hide and seek

When I lived in Utah, almost every Friday me and my moms side of the family would go on a family bike ride. Well one of those Fridays we went to Ryan's Place park and we played hide and seek. I know what you are thinking, that's a baby game, but, we were bored but we didn't want to go and we didn't know what else to do. I found everyone except my grandpa, so everyone split up but WE COULD NOT FIND HIM. But we looked everywhere again and you will not guess where he was. He was under the roof of the fake lemonade stand with his arms and legs spread out and pushed against the sides! I even walked in there but I didn't think about him being right above me! And we were looking around for at least half an hour to an hour!

science experiment






Last night I worked on my science experiment. My hypothesis was that different nuts would have different amounts of energy. The goal was to see which one would boil water fastest and that one would have the most energy. But none of them really boiled the water. We tried a peanut, cashew, almond, cinnamon coated almond, walnut, and a big walnut. There was a big can and a small can. The big one had the top and bottom taken off with a can opener and little holes around the bottom. The little can had 4 screws sticking out of the sides to hold in onto the big can. It had just the top taken off so it could hold the water. The nuts were held under the little can so that it was sort of inside of the big can on the table top. The nuts were held up with a needle sticking into a cork. We lit each nut on fire and put in under the can. Then we waited. We timed how long each nut burned. Some of the nuts were hard to light and keep burning. The big walnut caught the cork on fire so we tried to blow it out but we couldn't bow it out, so we had to put it in the sink and keep dumping water on it! Finally we got it out. That was the end of the experiment pretty much. I think that the walnut (even the smaller one) had more energy. They stayed burning easier and longer and smoked more than the others.

Mom,
School has been great! Today I stayed home because I didn't feel good. I started my science project today, so far we've just got to the point that we can start the fun part.I don't have much to say.

Love Eliza
