p- I predict that a 5th grader makes something that is impossable.

Dustin

I think mine was 70% write I don't know

P- I think its about a Microwscope problem.

Paige

P- I predict that the fifth grader's discovery will help scientists.

Hannah

P- I think that the 5th grader makes something that we can use and that help people.

Hope

P- I think that a 5th grader will discover something that has never been discovered before.

"While excited about the potential of the molecule, Clara is more thrilled by the fact that she and her science teacher have been listed as co-authors in the research paper Professor Zoeliner had submitted to the scientific community for consideration. For how often does a 10-year old get a name in a science paper? Pretty cool" wow- that is a very very very smart girl!

P i think that the girl is a good student and gets to do a scince prodject and it get on the best in the world.

Comment to Zoe- you spelt prson wrong it's person

"When 10-year old Clara Lazan was assigned a classroom science project, neither she nor her teacher Kenneth Boehr, would have guessed that her random creation would be hailed as a scientific discovery, worthy enough to be published in a scientific journal." Comment- My perdiction was wrong!

I think that it was crazy a fifth grader made the disccovery.

Abbie

I think that the fifth grade girl will descover something awsome!

Aaryn

That is so cool that it gets published in a scientific journal. Even know i do not know what a scientific journal is?

Carver

P- I predict that a person is going to discover something.

Dalton

p-I predict that the 5th grader will discover something impossable in the project.

p- it will be about a girl who discovers somthing

Paige

2/27/2012 12:15:00 am

!-Wow,the scientist hasn't seen it before.

Hannah

2/27/2012 12:15:31 am

Th- That Clara will make a crazy project.

Ciarra

2/27/2012 12:16:08 am

P-that the 5th grader will be happy because of her assiment!

Paige

2/27/2012 12:17:29 am

The scientist found 1 thing that was close to the formula she used.

Zoe

2/27/2012 12:18:34 am

I was right about the girl.

Aaryn

2/27/2012 12:18:38 am

What is that thing she made?

Paige

2/27/2012 12:19:16 am

I think it is cool that the girl made the discovery.

Hannah

2/27/2012 12:19:22 am

!- That it has only been done one time in 1904.

Ciarra

2/27/2012 12:19:37 am

That must one very good science project to be able to be on the news.

Abbie

2/27/2012 12:19:40 am

I wish I could do that it was awsome.

Dustin

2/27/2012 12:20:20 am

"Tetranitratoxycarbon" Mrs.Swaim what that word mean?

tyler

2/27/2012 12:20:38 am

!-that is crazy

Hannah

2/27/2012 12:21:02 am

Q- Why has this not been done in such a long time?

Paige

2/27/2012 12:21:15 am

Q- How does she know the scientist?

Carver

2/27/2012 12:21:38 am

C- Her teacher or her knew shhe would make a scientific discovery!

Zoe

I wonder if Norma is going to school around "Border Star Montessori School in Kansas"?

Aaryn

2/27/2012 12:22:16 am

I think that it is funny that she did I t and her and her teacher were not even exspecting this to happen and I bet her mom and dad were not ether.

Zoe

2/27/2012 12:22:52 am

How do you prnonce Zoeliner?

Abbie

2/27/2012 12:23:00 am

She was only doing a science project and she didn't know she was going to discover something.

Hannah

2/27/2012 12:23:19 am

!- That is was cool that she got her name in the science paper.

Dustin

" large explosions" i do not want to be near them because i don't want to blow up!!!

Carver

2/27/2012 12:24:33 am

C- I am not surprized that her teacher has never seen that combination before.

Abbie

2/27/2012 12:24:36 am

If I was that girl I would be proud of my slef.

Zoe

"While this accidental molecule, which has been called Tetranitratoxycarbon does not occur in nature, it could potentially be synthesized in a laboratory. In fact, since it contains the same atoms as nitroglycerin, the active ingredient in dynamite and rocket propellants, Professor Zoeliner believes it could be a new way to store energy or, create large explosions!"I can not belive that it does not occer in nature.

tyler

imaginations aRE COOL

Aaryn

2/27/2012 12:26:00 am

I wonder if was tinking about t his before it happened? I wonder how long it took her to make this thing because it takes my brother 2 to3 weeks to get his projects done and he is in high school?

Hannah

2/27/2012 12:26:03 am

!- Wow, it can be a way to store energy and it can create large explosions.

Carver

2/27/2012 12:26:14 am

C- Even a professer has not seen it!
