Building a Sextant Day 3

Not much happened yesterday, but today was noteworthy! Randy and I are on the last step, and we are only waiting for the glue to dry. The glues were changed from a hot glue gun to standard Elmer's glue due to the fact that the pieces were getting to thick. We went down to the beach to test the sextant, and it worked it was extremely intensely amazingly close to the zero on C6!

Painted Black Lyrics

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black
Yeah!

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

Sextant I hope to buy...

I hope to but this in the next 7 and 1/2 hours.

Black Hole PBL Questions

Essential Question:

Are black holes in movies the same as in real life?

Facts:

They are made from a distortion in space-time.

They reflect no light, thus being called a black hole.

PBL Popcorn Questions

I chose to experiment with popcorn, I want to include:
Why is this an explosion?
How do different brands of popcorn explode?
Do things like butter or other seasonings effect the explosion?
Do the kernels left over have anything to say about the explosion?

How it relates to my question: How do I control explosives?
How are explosions with popcorn kernels contained?
