My Heat Shield Project

 

One thing I enjoyed from an outside class was my heat shield project in science class. This was one of my favorite projects because I got to expand my learning in heat and demonstrate how I can use objects to protect an egg from heat. This project started with my group designing a diagram of what objects we could use to protect the egg. Then we started testing different materials with a heat gun to see if we could actually use them. We came up with our final idea and brought it outside to do the final test against a blowtorch! If it cooks then we fail, but if it is raw we will win. After 2 minutes against the blowtorch it was…… RAW! My group was so happy we won and it was a great learning experience. 

My Ideal World

Sports Planet

Welcome to Sports Planet! I am your tour guide, Connor.  Let me show you what we have here.

As you are about to land on your ship from earth in the year 508,775,238 you will see a big green and dark purple planet. You won’t have to adjust a lot from earth because it is similar! This planet is located in the Triangulum Galaxy, and the population is only 1 billion. It’s a small planet. 

Some things you will interact with will be the rivers. All the rivers are a drinking source with purple Gatorade and Ice Pop Prime. The sky during the night has lots of stars covering the planet although this planet does not have a moon. During the day it NEVER rains so you will always be happy. The type of plants you will find on Sports planet will be lots of grass, greenery, and trees. You will also find lots of flowers, in fact there will be vending machines that dispense flowers to whatever kind you want. There is a gem mining activity for all ages. There are the same rocks as earth but one… this one is different, this one has every rock in existence combined in one! It’s really cool, it even has the colors too. But this rock is very rare to find, in fact there are only five on this planet! 

Now let’s head to the Football Jungle Zoo. Once we walk through these doors we will see the butterfly section. There is nothing new because they are all the same as earth. If you hold your hand out sometimes the butterflies will land on your hand! The rest is under construction because this is a new planet. The four seasons are just like Earth, Winter, Spring, Fall and Summer. During the Winter the average high temperature is 36 degrees Fahrenheit and the low average temperature is 23 degrees Fahrenheit. It occasionally snows during the winter. During the spring it rains a lot and the average high temperature is 58 degrees Fahrenheit which helps for the flowers that are growing in the spring. The low average temperature is 49 degrees Fahrenheit. During the summer it gets almost to 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day. In the fall the leaves start to turn orange. The temperature does not go over 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Down the road from the zoo is the capital city called Soccer Town, the population is just under 700 million people. There are lots of things you can do in soccer town. The residents of soccer town like to go to a restaurant called Dribble Dribble Shoot. There are lots of restaurants but this one is the best. Dribble Dribble Shoot serves hamburgers, hot dogs, and my favorite soccer ball cake. There are 70 soccer fields in soccer town for all ages. On Goal St. there is the capital of the planet. This planet has a representative democracy government system. The leader of the executive branch is world famous Pele. But the thing about this democracy is that there are only 2 branches: Executive and the House of Representatives. The House leader is famous soccer goalkeeper Peter Shmichal. If you do something unlawful you are punished with a peaceful death penalty, the laws are the same as earth so you don’t have to restudy about the laws. Thanks for coming along for the tour!
