On-time weekly blog!

Hey guys, it's Mark again and we've got an on time blog! So kind of cool there. Anyway, we had some cool stuff this week, like yesterday we went to the living computer museum! It was really cool, there was a bunch of old computers and the history of them. It's actually one of the 5 computer history museums in THE WHOLE WORLD! AND it is the ONLY museum ALSO in the whole world that let's you play with the first mac computer! Or it might have been an apple computer, I don't really know. So it was pretty cool, there was also a controllable robot that you could drive around the first floor and see people with a camera and let them see you through a screen. You could also talk through them but you couldn't hear them. They could hear you though. so on the first floor there were just two robots with Roomba-like bases and two poles up to a screen showing the drivers face going all around the first floor. So that was pretty cool. We also are excited for next weeks field trip, which if possible I will blog LIVE from my phone while on the boat! Because the entire day will be on a boat on the water learning about water life and seeing deep ocean microbes. We also get to tell a diver some stuff to do, so yeah. That'll be fun. Look forward to that, but again, I might not be able to. If not I'll do it on Monday when I get back to school. The rest of the week was basically just working on our essay and science thesis. Also, the end of the school year is coming! I will try to do something special for my final blog. Maybe puzzles or riddles. So I guess we've come to the end of this weeks blog! Check back in next week! Bye!                                                                        -Mark

Blog update

Hello everybody, it's Mark again and we're back with another blog update! Now I know I missed last week BUT it was not me being lazy, it was that the substitute we had did not know how to get on to the blog website. So, like 2 weeks ago, I'll do a two-week update. So, yesterday was really cool, we got to make "seed bombs", which is air dry clay mixed with dirt and seeds. it gets really messy, because eventually you have to put mud in, and it just turns to slop. but it was really fun! Some people made cool shapes, like actual bombs, caterpillars, and stick grenades. They'll probably be home today, so look out! The bad part is that they don't explode for like 6 hours. And you have to put them in dirt, so basically you just put it in you're backyard and wait. Besides that we started on our final science project today, we're making our procedure and materials list. Today was also cool because there were two birthday treats! Happy birthday to Michelle and Rocco! They both brought in donuts, and want to know why? It's not a coincidence actually! It's international donut day! So donuts for all! Another thing that happened was that on Wednesday we practiced making procedures in the most funny way possible; HOW TO MAKE PB&J! We basically made a procedure of how to make a PB&J and Mr. hill did it. Some times people didn't specify things and so there was like mashed sandwiches and lopsided ones and it was just HILARIOUS! We all are also looking forward to the field trip to the living computer museum, learning about computer history and coding, one I think will be awesome, but not as awesome as the upcoming PMR field trip! We go out on a boat and learn about marine life and look at bacteria from deep oceans and tell a diver where to go underwater. Really looking forward to that! Well, I'm basically out of things to say. So long, and thanks for reading!                                                                            -Mark
