Projects
Compost
My project was to do a time-lapse of how long it takes different things to compost. I made piles of different things like apple peels, egg shells, potato peels, and some others and put them separately in the compost pile and then took a picture every day to see how fast they were decomposing. Then I put all the pictures together so they showed for one second, and you can see the piles get all moldy and rotten.

Haikus on Weather
My project is to help my classmates each create a haiku about weather. We will be looking at different haikus. We will be looking at cyclones, tornadoes, storms, clouds, and fires. The class will find a picture off the Internet, print it, and write a haiku on the picture they picked.

How to be a National Geographics Photographer
I made this website for kids like me who really want to be a photographer for National Geographic. I tried to email a real photographer but I could not find any addresses. My cousin is in college and studying photography so I emailed her and wrote what she said about the classes to take and where to practice taking awesome pictures. And the website has some of my favorite pictures from the National Geographic website.
