Try and catch her now!!!

  Hello evil chidren who are reading this blog. I am Mrs. Gahoobansteiniumalodextriumfoxtatiame! ( goo-ben-stine-ee-umm-mal-oh-dex-tree-umm-fox-tah-tee-ame) I have captured SuperSara and she is being held hostage for her life. Don' Belive me? Look below!


I guess I have to do this blog thing now, ugh! Well, here are some ghost pictures:

My Mother



My two cousins


Need some more info? Here are some people who've been through ghosts encounters:

"We had a ghost living in our attic when I was nine years old. The ghost stayed in the attic for the most part but became quite active late at night. We would hear things moving around and the thumps would literally wake us up from a dead sleep. He/she.....would also open the attic door in the wee hours of the night for us to find open in the morning.....talk about chills"
                                                                            - Web master of ghoststudy.com


Sound like enough information? No, no. We are not done already.

"Gaga told her people to get the equipment because she was afraid of "bad energy." Supposedly they then conducted a sweep of the backstage area after getting the gear from Dan Webb's "ghost-busting firm." He added that 'Her aide said the gear had to be robust as they were ­taking it on the road - so they must be doing this every­where Lady Gaga is performing.'"
                                                                     - ParanormalPopCulture about Lady Gaga's ghost encounter


''I absolutely believe in ghosts ... I'm convinced the souls of the dead can come back to take care of things that were unresolved when they died. Or to visit loved ones and comfort them. I've never seen one, but I've felt the presence of a ghost near me. At least I'd like to believe that. I find it very comforting to think that we don't stop existing when we die.''
                                                                                     - Halle Berry

It's very foolish not to beleive in ghosts, what do you think? Here's a quote:

"Personally, I do not believe that Paranormal forces exist. But I'm certainly not so sure about that that I would say I know they definitely couldn't exist.On the basis of the evidence as I see it, I would bet money against it. But I would support Parapsychologists trying to find evidence that would convince me. So far that evidence isn't available."
                                                                        - Foolish user from videojug.com


Does SuperSara like ghosts? let's find out!



Here are some more pictures of ghosts:

My beautiful mother


SuperSara wants to talk to you again, ugh:

ACIDS AND BASES HAVE TWO DIFFRE.... Just kidding were moving on ;-)

  Hey guys! its SuperSara with another SuperAwesome post about... chemical and physical changes!! Yay!! Ok, so this isn't very hard, but I'll try to explain it in the easiest way!




   Ok so lets go over some vocab words:
  • Physical Change: When a product's appearance is changed, but it still has the same properties. Ex: crumbling up paper, slicing and apple, and cracking an egg.  Look at the video below for more info on physical changes, and some pictures too!


             

    • Chemical Change:When the properties of a product are changed. Ex: Burning a piece of paper, adding oxygen to an apple to make it brown, and frying an egg.
                                                        
                                                                                  
        

      Well... I know this was a short blog post, but there will be more in the future. SuperSaraSuperbye! Now for a huge peace sign!


        Bye!

    Acids and Bases have 2 different faces... 2 DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES!!!

    AND YA GOTTA FIND OUT WHAT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT IF YA WANNA LEARN CHEMISTRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem* Sorry, just having a SuperSaraSuperSingalong! Ok so today we are gonna learn about Acids and Bases. Yay! OK, SO THESE ARE ACTUALLY REALLY COOL!! Okay so to start you off here with the definitions you have gostes to learn!

    Acids:  A substance that is acidic, obviously. Acids turn litmus paper to red, and are sour. Some examples of acids are:
    • Lemon Juice
    • Vinegar
    • Beer
    • Coke
    • Battery acid

    Base: A substance that turns litmus paper to blue and is bitter, slippery, and soapy. Some examples of bases are:
    • Soap, no duh!
    • Egg whites
    • Dish washing liquid, basically anything with soap

                                                                         
      
    "Well, what happens when acids and bases are brought together?" Well, its actually really simple. The base will make the acids a neutral. Remembering this is about as hard as making a bowl of cereal, so I'm pretty sure you will!

    I'm also gonna teach you about the PH scale, with SuperAwesomeVideo!! Yay I know you guys like those so yup here it is and there is a picture below too!


     Woah! Theres even more! Heres this awesome video from your family at youtube!!!



    Well thats all for this blog post folks! lol cya soon!! SuperSaraSuperBye!! Now here is a huge smiley:

    HLiNaKRbCsFr NOF!!! ( hill-lih-nahk-rib-cis-fer-noff) LEO SAYS GER!!

      Hey!!! Its SuperSara with another blog post about the difference between Oxidation and reduction!! ( Try to act excited) We just watched a video even LONGER THAN THE LAST ONE!! ( I didn't know it was possible) I would attach the video but, Mr. Sellers says not to, its kinda pointless. Hey, gotta follow the rules! ( SuperSaras life lesson of the day #1) I am very confused about this topic so hopefully, at the end of this blog post, we will both be smarter!

