1. Do you have any nicknames? Su is what my siblings call me.
2. What do you want to be when you grow up why? A Teacher. Because I was always the smartest person in my family.
3. Did you have a certain fighting style? I fight with a bow and arrow. That I got from Father Christmas.
4. Did you ever feel left out when your brothers got to go on adventures? A little. Mostly they would go into battles and we would go see Aslan and see what he needs us to do.
5. Who is your favorite sibling and why? My favorite sibling would probably be Lucy. She’s always had a bigger imagination than me. And she seems to have a lot more friends. Which kind of makes me jealous.
6. Who is your least favorite why? My least favorite sibling would have to be Peter. Sometimes he gets a little to bossy and likes to take charge of the situation. That can get really annoying.
7. Have you ever killed someone on journeys? I have a couple of times. I don’t really like to kill people unless they try to hurt me or my family or friends.
8. If so did you go in battles? I did go into a couple of battles. Though I don’t always think that violence is the answer unlike my two brothers.
9. Did you ever feel bad when you shot someone? If I knew them maybe. But I try not to think about it.
10. Did you have any enemies? Only the people that are enemies of the country I rule.

For my science project at Pioneer Ridge Middle school I decided to learn if crystals would grow better in the light or the dark. To do this project you will need to go buy a Space Age Crystal Growing Kit first. Then you need two half liter soda bottles, something to cover the containers with, two rocks about 4 inches in diameter.  After that, boil 12.5 oz. of H2O and pour it equally between the two containers. Remember, if you mess up the measurements the experiment won’t work. Then you add ¾ of a cup of the crystal seeds among the two containers. Then you stir until the chemical is completely dissolved. Next, you add the rock. Then you cover container with plastic wrap. Then, you put one container in a dark place and the other one in a lighted location.

The next day add the rest of the mix equally between the two bottles. After about 6-9 days you can remove the crystals. To do that you use rubbers gloves and carefully take them out. Then set them on absorbent paper. Then you measure.

My Conclusion

For my conclusion, the crystal cluster in the light grew better than the one in the dark.

Heights

Light: 1 ½ cm

Dark: 1 cm

If I could change the experiment I would try different crystals instead of Aquamarine. So maybe each crystal kind of crystal effects its growth.

This is a story of the tenth child that the Dragon King had which is supposed to be me.

When the Dragon King returned home, one of his guards told him he had heard a rumor.  The guard said that the villagers are tired of seeing things busted in pieces. Because his daughter Claudia likes pretend to be some character from a movie or something. The Dragon King transformed into his servant disguise and went to Gardner to see what the problem was. When he arrived, he heard shouts and glass breaking. He knocked on the door and Claudia stepped out holding a remote in her hand. Before getting mad, he thought. His daughter could become an actor that would watch a lot of movies during her free time. He told his daughter what he thought and she agreed with the idea. And till this day, Claudia can be seen working as either an actor or staying home and watching movies all day long.
