New Science Project
May 15th, 2008 by hammond
It was 100 degrees; blobs of sweat were drooping down my face like if I had just come out of a pool. I could taste the sour and salty sweat that was now raining off of my chin onto the cheap floor that can barely last a couple of more ears until it collapses. I am in science class like usual on Thursdays, Tuesdays, and Mondays. We usually do not challenge our minds that much and go over 2 chapters, take notes, and answer the bore some questions on the end of the section. We were supposed to have a lab on magnets about the north and south poles and the magnetic field. The ant sized dial and the 2 cm compass was moving toward the north and south poles of the weak ancient magnet. Since this wasn’t working out that well because of the weak and old magnets loosing their magnetism, our teacher told us that we were going to have a lab that was going to last for the rest of the year. Have you ever had finals, this is just like them, you are going to need to know all that you have studied to be able to pass your test, in this case, create the project. I thought that this was going to be a boring, dull, and torturous project that was going to be fatal toward our grade and our day. In my mind was thinking, oh no, not another science project like our last one. We had to create a Rube Goldberg machine with more than three different types of simple machines and make a volleyball knock down some plastic bowling pins. So, of course I thought it was going to be super hard, especially since it’s going to last the rest of the year. No, I am actually more excited than a kid buying a dog. Have you seen that, the kids are so excited that they start jumping up and down like monkeys on ropes with tourists around. So, I am very excited and am choosing one of the four options we have. I will post a part two after finishing the project and tell you what project I picked and how it came out and functioned!
