February 14, 2014 - Turtle, Turtle

Happy Valentine's Day! I got a cactus for my desk and 2 small boxes of candy. I'm still a boy even though I got candy.

I did nothing much today.

We did an experiment. We used aspirin and placed in water in a glass jar. We covered it and put it in a dark place. We are going to observe it everyday and write down our observations. It's supposed to turn into crystals. We'll let you know our observations.

Today we joined the Great Backyard Bird Count. We didn't put in our observations yet because we didn't get many birds. Mom said they'll come at dusk.

Look at this link. It's a map of how many people are doing the bird count. So far there are there are 12, 145 people from across the world. The most people are in the U.S.A. I'm hoping to see a hawk.

We were going to make a thermometer but Mom forgot to buy alcohol. We'll need to do it next week.

OH! I'm going to science camp next week! It's at the Buffalo Museum of Science. It's about the art of chemistry. I do not know what I'm going to do.

We watched a movie about loggerhead turtles. We watched it because I want to save the baby turtles to raise their population. I want to invent an invisible electric fence that will only shock the predator's of baby turtles but not the babies. I have to do a LOT of research. I feel so strongly about this because only 1 in a 1000 survive the first few minutes of their lives.

That's pretty much all I have on my mind right now.

Stay tuned 'til Monday!
