I was 9 years old, and my elder sister and I flew out to the west coast into a busy suburban city near the Golden Gate Bridge to see our relatives on our mother’s side. As you may know of, California is known

Despite the enormous number of children homelessness affects, the public eye remains ignorant on the topic.

After reading The Outsiders, The All American Slurp, and Cardboard, I recognized that being an individual is more important than following the crowd. These three stories support this idea through the characters and events. My position is right because the events, characters, and themes from these three books, support this idea. In the book, “All American Slurp”k by Lensey Namioka, the main character felt the need to fit in with the rest of the Americans. But she finally realized that she did

So for the next couple of weeks I was working on glueing the pieces of cardboard together. Glueing the cardboard pieces together was a little struggle because the glue gun had a short cord and the maze was big.

members were instructed to cut out cardboard rectangles so that four could be glued together as columns. After this, we had to cut the cardboard in large rectangle shapes to create the walls and roof of each store. After the cardboard was cut we used textured spray paint to make the the columns and walls look like stone. Before we could glue the stores together we need to make the base or ground of the markets.

Rube Goldberg machine in our classroom! Our group and I have been researching about some possible ideas or objects we could use to build our Rube Goldberg machines. We figured out that we would use water bottles, dominoes, parts of a medium sized cardboard box, a marble moving set, marbles, confetti (to put inside the balloon to see when it pops), and tacks. We would put confetti inside the balloon for when the balloon pops, it will almost be like a big celebration! To pop the balloon we would use

2013) By following similar steps performed by Michael Faraday their hypothesis asked “what will happen when you pass a strong magnet through a loop of copper wire.” (Bjornsson, 2013) With a similar setup as Faraday they passed a magnet through a cardboard tube that had wire wrapped around it. As more loops were added more current was shown on a galvanometer. They tested Faraday’s process and proved it to be correct.

Have you ever had one of those wind up plastic toys that claps and walks in circles? Cool, right? But have you just wanted to pull a string, like starter cords for boats and lawn mowers, instead of winding the monkey up for 30 seconds? When we first learned about our da Vinci project, I was confused, because I knew I wanted to build a car, but I did not know how it would work. Simple Machines gave me an idea of how my car could work, because I knew that using such contraptions could change the motion

The materials I used for this experiment were foam, duct tape, tin foil, yarn, cardboard, and a tin can. My idea came from the idea of a cooler because of the inside foam insulation. I got the idea of the duct tape when I thought about air ducts and how they wrap them in duct tape to repair them, and how you can't feel the heat from the ducts. I got the Idea for the tin foil, because tin foil is used for baking. I got the idea for the yarn because I thought it would be good insulation for a top because

From Life” by Anton Chekhov both deal with betrayal. Imagine being bullied, betrayed or laughed at by your own guardians or even your mother 's lover. Teddy is a boy stuck inside his aunt and uncle’s house playing in the attic and constructing a cardboard palace.

own violin. I was pleasantly surprised when my dad handed me my very own violin! It was brown, and made of cardboard. And I loved it! Overwhelmed with joy I took it everywhere. Well, at least for the first few days. Slowly I started noticing differences. My brother’s violin made beautiful sounds that echoed around the room. The smooth wood sparkled under the light. Mine was just cardboard. It was fake. And then I realized I had been cheated! This was NOT a violin! How dare he. How dare my father

were going to get out of the prison. For a long time the criminals chipped away at a wall with spoons stolen from the cafeteria, nail clippers and eventually a power drill made from a vacuum cleaner motor, and then they crafted fake heads out of cardboard, cement chips, toilet paper and hair stolen from the prison’s barber shop.
