PTHHHHH

The title was just me .... ermmm letting out some air. Have you ever felt like the whole world counts on you yes only you to complete a  task that was meant for two? Have you ever felt like nobody is there for you? Have you ever felt awesome? Yes,Yes,Yes? That means one thing....you're awesome. Or not. During today's lesson, my partner ... she was absent! And she was supposed to build the robot!! So guess who built the robot? ME. Like who else right? Can't be you right ? So now, my fellow readers, look on the bright side you learn much more things !!! OK i know, looking on the bright side is not easy, in fact  I'm not someone who usually looks on the bright side but people change for the better, not for random stuff. Thanks for reading this longg and boring post but look on the bright side ........

Facts about Gravity!:)

Hey friends,

Have you ever wondered who discovered Gravity?

About Gravity:

Gravity was discovered 3 centuries ago by a mathematician and physicist named Sir Issac Newton. He discovered that there is a specific force, which we call gravity, that is required to change the speed or direction of something that is moving. This same force he figured must cause apples to fall from trees! After researching this hypothesis, he wrote the law of gravity. This law is a mathematical explanation for the way that things attract based on experiments and observations.

 Gravity was discovered just like this.

Food

Hey friends ! 

Have you ever felt bad because you made a mistake? 


Remember, some of our favorite foods were discovered by accident.


About popsicles:



In 1905 an eleven-year-old Frank Epperson was mixing powdered soda and water to make soda pop. Frank accidentally left the mixing bucket outside. During the night the mixture froze solid, with the wooden stirring stick standing straight up. But the frozen pop tasted great! Frank started selling Epperson icicles for five cents, later changing the name to popsicles.


I'm sure many of you here likes to eat potato chips. But, do you know how potato chips were 
discovered?

About potato chips:


One day in 1853, a diner at Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, refused to eat an order of French fries because they were too thick. The chef, George Crum, fried a thinner batch, but the customer also rejected these. Crum decided to teach the diner a lesson. He sliced a potato paper-thin and fried it so heavily it could not be cut with a fork. But the customer loved them. Soon other customers were asking for potato chips.


That was how the popsicles and potato chips were discovered!


Bye:)

Look! Here's a post(it)!

Hey, I've got an accidental discovery here! 
So let me bring you back to 1970. That's quite recent actually. Anyway, a chemist named Spencer Silver was in the 3M (you know the tape?) lab trying to create a super strong glue. But he kept failing. When pulling apart two pieces of paper stuck together with that adhesive, Spencer discovered that the glue stuck either to one paper or the other. USELESS! Now let me bring you to a church. So this man, a colleague of Silver was kind of in a church choir. He wanted to put some sort of marker to mark his page. (Like, a sticky bookmark?) So he coated his marker (Not the permanent one in the post below) with Silver's glue and it actually worked AWESOME! It didn't even damage the pages. You now this invention as the POST IT note. Wow! Yay thanks for your attention! 

Bye=)

Who Is That With The Marker?!

Hello again dear friends!

As we mentioned in our previous post, we will be sharing some facts on science. At the same time, you could also comment on our posts and ask us some questions on science like... who invented the air-con? Who discovered cells? And so on. But please don't ask us questions from your science homework. And now, I will share with the first question and its answer. 


Who invented the marker? (the things we use to write on boards not the people who mark your examination papers)    


The permanent marker was invented in 1952 by Sidney Rosenthal.


A permanent marker is a type of marker pen that is used to create permanent writing on an object. The ink of the marker is waterproof. It is capable of writing on a variety of surfaces from paper to stone. They come in a variety of tip sizes (ultra fine to wide), shapes (chisel point, bullet tip, and wide bristle), and colours (metallic, or ultraviolet reactive). Permanent marker is another name for "waterproof" marker.

Welcome to our blog!:)

Hi friends,

Welcome to our site!

We are a team taking part in National Junior Robotics Competition 2013. 

Through this blog, we will pen down our learning journey for the whole competition. 

We will also be posting something exciting for our readers.....sale of unique and interesting items! The sale of products via this blog is to raise funds for our CCA club and a charitable organisation. 

Lastly, we will be sharing some interesting and useful information and facts about science. 

So stay tuned!
