Math is...
Math is used in everyday life.We use it in Sports,games,shopping,or even Math Class! Math is used in almost every activity because math is everything. Math is used mostly in Science because of all the calculations and notes you have to take. I use math when i play online games, or MMORPS(multi-media online role playing games) on the computer.Math helps everyone because it lets people understand other subjects such as science.

Popping Fun Lab
In Science Class a few weeks ago, we did a lab, called Popping Fun. This lab taught the kids how to mix compounds, to get a reaction. We had to mix baking soda with vinegar in a test tube,and try to get enough pressure in a test tube so we could shoot a cork across the room,to hit the window. The particular group I was in, tried to do this test about 4-5 times, before we figured out the combination. If i recall correctly, it was 25 vinegar 5 baking soda, but i am not sure on that.If we hit the window 3 times in a row,everyone in the group would get extra credit, and we all got extra credit.

Drilling for Oil
During Science class, we did an experiment where we had to drill for oil. First, we had to trace 3 different maps, and pick 4-5 different areas to drill around. Then we were given a sheet of paper, where we had to plot the spots where to dig in a box, and record our findings. Also we were given an amount of money we could spend. We were given a total of 2.5 million dollars to spend. We were given 5 trials to find 3 reservoirs of oil. On our first trail, we found oil. On our second, we stuck oil again. On our third trial, we didn't strike oil. On the fourth trial we got oil, and that was the final oil reservoir we had to find. After all the math we did, we came out to make around $51m.

Cellular Telephones and Their Impact Today!
Cellular Devices have become way more popular since they have been invented. Thirty Years go, Cell Phones weren't even invented. Cell Phones have let people within the same country communicate over far distances. Cell Phones in the past century, have become so popular, it is hard to find a child/adult without one. In the end, i believe that cell phones has had a big impact on our daily lives.

In Class Post-
During class, we did a lab where we had to burn 2 cubes of sugar in a test tube. During this lab, we had to break up the sugar cube and then place it into a test tube, and then place it over a Bunsen burner,which melted the sugar into a bubbling liquid. After a short wait,the sugar turned solid,and then started to crack.In the end, this experiment was a fun thing to do during class.

Death Star is Back...
Death Star number 3 is not back and already in use. This is a nightmare right out of Star Wars itself. NASA scientists are calling this galaxy “Death Star Galaxy.” The “galaxy” itself is actually a black hole, shooting cosmic radiation out of its core. Scientists say that we are a safe 1.4 billion light-years away from the devious galaxy.
Researchers say that the galaxy has possibly destroyed millions of planets. All in all, the new destroyer galaxy is a wild find, and an amazing one at that and will certainly change our point of view on the universe.
