Oceanography

As I walked around, the first exhibit I attended was building an earthquake resistance house. I built my house in the form or a triangle at the base and connected it to a center. It almost looked like a triangle in 3-d. I tested my house however I didn’t consider if it was tilted over what might have happened so it did collapse. Make you own earthquake was another exhibit that was interesting. This exhibit consisted of a large tree trunk with a hammer. There was a reader on the top to show how hard the tree trunk was struck.

The salt-water contest consisted of five cups of different salt consumption. The salt consumption varied from 0% to 60%. The easiest task was to determine the regular spring water. However the last four were very hard to determine because they almost taste the same. The next two I had to taste was a 5% and a 10% cup of salt diluted in water. These two were extremely hard to distinguish however, I tasted one after another and I was able to distinguish that one solution had a higher concentration of salt then the other. The last two contained 50% and 605 salts, these last two were extremely salty and I used my approach from before and I was able to identify all of the specimens.

I also attended a lecture about the devastating Tsunami and the hurricane that swept New Orleans. I was amazed to see that so many people died in the Tsunami from just be a spectator at the waterfront. It was sad to see so many people get wiped out in a matter of seconds. Also, I learned that the hurricane in New Orleans didn’t actually cause
