For an explanation, of what this stuff is, scroll down a bit to the bottom of this picture. My class and I made posters and gave them to Mr. Solarz through an assignment form he put in a blog page. All of us were assigned a theme for our first poster, and then some of us made a second one, which is under the "read more" break.

The above is a presidential glog that I made in Odyssey. If you can't see one or both of the pictures, hover over "glogster" and click on "full size". I hope you enjoy it!
So... who won? On the left, is the results from the election, counting Florida as Democratic. Even if Florida didn't go democrat, Obama probably would have won. For some cool websites on the election, go up to past, election, and election time, or rather ELECTION TIME!!!! That is how it is written. I think that Obama might have been slowing down at first while Romney a head start. This is because Romney has more states. Then, he started pulling back, and got some bigger states like California. Romney just got small states, or he might have won. Anyway, I was thinking what would happen if kids could vote? Would the election have tied? Would Romney have won? Would another candidate, like from the Green party or something win? Do you have any ideas?
The above & below are graphic organizers for our energy debates. We were put in groups, and we are researching our energy source. For example, my group is wind energy. These organizers are for an opening essay that every group will read. An organizer like this one will help me understand my energy source for our energy debates by teaching me the good things and reasoning behind them. I might use a graph like this when I am older and I need to write a persuasive essay. This organizer helps you understand the concept of Wind energy because it shows you what we're talking about when we say wind energy.It shows you What we are talking about and what you might think we are talking about but we are not.I for one might use this in the future in the actual debates so it could give us boosts on arguments.
Today at science class, we did an expirement about insulators. All of us were given partners and we were told to use any materials we could bring in to keep a bottle full of hot water hot in an ice bath. The layers we put on our bottle had to fit inside a gallon sized plastic bag. I thought it was an almost impossible task! My partner brought some materials from home and we used some of the stuff Mr. Solarz had kindly set out for our use. Of course, he bought everything from garage sales. Anyway, our insulators did a fair job. The top temp on the above graph did not change much, indicating that we had kept the bottle warm. We could have stuffed the bag full of materials like scraps of paper and felt like some groups did. Although we didn't do that, we did the steps right. This was a first for me. I normally found that very hard.
