Baby



by Jacqueline



 



 



The important thing about babies is that they are cute. They would absolutely love a delicious, and very sweet brown chocolate that melts in their mouth. All that saliva comes right out of their mouth and they feel so happy inside because we gave him a chocolate that he likes. When babies cry they are sad and they feel like there going to explode for madness and a lot of wet tears are coming from there eyes that are very red and mad because of what happened to them and this even happened to my little brother he throws all the things and sometimes he is so mad that he hits my parents. You absolutely have to change there diapers because if you wouldn't they would make a mess and the planet would be a disaster with pampers all around the Earth. But the important thing about babies is that they are cute.

Coral Reefs

Article posted February 16, 2010 at 07:39 PM GMT0 • Reads 118







The impressive thing about coral reefs is that they are not rocks or plants. Coral reefs are little animals called polyps. They eat algae. Stony reefs have hard skeletons that are very thick. Many coral reefs are named after what they look like. But the marvelous thing about coral reefs is that they are not rocks or plants.                                                                                               The extraordinary thing about coral reefs is that lots of of fish live all around reefs. Some animals eat around reefs and some of them are shrimp, lobsters, crab, and starfish. Sometimes there are holes that could be homes for eel. Fish or eel live near reefs for safety. Fishes that are in groups are called schools of fish. But the great thing about coral reefs is that all kinds of fish live around reefs.                                                                     The sad thing about reefs is that they need a certain temperature or they would die. They can be damaged very easily. Fresh water kills reefs. Dirt can kill reefs by making it clog or another thing for clog is get stuck. But the outstanding thing about coral reefs is that they need a certain kind of temperature they would die.                                                                                      The awful thing about reefs is that boats have gas or oil that leaks and kills reefs. If the coral dies the reef dies. Bacterias destroy reefs. If reef do not have algae they die. People use poisonous for fishing and kill reefs. But the bad thing about reefs is that boats have gas or oil that leaks and kills reef.                                                                                                                      The great thing about reefs is that they are valuable. A lot of things in the ocean could be a type of medicine. 25% of the reefs are destroyed and half of them are damaged. Do not throw stuff because it damages reefs by making it sick because all the germs kill them. Everybody has to help keep reefs alive because they are valuable. But the delightful thing about reefs is that they are valuable.

The Legend Of Nessie

Article posted March 1, 2010 at 07:41 PM GMT0 • Reads 131

The legend of Nessie is mysterious to me because the people that work in a company that is in Ireland don't now if it is true or if it is not true that Nessie even if people say that it is true and sign papers saying it is true. Some times what they call Nessie might be a grey seal. One of the mans in the story I read said that he has seen Nessie more than ones because he lives in Ireland. Some people say that they lived when dinosaurs lived and some how it survived and the land was landlocked and they got trapped. People want to take a picture of Nessie because they want to say I told you that we saw Nessie.

* The Day We Skiped With A Class In Brigantine New Jersey

Article posted March 26, 2010 at 08:11 PM GMT0 • Reads 146



One day we Skyped with school in Brigantine. Brigantine is an island in New Jersey. A girl that was 5 years old chatted with us. She asked us some questions. She asked us if we lived near mountains or deserts. We told her that we do live in a desert. We live in Sparks, Nevada and Nevada is a desert. She asked us how was the weather here too. We told her it was pretty hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. They said it was the same over there. I think that is cool because we live in a desert and they live in a island. They said that their favorite food was pizza, cheese burger, vegetables, sea food, and fruits. Their favorite music actor was Taylor swift. At recess they said they liked to play on the bars or soccer. We only said soccer because most of us just play soccer. They liked to play the wii and liked to go swimming. One girl said she liked to go shopping. In summer we said it was 90 degrees and they said it was the same over there too. The kids asked us if we lived by the Grand Cannon and we said no. We did not get to talk with the real teacher because she had to go to a meting so she had a teacher that was still not a lerning to be a real teacher. Everybody had a smile. A kid showed his teeth. I asked if they had an art teacher and they said yes.

Our Atmosphere Project

One day we did an experiment with our teacher and we used two cans with half an inch of water in them. We started boiling the water in the can. The can did not crush because the air pressure was the same because they both were pushing the same on the inside and the outside. In the can there was a lot of steam and it filled the whole can with just using about four drops of water. Then when we put the can in the cold water and covered the hole air was not pushing from the inside so it crushed because it was pushing from the outside.

When the tissue paper was getting burned it was getting lighter and lighter. At the end the paper was so light that it went up to the ceiling. When it came back down it was not hot and Mr. Crosby got it. I even got to touch it and it was very light, it even got on my finger a little and it was black. That project that we did was cool.

Today we are going to launch and we are waiting for it to be 9:30 and they were filling the balloon with hydrogen. When they were filling the balloon with the gas our class and the other classes were taking pictures. On our payload we put normal little balloons and they were all different sizes. One was small the other was medium and the last one was big the other payload had hot cheetos on it we think that on the camera that it was going to show on it so we could see when it explodes. Right now the balloon exploded and it landed over by pyramid lake.

The Time I Went Over 100,000 Feet As A Balloon

Article posted June 4, 2010 at 10:46 PM GMT0 • Reads 140

One day I was sitting in the factory where I was made. The box was yellow and I was all squished inside it. I was lonely inside the box. I was there in the factory maybe all ready for 1 week.



DSC03485



I started to get out of the box and I tried and tried but I could not get out. Then finally 4 days passed and I got out. A hand grabbed my box, I was really excited because I was made to fly up to the sky, and this day was the luckiest day because they were grabbing me. That day the people that worked in the factory put me in the mail and I was sent to a place that I did not know. Then finally they started to open the box with a knife.



