Today was cool the movie that we watched was very interesting it talked about the unhealthy side effects of food .

Last week we did an observational experiment on foods (specifically fruits and vegetables) ;; It was very exciting I enjoyed it.!  -Jessica Moore

today in Frank's group we made our own air powered fans. although making fan may sound easy it was rather challenging. we first began off with by creating the fan. After my partner & i created the fan we proceeded to the rest of the project. the next step is to test your fan. with another fan we faced it towards our home made fan to blow wind to power it. the fan would spin clock wise or counter clock wise. you could change the direction that the fan would turn because of the way the blades were facing and you would be able to control the speed of our fan by controling the speed of the other fan or by the distance they were from each other. we later cut the tips of the blades to try and change the speed of our fan. i learned that the shorter that the blades are the fast they spin. 

i enjoyed doing this project it was something that helped educate me more about wind turbines.

This year at the Taylor Building was fun. I was part of the Science Corner.I really enjoyed it. We did alot of outside work plus making different typez of food. I really liked tasting the different types of food and what i really liked was that we grew everything that we ate. I wish the program didnt end so early, now i have to wait till the summer time and i cant wait till then.

Last week my fellow teens and I planted different types of beans. I decided to plant lime beans. During the experiment I put 4 lime beans into a plastic bag, along with 4 cotton balls. After putting those into the bag I dropped 7 drops of water into the bag and closed it up. Then I placed my bag outside of the class room into the hall way(with the lights on). After a week passed by, I came back to my bag to discover that only one of my beans had sprouted and the others were covered in mold.  

Today in our group we are going to be making carrot apple muffins and carrot cakes. There are many ingredients that we will be using in order to make these tasteful snacks. We have many styles of making the carrot cakes. So it is up to my group, along with the other groups to decide on what type of cake to make. Each cake will be different because we do not have all of the ingredients to make them. Therefore we will have to sub. out the ingredients that we don't have. I cant wait to see what the cakes and muffins will turn out like and taste like.
