CELLS.

During this week i learned alot about cells and organells. Mrs.A,a scientist that comes into our classroom on occasions, taought me alot about plant cells and animal cells. We are also learning about plant and animal cells during regular classes. We watched a movie about cells and had to take notes on plant and animal cells. I thought this was very interesting. I never knew how cells work inside and what they were made of. Plant cells and animal cells is a very cool topic and i am looking forward to learning more about it.

The Roller Coaster Lab

We have prepared for the roller coaster lab since december by trying to earn as much omega money as possible. All of omega had to contribute by bringing in toilet paper rolls, boxes, and other card board material. We had to buy the cardboard material with the omega money. Then, we had to create a roller coater. A marble had to ride on the roller coaster without getting stuck. We had to use Newton's laws to get the marble from one end the other. The experiment so far is very fun and gets my mind thinking alot.

For the past 5 years people in New York have been smelling a maple syrup type of smell in the air. The smell has been in and out of New York. At first people thought it was a biological attack from terrorists but it turned out that the smell was coming from a North Bergen New jersey seed plant. The extract from the seed gives off an odor that smells like maple syrup. Mayor Bloomberg informed New York today about the smell and told them that the smell is harmless.
