulb and how much more lumens there were in the CFL. if I were a shopper I would get the CFL light bulb because everything is better in it than the Incandescent light bulb.    

As a shopper I would most likely get the get CFL bulb because I last longer, it has more lumens and its just as light!

 We are learning about tessellation's in math class. A tessellations is when there is a center piece and it repeats up, down, left, right with no gaps or over laps. I found this really cool website were you can make tessellations! hears the link,  http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Tessellate/

I think that its cool that he moved west on his own without his father. Zbadiah was a very nice man and I like him. While I was talking to him I could see how he sometimes was in trouble with his wife at times. He told me that one night he snuck out to finish a job that he told his wife was done and how he had to lie his way out. Then he told me about going over the canal to the great lakes and into the Illinois river and then having to do it all over again so he could save his family business which he couldn't do and having to do it again before he stayed for good.   

I think that mystery Skyping is really cool. one thing that is easy is linking website because all you do is highlight, command C, command V and you have linked something. Its so easy because you can do it so fast. One thing that's hard is coming up with questions. Its not hard to type them its just hard to think of them especially when there is questions you cant ask. One really fun thing in getting my questions picked to be asked and getting a pat on the back for it. One boring thing about mystery Skype is thinking of a good website to link to the Google doc. My job is to link things to the Google doc to help people with questions. To link things you have to fallow these steps, highlight, command C, command V. My advice for others is to try to link as much as possible because it makes questions a lot easier.  If I  could chose my next job it would be a questioner because I think that it would be cool to get to talk to the other class.

1. What was your maximum temperature (use your Data Chart, not the picture)?
2. What was your minimum temperature (use your Data Chart, not the picture)?
3. What is your range?  If you had any penalties or gifts, include those in your total.
4. What materials did you use in your insulated bottle (type them in order from your first layer, second layer, and third layer.)?
5. Why did you choose the materials that you did?
6. What are some materials that you didn't choose?
7. Why didn't you choose them?
8. Explain any blips on your graph (if you have them).  Why did it do that?
9. Is an insulator a good or a poor conductor of heat energy?

1. Our Max. temp. Was 91.8 degrees when we first got our water.

2. Our minimum temp. was 62.1 degrees at its lowest.

3.We had a range of 29.7 degrees and we had no penalties or gifts added.

4. Our first layer was polyester batting and our second was quilt and the outside one was bubble rap.

5. We thought that since the inside layers were thick and the bubble rap has air pockets it would be a good insulator.

6. We didn't choose wool and nylon.

7.  We didn't choose these because they were very thin and not to protective.\

8. one of our blips was when my partner moved the temp. prob on accident and we think it may have touched the bottom of the bottle once.   

9. our bottle was a poor insulator because we had a few mistakes along the way.
