Orion Launch

Journal of Awesome

 

When I saw this launch I was amazed at this achievement in deep space! With this rocket they can land on Mars, asteroids and maybe even further. The rocket launched at 7:00 on Friday December 5 2014 orbited twice around earth then splashed down into the ocean at around 5 hrs later; 12:00. I thought that this is a great achievement. This might unlock a new era of space travel. I thought that this is awesome and wanted to share it with you.

Energy drinks

When I researched this I was surprised at how the energy drinks are actually dangerous to kids health and the energy drink companies were confusing everyone by telling them that they are good for you. Energy drinks are loaded with caffeine. for example in 250 mL of Monster Energy drink is the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee. I think that the energy drink companies should have to tell the truth on things like that. I am writing to bring it to your attention so spread the word; don’t drink energy drinks, just drink water. That would be awesome.

My favorite holiday!

christmas

My favorite holiday is Christmas because I get tons of awesome gifts and I can’t wait to see what I will get this year! Also I like seeing the joyful expression on someone elses face when they receive a present from me. There are many other things that I like about this holiday such as, the smell of the christmas tree, all the many colourful lights, decorations, special holiday foods, songs and carols, families getting together to celebrate,  just to list a few. indeed all celebrations are nice but for the reasons that I have stated above I really think that Christmas is the most awesome one.

Tears are not enough

 

 

When I first saw this video, I thought that these people were doing a great thing, donating all the money that they got from the song to Africa In support of the people who were starving to death, and they wanted to step up and also encourage more people to do what they did. I think the song is very thoughtful and considerate of others in need and it sets a good example. After I saw this I really thought that it was really awesome and wanted to share it with you.

 In this video, when I saw Robert Full show us a cockroach that can do all those things, ie. rapid inversion, run upside down, hit a wall then climb it, and all of these things in seconds I was amazed. Then he showed us robots inspired by those cockroaches and the robots could do most of those things that the cockroaches could do. I really thought that this was awesome and wanted to share it with you.

When I watched this video I was really touched by the way she didn’t care about winning as much as she cared about someone she barely knew. then when she helped her up and pushed her across the finish line before herself I was really amazed and inspired at that. in the future I will help others in need.

Kevin Delaney

When i saw this video I was really amazed at the experiments that Kevin Delaney did. At the beginning I thought that the first experiment was the best one but in fact they got better and better. The simplicity of the last one was amazing! You could probably try it at home. I am glad I watched this video because it made me realize how awesome science is.

Kayla Montgomory

When I saw this I was really amazed at how Kayla Montgomory pushed herself to the limit even with MS (Multiple sclerosis) a disease where your body attacks itself and in her case it made her unable to feel her legs when body temperature increased (like when she was running). I thought that she must have really liked running to sustain that kind of pain and suffering. I really think that this is awesome!

Tumbling wing!

journal of awesome

 

Today I will talk about the Tumbling Wing! This is paper airplane that flies endlessly (until you stop) when you push air with cardboard underneath its folds. I really thought that this guy must have studied for a really long time in aerodynamics to invent this. When I saw the video (below) in my class I thought that it was really awesome and thought I would show it to you.

 

Enjoy and feel free to comment.

Pendulum Wave

Pendulum

This mesmerizing creation made of strings and balls really caught me and I decided to share it with you! At the beginning, it took the form of a wave which morphed later into cool new shapes like the dna helix and “the triple dna helix”. I thought that it would have taken the person a long time to build it. Its such a smart creation.
