plastisity conclution

When my partners and I were doing the experiments we first had to put the corn starch in to the the beaker and then put water in to the beaker and then we had to try and mix it with our hands when we picked it and put it our hands it was liquidy but when pusher is put on it, it was hard. This relates to the inner of the earth because when the crust and the mantle were together the liquid was hard because presser was put on it, it turned hard but when the mantle and the crust is off a little bit the liquid is liquid.

October Sky

In October Sky, when the boy's tryed to make a rocket, they had to use a lot science and math. When the boy's tryed to make the rocket they studied the science part by figuring out how to make one. They then figured out how to make a rocket and they used math to figure out how long the rocket had to be. They also had to make the width of the rocket and how far it went. The boy's got blamed for starting a fire in the woods because it was a couple of miles away from their launch site. The boy's knew that they didn't start the fire so they used algebra to figure out where the rocket landed and it wasn't even close to where the fire started. The boy's had to use self control when their rockets always didn't go the way they wanted it to. Like when the rocket blew up they didn't get angry it just made the want to work harder and succeed in what they wanted to accomplish.

Dwarfism

The blog that I read about is Dwarfism. What I learned about dwarfism is that dwarfism isn't a disease and can not be cured. Dwarfism wasn't discovered that long ago. It was discovered in 1967 by Pierre Maroteaux. The people that have dwarfism might have a hard time living in the world with mostly people that are normal size. and e thing might be too big for them and they probably can't reach high things. By having dwarfism the only thing that it really effects is your size but you still probably will have problems with other things but it doesn't effect your intelligence.In conclusion by reading about and blogging about dwarfism makes me feel sad because the people that have dwarfism have to struggle their whole live with things that we can do in a normal basis.

Celiac Disease

A couple of days ago in science my partner and I had to research the very painful and horrible Celiac disease.This disease was discovered in England in 1865 by Francis Adams. The symptoms are damage to the digestive system, it damages the small intestine, and doesn't allow food to digest properly. The only treatment for the Celiac disease is a long, life-free gluten diet. Once all of gluten is taken out of your diet you're digestive system will start working again. This disease isn't fatal as long as you are on the gluten-free diet. This disease is common all over the world. But in the U.S today there are over 2 million people that have this disease. 1 out of 133 people will get it. Men are more likely to get the disease than women are because men are more likely to consume more than a woman does. But women can still get the disease. Children can get the disease but grownups are more likely to get it. Scientists are not sure how this disease is caused but they do know how the disease effects you. This disease makes me feel upset and angry because the people that have the disease have to go through a lot and have to be on a very difficult diet. I feel grateful because I am lucky enough not to have this disease.

Why do people have red eyes when you take a picture??

When we take picteures the light that the flash and the ligt reflects off the retna and that causes the red ness that we seee when we get pictures taken. All animals such as dogs, cats, deers, and many more animals have a protective layer on thier eye called the "calledtapetum lucidum". When light is flasahed in to them a whit glow reflects off them. That is why if you take a picture of your pet you see that their eyes are weired and are all white. The red that you actually see is the blood vessel that makes your eye red. So the people that made the cameras now made a camer that reduces the redness in your eyes. What they do is make he camera flash two times so that your pupile will turn less red and the second one is so after your eye isn't so that it takes the picture.In my opinion I think tha is a good idea because know the people in their pictures can look pretty and not look so scary.

Wildfires in Ausralia

In Australia they had the worst wildfire just recently. They fire took the lives of 134 people. The fire's were so large that they were visible from space. Several people in arctic of Australia have dies because of the outrageous temperate of 114 degrees. NASA has mad a chart of Australia and saw that there was more blue and red than white in Australia. That isn't good because the blue and the red are a "10-degree (C) differential from normal (white)." And that's not good. Right now Australia is so dry that if just a small spark hits the ground that can cause a huge wildfire. We have wildfires just like this in the U.S in California in the summer all of the time. In my opinion I think that we should all work harder in trying to clean up the earth because the wildfires are caused by global warming and if we help save the earth hopefully there won't be anymore dangerous wildfires such as this one.
