Literature is a form of writing that enjoys the reader. It is said to have originated from somewhere in Sumer. It is a beautiful way to convey a message, most of the time. It is also a destructive way to 'get' someone. In China, they wrote on logs, while everyone knows that in Egypt they used papyrus. As it spread, more people picked it up, such as Shakespeare, William Caxton, and Shen Kuo, and it helped spur inventions such as the printing press, made by Johann Gutenberg. Many fun and serious stories popped out of literature, because they WERE literature.
(NOTE)= I'm going to be studying it, starting with the Epic Of Gilgamesh.
There ya go!

# Pre-history Q.P. #
I am right now studying the remarkable history of human life 100,000 of years ago, modern Homo sapiens. Humans were gifted with a powerful gift called speech. While being around the 17th smartest creature, we were able to work together to build civilizations. We has another tool, too. We had the ability to improve already made tools and make new ones. Unlike our cousin the chimp, who used a stick to get bugs 100,000 years ago, and uses one now, we used the stick, then used a piece of rock tied to a stick, then improved it again and again until we invented the spade.
See ya!
See ya!
Solar Car Lab
I have recently been working on a solar car at the Science Museum in Buffalo, NY. We have been using hot glue guns, foam, and wood to iron out plans and skeletons for our cars. We also use cloth, paper clips, saws, and laser cutters to make extensive details. We can use 3D printing, rulers, and screwdrivers to get every last detail right. We have split up into separate teams, but the race is going to be with two other schools. We have lots of awards, so your car doesn't have to 'move' as long as it looks good. We have the entire lab to our disposal.
I have made a car named project pumpkin pi. I have a simple gear system, golf balls, foam, and wood to make it the best possible. I am currently working on making the solar panel being able to move in all directions. I have also been working on a blueprint to make sure I'm getting it done right. I am also working on making the car work. :P Hope you wish me luck!

Pros and Cons of: Home movies, Drive Ins, and theaters.
Hey! This is going to be a list of Pro and Cons about where you can watch movies. The three things are going to be Home Movies, Drive Ins, and Theaters. I'm going to do a list about what I think about these things. So, here is the start:
Lets start with the biggest problem: Other People's Noise. Now, Movie Theaters draw a complete blank here, as they are by far the most noise making of the three, barely letting you hear the movie. But what are you saying? "Surely Drive Ins make more noise, being cars and all." Well, here is a clincher: The cars are turned off for the movie, I doubt you can turn off a wailing three year old, and if someone is talking, the speakers are IN YOUR CAR. Oh, and Home Movies eliminate this problem completely. And, at a Drive In and Home, you are allowed to talk. So, here is my conclusion of this paragraph: Home Movies: 1st, Drive Ins: 2nd, and Theaters: 3rd.
Then, lets go with Choice in Movies. Again, Movies are last, with one screen. I have seen drive ins with four screens, so you have more choice there. And, if you have a large DVD selection or Netflix, then you have all your favorites! What more would you want? And, you can have as many features as you want at home, and Drive Ins have double if not triple features. Movie double features are so rare that you need a microscope. So, here is my conclusion of this paragraph: Home Movies: 1st, Drive Ins: 2nd, and Theaters: 3rd.
And then, Pets. How often can you bring dog/cat/bird/rodent/reptile/alien/pet to the theater? Once again, Movie Theaters draw a blank, as when you're home, you can watch with any one or thing. Drive Ins have rules about as long as your pet doesn't make noise, it can come in. So, once again, here is my conclusion of this paragraph: Home Movies: 1st, Drive Ins: 2nd, and Theaters: 3rd.
Also, Food Choices. I know for a fact you get soda and candy and way to buttery popcorn at the theater. Ever seen hotdogs, pizza, and onion rings? At the drive in, you can get than and much more. While a home movie lets you have total choice, it's easier to order it. Conclusion Time: Drive Ins: 1st, Home Movies: 2nd, and Theaters: 3rd.
And Comfort. You like being kicked, having the armrests hogged, and having cushions that are made of wood? Good, cause that's what you will get at the theater! Meanwhile, in your car, you will have your regular, made to your desire, chair. And at home? Your choice of seating! Now here we go with the conclusion: Home Movies: 1st, Drive Ins: 2nd, and Theaters: 3rd.
Now, here are the overall stats: Home Movies: 1st, Drive Ins: 2nd, and Theaters: 3rd. Hope you keep this list in mind!

Science Q.P.
This here blog is going to be about the bicycle dynamo! It's not very complex, and it uses magnets! It is a pole between two magnets, south and north, has a wire wrapped around a backwards C shape pole, and is connected on the edge with a screw to your bicycle, or whatever you are using. The pole rotates, creating a small magnetic field. This field is then attracted to the pole, which then turns it into electricity! The wires take it out to wherever it needs to go.
And that's your science for the day! Seeya!
