Question: Please help! I need as many people I can get to help.? ?

We had a little experiment in school on Friday for science. We were to get at least 10 people to write a story using certain words. Tomorrow, we will turn in those ‘collected’ stories. Our teacher will rate these stories to test if a kid’s age affects their writing level. So when you finish writing the story, I would like it if you could put your age at the bottom. Thanks!

Words that must be used (choose any 30):
flame
specimen
observatory
boutique
cactus
curriculum
oases
debris
innocent
dramatic
reservoir
boulevard
portrait
vague
antique
massage
bouquet
amateur
petite
elementary
cemetery
forgery
legendary
primary
bravery
theory
literary
mystery
description
spectacle
eruption
impede
suffice
rescue
fume
fireproof
nuclei
coup
naive
brilliant
aspect
rupture
metric
grave
aspect
ignite
revise
Thanks! As long as you are willing to help, I won’t judge.

Answer: The cemetery was quite and seemed like a place full of mystery and legendary pasts. A portrait of a young girl on a nearby grave caught my attention and I suddenly stopped with the specimen of roses in my hand and read the small description. It was vague and I literally could not picture who the young girl was. All I read was Cecilia Adams August 1st 1965- September 12th 1980. A single tear fell down my face and at that very moment I felt petite; naïve and weak in a way. I knew nothing but a name and a birth date and yet I felt sad for her. The only theory I had of this young girl was that she was in a far off oases, almost like a reservoir, where the walls were fireproof, a place where she would need no rescue, and nothing could harm her anymore. I felt an eruption inside of me all of the sudden like something had begun to ignite. The smile faded from my face and tears erupted. In a sense I felt I was being too dramatic at the moment and I continued to stare down at the innocent grave. I reached down and placed the bouquet of roses I had brought for my grandmother onto Cecilia’s grave. I smiled at the sight of an antique ballerina figurine placed next to the debris of old flowers. I felt suffice at that moment and a bit of bravery as well. I never knew I was capable of such feelings towards a stranger. I took my primary gaze from the grave and to the boulevard sigh up ahead. I knew at that moment that I could coup through my own loss, for I believed that my own grandmother was in her own elementary world where she felt free and happy once again. As I left the graveyard, Cecilia Adams grave stood out like a spectacle covered in the fume of the flowers I had just placed. The flame of sadness that I had felt earlier was gone and replaced with the feeling of love towards those who we have lost. I felt as though my curriculum of life had changed at that point and I in fact learned that life is indeed precious, but the love you feel towards others is what makes it so precious.

Ok I’m 19… And this story makes like NO sense, but I tried.. And I think I did 31 of the words.

This would be for a7th grade life science class. Don’t mind spending a little money if it’s good with lot’s of experiments.

Answer: i know this is for 6th grade but it is advanced and it is really really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Middle School Science Fair Projects Made Fun

Question: What would be a cool experiment?

In my science class we’re doing a “matter magic show” so i need to think of a cool experiment to present to kids. Ive heard of this experiment where you light alcohol and sugar but im not sure if you know it please say so.

Answer: A nice little experiment I like to do with my kids is to make slime. All you need is water, white school glue, food coloring water, and Borax (found at any Wal-Mart). What you are basically doing is creating polymers. This experiment takes about 5-10 minutes, and creates a nice batch of slime that the kids can with and take home. I even had a good time playing with it. Check the website for exact specs.
