Soda Explosion!

This morning I was thinking, have I ever told my viewers about the soda explosion? No I haven't! Which is why I'm going to tell you now. So this was like a few months ago, but it is still a burning memory in my head. I was playing with my friend and she got a soda. Before I say anything else, my friend is the funnest, craziest, and most dare devil like girl I know. She had the soda in her hands, and shook it. Hard. Then, when we sat down at the near by basketball hoop, she held the bottle away from herself and me and opened it. Gush!!!!! Soda gushed out, it was an orange geyser! It was like 2minutes before the soda stopped, but even then, you could still hear it fizzing. My friend's hand was covered in soda. She still drank it. Ya, most of it was on the ground, but she said it was still good. That was one of the coolest ""homemade" thing, I ever saw. It was not like those explosions on T.V where the soda shoots so high, it came out of the soda can, in a slow and nervous, scary way. It was awesome! That would be pressure and soda, my friend.

Technical Issue

On my most recent post, How to make a flipbook, it is written a lttle differently. This might be confusing and I apologize, the directions are still the same, it just isn't as organinzed. This has been a small technical issue.

Notice Something?

Do you notice something different about this blog? You have a great eye! I added something new called pages on my blog. So far there are only two , Random Questions, and Home. Now, there will be certain pages for certain topics. I can only add 10 pages total, so this is gonna be fun. If you have any ideas on different topics, leave a comment with your idea, and if I find it page worthy, I'll see if I can add it. Thanks for listening! Signed, Aparna

I've Been Busy!!!

Ok, so over the past few days, I haven't been posting but, that is because summer means busy for me. I have these swim classes, I do piano and recently I signed up for voice.That is a lot already, then I'm playing' outside and having friends come over. In simpler words, a lot is going on. I'll try and post more often, but if I don't, once school starts, I'll be posting like crazy. P.S. Happy July!!!! I was in Connecticut on the 4th of July, so Happy Independence Day!

How to Make A Flipbook

Flipbooks are really cool. First I'll show you how to make one, then I'll explain how to use it. What You Need: 1 pack of post-itz( size matters on how long you want to make your flipbook, I'd start with small.) A Pencil Creativity 1. So, you have the post-itz, I would start with something easy. On the first page, draw a bouncy ball at the lower left corner. 2. Then you flip to the next page and draw another bouncy ball, the same size as the previous one, except a little higher and more to the right. 3. Then, flip to the next page and repeat except, higher and more to the right, again. 4. Keep repeating this, but when the bouncy ball reaches half the page, bring it down, and make it go up a again. 5. When it comes to the end of the page, stop. 6. The test! Now take the flipbook, flip the pages really fast, and you should see a bouncy ball fly across the page! Now you have made a flipbook. If you really enjoyed this, you can try to make more complicated flipbooks, like a person waving, a bunny hopping, a bird flying, or more! Did you know that flipbooks are pretty much a cartoon. Film makers sometimes create multiple slides, and when they play it back, the final product is a cartoon!

What Are You Gonna Do?

Summer has sprung! School is over so you probably have double the time to do fun stuff! What are you going to do? I'm going to Connecticcut for July 3rd, 4th, and 5th. But, other than that I'm expecting nothing more than watching T.V. and the internet. Wrong!!!! What ever you do, stay away from watching T.V. and the internet for more than6 min. There is a reason summer is sunny and nice. Or if it's one of those days where the weather takes a turn for the worst, build, plan, make, and create something!!!! There is a world of projects and crafts. Remember this and you will have a nothin' but fun summer! Bye!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT"S JUNE ALREADY!!!!!!!!

I should have posted this 4 days ago, but Happy June!!!!!!!!! School is almost over, and summer is going to begin!! Just warning, the past few days have been so, so, so, so, so, Hot! I you go outside and it is sunny, be sure to wear sunscreen, and drink lots of water. If you do that, your summer will be GREAT!

What is Your Goal?

This post would have been appropriate for a New Year Resolution, but I've been thinking about goals. What is your goal? It may seem like a simple question, but when you think about it, it really starts to make you wonder. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you want to improve? What do YOU want to do? My goal is to become a doctor, a published author, to change the world, and find a cure. What about you? Once you figure out what your goal is, you are not done yet. You have to stick to it, live for it, and work towards it. Then soon, your goal will come true. I know this was random, but still, I wondered about it.

Ted Talk

So there is this informative program called TED, but because I don't have much time right now, you can find out more by going on www.ted.com Once you look at the website you will understand this more. My class and I did a TED talk. We all these cool topics like Nanotechnology, Dark Matter, Bush Babies, Animal Cloning, Apple's Future, Social Insect Biomimcry, and The Top Ten Inventions of all time. It was amazing, and educational. We were put into groups of 3 or 4 and had to make a ten min. speech and slide show. First we had to become experts on our topic. Once we finished everything, the class and I performed them in front of some other classes and at night we performed in front of about 75 people. I was so nervous and I bet a lot of people were too. But when you talking about something you enjoy, the time melts away and you are having more fun than being nervous. I really enjoyed it and I thought I should mention it. Bye!! :)

Book Fair

So 3 days ago, my school had a book fair and my class went. There was a lot of cool, fun, and interesting book, but I got a poster and Percy Jackson and The Olympians book 3. The poster had a picture of an amazing white horse ( I prefer black) standing in a meadow and it says "Free Rein" on it. Book 3 in that series is called the Titan's Curse and 2 days later I finished it. Anyway the bookfair also had these guess how many popcorn kernels are in the bowl. It was like 600 something. I can't for the next bookfair!!
