Bacteria in Poo Found in Sosa

Virginia, Roanoke is where scientists find out that infectious bacteria is now inside the soda fountains at local. These bacteria is found in your poo and is called coliform bacteria. According to the scientists, this bacteria is coming from un-sanitized hands of workers who work at the place where the sanitation faults are coming from. Study shows that the soda fountain has passed the E. Coli test. The workers at these places need to wash their hands and find a way to not spread germs. Employers need to hire people who are clean and decent or at least promise to be clean. Costumers can get hospitalized or even get killed from these diseases, and who would of thought that it would be because of one person's sanitation problems.

Cork to a Window

Today in class we had to do a project where we measure amounts of vinegar and baking soda. Our group did not touch the window but we got a few centimeters away only if we shot it higher. We were given a box a of baking soda and a beaker of vinegar. Our tries varied, we just couldn't get the amounts right. We were told to find the exact amount of vinegar and baking soda that will shoot our cork from one side of the room to another. We have another day to do this but it will still be difficult. More then one try is available so there will be many chances to get this correct. I think that this lab can help our problem solving and measurement skills. It is also a really fun project, we learn and have fun. Just what kids need.

Extra Credit Response!

"In Science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurred." Said by Sir William Osler (1849-1919) Canadian physician.

I think that this quote means that even if you thought of something and didn't share it you should not get credit. I think this because when you get an idea that you think can change the world or even help the world you should share it because your idea isn't going to share itself. The minute you have an amazing idea, or an idea you think is amazing you should share it with people (be sure to use the copy right button :p.) Be sure to share your great ideas with the world instead of letting somebody else take all the credit when they share it with the world. When a man or woman does share it with the world, the world won't believe if you thought of the idea, they'll give all the credit to the person who shared it.

Plasticity Lab

Today in science class we were assigned a lab called the Plasticity Lab. When we sat at our lab tables we saw corn starch mixed with water with blue food coloring. I had to evaluate whether or not this mixture was a solid or a liquid. This experiment's solution was very hard to determine whether or it was a solid or a liquid because at first when we rolled it up between our hands the corn starch turned into a solid. After we pulled our hand away and left the corn starch on just one hand it became a liquid. I finally came to a conclusion that the mixture is both solid and liquid.

Flamingo's specialities

Flamingo's are known for its wonderful unique look but have you ever wondered why most flamingos only stand on one foot? This beautiful bird has caused Matthew Anderson, a psychologist at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia to question many aspects. One question he had, but later on recieved an answer is, "why do flamingos only stand on one foot?" He found out that they do this because with one leg they keep their body heat up and they don't strain both leg muscles. If a predator came near a flamingo, they would have the energy to run because both legs aren't stiff. Matthew Anderson when to the Philadelphia Zoo and observed flamingos too see what their movements are and how they stand and rest. When flamingos are in cooler weather, they stand on one leg, when it is warmer they stand on two legs. Flamingos usually spend most of their time in the water, water tends to take most of your body heat away, this is why flamingos conserve their body head by lifting one leg and keeping it near their body so they can be warmer. Personally, I think that flamingos are unique animals and that they stand with only one leg because they like to keep their balance and practice balancing. Also, I believe that what Matthew Anderson did was good because most people don't observe flamingos of all animals, so Mr. Anderson decided to make a change and research weird questions about flamingos like, "why do flamingos only stand on one leg?"
