Scientists Find Virus Killing Millions of Sea Stars

On the Pacific coast, millions of starfish are dead because of a virus. The virus does not affect human, so don’t be afraid of a second Ebola. The virus is transmitted through sand and seawater. If a sea star gets the virus, it will turn into a gooey mess.

The Author is very positive about the starfish deaths in the millions. I think that its bad that all these starfish are dying and I hope they find a cure. “That sucks” my friend Toby said.

labyrinth

For science me and my class made a labyrinth game. We used our science and woodworking skills. We made the labyrinths for the first graders. I made a diagram and protype before making the real labyrinth game.

Hello, this my waterwheel project and there is four types of waterwheel: overshot, undershot, breastshot, and pitch back. Waterwheels during the industrial revolution were one of the ways people powered machines. In the video below you will learn how waterwheels work. My water wheel is more efficent with it’s big buckets. The first test was breast shot but it was bad so we changed to pitch back to improve the results. It improved greatly. [best: .072 Joules.]

my wind turbine

my wind turbine’s first blade. It’s record is 1.13 volts.

 

my tubine third and second blades. my second blades reached 3.10 volt with the load. I thought the blades should be cut but I was wrong. The blades reached 1.53 volts.
we tried to duplicate the second blades but we got 2.05 volts.
