Lab Safety

Lab safety is very important. Most people just go in science labs and mess around. They don’t take safety precautions, and most of they time, someone ends up getting hurt.

The first part about lab safety is paying attention when the teacher talks about the instructions and uses for all of the tools. If you don’t hear the rules, then you won’t be able to follow them. Secondly, you don’t smell, touch, or taste any chemicals you don’t know about. You also need to use all science equipment in the correct way. If you use a beaker as a drinking cup, old chemicals that were in the beaker can be still in there and they could poison you. The last reason you should be safe in science labs is because they’re are lots of breakable things. If you throw things or run around in a lab, then something could get broken and put the people in the room in danger.

These are some of the reasons you should always practice lab safety.

I Love Food

The first thing I do every morning is eat breakfast. I eat lunch every day. And every Friday, my family and I go to one of my favorite restaurants. I eat a lot and I love my sense of taste.

My treasured sense is taste. This sense helps us enjoy eating. If we did not have the sense of taste, nobody would want to eat, and that would make everybody very unhealthy. If nobody would eat, life itself might come to an end.

My life would be a lot different if I lost my sense of taste. I would not really care to eat. If I couldn’t taste my favorite food, what would be the difference between eating steak or worms? Taste is a gift from God. Most people think that they will always be able to taste their food, so they take that gift for granted. I am very thankful for the gift taste.

A Topicless Poem

I sit at my desk,
My brain being stressed,
As I think of a topic to write.

I write a few lines,
I say “That doesn’t rhyme”
I crumple it up and throw it away.

The due dates next week,
I think and I think,
But all I can think of is nothing.

The white paper’s glare,
It stares and it stares,
At my face while I think of a poem.

I sit a my desk,
My brain being stressed,
I pick up my pen and begin to write.

I start to write,
What has happened tonight,
A Topicless Poem I wrote.

The German Gazette- The Holocaust is Over

In 1934, the Nazi’s invaded many countries. This war went on for 11 years causing 17 million total deaths, 6 million of them Jews, 4.25 million children. Three-Fifths of these deaths were at concentration camps that the Germans controlled. At these camps, Nazi soldiers would go down the line of people and shoot the prisoners who would refuse to give information to them. If the prisoners were not shot, they would either die of starvation or be put in gas chambers. Once dead, they would be put in a huge crematoria, which would burn and dispose of the bodies. There were 156 of these camps. About 11 million deaths were caused by these camps.
Jews were Aldolf Hitler’s main target. Even though half of the deaths were Jews, almost 7 million Jews escaped to free countries like Sweden. Fisherman would hide Jews in their boats. When the Germans would have their dogs sniff their boat, fisherman would pull out a hankerchief that had chemicals on it. These chemicals would prevent the dogs from smelling. We caught up with Aldolf Hitler and asked him a couple questions. “We felt so stupid, to let 7 million Jews escape” He said. He later committed suicide on April, 30 1945. The Germans later surrendered on May, 8 1945.

Snow Day

When my family arrived in Fort Worth, there was already 2 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. When me and my sisters got out of the car, my mom told us that it was almost midnight and we sholud get some sleep for the next day. We brushed our teeth and went to bed.
Early the next morning, we went outside to play. There was twice as much snow as when we went to bed. We played in the snow all day. I built a snowman that was taller than me. Me and my sisters had a snowball figth. We also threw snowballs at my uncles dog. We had a great time!
