INSULATOR AND CONDUCTORS

INSULATOR…….

Insulators is a element that CAN’T flow energy through itself. And these are insulators: Air, Vinegar, Bottle water, Rubber, plastic, cloth, CD, paper, electric tape, wood, cork.

CONDUCTORS…..

A Conductor is a material that CAN flow through itself. And these are conductors: Steal, Salt water, Graphite, Titanium, Brass, copper, Aluminum, Ruler, cobalt bolt, Gold.

My circuit tester took me two days to build my wires are five inches long and it has alligator clips and when it has power (like a battery) the light bulb lights up.This is my circuit tester. NICKI labeled it so you can see where everything is.I noticed that most conductors are metal. But one conductors are NOT a solid, Salt Water. I think the salt water worked because the minerals in side it. And when I put my circuit tester in the salt water the light bulb was barely working.

Ellis Island and Angel Island

    Ever since the United States became a country, immigrants came here for a better life. Many immigrants had to pass through two different islands.  Ellis Island off of New York City, New York, and Angel Island off the coast of San Francisco, California.  Two different islands that did the same job.

    Long ago, Angel Island was used as a hunting and fishing place for indians.  In 1910, it became an immigration station for mostly Chinese immigrants.   Many immigrants spent years on the island waiting to enter the US.  They were questioned and most of them couldn’t answer the tough questions, so they got deported.  Those immigrants that made it through Angel Island, usually settled in San Francisco.  It eventually closed down in 1940 due to a fire.  Over one million immigrants passed though Angel Island.

     Ellis Island was also used by indians for food, and was once was called Oyster Island.  Just like Angel Island, Ellis Island, was made into an immigration inspection station in 1892.  Mostly immigrants from Europe came through Ellis Island.  Immigrants had to pass many exams such as eye exams, intelligence tests, and health screenings.  Not every immigrant made it to the US, just like Angle Island.  Immigrants that passed through would move on to New York City, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and other big cities on the East Coast.  Ellis Island eventually closed in 1954.  Over twelve million immigrants passed through Ellis Island.

     Angel Island is sometimes called, “The Ellis Island of the West Coast”.  A lot of American families can trace their family history  through Angel Island or Ellis Island.  Eventually not all immigrants traveled here by boat, so these island closed down.  Even though Ellis Island and Angel Island did the same job, immigrants that passed through them would say their experiences were very different.

WATER WHEEL SPRITE

Photo on 3-5-13 at 10.46 AM This is the Side View to show the width.Photo on 3-5-13 at 10.46 AM #2 Front  ViewPhoto on 3-5-13 at 10.47 AM #2Side Front View

Question#1(What style is it)

We first had the stye as pitch back but we changed it to breast-shot.

Question#2 (Why does your water wheel work)

The weight of the water pulls the water wheel down.

Question#3 (How is the water wheel able to lift its load)

Because our paddle was able to use the weight of the water to turn,and it was able to lift an extra load.

Question#4 (How does it turn)

Our paddle caches the water and pulls the paddle down.

In Industrial revolution water wheels were used to grind corn and other tasks. They were invented in ancient time. Finally the farmers had to do the other tasks and they were grinding the corn by hand and do other hard tasks when there was a water droit.

And these are our score(we got 3rd place) 🙂Photo on 3-18-13 at 10.27 AMThis is my graph. Our first try was the pink line, we failed. Our second try was the brown line, ten times better. Finally our third try is the red line it was our best and last run.

BYE 🙂
