Sup Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

    S-s-s-stars, stars! S-s-s-stars, stars! Yosif peeps of the planet Earth. Today we are going to talk about...can you guess? (uh.....um.....uh.....is it plants?) No, not even close. (aww, I thought I was gonna get it this time!) (sigh) Well, don't worry we still are gonna learn about something super fun! We are gonna talk about STARS!!!

That's SHINYYYYYYY!

Ooooo shiny! Celine, (yes) get back on topic please. (oh                    sorry!) Well these stars have a unique history. Does anyone  even know how stars are made? No, no you don't but I'm gonna tell you right now. Ok so stars are made in a nebula. This is basically a large cloud of gas and dust. The gases in a nebula are hydrogen gas. Hee hee, nebula is a funny word. Anyways, over time, the cloud gets denser and denser and starts getting warmer and warmer. It then starts to spin. Oo Oo Oo! I'm getting dizzy! (ahhhhh!) (fall) (ow!) The hydrogen gas bump into each other. So, basically the faster they spin, the hotter they get!
Like all peeps they have different stages in life. The first stage is the PROTOSTARS. The second stage is the MAIN SEQUENCE STARS. The third is the RED GIANTS. Finally, we gots the WHITE DWARF. Ok now we are gonna talk about the sun! So bright, bright! Uh, uh! So bright, bright! Uh, uh! Our sun is 4.6 billion years old!!!! I know that seems old, but its really not if you r talking about the solar system. The sun is...wait wait WAIT. If we're gonna talk about the sun, we need to give it a name. Ok, we'll name her......Sunny! There we go. Ok, Sunny is only a middle aged star! Sunny is in the Main Sequence Star stage. Sunny will explode in 4-5 billion years! But, no need to fear, we won't be around...here. There I made a rhyme.  It may not be good, but its still a rhyme. 
Ok so now, we have come to the end to my blog. I know, I know its sad but we must go. (wimper, wimper, cry, cry) So I hope you learned a lot. Well here are some awesome pics on space. BYEEE!
Science Fun:)


That's s lot of culurs!



Its like a burst of awesomeness!

Razzmatazz!

    Weebles wabble wabble, but they don't fall down! Why does this happen? Oh hey your here. Ug. JK! You guys know I love you! So our topic is gravity. DUH DUH DUH!!! So what the shmowzow is it?  Well, gravity is kind of hard to explain. They know what it is, but they can't explain it. But they do have a couple theories.
    Sir Isaac Newton had a theory that is still used today. Legend says that he was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head. Ouchie! Some say that he just SAW the apple fall. But either way an apple fell and he wanted to know how. His theory was that gravity is a force that attracts all objects to one another. So, you may be thinking, "Is that really the only theory? Wow. People just don't care anymore." But do not worry! There are other theories. (I am honestly getting tired of using the word "theories")
    Albert Einstein had the idea that mass and disrence were still important in gravity, but time is also very important. Einstien's theory is really hard to understand. A lot of science fiction movies have been made over Einstein's theory. But Newton's theory was very helpful too cuz it helped discover the planet Neptune. 
     Well that's pretty much what I can tell you about gravity. Again, scientists are still looking for an exact answer. But until then we gotta deal with what we got. I'm gonna leave while you guys are lost in this video. Bye bye my Boosims! Sceince Fun:)

My Trip To Florida!

 So hey peeps of the world! I am am back from a....(wait for it).... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious trip. We went to Florida, or as Kenneth would say: Floda, to see the Shuttle Launch. But, since NASA was being NASA, they moved the date AGAIN! Do you know how many times they moved it? (si-) Six! They moved it six flubbing times! Well we did do a bunch of other stuff. Here let me tell you in a special sort of way:
MONDAY: Today we went to school and then at night we left to Florida in an American Coach Bus.
TUESDAY: We got to the Retreat Center and we checked into our rooms. My roomies were Taylor and Shelby. Roomies Forever! Then we went to the Kennedy Space Center. It was really coolio to see all the space-y type stuff. We also went on a simulator. But that place was expensive! 8 bucks for a hamburger, sorry again Shelby! I did get a cool mug for 6 bucks, awesomeness!  For dinner we went to Pizza Hut and everybody at my table was being economical. Me, Anabel, Lizzy, Kenneth, Aubrey, and Fatima were sitting at the table. After that we went back to the Retreat Center to go to sleep. But we laughed and talked a whole bunch before actually sleeping! Duh! You think I would go to sleep WITHOUT talking first? Wow. Get your head strait people! JK.
WEDNESDAY: We went to the beach and it was sooooooo fun! I saw 5 dead jellyfish. Me, Fatima, and Kenneth went on a shell walk. Kenneth kept saying he hated the ocean so bad things happened to him. Me and Fatima were pretending to talk to Poseidon, God of the Sea in Greek Mythology (that's for you roomies) and every time Kenneth would go near the water, a huge wave would come over his shoes. LOL! After the beach we went back to the Kennedy Space Center to finish up what we didn't see. We had the dinner buffet that night. Really yummy. Then we went to this little grassy area to hang out afterwards. When we went to the rooms we laughed a lot more, then hit the hay. Oh, did I forget to say we went to Coco Beach? Whoops! 
THURSDAY: We had to go back home today. (sigh) Well, for breakfast we went to McDonald's. We drove and drove and then we stopped at Wendy's for lunch. Well we got back to Shreiner at like 6:30. I got my stuff and went home. That was my Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious trip. Here is a video of what I was gonna see but then didn't. (uhh....) The Shuttle Launch! Enjoy! Science Fun:)

Earthquakes! (rumble, rumble, RUMBLE!)

