DIY:How to Make Ferro Fluid By Gabe Sweeney

    Have you ever heard of Ferro fluid? If you haven't, Ferro fluid is a scale of magnectic particles. That means it's a magnectic liquid. Now, I'll teach you how to make it. Have an adult help you.

     Materials: laser black toner (you can find laser black toner at your local printer store), vegetable oil, a measuring cup, a smaller cup, and some rare earth magnets ( neodyniam magnets should work and you can get these at a hardware store). You might also want to use a whisk to stir.

    First, pour about 50 milliliters of the toner in to the measuring cup. Then, pour some of the vegetable oil in, the more toner you use, the more laser black oil you should pour in, about 45 milliliters should work. Next, stir the toner and oil together. Make sure you get it to be a little bit thick, but thin like water. Once you have finished stirring, pour the Ferro fluid into the smaller cup. Now, you are ready to have some fun!

    Once you have the Ferro fluid into the smaller cup, take your rare earth magnets and put them on the cup. You should see tiny spikes coming from where you put the magnet. Because the Ferro fluid is magnetic, you can see where the magnet is strongest by seeing where the spikes are tallest. For safety reasons, DO NOT get this on your hands, shirt, or table. You are now ready to play!

                                            

Terrific Tessellations! By Michael M.

Tessellations are a very fun thing to try. A tessellation is an artistic design that can fit different designs of paper on top of each other, beside each other, and below each other. All you need is a small piece of square paper (2½ inches) and a big sheet of paper (rectangle paper). First, you take the smaller piece of paper and cut any design in the bottom of the paper. Do NOT cut off the corners! After you finish with that, tape the design you just cut on the opposite side you cut it from. Then, cut a new design on one of the sides that is clear. Remember do NOT cut off any of the corners! Tape that to the other side. Now put the small piece of paper on the bigger one. Trace it with a pencil. Then you take the smaller piece of paper and put it next to the trace you just made and trace it. You do this until the whole paper is filled. Then color! This is how you can make a terrific tessellation!

How To Draw A Ninja! By Killian

 

 Have you ever heard of a ninja? A ninja is an awesome Japanese warrior. Now you can learn how to draw one.

1. If you want to learn how to draw a ninja, you will need a piece of paper and a pencil. First you need to draw the body. To draw the body, you will need to draw a medium sized oval facing up.

2.   To draw the head, you need to draw a circle on top of the oval. Next, you will need to draw two parallel lines facing sideways, like an equals sign. next you will need to draw two little circles in between the parallel lines. In the two circles, you will need to draw one dot in each little circle.

3.   Now to draw the arms, you need to draw a small rectangle on the left of the body, and the right of the body. Then you draw two little circles. One on the first rectangle and one on the other one. Now to draw a sword, you will need to draw a little rectangle under one of the hands. That will be the handle of the sword. To draw the blade, you will need need to draw one line above the handle, then one small slanted line to the right of that line. Right below the end of that little line, you need to draw a line going down, until you get to the other side of the handle. That is how you draw the sword.

 4.   Now the final step is to draw the legs. To draw the legs, you will need to draw two rectangles below the oval. They will need to be spaced a part. For feet, you will need to draw two half ovals, one under each rectangle.

 5.    Now, you are finished. You could add extra detail, like a backround or something else. But if you don't want to, you would be finished.
