When you and your team build a robot and you and your team compete against other teams. Their are 3 different portions of robotics, the research, the core values and the ROBOT game {this includes technical judging}. RESEARCH......is when you invent something according to the theme{the year 2011 was themed food factors}you pick a food and propose an invention to help make it better. CORE VALUES......you show gracious professionalism and 7 other good sport sayings, you show what you and your team can accomplish together. The judges will tell you and your team to do something with rules to see how well you can work together{it is a surprise what you do with your team and that day you can't tell anyone}.ROBOT GAME{TECHNICAL}...... building the robot and some attachments to put on to run the missions.You will program the robot to run missions{robots are called NXT mindstormes robot}.

I am part of a full Robotics team{you can have 3-10 people on your team}.My name is Kaya me and my team have been through many hard times when we could not agree or we couldn't figure out something.You see 2011 was my teams first year in robotics.We have 10 people from ages 9-14.our first competition we got a little let down because we did not win anything, but we knew not to give up.We tried our hardest to improve ourselves.

Creative Writing While Listening to Classical Music

This is my creative writing while listening to creative music:

It takes place at a calm morning forest. The sun is rising and the forest is getting more livly.Animals are playing ,the trees are swaying.It is midday the sun is hot ,the clouds are opening a valy. Of beautful flowers and sunshine.The day never ends the night never comes. The sun is dancing opon all who honor her. Animals chase echother ,trees bend in the cool breeze.the flowers start to glow the valy starts to shine bright with color.The moon shines his way into the dark sky the stars follow. Animals rest at the sight of the silver moon. All bonding, looking at echother in loving ways. the glowing flowers gleam with color the most beautiful sceen ever. The fox wild dog start the howles birds chirp squreles jump, starting a wonderfull song of the night dancing know. The night forest comes to live in the most fantastic way. falling to sleep in mucical dreams honoring echother loving echother feeling safe but free to go. early morning ,a bird chirp a fox howl the feild ,rabits. A wonderfull never ending . Never seen only heard, and wondered in dreams and thoughts.Animals only have seen and honored this beautifull, lively life.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atoms for kids -- What is an atom made up of, atom make-up, what is an atom, what does an atom do?

Atoms - Atoms are very small .Atoms make up every thing, including you ! Atoms are microscopic, that means they are so small you can't see them without a super powerful microscope.

As you can see the picture on the right shows you all the parts of an atom. The nucleus is in the center of the atom. It has the protons and neutrons. The electrons are negativity charged, they are within the electron clouds. Protons are positively charged and are squashed together with the neutrons. Neutrons have no electrical charge and are squashed together with the protons. The electron clouds are the area and or space of an atom. An atom is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided into and still have the properties of that element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element and have different numbers of neutrons.
