Hey everybody,

Today was cool (actually it was yesterday, I am a bit behind). Science was extremely hardcore today. We were doing this lab about how wells and underground rivers and stuff work. We had to get the most water in our wells without flooding the town and stuff. If I figure out how to put in the pictures, I will put one in. So, half of our group decided to build a dam/reservior thingy, and the other half decided to just go for it. So, half built while the other half poured a beaker of water into the box. Surprisingly enough the dam worked, (it was supposed to be underground so that the water could travel along it to the wells like pipes, but what the hey?) Anyway, we were quite pleased with our above ground well, and decided to test its strength. We dumped a whole beaker into the box at once. This broke the dam, and flooded the town (but hey, at least there was water in the wells). Anyway, now we had a flooded box, and nasty gray clay floating all over the place, it was kinda gross. There is another lab later in the book where you learn about polution by putting red food coloring in the water and seeing how it spreads and stuff. Well, Sam didn't know that this was a different lab, so he went to go get the food coloring. He thought the cap was one of those drippy dropper ones and only a few drops would come out. Well, he was wrong and ended up dumping like half the container of food coloring into the lake. So now we have a flooded town, empty wells, and a bloody lake. The water was already to wet to absorb any of the stuff in the lake, so we were going to have to wait for it to drain. Eventually we realized that it wasn't going to drain by the end of class, and even if it did, the sand would be dyed red. (meanwhile, all the other groups are filling up beakers with clean water from their wells) so, we get some of those mini turkey baster things. each one of us has two of them, so we have 8 little sucker things sucking up this red lake. We kept having to run back and forth to the sink because they were getting jammed with clay. Our box had become so nasty that you could jam a sucky thing into the clay, and it would fill up red without even squeezing. So, we got most of the red out, (kinda) but the clay hardened and our two well holes were stuck there perminantly unless we wetted the box down again. Meanwhile, we stuffed most of the clay into plastic bags which we would throw away after class. We actually made it out of class alive, surprisingly enough. But Miller (our science teacher greeted us in the hall by saying "nice job on the lab today guys" and scowling at us. So, that is my mishap story of the day. Plus, I am going to add a new part to my page. Mr. Miller's quote of the day. Miller says some crazy things, and I think you should read them. Thursday, his best quote was "If you go to southern CO, and say that you don't want pig poo in your water, you will probably be shot, and hung, and dragged behind four pickups." Today's quote wasn't that great (it wasn't a lecture day)

"Nice job on the science today guys."

Current Mood: laughing

ok bye!
