Learning Log #600,000

This week I learned how to Sew a cape, about Sewing lace, Spray Painting, Painting, and Using duct tape.

in "Physics lesson one" we learned  about Galileo and his Experiments with motion and how he experimented with a pendulum. And if two pendulums have the same length of string no matter how long each swing from left to right is it will take the same amount of time.   He also experimented with falling objects. But since things fall to fast he used a ramp and rolled balls down a ramp.  And he proved Archimedes long believed theory wrong. Which is that an object will fall faster if it weighs more and fall slower if it weight less.  But actually (I learned about this in the genius files) an object will fall until it reaches its "terminal velocity".  And then it will stay at that speed and not get any more speed.  And if an object is wide and flat it has a lower terminal velocity then an object that is shaped like a ball or a cube.  

Last week in speech and debate we had a really interesting class. First he lectured us about how we are all murders 'caus we all agreed to this statement "not saving a life is the same as taking one."   And then he started rambling on about how we should stop buying expensive stuff and buy the cheaper stuff because then we could put more money to charity.  And then later on in the class he tells us we are nobodies.  And that no one is going to want to listen to us and what we have to say and what our opinion is.  Without facts to back it up because we don't know anything about anything.  So at the end of speech of debate we were all taking about how "I feel so depressed because I'm a murder and a nobody," in whiny voices, it was really funny.

And I am really excited because soon we are going to have auditions of who we are going to be in as you like it (which is the play we are doing this year).  And I really want to be Adam who is the old guy that warns Orlando of Oliver's (who is his brother) evil plan to set his house on fire while he is sleeping.