      Okay, so y'all are probably very confused about the whole title. (The HLiNaKRbCsFr NOF!!! ( hill-lih-nahk-rib-cis-fer-noff) LEO SAYS GER!!) So SuperSara will divide it up for ya and you will understand more!! Ok so basically the HLiNaKRbCsFr part was just naming all the elements that give away electrons. They are the first row on the periodic table. Look at the picture below. The elements that are circled in purple are the HLiNaKRbCsFr's. Start with the H on the top left and go down. Again, these are the elements that give away electrons. It's basically like HLiNaKRbCsFr is giving away a bunch of free money ( money in this case is electrons). This is called Oxidation.  Agian, this happens when you give away electrons.


      The "NOF" part stands for nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine. They like to take all the money away from HLiNaKRbCsFr. Since HLiNaKRbCsFr is handing them out, they just take all of them, everything, all the electrons. This is called reduction. They want to become negatively charged, they dont care! So about the Leo says Ger thing, there is a video below explainig oxidation and reduction. Enjoys!
                                                

       I hope in this case, literally, the title explained it all. I hope you all have a good day and I hope this blog post taught you something! SuperSaraSuperBye!!

    Metallic Bombs, Covalent Bombs, and Ionic Bombs

    BOMBS?! Sorry I meant bonds... Hello? Trying to funny here? Haha well anyways... SUPERSARA AT'CHA HERE WITH A BLOG ABOUT( DRUM ROLL PLEASE, [I missed them]) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METALLIC BONDS, COVALENT BONDS AND IONIC BONDS!!!!! (I know right?? I don't what these mean either) So... umm lets find out~! We just watched sooooper dooooper long video so I will attach the video in case you have alot of free time on your hands.




    Ok, so the video explains alot, but this is SUPERSARAS BLOG!!! I'm not gonna attach a video and say," ok bye, the video was your learning teacher person!!" Especially because this video is 13 minutes long... but thats besides the point! Okay, so what goes on in this video you ask? SuperSara will explain:

    • Ionic Bond- A chemical bond between two ions with opposite charges. This basically means that two atoms with opposite charges may join together. An example of this is NaCl which is the chemical symbol (abbreviation for name) of... you guessed it.. salt! It's made up one sodium atom and one chlorine atom (sodium chloride). Here's a picture:


      Ionic Bond

    • Covalent Bond-  A chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more electrons, especially pairs of electrons, between atoms. A good example of this is when two hydrogen atoms bond. Here's a picture:

    
    Covalent Bond
    


    • Metallic Bond- The chemical bond characteristic of metals, in which mobile valence electrons are shared among atoms. An example is Brass (copper plus zinc). Here is a picture :
                                                                                           Metallic Bond 



      So, now you know the types of bonds. I hope I taught you alot today and please, if you can, watch the video. It's very informative, and verryyy long. If you could *please* watch the video below also it would mean so much to me!! I cant wait for my next blog post, I love making these things!! Okay, SuperSaraSuperBye!!!!

    Praseodymium!!! OH MY GOSH HOW DO YOU PRNOUNCE THAT?!?!?!?!?!



     SuperSara at'cha here with a funny story!!!!Okay, so like, 2 minutes ago (its 9/9/10 at 10:35) Mr. Sellers said we could have a free blog post. He also said we could write it on specific element, so I decided to be up for the challenge! Fatima and Jalen wanted to do free day, so of course fatima wanted to do animals. Mr. Sellers then thought we could all do elements, so now Jalen and Fatima are fighting about who gets einsteinium and who get californium! I chose praseodymium (pray-see-oh-dee-um),although I actually have no idea what praseodymium is. Infact, I dont even know how to spell it so I am copying and pasting as we speak! I just chose the longest element name. Lets find out what praseodymium is!!!!

    Chemical symbol:  Pr
    Atomic Number: 59
    Appearance: Soft and Silvery
    Color: Silver, duh!

      Praseodymium is a solid!!!! Its melting point 1715 °F. Its Boiling point is 6368 °F. It's Soft,silvery,and white. It is a lanthide, which means it is from the atomic numbers of 58 through 71! Here is another pic of   Praseodymium.

    Periodic Table of Awesomeness (sort of, nothing wrong with being positive)

      The Periodic table of elements is the real name... but hey! I is the queen of name changing! As you know, SuperSara is here to talk to you about...(please, no drum roll, I'm getting sick of those things!) THE PERIODIC TABLE OF (WHAT?) ELEMENTS!!! OH YEAH! ROCK ON! Ha ha ok well lets start with saying that the periodic table of elements is basically a big chart with every element known to man. Here are some Vocabulary words you should know!





    That 17? that's called the Atomic Number. This tell how many protons the element has in each nucleus.

    The Cl? That's is the Chemical Symbol for chlorine. The chemical symbol is usauly just 2 letters from the elements name.

     That 35.453? That is the Atomic Mass. This tells us how much the protons and neutrons(together in the nucleus) weigh. This is measured in Atomic Mass Units.
