What I learned from my Anciet Science "project"

For my ancient science project, I did the civilization of Egypt even though I am from Israel. Since I spent most of my life there working as a slave, it was an appropriate choice. My subject was math, specifically the counting and measuring systems. I learned that there are symbols for each number. For instance, instead of writing "1000" one would write a symbol of a flower. Then when writing 100,000, one could draw a tadpole and the Egyptians would understand. I also learned about how the measuring system was adjusted to the pharaohs body. A cubit, for example, would be the distance from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow. After realizing how inefficient the system was because everyone's body is different, the Egyptians made standard measuring lengths.

UCLA!!!

I have always been fascinated by college. Living away from home, staying up late, then I realized it's still school!!! I was pleased to know that there are so many majors. I have always been worried My career wouldn't fit into one!! After Detective Trejo came in I got a idea. That idea was to become a detective or FBI agent! I think it would be a fun job to have. I found a major that would fit even though it's not at UCLA and that is Criminology!

        Today in Science Lab, we learned about how much we come in contact with petroleum products and plastic. We had a worksheet in which we circled every petroleum product in a kitchen. In the end the whole kitchen was circled! From this I learned, before someone even gets to the bus stop, they have already come in contact with hundreds of plastics or petroleum products!! At first, I thought "whats the big deal about plastics and petroleum products?" Well the deal is they can actually harm us. After this lab, I am trying to cut down on plastic and petroleum products!
