Science Center

We went to the science centre and looked through microscopes at tiny organisms.  There was swamp water and we would take a dropper and put a bit of water and put it on a glass slide.  We would put it under the microscope and look at what was there.    It was so cool!  I found lots of organisms that had egg sacs and that was gross.  I also learned the parts of the microscope like the eye piece, the slide, the stage and the lenses.

There was also a new exhibit.  There were magnetic pieces that we could move to make a ball drop.  I had fun doing this.





Egg Challenge

For school, I did an egg challenge.  For the first one I took an egg, wrapped it up in 2 cloths, put elastics around it, put a grocery bag on the top and dropped it off the deck to see if the egg broke.  It did.
On the second attempt, I took a pool noodle, cut out 2 pieces, chopped open the top, put the egg in it, wrapped it in elastics, stuffed it with paper towel and dropped it. It bounced off the ground.  When I got to the bottom I opened it and it hadn't broken but then it bounced out of my hand and broke:)

Soccer Camp

I went to soccer camp for a week.  It was fun.  I won the Most Improved award.  I made a friend Yuliana and it turns out that in 100 Mile house she lived down the road from us and we both moved to Vernon.  I also met Madeline.
