Robots change our lives

Right now I've read this article called "Robots change our lives".
This article is about robots that can change the world and represent the future. Many people had said that the robots can take peoples jobs or run their own lives. Robots are similiar to humans but they are super smart and sometimes they might go out of control and go crazy. Most people that buy robots spend many dollars. But when people buy them, they get a hang of it by a few days. Howevere, the robot might break and you wouldn't know which pieces you must put in or take out. Some people also say that robots could rule the entire world wich would be horrible and scary. So when you see a robot for sale, just ignore it so it wouldn't ruin your life!

Flying "Plastic Carpet"

I have read this very interesting article about a plastic "flying carpet" on the BBC online internet news.
This flying carpet was made in Princeton University. The plastic carpet is 10 cm long, has air pockets that help it fly, and it floats because of electricity. The flying carpet moves only at the speed of one centimeter in one second. The scientists studied for 2 years before the invention of the carpet. The plastic flying carpet has to keep close to the ground for now but in the future with more new research the flying carpet could fly faster and higher. I think that in the future maybe this invention could lead to a new form of transportation like flying cars and stuff. 

Worm Glue

In science class, I've read this article called "the worm glue".
In this article, scientists and Russel Stewart have created a new glue from a sandcastle worm that is nontoxic, works under water and can repair broken bones. These worms can be found in low and hight tides and come out at night. The sandcastle worms can also create their own homes by using sand and their super glue that can hold the walls of their homes. Their super glue hardens in water in less than thirty seconds and becomes strong like leather. These worms also live in some laboratories where scientists can study them. When the scientists were studying the sandcastle worms, they made a even more super strong glue form the worms that is twice as strong than the original glue that the worms use. When the scientists tested the glue on a human that had a broken bone, it got healed up quickly and was not poisones to the human body cells. Now, Russell Stewart and his team helped the people that had broken bones because without him, people would be longer in the hospitals to get their bones healed up.  

Summer Science

Over the summer I’ve been playing on the computer and sometimes I had to check something. Playing on the computer over the summer was a lot of fun! Computers are my favorite because they are my favorite technology design.
The scientific thing about the computers is that the computer has everything that you want to buy, see, or explore. And that the computers have mouse that control a small pointer on the screen.
