Science Fair :|

    Hey guys! So today's topic ISN'T going to be about science. (GASP!) I know, I know but I'm gonna talk about the science fair. Fun....yeah not really. As everyone knows, I strongly dislike with compassion the science fair. I've never liked it since the beginning, which was kindergarten.
This is EXACTLY me!!!

  







  But, I have to admit, it wasn't as bad this year. The main reason was the judges! THEY BLINKED THIS YEAR! See, last year I was in the middle of my presentation when, suddenly, the doors opened and this tall man walked in. He was wearing a black tux, he also had these black sunglasses. He had one of those buzz cuts that you get if your in a military school. He then pulls out this notebook and takes off his sunglasses and says..."What's your project?" And, you guessed it, he never blinked! He reminded me of the man in black.


What's your science project?
















   OK, let me tell you about my science project. It was, "What kind of spin makes you the most dizzy?" I chose it because I love to spin! I also thought it would be fun to have an excuse to spin. I used 3 volunteers, Aubrey, Anabel, and my sis Zeina. OK so what I would do was make them sit in this chair and I would spin them. I would stop them three different ways. I would then record all these different things. Then I did all this math to make my OWN graphs! Ugh extra math equals not happy Celine.



   Hahahaha I just remembered a couple funny stories. Do you want me to tell you? (nodding) Eh, I'll pass! Just kidding! OK so I was SO mean when we were doing the experiment! I kept yelling and screaming at Aubrey, Anabel, and Zeina! At one point, Anabel records me yelling at them. It was funny I have to admit. I'm sorry you guys! Also, after Aubrey spun for the last time, she was jumping out of the chair and then...she fell! HAHAHAHAHHAHA!
It happened so fast though! Like one second I turned around, everything is normal, then, I hear a BOOM and I trun around and see Aubrey on the floor! I started laughing and Anabel said, "I should've gotten that on video!" Eventually we helped her after we found out she was actually in pain. But it was funny! And Anabel's right, we shood've gotten that on video!


hehehehhehehe















   Well after all the headache, the stress, the extra math (groan), I'm just really glad it's over! The judging went well though. I knew what I was talking about and I had Kenneth and Lizzy in the background. They just kept smiling whick helped A LOT! Thanks you guys! Everyone is always saying, "I hope I win the science fair!" Or sometimes I hear, "I hope I get a good grade in the science fair!" And you wanna know what I say? "I just hope I pass the science fair!" Because last year I FAILED! So hope that doesn't happen this year. And I honestly don't think I will. You know, an A would be nice...


Hopefully...
















               (Day after the science fair award ceremony)
   Alright it's the day after the science awards, and I'm here to tell you about it. It was actually fun! Chase, who was in charge of the music, played awesome science songs! And I also liked how Mr.Sellers kept us all in suspense! Anyways, I didn't actually win anything but thats ok because I've decided that I'm too good for the award! Oh yeah Kayte!!!!!!

  
   So that was my non-science blog! Well, it technically it was because it was on the science fair. Next time we'll have an actual science topic. So yeah bye! DO NOT COPY ME TAYLOR GREEN! Science Fun:)

Pump It! LOUDER!!!!!




Omg I love that song! You know, that song reminded me of something. It Reminded me of blood. You might be thinking, "How the heck is she reminded of blood by that song?" The answer to that is...blood is pumped to every part of your body by your heart. Since we started on it, let's finish it. First thing we will be talking about are red blood cells! Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other part of the body. They also collect carbon dioxide from the body and take it back to the lungs. Red blood cells are originally called erythrocyte. They are made in bone marrow. Weird right? They are SO tiny! As in 125 red blood cells placed end to end wold only be a millimeter long!!!!! They look like tiny little doughnuts! Alrighty, that's red blood cells. Now, let's talk about white blood cells. White blood cells fight off diseases that enter your body. There are two different kinds of white blood cells. One of them is called B-cell. B-cells are kinda like security guards. They see the diseases and send electrical signals throughout the body. Then the other cell called the T-cell. T-cells are the ones that attack the diseases. Do you wanna know HOW they attack them? Are you sure? OK well remember you asked. They eat them.

red and white blood cells! I'm pretty sure you can tell the difference!

















