Yves Rossy A.K.A. Jetman, latest stunt. http://www.dogonews.com/

The current event that i read about is about a swiss adventurer who does amazing stunts with a winged jet pack.

His latest stunt was pulled on november 5th, his location where he did it was in the swiss skeis. Yves is a former pilot. One of his amazing stunts that he is best known for is in 2008 he flew across the english channel. Yves latest stunt was doing two airial loops while jumping at the height of 2,400 meters. The part that amazed me and the rest of the people in the world is that he did this stunt without testing his new equipment first. Instead he just tested it while he did his stunt. To me i would think that would be my first and last test. Now that Yves has upgraded to carbon fiber 'wings' that are attached to small kerosene burning engines the rest is the world belives that he will do great stunt, but people are just dieing to know exactly what.

Glogster

I learned a lot about glaciers.They are very interesting landforms. I really liked reasearching and finding out about glaciers. The hardest thing was making the glog because i kept on forgeting to save it. I really liked this work because i found it really intresting and i like finding all about something i dont know about.

Action Gaming And Quick Thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The news that i read is about action gaming and how it can effect your brain.

Action games require quick thinking on how to kill the monsters and to get away. Bavelier and her team is studying this. They have found that playing videos builds up your senses and builds up your quick desicions not just for gaming but also for real life. To investigate relations between video games and desicion making they ran a few tests. Bavelier got some men in their 20 that play videos games 5 times a week and found other men that are i their 20's to but who dont play video games the tests were based on sound and speed the gamers were faster than the non gamers.

Bavelier also did tests on men and women  of an average age of 26 who said that they haddn't played video games in at least a year. This experiment would give a bit of info on whether games just require fast desision making or people just were fast desion makers. One group of men and women where told to play a action game for two hour while the others were told to play video games not action games.


In the first test the men and women who played action games where faster on the sounds and speed tests.

Voyage Of Plastic

http://www.eurekalert.org/features/kids/2010-08/aaft-tlv081310.php

This article talks about what plastic is and what its affects. In this article they say that  many people are throwing plastic which causes many problems such as fish eating it and dying fish getting tangled in big plastic bags. Over the past 22 years ships have towed nets through the atlantic. These nets catch du-brie at the water surface. Researchers would go through the de-brie, and find plastic particles. One of the many researches are called Kara Lavender Law of the Sea Education Association and her colleagues have now analyzed those 22 years of research, they found that the amount of plastic being taken is staying stable. They found it very unusual because people have been creating than throwing away in even larger amounts for the last to decades .


 Dr. Law and her colleagues have good research that may explain why plastic isn't at the surface of the Atlantic ocean. Their research have showed that the plastic breaks into small pieces that the nets cant catch. It might sink of being eaten by fish and other marine animals.

State of Matter

                       States Of Matter
                       
     Mass                      Shape                   Volume                     Heating                            Compressibility             examples


Gas: A definite mass/  An indefinite shape/   Indefinite volume /  On heating it expands real large/   Easily  compressible ,  / 02, Co2,Oxygen   

Liquid: Definite mass/    Indefinite shape/   Definite volume/   On heating expands slightly/      Low compressibility/ Water, Milk, Soda    


Solid: Definite mass/ Definite shape/ Definite volume/ On heating expands real low/ No compressibility/    Rocks, Metal,Wood.

     The pattern that i recognized is that gas liquid and solid all have definite mass. 

I also notice that the more the atoms are aloud to move the easier it is to compress.

Another thing i notice is that the Mass, Shape and Volume is definite for a solid. 

 

MATTER

Matter is everything that takes up space and has weight. Such as pencils they take up space and they have weight.

what i want to know more about.

What i want to know more about is lab. Like what causes explosions and chemical reachtions. Another thing i want to know about is all the scientific names like h20.
