Science Dome



On Wednesday, Feb 25, we had a great opportunity when the Science Dome came to our school. Every classroom viewed a different program. Sixth graders viewed "Lucy's Cradle". It took us on a journey on how life began and the Earth took its shape and form. You can see a preview of the Dome here Science Dome

Mr.Howard, there is a new element!!!!!!!!!!: A new element is discovered!?

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest
element yet known to science.

The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has 1 neutron, 25
assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy
neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles
are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded
by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since
Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be
detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes
into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would
normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years
to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in
which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons
exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually
increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more
morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic
of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that
Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical
concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as
critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium,
an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium
since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Mr.Howard, We know where you live, we would tell you, but other people would find out too.

Sincerely,
Lillian and Jillian!