OK so we finished with the cells. Now lettuce move on to-oh sorry I'm really hungry. Anyways, the next thing is...HEMOGLOBIN! I love that word! Hemoglobin is really important. It's the thing in red blood cells that carries the oxygen. So, without hemoglobin, red blood cells wouldn't have a purpose! Cuz without oxygen, your body can't survive! And then, there is no need for the red blood cells to carry carbon dioxide, waste, etc! Alrighty then, since we got hemoglobin down, (it's still so much fun to say!) let's talk about plasma. Plasma, or blood plasma to be more specific, is the liquid part of blood. It's 90% water and 10% proteins, minerals, waste, clotting stuff, hormones, and this thing called, omg immunoglobins! YAY MORE FUNNY WORDS! Plasma is also super important. Without it, blood would have no way to travel around the body. Did you know you can actually separate plasma from blood? And it's actually really easy! First, take some blood from a person. Then, put it in this machine called a centrifuge. the heavier blood will go to the bottom and the plasma will go to the top. Plasma is usually a yellow color. OK this is gonna be short. Platelets are the things that clot the blood when you get a cut. They are very important because without them, we would bleed to death from a simple paper cut.

its a little test tube!

 










Now, we're going to talk about giving blood. This is a very nice thing to do. What you do is you go to a blood bank, like the American Red Cross, and you have to answer some questions. This is so people can see if your blood is healthy or not. If it is, you sit in this chair and someone will come and take a pint of your blood. You may feel light headed afterwards so they give you all this free food you can eat! YUM! Next up is blood types. This is the kind of blood you have. There are four major kinds of blood groups. A, B, AB, and O. O+ is the most common and AB- is the least common. You inherit your blood type from your parents. Like my mom and dad are both A+, so, I'm A+. What kind are you?


Last but not least, interesting facts! Click here to see some!

OK that's my Blood Blog! This was so much fun! Bye Bye!
Science Fun:)

Lovey Dovey Heart Heart!


no not that kind!


   HI HI! It's me! Sorry I haven't been putting an blog posts lately. I had a reason! I didn't want to. Just kidding! I've been researching all these different topics for my all new chapter! YAY! So, let's get down to business. We're going to be talking about the heart!



    No, no we are going to be talking about the heart that's inside you. Well, you obviously know that your heart pumps blood to every part of your body. You know that it makes the BU-BUM BU-BUM sound. But it's actually more complex than that. I'm using big words! Anyways, the heart is an involuntary muscle. That means that it beats without you thinking about it. The heart is mainly two colors. One side is blue and one side is red. Now, each color means different things. The blue side gets filled with low-oxygen blood. It gets sent back to the lungs to get oxyginized. The red part gets filled with blood that has high-oxygen and it gets sent to all parts of the body. And this all happens in one beat. Did I mention that your heart is only the size of your fist? WOW!

do you see the red and the blue?

  










       Now, I'll tell you guys about the different parts of the heart and what those parts do. The heart has four chambers. Two on the top and two on the bottom. The top chambers are called the atria. The bottom chambers are called the ventricles. The septum is the thing that seperates the right and left sides of your heart. The valves are the things seperate the four different chambers. They open to let the blood come in and close right after so the blood can't leave. It's like a one way road. Oh and did you know that the opening and closing of your valves is what makes the BU-BUM BU-BUM sound?


see how many different parts there are?!



















     That's the end of my blog! Hope you liked the new topic!!! I sure did! And trust me there will be more were that came from! Only if you like it! KK well here's a video. Here's a song that says the word heart. So yeah. BYE BYE!!!!! Science Fun:)
