SCIENCE FAIR 2013

I had a good science fair

National Robotics Week

What:  National Robotics Week

When: April 6, 2013 - April 14, 2013

Where: Museum of Science and Industry

Who: Sponsored by: The iRobot Corportation

My science project is about the best kind of shield for egg dropping.   My hypothesis was   that the egg will not crack if I dropped it when it was shielded the right way.  I used a foam box to protect my egg .   I was not wrong. So I got happy.  Now I am done.

We're Ready for a Picnic!

Today we looked at prices of insulated coolers at Wal-Mart.  The cheapest hard one was $9.88.  The most expensive was $619.00.

Wii Pro Controller

I am trying to buy this remote because it does two jobs.  Instead of me trying to use a regular Wii  remote and a Wii nunchuck, I can just use a Wii Pro controller.  

Here is my special request:  MOM, WOULD YOU PLEASE BUY ME THIS THIS WEEKEND? I found it online for $9.  GameStop also sells it for a little bit more.

Find Perimeter

Example 1: the perimeter of this rectangle is 7+3+7+3 = 20

Find Area

To find the area of a square or rectangle, multiply Length x Width.
Write it as a formula also:

A = l (in cursive) x w

Here are the other formulas to find area of different figures.

Today's black history fact

Today we honor James E. West.  

He was born on February 10, 1931.

Ninety percent of microphones used today are based on the ingenuity of 

James Edward West, an African-American inventor.  

If you’ve ever talked on the telephone, you’ve probably used his invention.  

DR. HENRY T. SAMPSON

He was born in 1934.

He is known for inventing the GAMMA ELECTRIC CELL, which converts radiation directly into electricity.  He also wrote books and produced documentary films about overlooked African-American filmmakers of the 19th and 20th century.
