Cat Girl and the Little Deer

In the deep deep forest, there lived a cat girl.  She lived alone in a small cave.  One day she decided to go out and find someone to live with.  

She went out and saw a wooden door.  

She never saw it before.

She opened the door.

And saw a little deer.  She picked up the deer and said, “Where is your family?”

The deer said, “I don’t have a family.”

The girl said, “Hmmmmm…ah!  I’m alone too.  You can stay with me.  I can adopt you.”

“Oh, thank you!” said the deer.  Then they went home, baked some cupcakes, and went to sleep.

the   raindeer is    called    /slashia 5
the girl is called lashia6

 The girl is a cat girl that is from my imaginary country.

Riley and Adam's . -..- -.-. .. - .. -. --. Morse Code Adventure #2

Today we made our own Morse Code machine.  The materials we used were:

• Press switch
• LED light
• Buzzer
• Most important thing - the battery
• A piece of cardboard
• Wires
• Electrical tape
• Our hands

First we talked about two different ways to make a circuit:

Series - In a series circuit the current has one path that goes through the light and the buzzer one after the other.

Parallel - In a parallel circuit, the current has separate paths, one with the light and one with the buzzer.

Then we took our materials and made a circuit.  First we tried just the light, and when we pressed the switch, the light was very bright:

Then made a circuit with just the buzzer, and the buzzer was very loud.

Then we made a circuit with the light and buzzer in series.  When we pressed the switch, the light was very dim and the buzzer had no sound:

Then we made a circuit with the light and buzzer in parallel.  When we pressed the switch, the light was very bright and the buzzer was very loud:

For our Morse Code machine, the parallel circuit worked much better.  We can use the machine to send Morse Code messages.

If you want, you can shine the light on your face when you're taking a picture.  It makes your face prettier.

And, um...

Adam says:  The light hurts my eyes and the buzzer hurts my ears :((

I Don't Know - A Poem

I don't know how to sleep.
I don't know how to eat.
Everything I don't know is something that we need.

I don't know how to draw.
I don't know how to run.
I don't know I don't know everything.

I don't know my friend.
I don't know my name.
I don't know I don't know everything I see.

I don't know how to walk.
And don't know how to talk.
If you were like this then it's a problem.

I don't know everything.
Oh please come teach me.
I really want to know it.

Teach me how to sleep.
Teach me how to eat.
Teach me how to draw and run.

Teach me how to say my name.
Teach me how to know my friend.
Teach me everything I see.

Teach me how to walk.
Teach me how to talk.
If you teach me then there's no problem.


Here's me reading my poem.  I don't know how to read!

I don't know what I should say next.  Oh, I know now.  I should say...  Bye-bye!

A Maldives Shell Adventure ;-)

We had a wonderful adventure in the Maldives.  We took a boat to our house and we sat on the bed to rest.  Dad said there was some soup for us to eat, so we ate some soup and went to sleep.

The second day was the first day that we played.  We went on a boat to go to the island and have breakfast.  When we went out of our house, I was very confused and scared because I thought I saw an octopus under our house.  So I ran to the boat and waited for it to arrive to the island.  We got off the boat and went to the restaurant.  It was kind of small and didn't have too many foods, but it was still good.  I ate crepes and sushi and porridge.  I ate and ate and when my crepe came, I saw there was no banana, but I ate it anyway.

After that, I went to the pool then went to play in the sand.  We went to the ocean and picked a lot of sea shells.  These sea shells are pretty and they are all real!

I put all the sea shells in a container.

This is one of the sea shells.

This sea shell is special.  Look at the pattern on it!

Do you know..the Maldives ocean makes the sea shells very white.

Riley and Adam's ..-. ..- -. Morse Code Adventure #1

Yesterday, we tried to make a machine that could send messages using radio.  But we couldn't get it to work.

So instead, we made a machine with a button.  The button is a press switch.  You press the button and it makes a beeping sound and turns on a light.

We can use the machine to send Morse code messages.  More codes uses long and short sounds to make letters.  This is the Morse code alphabet:

If we want to figure out what a Morse code message means, we can use the tree below to find out.  If you hear a short sound ("dit"), you go to the left.  If you hear a long sound ("dah") you go to the right.  When you go to the left, then hear a long sound, follow the long line down to the right.  So if you hear "dit dah dit," you follow the tree and see that makes the letter R.

We wrote some messages using Morse code.  See if you can figure out what these codes mean.  There is a space between each letter and a slash between each word.  Hint:  Use the tree above.

1. .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-. ..- - . / .--. . - ...
2. -... . ... - / -.. .- -.-- / . ...- . .-.
3. .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -. .- .-. -. .. .-

You can try writing a Morse code message to me!

My Lovely Pet Shop

I made these using special paper.  You get a special pen then you scratch the paper and there are patterns and colors underneath.

I made a pet shop advertisement using these papers:

My first animal is the Rabsaur.  A Rabsaur is half rabbit and half dinosaur.  It eats carrots, meat and sugar.  It also can swim and talk and dance.  And you can teach every animal some things so they can be more powerful.

My second animal is Dolphinbutter.  A Dolphinbutter is a dolphin that can fly, that is half dolphin, half butterfly.  Its food is honey mixed with fish soup.  It can fly, swim, and talk.

The last animal is sort of not an animal.  It's called a Vampifairy.  It is half vampire, half fairy.  It's friendly to good people and bad to bad people.  Vampifairy food is leaves or flowers.  It's new!  It's the best pet in the store.  It can fly and drink blood, and it also can do magic!

The next animal that is not yet born is called Stegorex.  It is half stegosaurus and half T-rex.  I'll tell you about it when it comes.

Come to my pet store to see if you want a magical pet.

Riley and Adam's Experiment Adventure #1

Today we made a car.  We used popsicle sticks to the make the bottom of the car.  Then we made a circuit with a battery, switch, and a motor that spins a fan.

Then we decided to do an experiment with the car.  Our question was how does the weight of the car affect its speed.  Our hypothesis was that lighter cars will be faster than heavier cars.

Our procedure was:

1. Make a race course of about 5 meters.
2. Weigh the car.
3. Time how long the car takes to finish.
4. Add weight to the car and repeat 2 and 3.

We timed the car with four different weights.  Our data was:

Then we made a graph that showed mass vs. time.  The graph shows that heavier cars have longer times.

Our conclusion was that when mass got bigger, time got longer.  So lighter cars are faster than heavier cars.  That means our hypothesis was right!  yayyyyyy!!!!! ;]

I like experiments because we can learn new things for ourselves.
