On March 28 Charlie, Nicole, Joey, and I built this roller coaster for science. We used foam pipe insulation, tape, a marble, and cardboard tubes. We ran out of momentum at the end so we used a curve and some bumps to finish it off.

The Revolutionary War….. Why?
I think that the two most important acts are the first meeting of the Continental Congress and the battle of Lexington and Concord. Because the kings reaction was to try to capture the Sons of Liberty and the Colonial weapons, but they were met by Minutemen and returned empty handed and they lost a lot of British soldiers on the way. So that probably made the people start a war the Colonys wanted freedom and the king was mad, and thats how I think it started
Boston Massacre
I think the Boston Massacre is Britians fault because we just threw snowballs and Captian Preston admited to telling the men to load their guns. The whole thing started with a couple of young boys throwing snowballs at the soldiers.
Update on Memoir
My memoir is going good I have lots of stories and a great idea.
The reasons in the stories make it hard because reasons are hard to come up with to go with the story.
Letter to the king
Dear King George,
The taxes are hurting the colonists. We ask that we get a represenitive.
We are citizens of Great Britin to. The Quartering act to me is the worst of all. You are taxing the food we buy and we have to buy food for your soldiers to. Its like paying a double tax. A boycott will start up and all of Britin’s taxes will fall. The Colonys will rule themselves. The soldiers can farm and build houses for themselves and NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
Signed
Mad Colonist
Presentation
My group had to do research on Maryland. We made a poster with everything about Maryland, and we made a commercial. There was lots of work to be done and our commercial was to quiet so we brought in a speaker and it worked great.
