Dear Parents,
Today we went to the wonderful island of Maui! Just kidding, however we did have an interesting week. First we just finished planting our experiment. So we have created different experiments with plants like, watering them with orange juice, soda, milk, sugar water, and salt water. We have also changed the soil and planted the seeds in flour, horse manure, soap and sand. It will be interesting to see what happens. Also we set up a photo point. To set up a photo point we had to learn how to use a GPS, compass, measuring tape, and camera. After taking the pictures we downloaded them and went on Google Earth. We used the coordinates to place the pictures exactly were they belong on a map. It is called Geo Tagging. Finally we had a visitor from Washington DC. He is from a mapping software company called ESRI. It is a huge company in California. His name is Charles Fitzpatrick and if you Google search him you will find him mentioned in magazines like the National Geographic. In conclusion even though we never took and airplane to Maui we still had a very busy week.
Sincerely,
Your Third Grader
