jewels disgusting and delicious food experience

“Great’ “the blindfold went over my head. does it have to be me, I said. OWW, to tight… Ahhh that’s better’. It was the 12 of September, which was definitely not your average Monday. I heard Travis in the back round, “Dog poop  Dog poop  he said repeating it over and over, I sighed… surprisingly I was well, calm. I heard a cap open. “Dog poop ” he said again. “BE QUIET TRAVIS!”

Oh no the taste testing had started. My eyes closed in fright. My doubly covered eyes stung like mad. “EEK” I screamed in my head. Something hard and bumpy plopped in my head. It was a freak out a silent panic then BAM I ate it… crunchy, hmm yum it was a new me, delicious “mm, mm, mm” I said… “Anchovies” said Mr. Logan I wish he would have never said that. Felt like spewing.

OK this time im gonna give payback. Firstly to get Travis, “its stringy cat poo really popular in Asia” he probably hates me now he knows what it really is. But im pretty sure he'd rather cat dun than dried squid. At least I liked it I thought Mr. Logan said that those are foods we haven’t tasted yet. Anyway whatever it was I wasn't ready for what was next.

Well im back with my other enemy (which isn't Anna) the blindfold

Well its round I decided to bite into it, that was definitely not the best idea “AHHH HOT, HOT AHHH  I said, I grabbed my drink bottle, I was ready to jump off a cliff onto ice tongue first, just to cool the spice down. “Wasabi peas” said Mr. Logan, “WASABI” my eyes were red with fury. Before I could have shouted the next round started.

“Wow” I said “That’s not Asian” I said that’s umm? … I really didn't know.

I took a bite out of it “YUM” I said in my head, it was harder than a stick but delicious it was filled of nuts. Mr. Logan said it a muesli  bar but it’s more of a treat to me.

“OK” I said we’re almost there, almost to the tastiest.  For that particular test we’re doing, the blindfold was my friend. I felt the object, “EW” it was all squishy. I tried it and it tasted horrible. I thought it was grapes but no it was dried banana. I thought dried banana was crunchy I guest it was a different type (evil music playing in the background)

I knew that if I ate that one the next would be the best. “HA” I said Nikitas got the blind fold I chanted in my head for a long time.

There were 3 packets and inside were 2 foot shaped crackers. I tried them, chicken. It was dusty but yum it’s the best one yet but inside I knew the next one would be best of all or so I thought…

The blind fold went over my head for the last time. It was a win win competition. I took the cap off the container. My lip failed to reach it but soon I did “OW” I had cut my lip. I ate it whole… lychee, rambutan it was one, “JELLY” I said I knew it lychee jelly.

“That’s it” no more, it’s over, “YES” all my feelings put together. No more anchovies, dried squid impishly hating wasabi peas spicy outraging taste of spice. I can't wait to go shopping for the crackers the sweet taste of chicken life of happiness it was all over or so I thought.

how to make a hovercraft

WHAT YOU NEED:

- A balloon
- A pop top lid from a drink bottle
- An old CD
- Glue

WHAT TO DO:

1. Take your pop top bottle lid and glue it right over the hole in your old CD.Leave it to dry.
2. Once your lid is securely glued to the CD, blow up your balloon.Pinch the bottom of the balloon so that the air can’t escape and stretch it over the pop top.
3.Place your hovercraft on a smooth surface like a table top and open the pop top lid so that the air from the balloon starts to escape.Let go and watch your hovercraft go!Give it a little push or flick with your finger and watch it glide across your surface.

The Extreme Science behind this:

Usually, if you had a CD sitting on a table top and gave it a push – it would only move as far as your finger pushes it.This is because of friction which is a force that acts between any surfaces that rub together – friction makes it harder for the objects to slide past each other.

In this experiment though, the balloon is letting out air, which escapes out under the CD creating a layer of air between the CD and the table top.This layer of air greatly reduces the amount of friction between the CD and the table top –meaning your CD hovercraft can glide around over the surface when you flick it with your finger!