  Yosif people who are on a computer! OMG guess what? No more blogs about volcanoes! Yay! Now we are going to be talking about earthquakes. So, I'm here on a laptop, and jamming along to my favorite songs. This is my Jamm! One sec. (jamming along, dancing, singing, falling) (ow!) Hey I'm back. Okay back to our topic, earthquakes. So earthquakes are made when two tectonic plates rub together and then cause friction. They happen at plate boundaries. Now, some are more deadly than others. Like they will just happen when you least expect it. Sucks right? Right. California has a lot of them. But here, in good old Georgia, we don't have any. But seriously they can get scary. Man, I'm using "but" a lot. They do have technology like these things called:
Seismograph: a thing that records ground movements
Rector Scale: a scale that measures the magnitude
So now you know a little bit about earthquakes. So to rap it up, I'm going to show y'all a cool video. Because if I said Everything about earthquakes, you would get bored and then skip ahead to the comments. So here's a video so y'all can be happy!



 P.S. This is a video that shows the tradedy that happened in Chile. It was terrible. Let us have a moment of sielnce for the peeps that died from this earthquake. Tear:'( Well stay happy! Science Fun:)

Here are some kinds of volcanoes:)

Yo yo my Guchi! You are now on my blog. Congrats!!!! You have officially reached maximum AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 So today we are gonna learn about volcanoes. I know, you are probably saying, "Awwwwwwwww man we have to learn about volcanoes AGAIN?!?!?!?!??!?!!??!!?" Well suck it up! JK but this is going to be the last blog about volcanoes. (Finally, I was getting tired of blogging about volcanoes!) Who said that? Anyways..... this blog isn't a question! (Huh?!) Well I'm just going to tell you peeps about different volcanoes. (OH!) Here are the most 5 most popular volcanoes. That means that these guys sit at the cool table. Or should I say, HOT TABLE! Hahahahahah! (chirp,cough) Just read. (grumble,sigh) This doesn't include Mount St.Helens.
Mount Vesuvius in Italy-it's a composit volcano
Mount Fuji in Japan-it's a composite volcano
Kilauea in The Big Island of Hawaii-it's a sheild volcano
Pacaya in Guatemala City-it's a complex volcano
Mt. Bromo in East Java, Indonesia-it's a composit volcano
Now you probably are thinking, "Wow those are big names. Reading is so much work. UG!" Well I just want to say that you are so lazy. JK I love messing with you guys. These volcanoes are pretty coolio. If you want I can show you other volcanoes. (YEAH!) Well alrighty then!



That was amazing! Even if they're incredibly dangerous they are the most beautiful things! And that lava, oo I want to touch it so bad! But if I do my hand would burn off. That would not be fun. That's all for this blog. Bye bye my Guchi! Science Fun:)

Shield,Composite,Cinder Cone!

Hola all my peeps! What goes on? ANYWAYS........ I have these friends. They are volcanoes. One is called Shield, one Composite, and one called Cinder Cone(Cindy for short). They are arguing and I cannot stand it! So I am gonna tell you how they are different and how they are the same. I HOPE YOUR READING THIS GUYS!!!!
Shield Volcano-A shield volcano is a small, circular base, gental sloped volcano. Shield volcanoes have lava filled with basaltic lava(weird word,basaltic) The lava stays flow-y for a long time, it's so pretty to watch!

Composite Volcano-This is a large, steep, and very explosive volcano. It explodes very violently. This is the volcano that goes BOOM!!!!!!!!!!! It builds out of layers of dried up lava.

Cinder Cone- A medium size volcano, that explodes normally, and has mostly gasses coming out. This is the most common kind of volcano.

HOLD ON! My friends just called and said they just made up cuz of my blog! I am awesome! Science Fun:)

Who wants to learn about volcanoes? ME!

OK class, today we are going to talk about volcanoes. Does anyone know anything already? Yes, Chase. (mumble,mumble) No, Chase. Voomy, voomy, Shish, shish, Bleh, bleh isn't a fact. Oh man, I guess I have to tell you all about it. (sigh) So volcanoes are pretty coolio. Volcanoes are basically gaps in Earth's surface. It eventually builds up and becomes a mountain like structure. Except volcanoes have a giant hole at the top. Volcanoes have ash, gases, lava, and even some cooled rock exploding out of it! But some volcanoes are really active and some, not so much. Like Kilauea in Hawaii, It has been releasing gasses and stuff for more than 100 years strait! But this explosion isn't gimungo! It just happens, doesn't really affect anyone. In fact, Hawaii was made by volcanoes. and all of its islands at least have one volcano on it. Another one is Mount St.Helens. This is probably the most popular  volcano. This is a very violent volcano. But the good news is that it doesn't explode regularly. It explodes very little. So that's the stuff you have to know about volcanoes. Wasn't that interesting? (cheering,clapping) I told you! Now, since you've been good, I can show you a video. Science Fun:)
