Everyday bacteria

Yesterday, I visited the Maryland Science Center. There I conducted 2 experiments. In the first experiment I extracted DNA from wheat germ. It was really cool.

The second experiment was really gross. It showed that antibacterial hand soap, antibacterial gel, and household cleaner do not completely destroy bacteria. Do you know which of these did the best? It was the hand gel. The household cleaner killed some. The hand soap did nothing. It was really disgusting.

Bacteria has been around for way longer, millions of years, before us. Bacteria adapt to the environment. A 17 year old girl did this experiment for a science fair and learned that bacteria resistant to most antibacterial stuff and then resistant to antibiotics. Scientists are continuing her studies.

Washing your hands with soap and water many times a day is still the best way to get rid of germs and bacteria.

A short fish story

This is only one of the stories that I did. I am still working on another one. Enjoy this one.

Fishing Dare

Once upon a time, there were two fish named Jellyfish and Talkingfish. One day they went over to the drop off. A big fish named Great White Shark(A.K.A JAWS) came up to them and quadruple dared them to go out and stay at the drop off. So they did it. When they got there Honest Abe popped up in fish form. He said “Don’t do a dare; it’s dumb.” “Can we still hang out,” said Jellyfish? “No, of course not,” said Honest Abe (Poof). “Well, I learned something,” said Talkingfish. “What is that?” said Jellyfish. “Honest Abe looks so freaky in fish form.”

Some answers

I'm getting a lot of questions about Weird Maryland. And I will give you the answer right now. It is a great book and a good gift. There are places in the book that youth group would like to go to, Dina.

Aunt Julie, my trick for vocabulary and spelling words - for every single letter I bounce a ball once.

Uncle Stephen, it's ok if you talk Aussie, I understand you if you write those little what it means things.

In school today I learned math and lifting weights and doing this blog. I've written a great story with the help of a great game called Create-A-Story. When I finish the story I will put it on my blog. Beware it is long.

Tell other people about my blog and how to find it and stuff. I am happy that people can see it and can give me comments.

Update on a rainy day

I’ve been doing my vocabulary words and soon I will do a vocab test. I came up with a way to learn the spelling to memorize the words. It is really fun. I’ve also been reading a book called “Weird Maryland,” by Matt Lake. It is a very good book. It is a fun way to do history. I read about the so-called “giants” in Maryland. If you look at the book you can actually see what these giants are and look like. I am having a great time at school.
