Good Morning blog buddies,
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while I’ve been really busy. I had a great last day of school before spring break, we went to a LAKE! At the lake we skipped rocks, and of course I didn’t know how so our teacher Charlie had to show me. While skipping rocks we talked about what we would see when we were hiking. After oh maybe 30 minutes we went and started the real hiking, mud slopes, rocks, water, vines all of that stuff and we got to explore. Some people found fish scales and others found really cool rocks. After that we hiked back into sunlight (we were under tons of trees) and hiked to eat lunch.
Then we climbed a big hill and explored some more some people found GEODES! Well anyways we climbed rock mountains and just kinda ran around to look for fossils, one fossil which is called “Indian Bead” is actually a fossilized stem from the crinoid plant. After maybe oh an hour we sat down on rocks and talked about the day while Charlie was videoing us, It was an AWESOME DAY!
Bbye Blogging Buddies

I got second place in the biology category, and my project was Can plants grow with other liquids?
I had learned that for science fair stuff you actually need to test stuff not just do a volcano or something. I Had about 2 weeks to grow plants, do my board and practice. It took a lot of time and organization. Also when I was growing plants I had no results so I have to continue the project. Any ways Here is a photo of my board:

Okay to make the soap we used, 4oz. of oil, 4oz. of shortening, 7oz. of lye and 2oz. of water. You never pour water into lye only lye into water. Then we added some scent and blended it together. The lye can burn you so we had to use gloves. If we got lye on us we pured vinegar on it. The soap was hard to make!
When we made the cheese we used
Ingredients
1 Gallon Cows Milk- Whole, 2% or 1%
Lipase Powder (Mild)- optional, for flavor * (this is not vegetarian)
Liquid Calcium Chloride (for store bought homogenized milk only)
Citric Acid Powder
Rennet (Liquid or Tablet)
Cheese Salt- (non-iodized, flaked salt)
Utensils
2 Gal or Larger Stock Pot
Thermometer
Slotted Spoon
Microwavable bowl (s)
It was very stinky, we had too wait for the curds to come up and stuff. But when they did I got ot make them into a ball and squeeze it to get rid of the whey. Then we had to micro wave it and knead it it was an Awesome experience! For both of them!
