On my 4H Coosa river science school field trip we did a lot of fun things.  One of those things was team initiatives with Mr. Paul, which is where we learn to work together and get closer friend wise.  Two of my favorite things were canoeing and rock-wall climbing, which were the physical parts of the trip.  One of my favorite educational parts was the looking for Micro-Benthic invertebrates.  We got to walk around in the shallow water to look for them.  We had a campfire with a demonstration of plant pollination and growth.  We also sang, “I’m a little teapot” to the beat of “We will rock you.”  Who knew you could have so much fun with nursery rhymes?  Well, I’ve got to go.  Blog you later, bye!

Today at project jubilee we talked more about bugs.  Next week we are going to create a power point presentation about them.  First Mrs. Heald made us a little booklet, and she told us to put fancy letters on each page in alphabetical order.  She also said design it the way you want it on the computer.  Then we learned about Japanese braiding and it was so cool.  You can make it into a key chain or a bookmark.  I made two of them in at least 30 min.  The two colors on my 1st one were purple and black.  My second one was green and multi colored.  That is what we did this week.

Today we turned in our Rock Collecting homework. Then our homework turned into a project since it’s Project Jubilee. first, we got to choose which rocks and catogrize is we want to put them in texture, size or color. Next, we each got a cardboard to glue the rocks on. Some kept falling off in the middle of class and we would hear kaboom and so many fell off it began to get funny. Last, we got to put them on the wall. It was so much fun I hope we get to do something like it again another time.

Today in Project Jubilee, we learned more about our fingerprints. First, we got to figure out a ”crime”. Then we got to put our fingerprints on an ink pad and  put it on a ballon. After that, we blew the ballon up. As we blew it up, the fingerprint got clearer and bigger. But the color got darker. After we finished that, we had a survey. Out of 12 people, 7 people had loops, 2 had whorls, and 3 had arches. I had an arch. Did you know that only 5 percent of the world has arches, 30 percent has whorls, and 65 percent has loops.
