WAVES


In my science class, we learned about waves. For example, we used a slinky to show a wave movement and a spring to sort of see the measurement of the wave. Also, it was a lot of fun and very interesting. Then, we got to go out into the hallway, so we could experiment with the slinky better. While we were out there we almost hit the ceiling. This lab was the most fun of all the other ones. Therefore, I hope we have more labs like this one in the future.

TECHNOLOGY

Everyone uses technology these days. They even have technology that does basiclly everything you want. For example, the iphone has wi-fi internet, media player, and you can fit it in your pocket. Also, it has 3G memory, so that means you can download 3,000 songs or hold a lot of items on it. So in other words, the iphone does mostly what you want and I know you will like it. Therefore, if you want sometihng that does what you want and fits in your pocket, you should get a IPHONE.
