Boats and the Revenge of Water


The next day I made a boat out of paper. I figured out how to make it by looking at another boat. I don’t know who made it. I found it in my class room. It floated well.









The science of boat flowing is this. The boat has to be lighter than the water that it pushed out. Otherwise the water cannot carry the boat and it will down into water. And it will go -- kloplump! When I put boat on the water, the boat pushed some water away and the water decided to take revenge -- it pushed the boat back.

And then my sister took picture of my boats.
After that my sister took pictures of flowers because the flowers were pretty.


Today I made a super airplane from paper. It flew so far. First, my father got a book called “Super Paper Airplanes.” Who wrote it? Norman Schmidt. We found in this book how to make an airplane called “sky bird.” We used paper, scissors, ruler, and glue.

My father made the first airplane. He told me to make another one after that. I made the same plane as my father except I put a heavy piece of paper on the wrong. It made the plane to fall backwards. I took the whole thing off and put the heavy piece in the right place.

The science of airplane is that air force pushes more on the bottom than on the top. If air force would push the wrong way, then the gravity force would pull airplane down. If it goes the right way, it does not fall down and flies.

London Bridge is falling down, falling down!

Today I made a new experiment out of Ferric Ammonium Sulfate and potassium carbonate Na2CO3.

They reacted with each other by bubbling and making two colors: red and orange.
After that I took cobalt chloride and put it in water. It was pink. Then I put something called Ammonia. It was yellow. When they mixed, it turned Blue!

Ferric is cool8. Wrong thing.
