After reading this article I was curious about how the rest of my family would answer the "Do You Know Scale." So I decided to interview my family with these questions. I surprisingly found that my family did no know that much about the rest of their family growing up. On average, they scored a 13 out of 20. However, I still feel like they can handle stress well and are happy people even though they scored low on the scale.

After I read this article I was interested in not just the unique warning signs of a volcanic eruption, but also the general warning signs of an eruption. After some research I found that the general warning signs of an imminent volcano eruption are: Inflation, swelling, earthquakes beneath the volcano, and increased heat and/or gas emissions.

After I read this article I was very curious about how inflated people preferred their bike tires. So, I decided to interview my family and I found that all my family members but one preferred fully inflated bike tires. After my experiment, the results led me to further doubt if slightly under-inflated bike tires are the best thing for bikers.

During this article, I was reading how McDonalds food does not rot. So, I had to look into this because I know that eventually every food will rot. After doing some research, I read that one possible reason that McDonalds burgers don't rot is because they are made of thin patties and buns that have low moisture levels. So, when left out, the burgers will dry and there will be no water for the bacteria to grow on.

When I read that 80% precent of Americans can't keep their New Years resolution, I thought that surely this can't be the case. So, I interviewed my family members about their NewYears Resolution from last year and surprisingly, I found that 75% of our family didn't keep their New Years resolution. So, in conclusion most typical Americans can't keep their New Years Resolution.

When I was reading this article I noticed that Dr. Loffing never chose to analyze soccer. So, I decided to do some research on my own and (as suspected) some great players in futbol history were lefties. Such as Marcelo and Diego Maradona. Also, one of the biggest names in futbol history is left footed, and that is Lionel Messi.

In the portion of the study where a group of students wrote about what their lives would be like in the future if all their hopes and dreams came true, I was unconvinced. So, I tried writing out what I thought my life would be like if everything went amazingly well, and it turned out that it actually helped me. It didn't necessarily make me feel happier, but it made me feel more comfortable and confident in pursuing my goals to try to make my hopes and dreams come true.

During this reading I was a little bit skeptical that writing a journal of the things that you are grateful for can make you happier, so, I had to try it out for myself. I then wrote down 25 things that I was grateful for and reflected on that for a moment. After I had done so I felt happy that I had these things to be grateful for in the first place.

When I read that you can get scurvy from lack of vitamin c I started wondering about which foods would give you the most vitamin c. So, I Did some research and I found that the foods that are highest in vitamin c are; peppers, guavas, dark leafy greens, kiwifruit, broccoli, berries (strawberries), citrus fruits (oranges), tomatoes, peas, and papayas. In conclusion, if you want to increase your vitamin c intake, you should consider these foods.

When I read that it takes approximately 30 minutes for you knuckles to be able to pop again I was a little uncertain. So, I decided to do an experiment to see if that was true. For the experiment I cracked all my knuckles and then I waited 10 minutes. After the ten minutes was up I tried to crack my fingers again and I found that I was able to crack almost all of my knuckles. In conclusion, I learned that (for me at least) it takes only about ten minutes to crack my knuckles again.

Vikings razed the forest. Can Iceland regrow them? Cade Donahue

Today I decided to do an experiment on what soil erodes faster by water, rich soil with plant life, or regular dirt with no plant life. My hypothesis was that the soil with no plant life would erode faster than the soil with plant life. during the experiment I poured the same amount of water onto each subject. I found that my hypotheses was correct because the soil without the plant life created little craters wherever the water was poured and the other soil just absorbed the water.

To add onto what I learned about the desertification in Iceland, I decided to learn about other countries and regions on our planet that have been going through serious desertification and deforestation. I learned that annually, over 12 million hectares of forest are taken down, and only half of that is being put back into the ground. Many countries with the largest forests are on the top ten for deforestation rates, with Russia, Brazil, Canada, and the U.S. In the U.S. much of the land was repurposed for agricultural needs during the arrival of settlers from Europe. In Russia, their massively large forests are being taken down, and this is all culminating to the increasing global warming rates, which is very bad for our planet.

I have done two plant for the planet academies. Plant for the planet is an organization founded by an 11-year-old whose goal was to plant 1 billion trees. They have reached that goal and now they are trying to plan 1 trillion trees. At those academies I have planted three trees total. There are academies around the world and they all plant trees, and educate others about climate change and how planting trees can help slow down climate change.

I made a smoothie. It is a "green smoothie" that we originally had in NY and we loved it so we got the recipe and brought it back with us. It's ingredients are: kale, celery, cucumber, pineapple, lemon, mint, apple, and ginger. You could add a scoop of protein powder to give it protein, but I feel like it is pretty healthy anyways.

I thought that it was very interesting how something such as having scarcer mice (due to predators) could help protect against Lyme disease. Even though this idea could work, I believe that it would take a lot of effort to get foxes to eat more mice than they are already eating, and this why I am a little skeptical about this idea actually working

I thought that water being a universal solvent was really interesting, so I did a test where one cup had water and oil, and the other cup had water and salt. The cup with oil didn't dissolve into the water, but the cup with salt did.

I wanted to see if I could make a mini circle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation so I came up with the idea to do it in a closed container and to speed up the process, I used warm water. It worked. As the steam rose to the top, water droplets started forming and soon enough, they started falling or raining back down into the water. This was really interesting because I had created a small weather system in a Tupperware container.

I took a picture of ice cubes floating in a glass of water. I chose to do this because I thought it was really interesting that the article said that water expands as it freezes, trapping air molecules. This make it float. (Sorry for the blueberries, but I had made blueberry ice cubes and didn't have any regular ones)

The image below is a picture of water dissolving salt in a glass. I chose this picture because I thought it was interesting when the article was talking about how water is a universal solvent and is good for dissolving things like salt, sugar, alkalis, and even gasses. So, I decided to try it at home.

Why do cats love boxes so much
It must only be cats because my dogs sniffed it then walked away

# data[].attributes.body
William Yu
My dog, Percy, would only sniff the box and not go in it. He would only get a little bit closer if I offered him a treat. I think that this happened because he is more used to his bed compared to a box he just saw. I think that my dog is very cautious about what he does, and that may be why he didn't approach the box with confidence.

Third experiment
Subject: Nibbles Turnbull
Results: After brutally attacking the box, the bird ignored it for the rest of the experiment.
Conclusion (all three) I think each animal reacted differently because of their survival strategies in the wild.
Dog, predator: doesn't care about box
Guinea pig, prey, stays alive by hiding: prefers boxes
Bird, prey, stays alive by running: hates box

I definitely took some liberties in this experiment, but my experiment involved two guinea pigs, one dog, and one bird. First I would take the animal to a place it felt comfortable, then I would give them a box of appropriate size, after that I just observed.
First experiment
Subject: Packet Lemon Turnbull
Results: Packet went along his merry way paying no attention to the box. After he realized that there was no food involved
He just walked away.

My cat usually sleeps on my bed. I first tried a box with a blanket inside of it and my cat ignored it, but when I put him inside of it he loved it. I then tried it with the tape and it didn't really work for him. He still sleeps on my bed at night even though the box and tape are still there.
