Egg Drop

I think the reason my egg drop was good is because of our parachutes. Keith and I decided to use one big parachute on the 12 foot drop and add a second smaller one on the bigger drop. Ours worked excellently and went down at about like 2 1/2 feet per second so it did pretty well. Also, I think it worked well because we had a back up plan. Using a plastic bag and some paper towels, we had the egg wrapped up safely just in case the parachutes didn't work and didn't slow it down enough.


I was disapointed when the egg didn't make it the second time we dropped it from the tall one. Even though we had to take off the parachutes, I thought that we did a good enough job protecting the egg that it would still live. I thought wrong. I think we could have improved our drop a little better by using something other than paper towels. Cotton might have worked better. But ah well, better luck next time.

I learned how to fly a spacecraft into outerspace. And how to order room service. i also learned that you can lose feeling in a body part if u get stung by a jellyfish.

World War 1

What I learned in my research paper is almost everything about World War 1. I learned tanks were invented during this war and torpedos were used for submarines. It was a very important war in the history of the world. It was very bad.

Iditarod

The Iditarod, if you didn't know is the hardest race on Earth. It is a dogsled race all the way across Alaska. Mushers have to mush across ar least 1,000 miles of hard, snowy terrain. The Alaskan outback is full of hard turns and rough ground while the Alaskan fronteir is filled with mountains and hills that the mushers and their dogs have to climb to get over. My favorite mushers are Lance Mackey and Bruce Linton. Lance Mackey has been through throat cancer and still has won three Iditarods in a row! Bruce Linton has diabetes and is a very good role model for diabetics around the world. He is living proof that diabetics can do anything if they put their mind to it. He has done two Iditarods, three ironmans, and five marathons! I like him because my friend is a diabetic and i want him to be all he can be.
