So, like Mr. Sale said, we did our Canadian Scholastics Challenge today. Apparently, if you win, you get a really cool prize and trophy. Well, our class is the only class participating, so one of us is going to be the big winner. It was pretty easy. Since it was multiple choice, we could easily have guessed the answer. We had an hour to finish. To make it worse, they had a countdown until the test was over, so that put a lot of us under pressure. Speaking of pressure, right after the test, we had a religion test, with the three hardest religions ever. Buddhism, Taoism, and Wicca. I barely pulled off a B, after spending the night studying.
Oh! In science, we did this really cool experiment called "egg in a bottle." Ms. Davidson, our student teacher, had a beaker, a match, and a peeled, hard boiled egg. First she got some scrap paper, then burnt it with the match, and dropped it in the beaker, so it was still burning when it was inside. Quickly, she put the egg on the top of the beaker, to cover it. Guess what happened next? The egg just squeezed itself into the bottle and plop! it landed inside, still maintaining its shape. Cool, right? Well, the only problem was getting it out again. We tried blowing into it, but it didn't work. Some of us suggested using a stick and poking it out, but that would be too messy. Finally, we decided to pour water into and it and try to get it out. Ms. Davidson went out of the room to do that, so I'm not sure if it actually worked. Also, Ms. Smedley announced the science fair winners. Guess who got in? Alex, Cynthia, and Leslie. They get to go to the district science fair, and hopefully get into the regionals.
Good luck to the science fair winners!
