One Man's Wilderness By Richard Proenneke

This is a diorama that i made based on the book that i am reading it is called Ones Man Wilderness .

Thing i used to make the diorama 

• red paint 
• gray paint
• brown paint 
• rocks
• water effect
• moss
• school glue
• paint brushes
• foam board
• blue paint
• dirt
• log cabin

What to do

First you put a line of school glue where you put the water effect so it dose not go every where.  Then you paint the foam board blue where the water goes so it looks like blue water then you pour the water effect on the board the let it dry for 24 hours.  For the land you put glue every where then you put rocks by the water and you put moss above the rocks and you put the dirt for the path to the door before you are done you put water in a bottle and put school glue in the spray bottle and you spray everything. Then you are done your diorama.

This book is about a man that lived in Alaska. He built a log cabin and lived off the land.  It is interesting to learn about people that live in Alaska and they live off the land and build there own house out of trees .

Rock Candy

You will need

• 15cm piece of string
• A pencil
• A paper clip
• 1cup of water
• 2 cups of water
• A glass jar

What to do
Dissolve the sugar in the water and pour in to the glass jar.  Put the pencil across the top of the jar so that the string hangs down the middle of the jar.  The string will act as a seed for the crystal.  After two weeks we had rock candy to enjoy.
                                                 

Potato Clock Experiment

Did you know that you could power a clock with a potato?  
This is what we used to build the potato clock

• Two copper electrodes
• Two zinc electrodes
• three alligator clip wires
• Two potatoes
• Led clock

Things that we tried to power with the potatoes but didn't work

• Nano bug
• Light bulb
• Music box from circuit set

I think this is because the potatoes did not have enough power to run these things.

What I learned:

• Its a big huge circuit.
• Potatoes are acting as the batteries.
• If we take the clock out of the circuit, we could create a short circuit and make french fries!

ITS NOT CALLED A TROUT

I did some researche on trout and it said that is was a brook trout. Brook trout spawn in late summer or autum. They can get up to 20 inches in leangth.Adult brook trout can travel miles it till they get to thair spawning grounds.
