alright now first off we had to get clay and shape the clay in to the mold we wanted to work with. and then after that we got wooden sticks and made the details. and for the corners i used the wooden stick to shape it out.and then we waited one week for it to fully dry when it had dried my lovely teacher Mrs cutler hot glued it a little bit after that Mrs had to put them on the wall pretty risky i know. and from then on we have to be REALLY careful of them. bye the way this isn't mine------------------------------------------------------------------>type in the comments how you did (=

the extreme learning in kakapo

hi guys as you can see i have made a cool looking sunflower im just joking this is a one off the net but i couldn't get a proper photo off it  it was up on a wall. anyway on to the flower for the pedals we got paper and just painted it with pure yellow paint and then waited for that to dry. and then most off us  drew lines but i didn't i just went crazy with pedals. and then for the middle we got a brown bit off paper and painted a black circle. and then we waited for it to dry and then we got some rolled up toilet paper rolls and dipped them in paint .and then we spotted the center with the black and white paint.

chemistry is so incredibly awesome

chemistry is a big thing on this earth because all of the chemicals like H20 and water those two create clouds.  the warm earths crust  and water creates fog.  chemical changes and physical changes a physical change is just a change in looks for example popcorn there's a layer on the out side and it obliterates but a chemical change is a change in chemicals like wood cause it turns from a mass to little particles. CHEMISTRY IS SO FUN!!!.> tell me what you know about chemistry (=
