Title: Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Author: Judy Blume

In the begging of the book there is a kid named peter that went to a kids name jimmy fargo birthday party. Peter guessed that there were 300 jelly beans in a container. He guessed wrong there were actually 480 jelly beans. So he won a pet turtle and he named it Dribble. I don’t want to spoil the book but it an easy read and a really good book.

Title:  Forces and Motion In Sports

Author:  Glen Phelan

 

I read Forces and motion in sports it is about how we use motion in sports. When we use force in like soccer we normally are punting a ball or you are running.  You can also use motion while riding a skateboard. There are many different forces and motions in sports and your everyday moves.

 

I think this would be a good book to read for kids that like to learn about forces and motions.

Hydro Energy

Hydro Energy

In my opinion hydro is the best energy source for my roller coaster because it is renewable and affordable.

Costs

Let me explain the many different cost that you have to pay for a dam. Like concrete to build the dam, turbines to generate power, and then it will only coast 9 ₵ an hour ounce the dam is built. It then produces energy but it is also recreational to people. Families can then go boating, fishing, hiking, and biking.

Environmental Impacts

Hydro energy hurts the environment very little. It floods and it destroys habitats. But when you build a dam you destroy a habitat and then you end up making a new one. By building a dam it prevents migratory fish like salmon to swim up river. But in return it produces a lot of electricity. To help fish migrate we can build fish ladders next to the dam so they can get up river. Fish ladders make it so fish can get up past the dam safely so they can migrate. I realize you might like fossil fuels but fossil fuels are not  green unlike a dam. So I know that hydro energy is green and safe

Production and Distribution

First the water flows through the turbines then it goes through the generator and it shoots back out the other side and that pattern happens constant over and over.

Summary

In summary I know that hydro energy is the best because it’s green and safe to the environment.

Fun Facts

  • In 2008 hydro power was used most in the U.S. 
  • Hydro electricity is one of the only green power source
  • The biggest dam in the United States is The Hoover Dam
  • Hydro energy is the only source of power that is recreational

 

 

 

 

 

My Favorite Candy

My favorite candy is…

My favorite candy is TWIX. Yea it is TWIX I just love TWIX.

I will eat if every meal of the day if I could but I can’t. I often go to the store well not that often but still when I go to the store I spend some of my money on a bag of TWIX. If I could own the factory that makes Twix I would pay my employee 2 times more than any other factory would. I LIKE TWIX THAT MUCH.

Another Rainy Day

It was a rainy day at daly elementary. It has been raining really hard for atleast 5 hr. It is really annoying when it rains because we dont have outside recess and if it is inside recess there isnt much to do. If you are lucky you will get to use the compputer but there is only a 50% chance u will get it.  🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

So recess insides isnt that fun

What Up

This year has been really fun this year we are making cameras we have already made roller coasters. I really hope we do some really big writing projects because I like writing.

 

Ian’s 2nd Book Review

I read Forces and Motions on Earth

Author: Glen Phelan

These are three things that I learned I learned when the space shuttle lands back on earth it glows because of when it goes through our atmosphere, Friction is created when two objects rub and it create friction, Friction slow you down because of all the air particles. I think this is a good book because the book is about forces and motions on earth. One of the forces it talk about is friction and it is just a really good informational book.
