Blogpost #6

1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why?
I think my best is blog post #5 because it is really fun to do wordles and mine is really cool looking.

2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.
My favorite chapter is 20 because that is where they talk about thunder storms and i love it when it rains and thunders cause i get to listen to it.








3. What grade do you deserve for your 3rd Quarter Blogs?
I think i deserve more than a 90 because i have completed them on time and they are well informed. There might be spelling mistakes but that is all i hope.

Blogpost #4

1. Check out Fayetteville's pollen forecast. Which is affecting us the most right now: tree, grass, or weed pollen? Specifically, which trees, grasses, or weeds?

The oak trees are affecting us the most for pollen.


2. "You're Surrounded by Pollen," so read this article. What is needed for a "perfect storm" of pollen?
the long winter pushed back growing seasons for some plants and trees, causing them to bloom at the same time instead of at blooming at different times.The flowering season is kind of together this year. Combined that with dry, windy weather, and you have a perfect pollen storm.


3. Choose a microscopic image of pollen. Which one looks the best to you? Why? Where is this pollen commonly found? Write a paragraph in your own words explaining this specific type of pollen. Include a cool-looking picture. You may need to use other websites to help you.
The Penta Anther2 looks awesome to me because it looks like a soccer ball. Its commonly found around flowers. It has pores that collects other particles of pollen and lets them out over time.

Blog post #3

1. What are the five states of matter?

Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates are all different states of matter.

2. What is needed to change a gas into a plasma?
Energy is needed to change a gas into a plasma.

3. What is the temperature at "absolute zero?" (in Farenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin)
 0 in Kelvin. -273.15 in celsisus, and -459.67 in Farenheit.


4. What is the temperature in space? (in Kelvin)
It is three Kelvins.
5. What do you think plasma would like look/smell/feel/taste? How about Bose-Einstein Condensates?
I think plasma looks like a neon light. It would probably smell like a light bulb. it would probably feel squishy. It would probably taste reall y hot.
