ScienceFair

ScienceFair was held last Tuesday in the middle school building.
My analysis : 7th grade pro
8th grade not pro
6th grade not pro
6th grade only did a powerpoint presentation and 8th grade didn't seem to actually know their topic.
Conversation with a 8th grader

Me: So how does your experiment work?
8th Grader: I dont know.....
Me: okay.......
End of conversation.

My experiment is about wind turbines and how they harness electricity so my group build a small mini wind turbine and i brought a small light to show the amount of electricity generated from a tiny fan can actaull light up a LED ( light emmiting diode )

Vietnam

Now in Vietnam for Easter Holidays......

Went to a complex called Ming Long complex where all the shops sell pottery.
Dad wanted me to paint a cup, plate, or bowl which they provided. The shop provided nothing but paint, a pencil, and the object that you wanted to paint for a cost......

No one was there to actually teach me how to paint the plate which I chose but mom and I met a friendly woman that taught me how to paint and draw a sketch of my plate design.

In the end i just drew a rabbit and some flowers........
The way i painted the rabbit and flowers made it look boring.
The complex also had some sort of weird waterfall thing with fake plastic fish inside the pool and lights. These are some pictures of the waterfall.




These are some pictures of the front of the complex which has a giant teapot and teacup.
