Conclusion

Today in class we did a lab using cornstarch. The point of the lab was to show how the mantle works. The cornstarch made the water thick and gooey. It also had plasticity. It was both a solid and a liquid. It was a solid when you put pressure on it just how the core puts pressure on the mantle. Its a liquid when you let go because it makes it all watery. When you push on it with your finger going fast it does not do anything and when you push slowly it goes in right away. This was by far the best lab we ever did, also the coolest.

October sky

During the movie October sky It was a very encouraging movie. It was about a boy that grew up in a mining town and him and his three friends built a rocket and won a science fair. they got full scholarships. Homer had to go through a lot of ruff times such as his parents not agreeing with him and the cops. His friends on the other hand his friends were really caring and helped him with all of his bad times. But at the end his dad was caring for him cause he drove a rocket all the way to a different state. This was connected to science because homer wanted to go to space and fly/ build rocket ships. October sky was a very good movie and taught a lot of lessons. Such as not to give up and always follow your dreams.
