My name is Rachel Sandbrook. I am
10 years old. I live in New Zealand on the North Island in a small town
called Tokoroa with my mother (Camelia Sandbrook), my father (James Sandbrook),
my 11 year old sister Tracy Sandbrook, and my 3 year old sister Grace Sandbrook
and my dog Duke. One of my hobbies is programming with Turbo Pascal 7.0, I like programming because I get to make programs that work the way I want them to, not just the way someone else makes them. Tracy likes using Delphi 1 to program. We all like playing Grand Prix 2 on our computers and we enjoy the fun of the race. Grand Prix 2 is a great game that can be changed for the enjoyment of good old fashion racing. I am Home Schooled and I like this way of learning.

This is how you can make your own volcano.
Take a small vial (about 1/2 a cup size) and put in about
1 tablespoon of baking soda. Then fill it with vinegar.
You can mix the vinegar with red food coloring so it
looks more real. Watch it bubble up and foam. Make sure you
put newspaper under it because it makes a mess.

Take 2 balls and drop both balls from the same height.
Which ball hits the ground first?
They both should hit the
ground at the same time.
Then take 2 balls that weigh different.
Drop both these balls at the same time, from the same height.
Which ball hits the ground first?
You might be surprised by
the answer.
Try this experiment with a golf ball and an egg (outside the
