Technology can tell us how to use it, but yet we also use it. We sometimes think that technology can be used in a certain way but yet it can be used in more than what we think. We see a ruler being used to measure but, we don't think about how it can be used different.

The trays are very hard to figure out and hard to document because of the limitation we have. The one limitation, only the marble can go in the middle, makes things complicated. Science ideas can easily change. We were thinking that it was a triangle, but it may not even be a shape. there might also be something on the cardboard that is catching the marble.
Scientists clean up ideas so that people can understand them. If they put their normal ideas in a journal they may not understand them. Which would be quite confusing.
I have came up with some ideas that might work to figure it out. Take a camera and try and get a picture of what is under it without it going under the middle. Or use a mirror to look under. But that might make another rule from mr.kruse (god of the boxes may not let us use)

What are some of the downsides or negative effects of technology?
There are many downsides to technology. Even if there are good things to. Some of the downsides are:
People can be easily distracted. For example; if you let a kid use a computer in school they can play games on it and not listen to whoever is talking.
Some people will sit on a couch all day and play video games or go on the computer which may keep them from doing other things.
Ipod's or MP3 players can damage a persons hearing. If they turn up the headphones too loud it can possibly be damaging.
It can cause people to be constantly working. They can be reached at home by cell phones, text, email or many other devices.
Some people get addicted to certain technology.
If someone is trying to figure something out and they have used a computer all their life that might be all they think about to use.
Why do we not usually think about the negative impact of tech?
Because everyone thinks the technology will always help us. Even when they know it is damaging.

Global Warming
What do I believe is the cause of global warming?
Humans putting out too many greehouse fases, but...
http://globalclimatechange.jpl.nasa.gov/news/index.cfm?FuseAction=ShowNews&NewsID=32
After viewing this website it seems like it is more of a global climate change instead of global warming. It shows that climate change explains the global warming of the Earth and, the other things greehouse gases do, and will affect.
Should be be concerned?
I don't think we should be too concerned, but yet we should be concerned. I think that some people think too much about global warming being the cause of all the changes that are happening to the Earth. Because mostly all we should be concerned about is how much greenhouse gases we put out.
What action should humans take?
Humans should watch how much greenhouse gases the put out. This includes how much the pollute things.

Thoughts about using the computer
I like using the computers. It is easiear to find information and the sort of help get and answer for things. Even though some answers aren't all on the internet for things, it helps get to the answer. The only problem with them is that the could be a distraction. But not a very big one.
Troposphere
Why does the troposphere have higher pressure than the mesosphere?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. It is also denser than the layers around it. That is because of all the weight compressing on it. The mesosphere has less weight compressing on it. The air at higher altitudes has less atmospheric pressure. This is because there are less air molecules, and also a lesser affect of gravity. The troposphere is close to Earth causing there to be more air molecules and a greater affect of gravity. Which makes the pressure higher.

Goals for this Semester.
Hi.
I want to participate more in classes, because in some classes I sit and listen and in some I do participate. I also want to keep up my grades. Especially math. I would probabaly do better if I payed a little bit more attention,and back to my first goal,participated more.
I also want to,(even though this isn't school related), get better at my guitar playing skills. Since I had to stop learning for the play. :'( I will probably have to play everyday,even though I pretty much do, and maybe talk my cousin into showing me a thing or two.
Another goal I have,(still not really school related), is to perfect my dancing for the play....Curtains.. Woo.. I will have to practice my dancing and make sure I get to every practice. And having to dance with a really short person does not help.
One thing that frusturates me about school is teachers that don't explain anything. It annoys me. :p
Bye.
