The lats samurai

2009-05-14T18:42:00.000-07:00

The movie's back ground is In the 1870s. Captain Nathan Algren, a cynical veteran of the American Civil war who will work for anyone because this is his job. Actually he didn't like the job which kill lots of innocent people only because of his leader ask he to do. During the journey, he met his best partner who can cooperate with him to fight the enemies and changes he. not only the skill of fight but also physical. For example, no more nightmare without suka.
he also dosen't his still have boring life any more. The movie teacher that although we are improve we still can't forget our own stuff and remember who we are. Not just copy the same thing from other.

Trip to amusement park but still have homework

2009-05-10T06:29:00.000-07:00

Trip to amusement park but still have homework. Such a nice teacher uh!?
About the Newton's 3 law of example: When I do the Roller coaster one. My body will move forward when the coaster started and when the coaster stop in the moment, my body will move front. Because of the Newton's first law.
F=ma is Newton second law and I also have an example. The free drop things, there have 20 seat in that machine. If we pretend the average of 20 people's weight is 20, we need 9800N to carry people up. Because of the mass is 10000kg; acceleration is 9.8m/s2. To put in the formula " F=ma" and we can got 9800N.
I think there are some facilities need to do with kinetic and static friction although all of facilities are work by electricity.
For example, the facility which the boat go up in to the volcano and go down. I've noticed that when the machine bring us on need to stop in the tiny second, and I guess may be the machine is pushing the boat until against to the static friction. After the boat move then the machine don't need to spend that many force to push the boat because of the kinetic force is smaller that the static force.

climate change flection

2009-03-30T23:19:00.000-07:00

24% of the Earth's land is degrading, some of it formerly quite productive. This is the first accurate satellite based quantification of land degradation. Prior to this it was assumed to be limited to 15%. Land degradation -- the decline in the quality of soil, water and vegetation. Climate change also can influence the soil. For example, when the whether is big sun. The water in the soil will be evaporated but the salt dissolve in the water can't bring up to the air and stay at the ground. The vegetation might be died and poisonous when it keep absorb salt. The same situation happened on Mesopotamia and cause the civilization collapse. So we need to think the way and try to avoid the climate change quickly. Otherwise most of current civilization will been collapsed and people will also died by hungry, social disorder, warfare......

Oyster omelet is Taiwanese's love you can see it at every city. In Hsinchu, Oyster omelet gather place is at Chenghuang Temple. When you hungry at night and want to buy some food, chicken bum is a good choice, fry and Assorted spiced are both absolutely yammy.

drawing a sketch

2009-03-03T06:22:00.000-08:00

In general, a sketch is a quick way to record an idea or picture for later use. So the most important is to draw what you see. The feature need to be drawn specifically and correctly so that the person who reads it can get the correct information. A sketch is important in the scientific method because it can give a visual image to anyone who sees it. In sketches, shadings of light and dark can be drawn. Shadows can also be drawn. Instead of flat objects draw, shadows and lighting can make objects look abstract.

I sometimes neglect to sketch because I forget which side I should draw lighter or darker so that it will look more abstract. And for shadows, it should be in the opposite direction of where the light is shining.

Therefore, sketching is an important part in the scientific method because lighting and shadowing is important in drawing an observation.

~Back to jungle ~

Submarine SMASH Day Reflection

2009-02-12T22:38:00.000-08:00

We are in the yellow submarine~ yellow submarine~
We need to make a glass that you can see up on the ocean in the yellow submarine.
My mission is to think of the idea that we can seat under the table but can see inside the box on the table .
We modify and design all the time, we test whether can see in the box or not, every we change the angel or switch the place of mirror. If we can see the box but not clear or the angle was wrong, we'll modify to the right way.
If the mirror we put didn't help us to see more, we might take it off and design the another part is useful to us.

Early babies "exposed to toxins"

2009-01-19T21:34:00.000-08:00

Some medicines routinely given to premature babies expose them to potentially harmful levels of chemicals, British research suggests.
Some contained chemicals linked to nerve damage, they wrote in Archives of Disease in Childhood.However, premature baby charity Bliss said that such medicines could be "vital" in saving the baby's life. Although prescription medicines need to be rigorously tested before being licensed for use in the UK, this does not necessarily mean they have been tested with children, or babies, in mind. Instead, doctors must often use their judgment to work out the safe dose for a tiny baby of a medicine designed for an adult or a much older child.

smash day refection......

2009-01-05T21:15:00.000-08:00

Today is happy smash day. We need to find the fastest way to get the highest point by shooting metal ball.
The five student outcomes are being a person of high character, effective communicator, critical thinker and problem solver, active learner and community contributor. I am five of the critical thinker. I think how can the metal ball can have the easiest way to get all the point,and the plastic paper put where and put what angle the metal ball weren't running out of the fixed route. I am also problem solver. Before stick plastic papers on the table I need to check whether the metal ball in the stable way or not. If not and I need to solve problems to let the ball fell into the cup. Although our team didn't get the first place but I learned a lot and I have happy day.

Obama V。S Economy

2008-11-24T06:46:00.000-08:00

For weeks the world has eagerly awaited word from the Obama transition team about the people who will head up the next American administration—the new secretaries of state and Treasury, the attorney general. But one of the more crucial positions in the Obama administration probably isn't going to be filled for months and will likely get little attention when it is—the post of U.S. ambassador to China.
I agree this opinion because everyone knows that China is a major power, not only the money for economy but also care about politics. The American need Beijing like never before. China is the key to America getting through the worsening economic crisis.In order to run up American's deficits—which could total somewhere between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion, or between 7 and 11 percent of GDP—someone has to buy American debt. And the only country that has the cash to do so is China. And China has two ways to keep its economy growing. One way is to finance the American consumer. But another way is to finance its own citizens, who are increasingly able to consume in large enough quantities to stimulate economic growth in China. They have options, but American don't. So there isn't really any other country that could finance the American deficit."

science skills

2008-11-03T22:39:00.000-08:00

5 papers to make a tower can bear 250g
1) For the support of the tallest tower, I made the circle, because circles have the least surface area. (can reduce the use of paper)
2) To make a tower stable, I made a support. We should make a bigger bottom surface area.
Those skills are useful because we are the winners in building this tower (83cm).
HA! HA! HA!

Liquid Column

2008-10-11T09:02:00.000-07:00

I think control some objects sink some object floated also some object floated in middle of factor is "density".Which bigger then liquid will sink ,lighter then liquid will float ,same with liquid will float in the middle.
I don't think the "mixed" one will separate by Monday.(I guess)

Is air matter?

2008-09-24T06:24:00.002-07:00

I think air is a matter cause matter mean anything that has mass and takes up space.

Air is the one of the states of matter - gases. A gas dose not have a definite shape.

In the way it is like a liquid but on the other hand it is unlike,a gas dose not take up

a definite amount of space. Because the particles of matter move about freely. Each

particle of space is big but if you pressurize it and the volume will change it.
