Sojourn!

Hello everybody!! How have you been? As you can guess, we've been busy here with Baby Jacob. He is sooooooooo cute and getting bigger and stronger every day. If you don't know, I've been guest blogging a bit at Bikbik & Roro -- go check it out!

Today I thought I would quickly share with you a little movie my Mom made! My grandma came over one day and helped look after Jakey, so Mommy quickly took advantage of that free time to do it! She says she is feeling quite "art-deprived", meaning she hasn't been able to do any art or crafting at all. She always has lots of creative ideas in her head, but usually not much time to work on them. So she was happy to be able to try this stop motion experiment when she had the chance! She had to rush though and says it was harder than she expected, but I still like it! "Sojourn" means to stay somewhere temporarily. This is a song Jacob listens to sometimes, hope you enjoy it too! Have a super lovely weekend!!

Waves in a Bottle!

Hello everybody!! How have you been? Are you ready to go back to school? I'm looking forward to seeing Nicholle and Maisy! We had so much fun together during the holidays! Yay for good friends you can count on!!

Just yesterday, I got a bit creative and made this little experiment in a bottle! I like to shake it around, or flip it over and shake like crazy. Then the whole bottle turns blue, with a million teeny little yellow bubbles of oil floating around. After a while, the blueness settles down and I will roll it around on a table to make extremely mad waves. Then before the waves die down, I'll quickly stand it upright, so that the bubbles fly everywhere, like seagulls! After all the flipping, rolling and shaking, I do it all over again!

When I get tired of all the crazy shaking, I watch all the bubbles float down, piling on top of each other at the bottom to make a seabed. It's quite fascinating actually. Sometimes I decide that maybe all the insane flipping might cause the bottle to slip from my hands, and CRACK! So, maybe doing all that stuff is kinda dangerous haha...

Hey, do you know what the "twilight zone" is? It is the middle layer of the world's oceans, that part of the pelagic zone that goes down from 200 to 1000 metres below the ocean surface (the pelagic zone is any water in a sea or lake that is neither close to the bottom nor near the shore). According to Wiki, some light penetrates this deep, but it is insufficient for photosynthesis. Animals such as swordfish, squid, wolf eels, cuttlefish, and other semi-deep sea creatures live here. They are adapted to life in near darkness, cold water and high pressure. Also, there is enough sunlight for animals, such as the chain catshark, to be fluorescent! Here's my little twilight zone in a bottle! I hope you enjoy watching!

Bye and thanks for visiting! Remember to visit me at Bikbik and Roro, where I have been guest blogging for the last week!
 

Shelly and Me make a Movie!

Hi everyone! Good to see you all! How are all of you?

A few months back, I bought a cute little green solar-powered tortoise at my school's science fair. His name is Shelly Tortoise! Shelly can walk, shake his head and wiggle his tail when he is put under sunlight. Here is a little filmlet made by the one and only ME! Hope you like it!

Did you like it? Now it's time for:

Question Corner!

1. The sun gives off more energy in ___ second than people have used since the beginning of time.
2. Name some things that we can use solar energy to power.
3. Solar electric panels are made out of ___.
4. Name some things that we can use electricity to power.
5. Solar energy is a ___ energy source and is ___!

Once you have figured out the answer to any one of these questions, please leave a comment along with your answer! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my little movie about Shelly T! Come visit me at Bikbik & Roro, where I will soon be guest-blogging! Bye and see you again soon!  

Goodbye

Hello. I am very sad. Scriggle and Shake have passed away. That's why I made this little movie for them, to always remember them. I would like to thank the Sylvanians for caring so much and being part of this. Please pray for them, though I am sure they are fine somewhere in Heaven. I think that Wiggle must be very lonely now, but I think he is adjusting. Bye bye Scriggle and Shake.

Here's Wiggle. I hope he is fine. He is eating dried apples and wholewheat bread. By himself. 

My Little Friends!

Hello there! These are my mealworms Wiggle, Scriggle and Shake! I adopted them from school, where they had been part of a Science class. I am now keeping them in a container with lots of holes for air, and feeding them dried oats and mushy apples. Here is a little movie of my mealworms made by my Mom -- please enjoy!

And here are some pictures!

 

Here is a picture of my worms in their container home.

 

Here they are enjoying their oatmeal!

 

This is Scriggle! He is luxuriating in his food.

 

And here's Wiggle and Shake playing together.  See you again soon!

The Octopus Family

Hello again! Today, I'm going to show you two little movies of our favourite octopi, made by the one and only Bikbik & Roro! Above you see a video of Tweedy, and below you see Tweedy's good friend, Inky. 

This is the first little film my Mom ever made. She did it with one hand haha. Do you know that you can adopt these octopi? Well, Inky is already sold, but Tweedy is still looking for a loving home. You can find him here. OK! See you again soon! 

My Sylvanian Movie!

My Mom made this movie for me! She was experimenting with stop motion animation for the past few days, and this is her second experiment. Isn't it cute!! And you can learn stuff too. I hope you enjoy it, see you soon!
