This week we were assigned to do a blog post about our best post since Febuary.  I chose as my Sience Lab!  I had chose this post, because I had many links a few pictures, my post was interesting, and my links were very interesting.  If you want to see my post then I will show it.

Science Lab!

Today, we went to the science lab.  We were talking about the rock cycle.  There are 5, really 3, but two of them are melted rock, here are the types of rocks igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, magma, and lava.  My guess how old is Earth is about 10.8 billion years old.  The time rocks came on Earth was 10.6 billion years ago.  The universe is about 15.7 billion years old.  G-D lived forever, so G-D is the Crazy Number years old (the biggest number) (a number I made up.)  Some rocks are very old.  The rock cycle starts as a volcano eruption, then the lava turns to igneous rocks, then igneous rocks turn to sediment, then sediment turn to sedimentary rocks, then sedimentary rocks turn to metamorphic rocks, then metamorphic rocks turn to magma, then comes a volcano eruption, then the lava turns to igneous rocks, then igneous turns to sediment, then sediment turns to sedimentary rocks, then sedimentary rocks turn to metamorphic rocks, then metamorphic rocks turns to magma, then the cycle goes again and again.  In the science lab, we made the weirdest igneous rocks ever, the rocks looked like vegetable Barth.  That was it about the science lab.

Did you like the post?  I did.  My post was about rocks, so that was why the post was talking about rocks, and volcanoes.  Now you know even more about the rock cycle, volcanic eruptions, and how all the types of rocks form.

Hello everyone, here is the new president Ella.  She is one year old and she is very responsible.  She will make joy for the United States of America.  In fact she is a Double joy,  joy.  She is very cute.  Here is why you will be so happy that she is president.

She is the teacher and principal of Ella School (ES.)  She takes you to any sport game you want and anywhere you want more than twice a day and when there is nothing to do, we get free time inside or outside whatever you want.  She is also a cute baby.  It is cool that a baby teaches a school.  She says cute words, such as e-da, e-sa?, e-se?, e-da?, e-sa, e-se.  When she spins around, she says chu-se chu-se, cha-se cha-se cha-se.  

Ella teaches baby languages, such as e-da, e-sa? e-se?, e-da?, e-sa, e-se, chu-se chu-se, cha-se cha-se cha-se, hee hee hee hee hee,  Waaa!  Waaa!  She also teaches how to play, such as tag, freeze tag, Chinese freeze tag, hide and seek tag, hide and seek, cheese touch, the cooties, and peek-a-boo.   

Ella is very nice, when she is playing with a toy, she some time gives it to me, because she is so nice.  Sometimes, she lets you go in front of her, because she is so kind.  Even sometime, she will help you with your chores, can’t you believe that?

Ella, respects others, she knows that good things will happen when she is respectful.  If you respect her, she will respect you back, but if you are not respectful to her, she will not be respectful back to you, so you want to be respectful to her.  You actually should be respectful to everyone, too.  If you will be respectful to someone, he or she will respect you back, but if you are not respectful to someone, he or she will not be respectful to you.  Being respectful is very important in life.

Ella is very smart, she say some words in English, some words in Hebrew, and some words in Russian.  The English word is peek-a-boo.  The words in Hebrew are אמא, אבא, מה זה.  The Russian word she says is Da.  

I told you that you would be happy that she is the president of the United States of America.  She is actually my baby sister.  Ella likes to make jokes.  Bye!

Two days ago, we went to the science lab. Our science teacher’s name is Mrs. Burkhart. She has been the science teacher for a long time. We learned that people can conduct electricity. People can conduct, because we have cells from salt water. Salt water can conduct electricity. We are not the best conductors of electricity. The best conductor of electricity is metal, iron copper, and steel.

We used things to see if it was electricity, such as a nail, straws, a diode, a wooden stick, copper strip, glass rod, rubber eraser, paperclip, and a bag. The one’s that were conductors were the nail, the paper clip, the diode only worked one side the other did not, and the copper strip.  The things that were isolators were the straws, the glass rod, the rubber eraser, the wooden stick, and the bag.  We could tell of it was a conductor, because we had alligator clips that were connected with a wire which was also connected to a battery.  When something was clipped, you hold both sides of the battery.

 At the end we were playing with the plasma ball.  A plasma ball has plasma electricity in it.  When you touch the ball, a plasma ray points to you, because we are conductors of electricity.  Plasma rays have different colors.  The colors are different, because of the gases.

P.S.  There is more chances to win a lottery than getting struck by lightning.

P.S 2.  There is a little bit of metal in cereal and cheerios, but cereal and cheerios are very healthy, because they have a little bit of metal inside them.  The metal is actually good for you.

 P.S. 3.   There were three groups my group was me, Elior, Zachary, and Itamar.  The second group was Rebecca, Evie, Zoe, and Jamie.  The third group was Ben, and Liam.

Today, Mrs.  Tolisano came to our classroom, because Mrs.  Teitelbaum was not at class, she was at Emily’s model Seder.  Our class made a paragraph.

This is the paragraph:

Title: We Surf The Globe

On our blogs, we embedded a Clustr map.  A cluster map is a map on your blog, that shows you the location of the visitors of your blog.  The map helps us visualize where our readers are from.  We have been surfing the virtual globe to countries all around the world, such as Thailand, Switzerland, and Czech Republic, because we know that they have read our posts.

That was the paragraph.
