Flying In The Air 100,000 Feet

Article posted June 4, 2010 at 09:53 PM GMT0 • Reads 138

Hi! My name is Priya and I am a balloon. I am just sitting in a old brown box. The box is really small and I am really squished. In this small box it's dark and I feel pretty lonely. I stayed in this box for 5 days.

 

 

I am trying to get out of my box so that somebody can see me and buy me. Wait I think someone saw me. I feel somebody carrying me and my box. I hope that somebody is going to buy me. I got bought!!!! Now I can fly in the air just like some of my friends have. Some of my friends told me that flying in the air would be fun. Now somebody is opening my box. I can hear that tearing noise like when people open things. I see light a little bit and it hurts my eyes!

 

 

I can feel cool air running through me. The cool air feels pretty good. I wonder what is going to happen next? Now my owner is taking me out of the box and I feel nervous. I look really wrinkled out of this box.

 

 

I can see the sky, it is all blue. It has a sun that is brighter than anything I ever saw in my life. The clouds look like ice cream and cotton candy and it makes me want to eat them. Now my owner is laying me down on this wet stuff and I got all soaked! The wet stuff is grass I just noticed that because I heard people talking about it.

 

I hope I get filled with helium because I don't want to explode! Hydrogen is flammable so don't put that gas in me! I am getting filled with helium but my owner that is a scientist is putting this tube in me and it feels unusual!

 

 

Now the scientist is taking off the horrible tube. It feels much better to get without that strange, awful tube!

 

Now they are tying me into a big knot. When they were tying me it felt like I was going to explode!!!

 

Now they are putting a rope on me! They are holding onto my rope really tight so I don't fly in the air yet.

 

 

Next they are putting a parachute on my head and it feels really tight. The scientist is putting payloads on my rope and there are 2 of them.

 

 

It has a GPS system in one and a camera that has a heater, that way the camera doesn't freeze.

 

Now they are letting me go. I am so thrilled! I am soaring in the air. I can see people from the sky, they look like ants. I can see people driving cars and going to stores.

 

Wait a minute I think wind is coming now!!! I am flying in all sorts of different directions! The wind stopped and I feel much better.

 

I am in the atmosphere. It is pitch black and I can't see anything.

 

 

I feel really cold. I am getting really big and fat. I am getting lots of air in me now that I can't see my body. I think I am going to burst!!! I think this is the end for me!!!!! Good-bye world I will never see you again in my life, maybe!!!!! Suddenly POP! All this loud thundering noise is in outer space because I bursted into a million pieces.

 

My parachute is landing. I'm on the ground safely.

 

 

Now I have to wait for my owner to come. 3 hours later My owner has come and he found me! I never told you my owners name until now and the name is... Mr.Crosby. He is going to hang me on the wall of his classroom. He is going to nail me on is wall then he is going to hit the nails with a colossal hammer! It is going to hurt a lot!!! Now he is putting me on his wall. I feel appreciated a lot. Well Thats The End Of My Journey.

Later on we got to play tennis games, like... dodge ball tennis, and we got to make pyramids with tennis balls.

My Dream On A Train

This story will be a fantasy story. It will be about a little girls dream going on a train and having an adventure of her life time. She will be going on a journey to a new place that nobody has ever heard of.



Hello my name is Priya and I am five years old. It was a sunny, spring, morning, all of the neighbor hood kids parents were at work. The kids were staying home with a mean, babysitter that made them do homework and clean up there entire house!

All of a sudden time froze, the babysitters were frozen like a solid rock. All of the kids came rushing outside, to see who or what made time froze. It was an ordinary train that stopped time. All of the kids came running to the train to see if anyone was in there.

We could see inside the clear window that there was a train driver, then the man opened the door and said do kids want to hop in and come to Destiny Island. All of us said “ what is that place, we never heard of that place before”! The man said “ it's a place were its always green. A place were you can play and have fun, you can also do anything you want to do without having mean babysitters that boss you around all the time.”

We all yelled and said “ can we come can we come please!!! The man said sure you can just hop on right in. But then he told all of us that he had drop us off back here in Reno at 9:00colck that way are parents don't weary about us. We all yelled alright, but its 12:00clock and we only get there at 3:00clock.That's not fair we only get 6 hours to play there! NO the train driver said, we can just get there with my speed button that will make the train go faster. We will get there in no time, and you guys will get to play there for 9 hours and will get to have fun!

