A solar eclipse is when the moon goes in front of the sun during the day creating a giant ring with a big black circle. You are not supposed to look directly at this but it makes it very dark outside. There are many recorded on video but the one I like to watch is the one on a website when the solar eclipse was in China.

In science we have been learning about the solar system. Apparently, a star's light is over a million miles away and it is just now reaching us. A star is just a gas like the sun. Just kidding. The stars are gas but the sun is a plasma. They used to think the sun was a gas but then they realized that the sun was too hot to be a gas so now it is a plasma.

I was typing up a story on my laptop when my brother comes up to me and asks how the words show up on the screen. I couldn't really tell him because I hardly know. But, I do know that over 4 thousand laptops are made in a month and that they have to program everything on to it. They also have to test it to see if it works.

The other day I was playing on the computer on this website called poptropica. I was getting frustrated because my character would jump when I wanted her to go forward. Then I was wondering how video games are made and how long it takes. The creators have to make every link and every little thing that goes on inside that screen in front of you. If I remember correctly, the people who created poptropica used robots as well as computers to create it.

Mixing colors of light and mixing colors of paint is different because if you mix light it reflects all the colors. If you mix paint it absorbs all of the colors. Say you have green and red lights, if you shine it on something you can see both lights still. If you mix red and green paint it absorbs the colors and gives you a different color. It is the same for all colors of light and piant.

Bioluminescence is a light created by chemical reactions occuring in special cells of an organism. Bioluminescense occurs most often in the marine life. It can also occur in some fungi and insects. Bioluminescense produces mostly green, yellow, blue, and red light.

As the sun's light hits the Earth and enters the atmosphere it bounces off of the particles in the air and scatters all around the sky. The blue light though scatters more easily. Therefore as it scatters it illuminates the atmosphere. Thus making the sky blue. This is why the sky appears blue to us.

Did you know that the colors we see are apart of science? White light has all the colors of the rainbow in it. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and indigo all make up the color spectrum. As the white light hit a prism it separates the colors and makes it to where we can see it. If we shine a red light on a red apple the apple will still appear red because the red light is reflecting against the apple to our eyes still appearing red. If we shine a green light on the apple it will appear green. If we shine black light it will appear black becaus eblack light ABSORBS all the colors of the rainbow while white light REFLECTS all the colors of the rainbow.

Does your school have a smartboard? Mine, does and guess what it is made up of science. In order to be able to draw on it with your finger, click through things, type, look up, and color with the touch of your hand proves how far science and technology has come. Everything you need is in the palm of your hand.

Have you ever wondered how snow sticks together but doesn't melt? I did to but my science teacher when I was in sixth grade at Nelsen Middle School Ms. Christansen told me that it is because snow has particles that when they are around eachother they keep eachother cold so that they cant melt until heat acts upon it.

Hold a pencil six feet off the ground. Let go, what happens? When a pencil falls to the ground it is called gravity. The Earth's core has something that is like a magnetic field that pulls us towards it. Gravity is another discovery by Newton.

When I was a kid I remember playing on the seasaws with my sister. A seasaw is a lever. A lever is a simple machine. Whatever goes up something must come down. A seasaw is a first class lever. There are three classes of levers. You can push or lift on a lever. Simple machines are science.

Have you ever moved? Well, if you have then you have probably experienced sliding a box across hardwood floors right? When you slide a box across floors it is called sliding friction. Sliding friction is when two forces act together moving in different directions. Every time I moved so far, I had to slide boxes across the floor because I got too tired to carry it.

My cellphone has science in it. It took science to come up with a cellphone. The scientists have to figure out how to make the calls come and go wirelessly. Then, they have to figure out all the cool features that make people want to buy that specific phone type and phone brand. They also have to make sure everything on that phone works.

When you are using a flat iron you are using science. The flat iron is heated by the wire where the wire is pluged into the outlet and the out has electricity to start it. I use a flat iron every month so I use science. The hot air on the flat iron and the pieces of metal on each side straighten your hair when interacted with.

Did you know that when you walk by a kid with glasses their glasses have science in it? Scientists invented glasses to help people see if they have troubles seeing. The glasses are like magnifying glass. They make everything bigger to the person. But, not all glasses are the same. People who can't see have different kind of problems so they need different kind of glasses. SOme people can't see far away but they can see things near them. This is called nearsighted and is the most common. Others can't see things near them and they can only see things far away. This is called farsighted.

In the air there is air particles. Within the air particles there is something called hydrogen. Hydrogen lets us breatbe in our environment. Kind of like fish breathing in water. Hydrogen is so small we can't see it, feel it, taste it, or even smell it. Nobody can see hydrogen but it is there helping us live.

Technology uses science. Scientific things had to be used in order to make technology. For instance, look at a computer, you see pictures and icons even a mouse move when you interact with it. That's science. In order to make an image and things move on a computer you needed Science. I use a computer everyday in life, so, I use science everyday. There is science everywhere you just have to figure out where.

Have you ever been on something with wheels. Wether it be a scooter, rollerblades, bikes, skateboards, etc. Remember hearing the noise it made when it rolled against gravel and concrete. Well, thats called rolling friction and it is scientific. Rolling friction is when something rolls across in one direction across something in another direction.

I am watching my favorite shows on TV and all ofa sudden thought of science. Because you know how plasma and neon light things up? Well, that's what it does for a TV. If you take off the TV screen you will see all these different things. I was at a friends house one day and her little brother threw a tantrum and broke the TV screen. We looked inside and saw a lightbulb and a weird mirror on the top. It was so weird and cool at the same time. Since plasma and neon make a lightbulb bright it also makes a TV bright.
