👩🏻‍🔬Chien Shiung Wu

Today, I'm going to talk about Chien Shiung Wu who I learned in science. Chien Shiung Wu was born on May 31, 1912 in Jiangsu, China. She was a Chinese- American nuclear physicist. She worked on the Manhattan Project. Lots of people called her " the First Lady of Physics", " the Chinese Madame Curie", and "Queen of Nuclear Research". She got many prizes during her career. She got the Comstock Prize in Physics in 1964, the Bonner Prize in 1975, the National Medal of Science in 1975, and the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978. She was famous for conducting the Wu experiment. Her colleagues, Tsung Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang, won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1957. Many people think that it was not fair that she conducted the Wu experiment, but her colleagues got the prize. She was a very strong and powerful woman. This is all the information I know about her.

🚌👜Middle School Trip🕶👒

During the middle school trip we went to New Frontiers. We did three activities. First, we went to archery tag, and because I was afraid to get out, I hid behind the tree. After all my teammates got out, I had to go against four people by myself, but we lost, at last. The second activity was the large swing. I didn't do it because I'm afraid of weightlessness. The third activity was AP. I didn't do it either, because I'm afraid of heights. The AP was about 80 feet high. My friend Jenny went on it and couldn't get down because she had to jump 80 feet high above the ground to get down, so she cried 10 minutes and jumped down. After she got down, she lay on the ground for 1 minute before she came out of her fear. At night, we played more games with a guy who took us to play. It was very fun that I could sleep with my friends in one big room with three triple twin bunk beds. The food was pretty good over there, and I liked the place, too. I had a very great time at New ...

Pronouns Essay

I went to Netherland with my family during the spring break. I was really happy to spent the trip with them. We went to the secret annex in Amsterdam. They didn't know who was Anne Frank except me. She was a girl who wanted to hide with her family during World War II. You couldn't believe what happened when we got there. We asked a man to buy the tickets, and he said it to us that all the tickets were sold out, and it made me very sad. Then, we went to the Van Gogh Museum. His paintings was amazing. My brother really likes art, and knows a lot about it. He introduced some famous paintings to us, and we just followed him. We saw the painting "Sunflowers" in the museum. Its color are beautiful.Your eyes will be attract to this paining when you see it. Their museum protect all the paintings very well, we can't even take a picture! Although, I didn't see the secret annex, our trip was wonderful!

🎅🏻Christmas Break!!!🎄🎁

During this Christmas break, I went to Mexico and Guatemala. The first day in Mexico, I went to San Luis Potosi, the place where my father works. I saw a lot of cute cactus and ate some Mexican food. After a couple days, I went to other cities with my family. I went to Uxmal for two days, and saw lots of  pyramids and temples. I learned a lot of stories from a long time ago, and realized that Mayan were really good at math. They loved the number 7 and 9. Then, I went to Guatemala on the next day. I went to a place that is similar to Uxmal, called Tikal. There are 7 temples in Tikal, and it’s really cool! I only went to Guatemala for one day, so Tikal was the only place I went. When I got back to Mexico, I went to an amazing museum in Mexico City. I learned the Mexican culture and saw the  tradition clothing they used to wear. After that day, I went back to America on the last day of 2017. I saw the time on my phone from 11:59pm-12:00am on the plane. I almost screamed, because ...
