A special Mice Family

Weeks ago, in the university of Texas little baby mice came to life. But those mouse didn't have a family similar to other mouse families, they had 2 dads. Normally that would be biologically impossible, males don't have ovules. So how did does little mice come to life? The answer is that they created  a female clone of one of the two male mice, this clone being now a female was able to have ovule that have the original male mouse' DNA. Then they made the other male mouse reproduce with the clone female mouse and...... TADA many healthy and cute little mice were born!!!!  But how is that useful you might ask? There are so many endangered species that disapeared under the eyes of scientist that where enable to make them reproduce since they didn't have any partner from the gender!!!

Cannabis, Not Good for you!

Some scientists have just discovered that Cannabis, when smoked by people younger then 20, is great for your IQ!They have followed a few people from Newzealend from the age of 13 till they were 39. Those studies show that the ones that started when they were teenagers and continued have lost a lot of their intellect, and those who smoked the most lost 8 IQ points!!!!But the ones that only started after 25, never lost any of their intellect. Why? That is where we come to our point, during our young years (until 25) our brain still is growing, it eliminates the unuseful neurons to make itself quicker  and more useful. But Cannabis blocks that last step and makes any person that ever smoked it as a teenager never be able to improve their IQ! Now we know the choice is: Be smart or be addicted?

The Bacteria Painter

How would you feel about buying a painting that was created using bacterias that normally live in your stomach?

Zacharie Copfer, an ex microbiologist, now found a way to use his knowledge into his new hobby, Art! He invented the bachteriography, the principle is to print the pictures on a Cullin box. Then he covers it with a substance full of nutriments and some bacterias called Serratia Marcescens, then covers it with the picture he wants printed and sprays it with toxic radiations. The microbes in the clear parts of the picture die because of the radiations on the countrary the ones in the darker parts survive and turn out red. After 2 days it is finished. But if he just let it like that the bacterias would spread out all around the picture. So zacharie sprays them with a radiation that kills them and adds a special gell that freezes them forever.

Zach also makes pictures using the fluorescent microbe on jellyfishes and creates your portrait using the microbes on your face. here is his link: http://sciencetothepowerofart.com/

Todays Reaction

Reaction1:
Glue+ water +Boron+ Bicarbonate= GAK
We first mixed the water with the Bicarbonate adding 2 spoons the we put some glue in a glass and added the same volume of the water mixture into it. Finally we mixed it all together for about 5 minutes.  Finally the mixture changed from a liquid to a gooy solid

 

 

Reaction 2
Cu (ion) + SO (ions))  Zn (s)----------      Cu(s) + Zn (ions) + So (Ions)
We mixed the Copper sulfate into water then added a bit of Zynch solid into it.The Zynch change its color from gray to colorless, the copper went dark brown and the Sod became colorless. So there was a change in Color and some bubbles appearedx fcxf

The man who wasn't scared of heights

Felix Baumgartner is the first man on earth whom threw himself as high as 39 km from earth.  Last sunday he threw himself from a capsule that was positioned between the atmosphere and space. He even past the sound wall as he clearly stated that he felt the air getting thicker at the moment he past it.  As Neil Amostrongs famous words were " One small step for man, one hug leap for human kind", Felix Baumgartner's words before jumpings were "I'm going home now". After those last words in the capsule he made a freighting descent towards earth spinning over and over again at 833 miles per hour,  it is only after 4 minutes and 20 seconds that he landed, on his feet, on earth.
Felix nobely says that he didn't only do it for the records but also for science and that now he would love to be a mentor and inspire the next generations.

Here is a good video of him falling

Experiment: Peices of Paper with different highlighter dots on it are deeped in water

Which is More Polar?

The Jellow Highlighter was much more polar then the blue Highlighter that has climbed up much higher on the paper after being put in water.
