The Secret of the Sky

Tonight I’m watching up to the stars, So,

And I wonder why, I’m still watching to the stars,

Will I ever, And then come to the conclusion,

Want to study astronomy, That,

It fascinates me, Astronomy is a very interesting part of

But at the same time,
Will it be always so interesting,
Study the stars and planets,
And everything that is there,
High up in the sky,
Which we will never reach,
And study it completely,
The history of the planets.
But then there comes into my mind,
When I see the constellation of the
‘scorpion’,
How did the first men,
Ever saw a scorpion in it,
It looks like sow many other things
science,
And if I want to study,
Someday science,
I want to study Astronomy,
I don’t know exactly why,
It’s just that all the stars,
Something which we will never reach,
And never really will be sure about,
Me attracts.
Astronomy,
I think it’s a weird part of science,
You have studied the things above you.,
The things you will never really sure
about.

About Science

How your brain work

at least if you use it
Your brain (at least I hope so) consists out
Of millions and millions of tiny little cells
Called neurons, they are comparable with chips
(The electronic ones, not the potato version)
Because they send electric signals to other
Neurons which then in their turn decide to
www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/
Send a signal or no signal to other neurons. frontline/shows/teenbrain/art/
Neurons give off signals (output) if they receive brain.jpg
Enough signals from other neurons (input)
So to summarize this all into one sentence;
Your brain is just a network of in- and output cells
Which respond if they receive enough input.

Lightening
If you are hit by lightening
It’s very frightening
Probably you would shake from the
thunder
Did you wonder?
Its an electronic boom
It feels like its your doom
It started on sea
On land it builds its degree
If you are on an open field
Squat so that you aren’t revealed
But the chance that you are hot

lightening.jpg Is a billion lesser than one fifth.

Microwave terror
What not to do with your
microwave

Since mankind invented the microwave two

Things were realized; It is handy to warm
Up food, and to do weird experiments with
It when you don’t have anything else to do.
Guess what I’m going to discuss with you.
(writer laughs very demonically)
Do know that this experiment involves
Electricity and can be dangerous so be
Careful. I am going to teach you how to
Create a glowing electric field. Things standby.lbl.gov
You’ll need for this experiment;
*Glass of water (Obtainable from tap)
*Glass round jar (for stability)
*Toothpick (Gives gas required for field)
*Lighter (Lights the toothpick)
*3 corks (Hold the toothpick & glass in place)

Put the glass of water in the corner of the

Microwave, Put toothpick in one of the corks
Cut the other remaining corks in half and put
Them in the microwave so you can place the glass
On it (put the cork with toothpick in the middle),
Use the lighter to make the toothpick burn and
Quickly put the glass on it and close the microwave
And set it on the strongest settings “BEHOLD”
Don’t leave the microwave longer on

then 10 seconds.
