It's all around us. Changing things and making things. We don't always think about it... but we should. It's science. This year in middle school we will be learning many things. Where I am a 7th grader, I will be learning about life science. Next year, I will be an 8th grader and will be learning physical science. But for now, I am learning about measuring. In science you always measure in meters and use the metric system.A few days ago we got to measure how far a paper and a card-stock frog would jump. We got to think about which one would jump farther and why. We received our  answers quite quickly. 
    To start, we were handed a paper titled, "Frog Legs". Next we learned about a hypothesis. A hypothesis is what you think will happen, what frog will jump farther. I thought the card-stock frog would jump farther because of how strong it is. After that, we folded two frogs, one made of paper, and the other made of card-stock. Once we were finished folding our two frogs, we were given a meter stick. We had to see how far each frog would jump then average it to get our final answer. My card-stock frog jumped farther, just like I thought it would. Once we finished hopping our frogs into the air, we answered some questions on the back of our sheet. 
    Science is a fun class! Not to many people realize we're all scientists! We are all learning and observing things!