 



DSC03486



 



The cool air hit me and it felt very comfortable. I was confused of where I was. There were a lot of things that are used for learning. Well of course I do not learn but students do so I thought it was a classroom, and it was. Then a big object got me from the box. It was gigantic, it was hairy too. I tried to get away from it but I did not get to get away because it was too big and fast and it got me. After that I saw lots of the same kinds of objects like the one that got me. They had hair which I did not have because as you now high altitude balloons do not have hair. They had colorful stuff on too. I only had a brown thing on. They all called the thing that grabbed me Mr. Taylor, so I thought his name was that. I felt kind of wrinkly because I was in the box a long time. That was what made me feel wrinkly. Then they put me in the box again and the next day they got me out again and they laid me on a plastic sheet. I thought I was famous and was on the red carpet but the plastic was really black so of course it was not going to be the red carpet. I think I was still famous but instead it was the black carpet.



 



DSC03484



 



That day they left me there for about half an hour, and I felt very very bored, but I could not just leave that place because I was made to fly, So I stated to play with some puffy things a little so I was not bored anymore. I was looking at the puffy things that were in the air and some looked like real things and one of course looked like me! It looked so cute and little. Maybe that was me as a baby and that is why it looked so little. One looked like it was a box. I thought it was the box I was in. It turned out it was not because after awhile it went away.



 



IMG_1900



 



Then after I saw that, they grabbed me again and I was very excited because it was the time I was going to fly. When they got me they got another thing too. I found out it was going to be hydrogen gas. I was now worried, but excited too. I wanted it to be helium because helium does not explode and hydrogen does. Then they started to put the gas in me and I was getting fatter and fatter. The gas was tasty because it tasted like grape soda. They put a rope on me and my bottom got tied. Suddenly I heard a voice say, “Hey Jacqueline look I think it feels fat”. Then I remembered my name was that. I thought she was going to do the same thing as me but then I thought and I figured out she was not because they never put a rope on her and they did on me.



 



DSC06481



 



I found out they were called people. Then I saw that they had some payloads and they were going to put them on the rope. They put the payloads on the rope I had on. They started up the camera on each payload and they got everything ready in the payloads. Then they were about to let me go when it was about 9: 30 and they started to count down and they went like 5 - 4 – 3 - 2 and 1. They let me go and I was so happy! I was kind of scared when they let go, but because I was so happy I was not even scared.



 



DSC06488



 



I started to look down and the people looked like ants, and the the kids looked like super baby miniature dots. They looked like they were barely born. I think they were 9-10 because I heard them say I am 10 and another one said but I am 9 and that is not fair. I was so high now I could not even see the people because they were so tiny. At first I thought it was not going to be so cold but it was freezing. When I was trying to snuggle up because it was cold a big wind came up. I do not now why but each time I was getting bigger and bigger. I was getting bored because I was not doing anything. So now I told you why I was getting bored. Then I remembered that little game I was doing with the puffy things so I started to play with them again and I saw lots of triangles and weird circles. They had other little circles on them and that is why they were weird. Then I saw squares but most of all I saw ovals with the other little circles on them. Suddenly I saw another balloon that looked just like me. I asked her what her name was and she said her name was Claudia and I told her hi, do you want to be my friend? She said yes of course I would like to. Then the wind started to blow right and we both blew right. Then the wind was blowing left so we both blew left. Suddenly we were blowing different ways and I was puzzled because how could we blow different ways? Then I figured out that we were blowing different ways because I was in a different way then her, I was in the top and she was on the bottom of me. Then I saw that she was getting fatter and bigger too. Then I felt more fat and big and that was because I had more hydrogen in me. I saw that my new friend, Claudia, looked like an elephant and I felt like I was a hippopotamus, but I was not really. Then the clouds did not show anymore and the air was getting colder and colder and I think I was almost as cold as ice. Claudia asked me if I was cold because I looked like an ice cube, but I was not. I was getting so fat I could not breath. Suddenly I felt like the biggest balloon ever. I was about to pop and that was good because I felt very weird because I had too much air in me, So did Claudia. Suddenly I felt like I could not talk anymore and I told Claudia that and she said that she felt the same. I could not talk for real then pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



 



IMG_2177



 



I felt released because I was as big as the classroom I was in before and that class was gigantic. So were the people but this time I was going to impress the people by how big I was because I was all stretched. I was all stretched because I had been too big and fat. I was bored because I did not have anything to do and all I had was part of my body, but then I saw Claudia and I said Claudia I meet you again. I started to see clouds again they looked beautiful. Most of all I liked them because they were puffy and very soft. We started to play with the puffy thing again with Claudia. When we saw the ground again it was pretty cool because it looked small and you could see all kinds of buildings and they were tall and some were not tall. Then we blew right and the buildings disappeared and we started to see grasslands and there was a lot of grassland. I was getting so close to the ground that I could hear birds again and I could see trees. I saw that there was a bush in he way where I was landing. I was about to land when I was saved by the wind. I was saved by the wind because right when I was going to land the wind just blew me away from there. Then I saw Claudia and I said Claudia I see you again. I saw someone named Briana and I said hi. She said that she wanted to be our friend so we said okay.



 



IMG_2222



 



We were hanging around with each other when I heard a noise that sounded like a car. It was a car and it was the University of Nevada people and they were about to get us then they took us to the school again and they were going to show us three to the kids. The kids were very exited and they were very happy too. When they took us to the class the kids were smelling us and they said we stunk but I felt like I smelled like roses. They took me to another class and the kids said the same thing about the stink thing. Lastly I was in the trash because no one wanted to smell me and that is my story about me.
