Finished News Story



My story was about my sister was the only science fair contestant from her school. Her science fair project was about testing streams around Kauai for a pesticide called Atrazine used on plantations on Kauai. She first got the idea of this project when she heard Atrazine was found in school water on the west side of the island. Her story was also about the hard work she had to go through to achieve her goals. The contributors to this project were Lester Garcia Steven Villanueva, Ritikaa Kumar, and Ritikaa's science fair teacher Nicole McKamey.

The final grade of our project was a B. The rough cut grade for me was an A. It looked like I dropped by one grade, this was actually a disappointment for me since I think I deserved at least a low A for what I did. It wasn't a huge disappointment because I still was proud of my grade it wasn't too bad. I think next time I should include all the things he said I had to fix because this time he said I was missing some things.

My critique results were reasonable at the most part. Someone put that are team deserved a one but I honestly don't think that we deserved that because we either got a 3 or 4 but not a 1 or 2. We got mostly 3's so i'm happy I think we had some hard struggles, like finding a third interviewer but other than the struggles this project was rather exciting. I think me and my team did a great job and in my opinion I would put myself in second place in the class. This was a great project and i'm glad it did it.

Real World Report

The article is about scientists and astrologists finding water vapor on an exoplanet. Astrologists have found water vapor and clear skies in a exoplanet which may mean life forms can exist on other places than earth. This planet was 3 times bigger than earth. The planet is the size of Neptune and is called alien planet HAT-P-11b. This was an exciting discovery for scientists and they will keep working on uncovering the secrets of alien planet HAT-P-11b.


I think this is exciting for everyone. If there is even one organism in this planet it would be awesome. This planet looks like the best one to have any kind of life forms on it. I hope some day they could send a space shuttle to the planet to explore the planet. I personally think we should send the shuttle now for it to reach there in thousands of years. I think this is a great discovery and Astrologists should keep looking for things like these.


We should all care becaus ehis could mean so many possibilities. We could finally find new life forms, we could also make a new statement to discribe a living thing. Also if this planet is ever going to get destroyed then new habitibal planets are our last resort. This could change the theory of all llife if the life on alien planet HAT-P-11b is different from life on earth. Lastly we can all learn about new elements found in the planet that arent found on earth.
