Spring Break

2008-04-02T16:54:00.000-07:00

Over spring break I went to the coast with Quinn. We were there for the weekend. It was Quinn's Birthday and he could only choose one person to come. We went to the beach 3 times, and found a lot of cool stuff. And we went to the swimming pool once. It was fun. After swimming we celebrated Quinn's birthday. On the way back went to Mo's and had lunch. I had a GREAT time.

Skiing!!!

Yesterday we skipped school and went skiing! Mom, Dad, Claire, and I went skiing at Hoodoo. Claire and I never skied before, so we took a lesson. It took us 1 hour to learn how to ski. Our instructor told us that we were the only kids that did not fall off the chair lift on the first try. We had a GREAT time!!!!!

I finally finished my science far project. It was about "Does Color Affect Grip Strength?" This my report.

Introduction

My science fair project is going to test if looking at certain colors will affect hand strength. It sounded like a fun experiment and my dad suggested it to me. He is a strength and conditioning coach and had the equipment to do this project.

I will test each person with a hand dynamometer once with no color, a second time after looking at plain paper for 5 minutes, then a third time after looking at Baker-Miller pink for 5 minutes. After the testing, I will graph the results to see which color had the most affect on hand strength.

I know that sometimes prisons and hospitals use pink to help settle down people that are there. In sports, some teams paint the visiting locker rooms pink to make the other team calmer and not play as well. Baker-Miller pink is supposed to calm people and I want to test to see if that is true.

Bulls & Blazers Game

2008-02-11T19:19:00.000-08:00

We talked to Tara, Ligs, Erik, Marc, Bill, Pete, Ron, Mike, Jim, and Mr. Tedeschi. It was nice to see everyone. Claire & I got to see Noce & Chris Duhon after the game. I was late for school the next day.
