  1. Good morning, G V eight, Mr Ruli here for the
  2. morning announcements on Friday, January 29th, 2021.
  3. Alright. Kicking it off this week with the most important
  4. facts in the world.
  5. Now we're gonna get some space facts going here.
  6. Did you know that Jupiter is twice as large as
  7. all the other planets in our solar system combined?
  8. It is about 11.
  9. Earth's wide, as you can see here in the picture,
  10. Jupiter is pretty darn gigantic, isn't it?
  11. All right, next one.
  12. Here, all planets in our solar system rotate or they
  13. spin around.
  14. But Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
  15. And, of course, Uranus is the only planet that rotates
  16. on its side.
  17. Two very unique planets in our solar system and rounding
  18. it out here today I read the story and it
  19. was so interesting I had to share anyone ever played
  20. with a super Soaker squirt gun.
  21. Well, did you know that it was invented by a
  22. NASA engineer, Lonnie Johnson?
  23. After engineering complex robotics and aerospace contraptions all day long,
  24. he came home and watched water shoot through a narrow
  25. spigot out of a faucet.
  26. When he was washing his hands and he got an
  27. idea. He decided to invent something fun like a toy.
  28. It was not easy to get his toy invented.
  29. Thio find people who could purchase it, market it, produce
  30. it and, of course, sell it to the general public.
  31. And he said it wasn't just science that made this
  32. happen. It was determination and perseverance, and that was the
  33. biggest reason why he was able to complete this invention.
  34. Way to go.
  35. Lonnie Johnson, NASA engineer, inventor of the Super Soaker.
  36. All right, let's move right on next to what's happening
  37. on and around campus.
  38. One of the coolest things that we do here.
  39. The egg drop eighth grader is it completed an egg
  40. drop project to see if they could drop an egg
  41. from 1 m high and have it survived.
  42. They had to create.
  43. They had to create an apparatus to catch an egg
  44. drop from 1 m height, which already said, Sorry about
  45. that. And they may only use 10 sheets of copier
  46. paper and 1 m of masking tape.
  47. That's not a lot of supplies here.
  48. Let's look at a couple of pictures here we have
  49. ah little contraption They're made out of paper and tape
  50. there at the bottom.
  51. It will cushion the egg when it falls.
  52. Ah, this one, I thought was a really interesting design.
  53. They rolled up the paper in tubes to help cushion
  54. the fall of the egg.
  55. Now, as with everything in science or many things in
  56. science, they don't always turn out well.
  57. And sometimes the result is that the egg broke.
  58. Well, I tell you what, science is all about experimentation
  59. and discovering something so that right there is not a
  60. fail. That's a result.
  61. The result was that the egg broke and that's okay.
  62. We can learn from that, too.
  63. Alright, great job, folks.
  64. And yes, of course, is one of the students said
  65. their eggs.
  66. We thank you for your service.
  67. All right.
  68. I want to get back to some animal adaptations.
  69. These air from Mrs Valencia's class.
  70. They did a terrific job there with some writing going
  71. on here because you know how much I do love
  72. writing. So first of all, they started out with the
  73. gist of a reading passage, and the gist is how
  74. animals defend themselves using venom or poison, which can be
  75. pretty cool.
  76. And this one here, Jake wrote The section that we
  77. read in Animal Behavior by Christina Wilson was about how
  78. animals can be so poisonous they could kill you.
  79. The text describes how colors worn predators as an example.
  80. Ah, Monarch Butterfly uses it's color toe warn other animals.
  81. How toxic it iss very interesting animal adaptations.
  82. They're great writing passages, real proud of everyone there.
  83. Alright, Next folks, I just wanted Thio Just wanted to
  84. remind you all that to keep up the good work.
  85. Right? Every day that you put in work there every
  86. day that you try every day that you learned definitely
  87. does count And you're not learning for your teacher.
  88. You're not learning for your parents, your learning for yourself
  89. And every time you put forth any amount of effort
  90. Every time you read every time you write Every time
  91. you complete that math problem, you are getting smarter.
  92. You are getting stronger and you are learning.
  93. So keep it up every single day And once again
  94. every day counts.
  95. All right, that's it for me today I want to
  96. remind everyone to always be kind Have fun, do your
  97. best and read every day.
  98. Take good care, everybody
