=**Rango investigation**=

====introduction: When the investigator saw Rango on the ground lying on his back he had to investigate to see if he could figure out who poisoned Rango. When he saw the crime scene he noticed a clear liquid, what looked like a white powdery substance ,and an item near him on the ground. The investigator noticed that Rango was laying down with his head towards the sink and his feet was toward the item .====

====hypothesies:the investigator thought if the powder was ascorbic acid, the liquid was water , the hot dog was regular, and the item was zinc then the wicked witch poisened him because she had all those things.====

step7: the scientist tested the flamibility and none were flamible
powder procedures step1:the scientist obtained the powder

conclusion
====the scientists hypothesis for this experiment was wrong because the crime scene powder was not ascorbic acid, instead it was baking soda .The scientist knew this because he ran test with the crime scene powder , and the baking soda and all results for every single test were the same .So when the scientist figured out that it wasnt ascorbic acid , then he knew it wasnt the wicked witch. Then he found out that Dorothy was the one that poisoned Rango .==== ====after finding who poisoned Rango the scientist told us that there were some limitations on his mateials for his experiment. he said if he would of had more time and better equipment like better beakers, test tubes , graduated cylinders , and even magnifying glasses then this test would of been easier for him. When the scientist tested density he said that his technique was not the best and took him a little longer, but he got it done. the scientist said after this experiment I want to experiment on lots of other poison victims .====

superhero activity: = **The Adventures of Shiny Man** = **"HELP! HELP"!** **The cry of an innocent civilian was heard by Shiny Man, and he immidiantly bolted into action. With Shiny Man's very light weight, he was able to respond to the cry very quickly. When he got to the scene where the cry for help had taken place he noticed a young boy drowning. He dove underwater, and stayed under for a long time killing lots of fish but it was all worth it , because he recovered the boy and once again was a town hero .** **As he was walking home he noticed that there was a criminal trying to break into a house. He wanted to get a closer look, so he dashed over there and saw the man stealing a televison , so he used his powers to control electricity and electricuted him causing the criminal to not be very active anymore. So for punishment since the criminal could not move much any more he took him outside. He then got his shiny armor on and blinded him with the light from the sun causing the criminal to have memory loss, weight loss , and internal and mental problems. So from being blinded from Shiny Man's armor the criminal was put in jail .** **So then once again shiny man walked home to his house in New York. The next morning he woke up and saw that a wreck had occurred right outside of his house. he noticed a big area of the road was covered by a mysterious green gew. So shiny man went over and touched it. Then smoke rose from under him. It seemed to be because of the gew and the reactivity he has to it. then one of his villans threw fire near him and lit the gew on fire thinking he had killed Shiny Man. Then as shiny man rose from the fire he said “I can walk through fire now, whoa”. Then as the villan tried to escape he quickly ran in flames toward him .when he got near him though the villan knocked over a bottle of toxic fumes and Shiny Man was weakened .** **Even though he was weakened he still was chasing him and on fire. Then all the smoke had filled up the room so he couldn’t see where the villan was. Then he set off a smell that came from his aluminum body that was so bad that it made the villan very weak and caused him internal problems with his lungs so he couldn’t run long, because he was running out of breathe very quickly. Then he returned to his normal life, job , and home and all the citizens of Red City went back to their normal lives.** The Poisoning of Rango PP= Physical CP= Chemical Changes

musical instrument essay

have you ever been in a band ? well im in a band and its really cool because we got to make our own instruments and name our own band. My band's name is the stampede. We chose that name because our school is Lanier, and we thought of a stampede of longhorns. So after we got the band name i made my instrument. mmy instrument is called the pipe drum. I got the idea from a vide that i saw on youtube of the Blue man group. The pipe drum is kind of like a real drum because they are both in the percussion family. The pipe drum has six different pitches and the tone quality is good, and the volume is great.

So when i watched the video of the pipe drum being used, i noticed that they were using pbc pipes. So the next day i asked my dad if he could go and get me some. So he took me to Home Depot and bought me several different size and shapes of pbc pipes. Then he helped me put it together. the way i put it together was by using connectors to connect the pipes together, so it would not fall apart and be close together kinda like a real drum.

So to make my instrument a little different from the one i saw in the video, inside the pipes put cotton balls in them. I put a different amount of cotton balls in each pipe to make a different sound in each pipe. i also had a problems with them sounding th same though. So i cut the pipes into different sizes and lengths to get a different pitch .I put it on a chair usually to make the resonance better and the sound bounces off it and goes to the crowd, or audience.another problem was the drumsticks. I originally just used two thin pbc pipes, but it sounded weird so i put a small brass fitting in each of the drum sticks and they sound a lot better. i also added tape at the bottom of them for grip.

The pipe drum really can only be played one way. you hit the pipes with the sticks and a sound comes out. now depending on the size of the pipe you hit the different sound it will make. Also you can adjust the volume by the power u hit the pipe with. So if u hit it hard it will be really loud, but if u hit it soft it will be really quiet. You can also tune the instrument to sound different by adding cotton balls to the inside of the pipes and making a different pitch. the way the noise works that u can hear is when you hit the pipe the waves bounce back causing a sound at a various loudness depending on how hard you hit the

this project was probably one of my favorite projects that i have ever done. I liked that we could be creative and use our imagination, and make a new instrument. I like that i got to make the instrument from scratch and just with stuff that are not used in real instruments. Also i have always wanted to play the drums, so this experience helped me learn kind of what its like to be a drummer in the percussion.i learned more about waves , pitch , and lots acout resonance. So if i had to change anything with my project, I think i would change the way i made my drumsticks to make a different sound, but overall this project was really fun.
