3^rd BLOG POST

Today for my third blog post I will be talking about a book called the trap. The trap is by Andrew fukuda and is the third book in the trilogy, so you’ll have to read the first book called the hunt to understand the whole trilogy. 

 The book is about a boy and girl named gene and sissy who are living in a world of blood thirsty vampires fighting their way to freedom,

 And in the beginning of the book they find that they are the cure to turning the creatures back to humans the cure is called the origin, which is in genes and sissy’s blood together. And that’s all I can tell for now but you can read this exiting and spine thrilling book to know more! Thank you.

The science project

           For our science project, we are creating a bridge which is made out of spaghetti. The bridge must be no more than 220 grams, and consist of a mixture of raw spaghetti with white glue. The bridge must expand to at least 30 cm in length, and have a gap between two supporting desks. The bridge must be a minimum of 5 cm in width. This project is graded on the Mass, Design, Aesthetics, and construction of the bridge. Additionally, the guidelines, dimensions, the Lab report, and the stability of the bridge. (The lab report is the information that we gathered on things like the strength, stability, design, and the overall construction of the bridge and how it turned out). The object of this project is to create a bridge based on the notes and what we learned in class, and apply it using the information we have, and to build the strongest possible bridge from spaghetti and white glue.

             The bridge itself is due to be completed by Wednesday, March 26. The lab report is due on Friday, March 28. The reason the lab report is due Friday is because we need to test the bridge in order to answer some of the questions that is on the lab report. We will be testing the weight of the bridge to make sure it is 220 grams. We'll also be testing the bridge on it's stability. The structural efficiency will be calculated as well. We will be testing the bridge on how much mass it can support. In order for the marks to count, the mass has to at least support for 5 seconds in order to place additional weight. The testing will be on Wednesday, March 26. I wonder who's bridge can hold the most weight? We'll wait and see who's stands the longest, and who's bridge will collapse first. Thank you for listening to my presentation, and have a great day.

                        On Thursday March the sixth and seventh we had the day off because of a water main break on Pembina. This occurrence at first let us have limited water, but that quickly ran out so we were sent home. On Friday we also had no water on Friday that is why we missed that day too. On Monday and Tuesday we had water, but it was discolored so we were advised not to drink it. This has also resulted in many families having discolored water. Lastly on the seventeenth we had another water main break causing a small amount of water.

            In Science we are currently learning about Forces.  A force can be described as a push or pull acting on an object.  Force would usually be measured in Newtons (N).  Mass is the measure of the amount of material that is in an object; Weight is the force of gravity pulling an object towards another. All objects have a gravitational force, but most are not big enough to be noticeable. The larger an object’s mass, the stronger the gravitational force. Magnitude is the measure of how strong a force is.  Vector is quantity that has a magnitude (amount) and direction.

There are different types of forces and weights  that act upon an object.  Compression is a force which crushes a material by sqeezing it.  Tension is a force which pulls apart a material.  Torsion is a twisting force that twists both ends of a material in opposite directions.  Shear is a force that tears a material in opposite directions.  Live load is the weight of things (people, furniture, wind, etc.) in or on a structure.  Dead load is the weight of the structure itself.

These are most of the things that we covered in Science for the beginning of our new unit.