“I said what is your name train driver, the train driver said you can call me Mr. P.J.” “I told all of the kids to call the train driver Mr. P.J, they all yelled o.k.”

So everyone hopped in, and sat down on the comfortable, cozy, seats. There were even people that gave us snacks, like a plastic cup filled with cold milk and Oreo cookies that way we can dip it inside the cup. When everyone was done eating there delicious, snacks we were at Destiny Islands!

Everyone was so excited that we were at Destiny Island the place were its beautiful. Its a green land, with scented flowers. It even had a huge beach house. It had everything I could ever dream of, it felt like heaven. Everyones stomach was make rumbling noises, the noise sounded like clouds of thunder. We all were hungry so we ate lunch at the McDonald, the fast food restaurant. We all had Kids Meals and it was free so we didn't have to pay! “ But I didn't even have money in my pocket”, said Priya. So everyone rushed outside and ran all over the place and had fun.

I went on scavenger hunt and had a great time, I even won $100,000,000 for finding a rare golden egg. After that I went to the beach to make a sandcastle, and it was 6:00clock. We all only had 3 more hours to play. When I was done building my huge, gigantic, sandcastle it was 8:00clock!!! “ Oh know we only have 1hour to play know, Awww!!! We all went to a restaurant that was “Olive Garden” to have dinner. We all made our own creative food, and we even got to watch The SpongeBob Movie. Then it was 9:00clock we had to go onto the train and go home. We all made it on time and said thank you to Mr.P.J for taking us too Destiny Islands. We all ran into our house's and changed into our P.J's then brushed our teeth and went into bed before the babysitters would thaw out.

“All of a sudden I was waking up and all of what happened was a dream.” I know it was a dream because my parents were going and to work and said “grandma will be babysitting you for the whole day.” In my dream my parent were already at work and they left me with a mean babysitter. “ Maybe if I keep dreaming “My Dream On A Train” it might really come true.



So did you like my fantasy story. Priya's dream going on a train came true on her 6th birthday. She had an adventure of her life time. She even went on train with her family, for a trip to California. They all had a fantastic trip to California. They thought that they might go on trains every now and then.



The End

When I Got My Finger Stuck Inside A Whistle

Article posted March 17, 2011 at 02:23 AM GMT0 • Reads 262

       One summer like spring, morning, I was playing “ Camp” with my little baby brother and sister. We were pretending that they were the students and I was the leader in charge of them. I was wearing a whistle. I had a clipboard and wrote down my brother's and sister's names. I also wrote down a list about what to do.

     We were putting up a Spider – Man tent. When we were done setting up the tent inside our house, we went inside and we were all crowded, and jammed. When we were about to sleep inside the tent, we thought that we will whine about each others feet going in each others faces. So we thought that we might just sleep in our bed rooms.

     After that, we went outside and had a scavenger hunt. When they found all of the plastic eggs, we saw who was going to win, and it was a tie.

     I kept blowing my whistle and said, “ It’s time to color in our coloring books!” We got the coloring books out, we got the crayons out, and started coloring. When I blew my whistle they dropped their crayons on the table. When I was checking their work they both just scribbled on the paper.

     Later on in the day, I let them watch a movie. So I tip toed up into my room. All of a sudden I had this little, tiny piece of crayon stuck in my whistle! So I put my skinniest finger inside the hole and that finger was my pinkie. All of a sudden the piece of crayon came out and my pinkie was stuck in there, Ouchhhh=http://

     It really hurt, I was crying and I was trying to get my finger out of the hole with soap, but it didn’t work. Then I came crying to my dad, and told him my finger was stuck in my whistle. All what he did was told me to calm down, then he just pulled my finger out. Then my Dad told me to not do that ever again. My finger was red and I had to put a cold batch of ice on my poor, red, tiny, pinkie. So a couple weeks later my finger was as good as new.

The VAB is One of the Largest Buildings in the World?

