The Time I Saw A Ghost

Article posted October 14, 2010 at 10:22 PM GMT0 • Reads 110




 




Have you ever seen a Ghost. I have. On a dark and scary night. I was walking down stairs when I saw a dark shadow it looked like the legend baseball player Babe Ruth who died years ago. We were looking in each others eyes with a glare for about 5 minutes. When I flicked the light on the ghost disappeared.





I ran up stairs about 30 miles an hour to be safe from the ghost that looked like Babe Ruth. Before the ghost could return. I sobbed  like a water fall connected to the ocean.

The Gameboy

The Gameboy



One day I woke up for breakfast. When I went downstairs there were presents on the table because it was my birthday. My mom said I could open one present and only one present. I picked the one in the far corner wrapped in white ribbon.





I couldn't wait until I got all of the wrapping paper off. When I opened the box it was a purple and white striped Gameboy from my grandma. I gave her a big bear hug and said, “Thank you for my new Gameboy I already love it.”Then I saw a game in my new game boy ! It was PackMan, I love Pack Man! I’m excited that I have a game boy and a game to go with it. I felt like I’d explode into one hundred million pieces


in one hundred seconds. I thought my mom and grandma would have to mop me up.





                        


       Why I wrote this story: I wrote about this because my


      grandma died last year from old age.

 Disneyland                           By, Jacob





My mom and dad were planing this trip for a month. We had to pack our clothes, food, toothpaste a toothbrush or two. My little sister was asleep almost all the trip. We had to stop to use the bathroom and get candy from a gas station while the car was getting filed up with gas.


When we got to Disneyland my dad got the keys to our room.  But the rooms were too small, so my dad had to get a bigger room. We waited a long time for him to come back. He called my mom and said ”come over to room sixteen and seventeen”. Those rooms were perfect, they had two TVs  two bathrooms two fridge and four beds.


We barley made it to Disneyland that day. The first ride we went on was Buzz Light year Alien Attack. After that we got pretzels and sat down and watched Fantasmic. When it was over we went back to the hotel room ate dinner watched TV then went to sleep.

The TERRIFYING thing about Maniac Magee is that his parents died in the P&W trolley crashAnd just like that, he was an orphan.He was only three years old when his parents died.He was very sad that his parents died.





 



 





But the HORRIBLE thing about Maniac Magee is his parents died in the P&W trolley crash.The COOL thing about Maniac Magee is he punted a football farther then Brian ever thrown. Nobody laid a paw on him.Maniac stole the football from James ”Hands”Down.Maniac caught the football with one hand.





 



When he punted the football it was a perfect spiral and it went over 60 yards away.But the AWESOME thing about Maniac Magee is he punted a football farther then Brian ever thrown.The WICKED thing about Maniac Magee is that he ran on the railroad rail.Running on the rail is very very hard.It looked fake.Maniac was not scared.But the JAW-DROPPING thing about Maniac Magee is that he ran ON the railroad rail.

Mars



By Jacob            date 2/9/11



Planet Mars is also called the Red Planet or my favorite name the Red World. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.It resides with Earth (our planet), in the region of the solar system where liquid water can exist on the surface. The therefore the chance that life is (or once was) present on Mars remains a distinct possibility. Except for Earth, Mars has the most highly varied and interesting terrain of any of the terrestrial planets. Some of it quite spectacular: - Olympus Mons: the largest mountain in the Solar System rising 24 km (78,000 ft.) above the surrounding plain. Its base is more than 500 km in diameter and is rimmed by a cliff 6 km (20,000 ft) high. When it is in the nighttime sky, Mars is easily visible with the naked eye, its apparent brightness varies greatly according to its relative position to the Earth. Mike Harvey's planet finder charts show the current position of Mars (and the other planets) in the sky

Earthquake’s






Sometimes in some earthquakes the rattling is so strong, that some buildings get wrecked. Along with bridges. They might create long cracks in the ground.





Volcano's   






Suddenly the pressure grows and the volcano explodes. Most of the molten lava comes out of the top. Almost all of the ash comes down like rain on a Fall day.





Tsunami’s






When  tsunami’s  approach the land they become large and giant waves. Most of the tsunami’s are

Which carries passengers and (usually) a source of heat, in most cases an open flame.A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air.Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or high-altitude balloons, a capsule).

Balloon Chip Bag Experiment

Article posted May 3, 2011 at 08:56 PM GMT0 • Reads 154

 



Description: We are going to attach a green party balloon filled about ¼ of the way, we are also sending a blue balloon filled about half of the way. The other balloon we are sending up is a orange balloon filled about full. And a snack size Cheetos bag all on a the top of the Payload. Next we will send the pay load up over 100,000 feet on a high altitude balloon.



 



Hypothesis:



Green balloon - I think it will not pop because it is the smallest balloon an needs more air in it.



 



Blue balloon - It might blow big but not pop.



 



Orange balloon - I think it will pop because it is the biggest balloon and it does not need much air.



 



Bag of chips - I don't think it will pop because it does not have as much air as last year.



 What do you think will happen.

Hypothesis:






 



Green balloon - I think it will not pop because it is the smallest balloon an needs more air in it.



 










Results-What actually happened – It was just like I thought it was. The green balloon was as big as the top of the payload and it kind of froze up at the altitude it was in.





 





 





 



 



Blue balloon - It will get lost in space.






 



Results-What actually happened – I was wrong the truth is the blue balloon popped but it only has a nub of knot that was tied at the bottom of the balloon. It was cool when we got to see the pictures from the payload.



Here is a picture from that payload.                                                            



 





 



 



Orange balloon - I think it will pop going down because it is the biggest balloon and it does not need much air.



  







Results-What actually happened – It was just like my guess but it popped on the way up not down.





 





 





 



 



Bag of chips - I don't think it will pop because it does not have as much air as last year.






 




Results-What actually happened – It had a little hole but no one knows where it is. The bag was deflated because of the little hole in the.
