Adam- Running in the cold is going to be harder because it is harder because you will get slower as you run because you re not use to running in cold weather. Most people do better running in the cold because it is cold and you are hot so it makes it better.
E-Experiment
Materials-
1. Stopwatch
2. Test runner (Quinn)
3. Place to run (track and gym)
4. Shoes
5. Shorts
6. Sweatshirt
7. Permission slip
8. People to track time (Redmon and Adam)
9. Tape Measure
Procedures-
Our first step of the experiment was for the test subject to run the hundred yard dash outside on the track. The weather/temperature of the time we ran outside was 39 degrees F, it was raining, and there was 14 mph winds. Then we have to measure the distance in the gym of 100 m. Once we measured the distance of 100 m inside the gym, we had the test subject run the distance. We timed all the tests and repeated each of the runs a second time. We then recorded the results in excel and created a graph to show our results (the graph in the observations section).
Variables-
Constant Variables- Things that runner is wearing/ Weather when you do second test in same place/distance the runner is running/where the runner is running when they do the run in same place/
Independent Variables- speed runner is running/speed wind is
Dependent Variables- the runners time
Control- we are comparing the first test to the second test, seeing which one was ran faster/ we compared the two places the runner ran to the average
O-Observation
Our observation was that running outside took less time by about two seconds. The traction outside was awful because we were not expecting rain and high winds on the day of our experiment. Cramping was not a problem for our test subject as he ran perfectly fine all four times. Our predictions were, for the most part, typically correct. The test subject ran faster by a little inside the gym than when he ran outside on the track, as our graph shows. The weather probably had a great factor on if our test subject could run faster/slower. When the thermometer reads 39 degrees and the winds are all the way up to 14 mph,then there is a chance that the weather definitely effects the runner.
Adam- The colder weather might be harder to run in because you get cold then your body is cold and slows down and when you are in the warm it is easier to run because your body is use to the temp. and helps you run. I think the rain made it harder to run because you can slip and it makes it colder

How Basketball Has Chaged Over Time
Authors Note:I’m writing this piece to learn more about how basketball started and how it is. I would like to have more information in my writing piece because I have not put allot of information in my writing pieces.
Basketball Has been a sport for a long time and is close to being the best sport in history. I Will most likely be the most popular in a few years. It is a interesting way how it started and how it was played back then. Basketball has changed in many ways over the past 100 years.
Out of all the sports made basketball is the most interesting sport on how it was made. It was made in the winter of 1891by James Naismith. James was a physical ed teacher at the YMCA. He made this game because his students were bored and had nothing to do outside because it was to cold out to play baseball or kick a soccer ball around. They were playing soccer, football and lacrosse inside but they were breaking windows and other things. So Dr.Luther Gulick told James to invent a game to play for the kids. James though and though and came up with 13 rules and he said his game would be played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets and you can’t move with the ball you had to pass it. The point of the game was too pass or shoot the ball and the team with the most points was declared the winner. All of James Students were happy there was a new game in the class but the first time they played it one way played it right. The first game played was a score of 1-0. A boy named William Chase scored the first basket with a toss from 25 feet away. One of the kid in James class played the game to some people in his hometown and they all liked it.
They played it many more times in his city to. basketball has changed a lot over time like the rules and were you play it. Back then you would play basketball in a barn now you play it in a gym. Then have all the rules the same mostly but they added a lot. Now you can dribble and a lot more. I think the most difference is dribbling because you can move with the ball because if you can not move with it how are you going to get down court easy. now there are also fouls if you do something you aren’t suppose to do if it can injure someone badly. Basketball I think has changed the most out of all the sports in history because of what you do, use and wear.
Most of the things have changed even though there are a lot of more changes. Some of the rules there are a lot of good rules and there are some okay rules and there are some very bad rules. Most rules in my opinion are good but there are some that are questionable. Most of the rules are made to keep the game same most of the time. If the games isn’t played safe its not good because people play basketball aggressive and get out of hand some times. Most of the game
is based off the rules and play how a team plays. If you have 5 fouls in a game you can not play the rest of the game.
Basketball has changed a lot because it has improved in how it is played. Basketball has changed because they needed money and now basketball really can’t be called a sport because now it is like a business because its all about the money and entertainment for the people and the more popular it is the more money it makes.

Day In A Life Of
Authors Note: I wrote this piece because I wanted to learn more about kids days and what they do. I want to have a better conclusion then last writing piece.
Most countries are different in many ways but school is the biggest differences because some countries have school or don’t have school. Than countries that have school might do different things or go to school longer. There are many differences in the countries with school.
I think most schools have a long day at school. An average school day is 6.7 hours a day but some schools go longer than that. China has a longer day of school than us there school day is from 7:30 to 5 O’clock. And are school is from 7:30 to 2:45. So are school is way sorter than theirs. In China they're given uniforms but are not required to wear them. Here if you are given a uniform you have to wear them.
There school starts early and ends late. I wonder what they do after school?? Most of the kids there do 12 hours of working a day. Most of the people there work and most of the stuff they make comes here to sell. They get mountains of homework each day!!!!! So they do allot of homework every day.
As you can tell are schools are very different to many other countries like China. They do way lease work than we do so their school is way harder then our schools. I think it would be really bad if a kid from here went there for school.

