scepter quartz and amethyst

Scepter Quartz is a naturally occurring crystal formation where the base of a crystal forms around a central crystal rod. Legend has it that Scepter Quartz Crystals were used as a symbol of spiritual authority and power of the realm in ancient Atlantis and Lemuria. Scepter Quartz Crystals have reemerged to bring crystal power to the present day. Scepter Quartz Crystals are excellent tools for the transmission of directional energy. Scepter Quartz combines the elemental energies of Storm with the directional power of Fire fostering creativity and encouraging action. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and owes its violet colour to irradiation, impurities of iron and in some cases other transition metals, and the presence of other trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions.

GRADE 4 GEOLOGIST

A geologist is a person that studies rocks.

MY EXPERIMENT!

The experiment that I did was that I excavated chocolate chips from a cookie.

My prediction was that I would find 7 chips on the top of my cookie and 4 on the bottom.

I found 17 chips on the top and 14 on the bottom.

Book review of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Book review of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.

In the beginning of Chapter 1 starts with Peter winning a turtle at Jimmie Farco’s birthday party. Peter names the turtle Dribble. He surprises his mom with the turtle. She does not like turtles because of their smell. Peter is nine and in fourth grade. He lives in New York City. We learn Peter has a problem with his younger brother Fudge.

In Chapter 2  Peter finds out that the president of the Juicy-O company are coming to New York. Peter’s dad invited them to stay in their apartment. Peter discovers that Fudge is going to have his sleep in his room. Peter’s mom is missing flowers they don’t know where the flowers are. They found out that Fudge ate the flowers. Peter also tastes a rose petal. He tried to chew it up but he could not, it tasted awful. He spit it out into the trash can. Mr and Mrs Yarby arrived and then fudge and Peter each get a present. Fudge ruins the dinner party by scaring mrs yarby twice.  Mr and Mrs Yarby leave and Peters dad’s loses the Juicy-O account with Mr and Mrs Yarby.

Then in Chapter 3 Fudge stops eating. To make Fudge eat, Peter’s mom made Peter stand on his head so Fudge would laugh and his mom stuffed potato in his mouth. Then Peter says he won’t stand on his head anymore. Fudge acts like a dog and so his mom feeds him under the table. Fudge keeps refusing to eat, when he doesn’t eat his cereal his Dad says “eat it or wear it”. Peter’s dad takes Fudge to the washroom and dumps it on his head. After that Fudge started to eat, and his favourite expression was eat it or wear it.

And in Chapter 4 they go to the park and find Sheila on their favorite rock. Sheila is left watching1 Fudge while Peter’s mom goes home. Fudge pretends he is a bird and jumps off the jungle gym and then he gets hurt. Peter’s mom blames Peter and gets mad at him. Then Peter goes to his room mad and plays with his turtle. In the morning Peter’s mom apologizes.

 

I would give it 5 stars because it is crazy. Funny and weird things happen all the time. It sounds a bit like my life story with my sister. Maybe she is not as bad as Fudge.

I would recommend because it is a good book for people that like funny stories.

 

◊Fudge-a crazy annoying brother

◊Peter-a smart 9 year old kid

◊peters mom-a person that is always 

‍◊sheila-a dumb ape-like kid

my opinion of the story is that it is a good story because it has a lot of funny and weird things happening on every page.

I think this is book is best suited for 7-11 year olds because the story links to those age groups.

I think that Fudge will dump Peter food on Peter’s head.

 

jeremy,

Innovation day science project

my project is a drelavator.

(a drelavator is a drawbridge and a elevator put together.)

My hypothesis:

The elevator will go up.

I will use one pulley that connects to the lift. my pulley will be made from a pencil because a pencil is strong and sturdy.

 

conclusion: 

my hypothesis was correct because I used one pulley and it worked. but I made some changes. my changes were that I made a drawbridge and an elevator.

Mayan – Science and Technology

 I am totally Exploring Science and Technology in the Mayan times compared to now. I think there are lots of similarities

The Mayan civilization used and created many pieces of technology including calendars, chocolate, numbers,  and letters.

The first one I will share with you is a drink that is related to hot cocoa. The cocoa beans inside were so valuable they even were used as currency. This is different to today because. It was not hot and it had chilli peppers.

The second one is calendars. This is different from the calendars in Canada because the calendars were round and made of stone. the ones that we use are square and made of paper. They had 3 calendars 2 main ones. We have only 1 calendar. 

 

Mayan advancements in technology tell us that they were very fast at developing because they were very smart people.

Greek gods blog

 

In this blog, I am giving information about greek mythology. My favourite greek god is Poseidon because he is the god of the sea and he has a cool trident. Poseidon has the ability to breathe under the water without oxygen tanks that could be handy. Different gods include Zeus,Hades,Apollo,Athena,Hestia,and Artemis. Greek mythology is fun to learn. You will learn more about the twelve Olympians. 

 

Greek Mythology is the gods, goddesses, heroes, and rituals of Ancient Greeks. The most popular Greek Mythology figures include Greek Gods like Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, Greek Goddesses like Aphrodite, Athena, and Titans like Kronos and atlas. My favourite greek god is Poseidon.

 

Another myth of Poseidon is, of course, him making earthquakes, floods, and tidal waves. It is said he did this by striking the ground of Mount Olympus with his trident. This would cause the earth to shake and the huge waves cause floods. Poseidon’s trident was also used to shatter many objects. He would shatter things when he would get angry or upset.

 

Poseidon was the god of seas, so sailors relied on him. The sailors and sea-goers relied on Poseidon for a safe and smooth voyage. If Poseidon got angry or upset he could make huge tidal waves. These waves then could cause shipwrecks and deaths. Many sailors drowned their horses to honour Poseidon. This was a huge deal because horses were prized possessions. They thought if they did this Poseidon would give them a nice and safe voyage.

Thank you for listening. I hope you learned some new things about greek mythology.

p.s.there is so much more to learn

science blog?!?!?!?!?!

 

In this blog, we learned about light.

Did you know that light travels in waves?  

 

light bounces off of objects, It also refracts. light can be natural or artificial. artificial light is man-made light. Natural light is not man-made. light is a very interesting subject.

 

Light bounces off of objects or absorbs in the objects. light does very interesting things. The definition of light is a source of illumination, whether a natural one ( the sun) or an artificial one (like a lamp). Like light itself, the word can take a lot of different forms — it can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb, and it can mean bright or not heavy.  This is just a tiny bit of what you can learn about light.

 Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I hope you learned a lot of stuff, for some random reason I think you did.
