Plasticity Conclution

A few days ago we did a lab in school. The point of the lab was to see how the earths mantle worked. What we did was that we put water in a beaker and then we put cornstarch in the beaker. When those to mix together they make plasticity. Then when you put some body heat on the cornstarch with the water it gets hard(turns into a solid). However, when there was no body heat attracting the cornstarch it wound turn all gooey (turns into a liquid). The whole point of this lab was to see how the earths mantle works. The earths mantle is a solid because it had pressure being pushed against it from the core and the crust. Finally, if the crust and the core weren't pushing against the mantle then the earths mantle would be a liquid. Just like in the plasticity lab.

October Sky

In the movie October Sky there were four friends who wanted to build rockets and make them fly. In this movie there was a science/math connection and a Character Education connection.
The connection for math and science was that they had to read and learn certain math skills to now how rockets function and work.Also, that they had to use equations to prove that the fire that was caused was not by their rocket. Another reason, is that they went to a science fair fair and that has to do with science. Finally, that alot of people that worked in the mines got black lung cancer which means that you have lots of smoke in your lungs and they turn black.
The connection that the movie October Sky has to Character Education is that they used C.A.R.E.S.

• Cooperation
• Assertion
• Respect
• Empathy
• Self-Control

They used C.A.R.E.S because when they had to build there rockets they had to work as a group to get the job done. They used respect because they respected one another no matter if they did something wrong or if the did not do anything at all. They used empathy because they understood one another. Finally. they used Self-Control because even if the rocket blew up right in front of them they did not freak out. Also, they were able to control anything. For example, when the four boys got sent to jail they handled it respectfully and responsibly.

Phenylketonuria

In our science class we were assigned a genetic disorder. Then we had to research someone else genetic disorder and I researched my friends disease and it was called Phenylketonuria. Phenylketonuria is the disease that can cause mental retardation. Also, the cell is one enzyme doesn't function properly and cannot separate amino acids. The people with this disease Phenylketonuria are most likely going to be infants. The only way that you are able to treat this disease called Phenylketonuria is going on a huge diet and do not stop your diet. Alos, for you diet you have to cut doent on protien. Signes that show that you have this disease is a skin rash, excessive restlessness, irritable behavior, mosty body order, develop mental retardation"if not on diet", seizures, and lighter skin and hair color. This disease makes me feal sad because little children are suffering alot. If I was a doctor I would not rest until I found a cure.

Patau's Syndrome

Patau's syndrome is a disorder that was discovered in 1960. The effects of this disorder called Patau's syndrome are:

• That you may have one eye

• You will have breathing problems

• ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)

• Cleft lip

The treatment for this disease is medication, tube feading or a placement of a gostric tube, a hearing aid, and or a vision aid. The life span for this disease is 2.5 days. However, 1 in 20 survive longer then 6 months. This disease is the most least common and the most severe of the visible trisumies. This disease is most likely to happen to Females rather then the Male. However, the Female lives longer. This disease has extra chromosome 13 in the cell or it may be hereditary disorder. Patau's syndrome causes mental retardation and may have one eye and cleff lip. There are miner things that can help this disease. Such as, a diet, ahearing aid, vision aids, and surgery. This disease is very harsh and if I was a doctor I would do what ever I can to help these people with this disease.

Making My Roller Coaster Website

When I was making my roller coaster website I noticed that some of the information had to do with science. For example, we had to write how force was being used, and how Newtons laws were being used. Force was being used because when the marble drops and force pulls it down which makes it go faster. Newtons 1st law are used because the marble will remain at rest until an outside force pulls it down the roller coaster. Newtons 2nd law is used because force mass and acceleration are related. The mass shows how much force must be used. The amount of force can make the marble go faster or slower. Newtons 3rd law is used because when force is pushing the marble down fristion is also slowing it down. So with ever reaction there is an opposite reaction. So when I made my roller coaster website I learned lots of information.

Grunting For Worms

Worms are one of the most useful things to use for catching fish. However, people found a faster quicker way they put iron on a wooden stick and it catches all the worms. People had to have a permit to hunt for earthworms. Which are called Diplocardia mississippiensis. These worms can go up to a foot long. When the hunters worm grunt the vibration is caused by moles which eat the earthworms. Also, the worms are afraid of moles so when it vibrates the worms think that is the mole so they come to the surface which lets the earthworm hunters catch there worms.
