What I Learned Today

Mad Science by Theodore Gray

Some of the pages I read were pages 17 - 19 on Making Salt the Hard Way and pages 20-22 on Cooking at -320F. Cooking at -320F is about making ice cream using liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen freezes the ice cream mixture and does it so quickly that there is no grainy texture. Liquid nitrogen gives the ice crystals that give the grainy texture no chance to form.

German (Language Arts: German, 100+ Series) by Kelly Morris

I completed pages 15 - 17 on Weather and Family terms. Some words I learnt are die Sonne (the sun), der Regen (the rain), der Vater (the father), die Tochter (the daughter) and der Onkel (the uncle).

Today, I also played a game from a website called Planet Science. I created a planet on the website and called it Aaargh!. It had a safe orbit around the Sun, had a suitable distance to support life, had the correct atmosphere to support life and it had the correct kind of surface and also, a good spin and tilt to make it stable. It also had a moon. The game is called Planet 10. Try it if you like!
