Then I ran strait to him to check if he was o.k, he wasn't he was crying really loud and when I really got a good look at him his bone was popping out of his arm. Then other kids heard him crying and came running and as soon as the saw his arm they ran to one of the duty teachers, but I didn't I was just starring at him in shock. Then the teacher arrived and picked up my friend and carried him all the way inside the school then they called his mom then took him to the hospital. About two days later he came back with a cast on his right arm, his writing arm so he started to write with his left arm he was writing sloppy and then about two weeks later he could write perfectly with his left arm and about another two weeks later he went to the hospital to take off his cast.

I went to the driver's cart and the driver was a really big peanut butter jelly sandwich. I got lucky he didn't catch me. Then he picked up a really big brown paper bag. He was pulling something out of it and it was a HUMAN SANDWICH! I was scared out of my mind. He ate the hole thing in one big gulp.

When the train stopped I ran out as fast as I could. When I got out there were big peanut butter jelly sandwiches all over the place. One saw me and screamed so loud someone could hear it from outer space. Then all of the sudden almost every single one started chasing me.

I ran inside a building and hid as fast as I could. While I was in there I met a human scientist and asked him why there was big peanut butter jelly sandwiches all over the place. He said they were doing an experiment to try to bring people back to life and they accidentally dropped the liquid one a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Then the sandwich started getting really hot and then it transformed into a big peanut butter jelly sandwich. Then it took the rest of the liquid and pored it on other peanut butter jelly sandwiches and they all took over the world. Right when he was done talking a peanut butter jelly sandwich bursted throw the wall.

As soon as I saw him I started running. I ran inside another building but this time I got to the roof. Then I was cornered I had to do something quick so I jumped off the roof. While I was falling I was thinking I was going to die but then I landed on something soft I found out I landed on a peanut butter jelly sandwich. I was so relieved that I didn't die but I killed a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

Then I was just about to run when the sandwiches got me. They took me to an abandoned warehouse and put me on a big piece of bread then put another piece of bread over me. Then out of nowhere there was an earthquake then I looked to my right and there was the biggest peanut butter jelly sandwich I've ever seen. He picked me up and was just to take a bite out of me when I woke up. When I woke up I was so relieved it was just a dream. Then I herd footsteps down the hallway. I went to check who it was and it was a peanut butter jelly sandwich!!! But then I saw my big brother eating it. I was so happy he was eating the sandwich not the other way around.

Balloon Chip Bag Experiment

Article posted May 3, 2011 at 08:57 PM GMT0 • Reads 169

Description: We are going to attach a green balloon that's filled up about a quarter of the way and a blue balloon that's filled up about half of the way and a orange balloon that's pretty much filled up all the way, plus we are going to send up a Cheetos bag thats sealed and all of them are going to be on the top of one of are payload's. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on a high altitude balloon.



Hypothesis:

Green Balloon – I doubt that the green balloon is going to pop because it has a lot less air then the other ones



Blue Balloon – I think it my pop but it has less chance of popping then the orange balloon



Orange Balloon - Since it's filled all the way I think it's going to pop because the pressure



Bag Of Chips – I think the bag of chips might pop but I feel like it has as much as chance as popping as the blue balloon



What do you think will happen?

Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on a high altitude balloon.





Hypothesis:

Green Balloon – I doubt that the green balloon is going to pop because it has a lot less air then the other ones.

 

Resuilts – What actually happened – What actually happened to the green was that when it kept on getting higher It kept on getting bigger up until the big balloon popped and then it slowly started to shrink back to size and it never actually popped.

Blue Balloon – I think it my pop but it has less chance of popping then the orange balloon.

Resuilts – What actually happened – The blue balloon popped around 80,000 and only little bits of it was on the payload when it came back and about 20,000 more feet and it would have popped around the same time that big balloon popped.

Orange Balloon - Since it's filled all the way I think it's going to pop because the pressure.

Resuilts – What actually happened – When the big balloon was released the orange balloon was almost as big as it can get so I think it popped shortly after we released it.

Bag Of Chips – I think the bag of chips might pop but I feel like it has as much as chance as popping as the blue balloon

Resuilts – What actually happened – The bag of chips was close to popping when it got a little hole on it so it let all of the air out so it couldn't pop.