   One of the largest buildings in the world is called “The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)”.This is place where the Space Shuttle comes together as a complete vehicle ( a vehicle is a thing used for transporting people or goods). It was built for assembly and checkouts of the Apollo/Saturn vehicles and was later changed for the Space Shuttle program.

   The Low Bay and the High Bay is two main areas for the VAB. When you look at the High Bay is the main part of the VAB. The Eastern half of the High Bay is used to stack the Solid Rocket Busters, ( SRB), mate the External Tank (ET) to the SRBs, and mate the Orbiter to ET.

   The Western half is used for receiving and check out ETs and to provide a Safe Haven for A Space Shuttle just in case of a roll- back due to a hurricane. The western part is being modified to store an Orbiter. This will allow an Orbiter Processing Facility to accept another shuttle for processing. As the flight rates increase the support the International Space Station effort, this modification will be important to support NASA's aggressive flight manifest.

   The Low Bay area is at the Southern half of the building. Serves as a holding and processing area for the SRB for- A completed flight element assembled in the VAB ward assemblies and Ground Support Equipment. Upper floors of the low bay area is a processing and data communication.

 

Balloon Chip Bag Experiment

Article posted May 3, 2011 at 09:06 PM GMT0 • Reads 249

Description: We are attaching a green party balloon thats filled up with little air (Thats about ¼). A blue party balloon thats filled up about half way ( Thats about ½ ). A orange party balloon thats filled up all the way (Thats about all the way “Full”). A Cheetos bag. Then we will send it up in outer space, and we will put 3 of the balloons and the Cheetos bag to the top of one of our payloads. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on a high altitude balloon.



Hypothesis:

Green Balloon - My hypothesis is that the green balloon will expand and will grow bigger but it will not pop because it will just be a median size balloon.



Blue Balloon - My hypothesis is that the blue balloon will become larger and then it will pop because when it grows larger it will get more air and will expand more and it will not take it anymore and will just pop.



Orange Balloon - My hypothesis is that the orange balloon will develop more air and will pop because the balloon is developing more air and the orange balloon will already be a full size and will become more bigger and will pop.



Bag Of Chips - My hypothesis is that the bag of chips will not pop because its sealed tightly and will stay sealed and will just not pop open because the very little air in space will not be enough to make the bag of chips pop open.



What do you think will happen?

Balloon Experiment Results

By: Priya







Description: We are attaching a green party balloon thats filled up with little air (Thats about ¼). A blue party balloon thats filled up about half way ( Thats about ½ ). A orange party balloon thats filled up all the way (Thats about all the way “Full”). A Cheetos bag. Then we will send it up in outer space, and we will put 3 of the balloons and the Cheetos bag to the top of one of our payloads. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on a high altitude balloon.



Hypothesis:

Green Balloon - My hypothesis is that the green balloon will expand and will grow bigger but it will not pop because it will just be a median size balloon.

Results - What actually happened - The higher the Green Balloon went up it was big as the top of the payload.







But then the big large balloon popped and the Green Balloon was about to pop. When the balloon came down the Green Balloon went back to its original size, and it never popped.







Blue Balloon - My hypothesis is that the blue balloon will become larger and then it will pop because when it grows larger it will get more air and will expand more and it will not take it anymore and will just pop.

Results - What actually happened - When the big balloon went up higher, the Blue Balloon got so big







that It popped.



When the Blue Balloon popped the piece of it came off of the payload and flew somewhere. When we got the payload back there was only a tiny piece of nubbins of the Blue Balloon.







Orange Balloon - My hypothesis is that the orange balloon will develop more air and will pop because the balloon is developing more air and the orange balloon will already be a full size and will become more bigger and will pop.

Results - What actually happened - What actually happened to the Orange balloon is that when it went up higher it grew so large







that it couldn't take it anymore and just burst!







When we got our payload back, we had a large piece of the orange balloon.







Bag Of Chips - My hypothesis is that the bag of chips will not pop because its sealed tightly and will stay sealed and will just not pop open because the very little air in space will not be enough to make the bag of chips pop open.

Results - What actually happened - The Chip Bag went up high and it appeared to get a small hole inside it. It also let out some of the air inside the Chip Bag. But the Chip Bag didn't pop.











These are pictures that I think are cool.