Screaming Conclusion
Authors Note: I am writing this because everyone wants to no What happens on their test and how they change in different.
Problem:
Were are trying to see if your heart rate goes up when you are scared and if they don't get scared when they are going to get scared.
Hypothesis:
I think that the temperature will go up when they are scared because they didn't know it was coming. I think their heart rate will go down when they are moving because nothing is happen to them because they aren't think something is going to happen.
Conclusion:
If it goes up or not most of are resolute were different because they were different people and different sound effects. I noticed that most peoples heart rate went down when they were scared then when they weren't scared. I think that is because they were scared because they did not know what was going to happen so they were scared but you would of thought that they were going to be more scared when it happened to them. But hat did not happen. So what happened to Our scientific process project.

Defense Mechanisms
Author's Note: The purpose of writing this story is because i wanted to learn more about animals and how they live and what they do. I am focusing on word choice the most because I have not used it enough and I need to have a better vocabulary.
There are many types of animals and they are put into groups groups and the 2 main groups I think are predators and prey. But then some times I like to find the weirdest animals on earth and see were they live and what they do.
The predators are always the animals that act like they own the earth and attack the animals that come near them because they think it is there land. Some of the animals are cougars, jaguars, electric eels, wolves, leopards, and tigers. As you can tell by the animals most predators are quick. They have to be so they can get to there prey fast and without a struggle because if your a predator you eat other animals.
The prey has to watch out for the predators because any second they could be attacked so they have to watch out!! Most prey is slow unlike the predators. So animals called prey are bison, zebra, deer, bushbuck, buffalo, and blesbuck. and the fastest one is a deer and they are not fast. So they have to hide if they don’t want to be caught beacause if they get caught they get eaten!!
So some animals think they own the earth and there the animals that get hurt if they go by those animals. So are prey and predators the most important groups of animals and any type of animals can be in either of the groups.

Demon Hall
Author's Note: The reason I wrote this is because I needed to write a piece on a book I'm reading. I am focusing on my conclusions the most because I need to work on it the most.
The best way to write a book is by winning a contest but that is not how most books are made. But that is how Andrew Nance wrote Demon Hall. He had to finish the book after the contest so it was better and could sell more. Starting a book by winning a contest is the most unique means to gather ideas for a topic.
The way he wrote the book is by entering a book contest and won the contest so decided to finish the book because he thought he could sell a lot. Which he did!! Now his book has sold a lot for him and has got him a lot of money. will he ever ever that contest again? I think he won't but he might be a judge in it.
I think that he could make a series out of that book and make even more money and he could make more series and keep making books. If he made more books they would sell a lot forever.
So will he make more books and enter the contest again. I think he will write more books and will make a series but not by contests. i think he could be a good author in the future.

Years Past
Author's Note: I wrote this piece because I like baseball and the Brewers. I had to work on a few things with my writing so I wrote on a topic that I know the best and so it will help me a little if I know the topic better than a topic I would have to look up.
The Brewers have had many different teams in the past years. The best teams have been the 1982 team and the 2011 team. Because of the Brewers having differences in their teams, this year team I think is better the 1982 team.
The Brewers 1982 team was every good and made it to the World Series because of their strong hitting and pitching. The Brewers made it to the World Series because they were good at everything and they worked hard and had a good record. There star players help the team a lot and they were Robin Yount and Gorman Thomas. Their managers Buck Rodgers and Harvey Kuenn and they had to be good if they made it to the World Series.
Now in 2011 the Brewers have been trying their hardest to make it to the World Series and they have been able to do that because they have been strong for everything through the season. There star players have been doing a lot for the team and there are players that have been playing. The Brewers have had many injuries this year and the big ones were Rickie Weeks, Carlos Gomez, and Ryan Braun. The Brewers are so good because they try hard and win many games. If they didn’t do that they would be bad and be the worst team in the MLB.
I think the Brewers will get stronger and stronger as years past and will get allot better. I think Ron Roenicke will still be their manager because he is a good manager and wins a lot of games. Ryan Braun will still be on the team and I think they will get some good pitchers, hitters, and fielders. I think the Brewers will win the World Series a few times and will do very good.
So even if the Brewers have different teams they can still be good and win games. If the Brewers never make it to the playoffs again it won’t be good because they won’t have a chance to win the World Series.
The Brewers have had many different teams in the past years. The best teams have been the 1982 team and the 2011 team. Because of the Brewers having differences in their teams, this year team I think is better the 1982 team.

My Weekend Of 10/7-10/9
My weekend was so fun. I did many things. I watched the Brewer's game, played soccer and went to a birthday party. It was so fun and tiring so I was very tired.
My weekend began by watching the Brewer's game. It was both scary and cool. It was scary, because they weren't playing well in the beginning of the game but they got better and won because of Nyger Morgan. He had a base hit and Carlos Gomez ran home and scored. It was a game winning hit for the Brewers. It was so cool because it was the first time in many year that the Brewers made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs.
The 2nd thing I did was play our soccer game. We won our game and we won 4-3 to Lake Country United and now we are 3-2 for soccer.
After our game I went to my friends Nick's Birthday party at Blue Harbor in Sheboygan. We played football and we swam and played tag and that was about it.
If I didn't do that this weekend my weekend would have been so boring. Now I wonder what next weekend will be like. Will it be fun or boring? If it is boring that won't matter because I had so much fun this weekend.
