Police
headquarters in Queensland. Okay, skeletons don't pop out of the
road every day, ghosts
and explosions aren't always on the
second floor and devils chasing you down the street might be a little
over the top, but it's still an action packed place whenever Kirby's in
town. You can relax for the rest of this virtual tour. The rest of this
tour is packed with inside info instead of questions.
Class Project
Describing sounds in a story is really hard sometimes, especially when
the sound you need doesn't have a word to describe it. So when I need to
check the spelling of a sound (for which the word doesn't exist), I
write a heap of letters that sound like it into a Microsoft
Word document, and then I use the text-to-speach option to make the
computer read it back to me. Often I have to play with the letters until
my pc makes the right sound I need. You can do the same thing on your
blackboard, thinking up sounds and then having fun as a class trying to
spell them. The hardest sounds I've ever tried to spell so far are the
sounds for a whip cracking, an enormous yawn, and an ambulance siren...
Let me know if you crack them, okay?
Science Experiment
Go to the top level of your school and drop heavy and light objects down to your friends to see which ones arrive first... be careful! Make sure you conduct this experiment with your teacher's supervision. Try big heavy balls, small tennis balls, rubbers, and scrunched up balls of paper. Time them... You'll be amazed by your results!
