First two weeks by Connor

In science we have been learning about observation and how to use different senses, along with rules and safety procedures. In the past week I learned that I use my sense of sight and sound more than I do feeling, smelling, and taste(though food is an exception). The observable fact is that I am somewhat well at describing things, not in GREAT detail but enough to be able to figure out what I’m talking about; and possibly picture it in your head. Learning observation was great because I can use it at home when I want to conduct an experiment with, let’s say the different explosive qualities of magnesium, black powder, and smokeless powder.*

 A couple interesting facts about your senses, Number one: you do not NEED your sense of smell, though the benefits of such can be rewarding or entirely useless. Number Two: Did you know that you taste things with small bristles, or bumps on your tongue? They are called taste buds, and the average human has anywhere from 2000 to 8000 just on there tongue alone. Number Three: did you know that you hear because there is a small bone in your ear that vibrates constantly according to what sound is given off? But be careful they don’t grow back once broke, and loud noises can hurt it, or even fracture it.  I leave you today with the following question; Why are we like this? Why weren’t we born with let’s say 4 legs, instead of 2? Why do humans have a sense that isent necessary for survival anymore? What do brownies have to do with what I just said? (It doesn’t, I just love brownies!)

*Note from Ms Raino: I sincerely hope the Connor is obeying laws and safety whenever he does non-school experiments. Also, brownies are delicious.
