Kenbrena 2.

* If you lived in part of Kenbrena where you did not have energy resources, what could you do to survive?

If I live in part of Kenbrena where I didnt have any energy resources, I could cut the woods down and carve it into something I need. And gather some foods and clothes. I would go look around if there's any people, go to another places try very hard to suit in the environment.

* "To have a strong country, it is best to have only rich people with financial control." Support or refute that statement.

I refute that statement. Because sometimes rich people don't know how to control theirself of using the money, so they might spend all their money on their craving. And also that sometimes rich people's ambition will just make things worse.

* "People of different levels of wealth may not love one another, but they might need each other." Support or refute that statement.

I support this statement. Rich people might think that poor people are dirty, stupid... and poor poeple might think that the rich people are conceited and they might be jealous about them... But they all need each other. Because if there's no poor people in this society all the products and things will be much more expansive. Becuase it would be cheapper to hire the poor people when they are making the product. So the products will be cheapper.

(It's just my opinion...)

What are some possible reasons for some groups in Kenbrena to be friendly to each other while other groups do not get along?
I think it's because of the classes. The lower class are jealous about the higher class. Then they started to say something bad about each other. Or maybe it's because of they don't like each other's living style, culture....

Is there a social group above the makes you think of yourself or your family?
I think my family are "Saknich" because we don't really people that we don't get along with. My family always told me that if you respect other people, they will respect you back.

Mission- Find "New Earth"

Mission- Find "New Earth"










A new telescope named Kepler telescope was blasted into the space. And it's mission is to spend three and a half years to find a planet that has similar characteristic like Earth's or a Earth-like planet. Scientists don't look forward to find any animals and humans on the Earth-like planet, but they said that there might be some living things on it. Living things to live on other planet is called Goldilocks effect. It is called Goldilocks effect because the planets is like Goldilocks in the story it has to keep a distance between other planets so that the Earth-like planet won't be too hot or cold.

The manager of Kepler project said "Trying to detect Jupiter-size planets crossing in front of their stars is like trying to measure the effect of a mosquito flying by a car's headlight.

"Finding Earth-sized planets is like trying to detect a very tiny flea in that same headlight."

Isolating the Variable

Isolating the Variable

This Monday and today's science class we had SMASH Day. This time we were been attacked by Chine with chocolate. And we were trying to design a boat that can carry students and teachers in HIS with three papers, three straws, and one meter of tape. Serena, Cherine and I were in one group. And we folded the paper into two garbage bins. And we got many tapes on the bottom of the garbage bin. We putted our design in the pond and putted the stoppers on our design to test it.

Things that keep the same:
- Every groups got the same materials.
- We all putted our design in the same fish pond.
- And we use the same kind of stoppers on the top of our designs to test it.

The things that were different:
- Our designs and how we putted the stoppers.
- Different people to put the stoppers.
- Even that we putted our designs in the same pond, but we still can't put them on the exact place that other people putted their design.
