Anemometer (6TH GRADE)
An anemometer is a device that catches wind and allows you to measure wind speed. For science, we had to build one. Here is my anemometer.

The Human Brain (5th Grade Lesson)
The human brain is... weird. It is a great machine, but there are no instructions for it. The brain can be the best calculator, a computer, and any kind of tool to solve a problem. However, the brain is being rotted by TV's, video games, ect. It is OK to play video games and watch TV in moderation, but kids crossed the moderation line a few decades ago. A cause of this is illiteracy. This harms children's futures and careers. Do something to save your brain. (Also try reading... it's fun!)

Circuits (Rube-Goldberg [humdinger] Project)
Our class is doing a Rube-Goldberg machine project. We were given a bag of supplies such as a bell, a motor, paper clips, wooden parts, clothe pins, a battery, and some wires. We need to make a humdinger.More Coming Soon... We need to do the experiment...

Electricity and Circuits 4th Grade
Electricity is energy that powers things. Without it, there would be no light bulbs, cars, computers, TV's, powered stoves, fridges, and gaming consoles. We use electricity every day, and it may seem simple, but circuits can be very complicated. First there are open and closed circuits. All circuits need a power source to work. They also need to be a Closed Circuit (below). A battery has a positive (+) side and a negative (-) side. The positive one gives the energy and the negative on receives the used energy. The circuit MUST start at the positive side and end at the negative side of the battery. This is pretty basic stuff, but it can be WAY more complicated.

Earth 4th Grade
Earth, also called the world and, less frequently, Gaia, (or Terra in
some works of science fiction) is the
third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to accommodate life. The earliest life
on Earth arose at least 3.5 billion years ago. Earth's biodiversity has expanded continually except when interrupted bymass extinctions. Although
scholars estimate that over 99 percent of all species that ever lived on the
planet are extinct, Earth
is currently home to 10–14 million species of life, including over billion humans who depend upon its biosphere and minerals. Earth's human
population is divided among about
two hundred sovereign states which interact through diplomacy, conflict, travel,
trade and communication media.
Eco-Systems (and some natural systems/functions) 4th Grade
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic component are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms, and between organisms and their environment, they can be of any size but usually encompass specific, limited spaces (although some scientists say that the entire planet is an ecosystem).
