Acoording to M.G. Kidd, the eHow cordinator it won't take much time or energy to make one which is good because time is very preciuos. I most definetly think that this will be harder than he says and/or predicts. Megan Egarly, owner of a chocolate bunny company, agrees with the statement that I have written. Making chocolate bunnies is harder done than said but says that it is worth the time and effort; I hope that Megan is correct. Hopefully after making this radiculous sugared holiday food,this phrase will disappear completely.

My group did "Do worms eat bagels and/or onions?" That was very weird it was fun but I did not want to touch it most of the time because it was scared and I didn't want to scare it any ferther and also because it's waste was everywhere.This whole worm topic will be our topic for a while.

We used slided spoons,straws,whoops and your hands and many more. During college prep we di a survival game where you get a situation and twelve items and you must put the twelve things from greatest importance to leasdt important or imparrel to your survival. We had new and old faces today that was interesting.

There are people writing on green ,yellow and red YES shirts. They are writing on them in different types of markers like EXPO, EXPO VIS-A-VIS, and other types and then dropping bleach on the shirt over the writing. We as a group came up with questions as a result of individual groups testing certain types of markers; my group did regular colored expo, then we all came up with questions and put them into the catogories of Testable or non testable. Now we are testing our testable questions. We'll see what happens with those shirts and those questions we tested next time I blog. YES Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:19:33 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/1878 This is my fourth week at the YES program, so I'm going to tell you how it has been. The first week I felt lonely ,scarred,out of my comfort zone, and extremely nervous. In all that when I stopped being ridiculous I found that people where nice and welcoming. At the first instant people knew I was new; I sat in the back, wasn't in uniform and I wasn't talking all extreme indicators that I, Ligaya was the new kid in a sea of teens who have been here a long time while I in my case, was my first day. My first day was very interesting I was an observer and a participator.Everyone and I mean everyone engaged me in conversation at least once(in my component and college prep class) and semi intirigated me on my personal information the classic who are you, where are you from, what school do you go to, and why are you here. Our day is broken up into a schedule, first your high school grade freshman, sophmore, junior senior and you do college prep. Then you do journaling; for the 4 times I have attended that seems to be one of the times when people can write what is on their mind is ll expressive aspects. After we have our break we go to our components, I am in Science After School, and on my first day we did an experiment in which we mixed dyes and tried to make other colors out of three different colors blue,red,and yellow.
