Man Robs a Bank in Frankin Township

Recently, in Franklin Township a unknown man robbed a bank on Friday. Investors Saving Bank was robbed by a white man, who was supposedly 40 years old. During the 1:34 p.m. robbery at the bank, located on DeMott Lane in the Somerset section of town, County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said, no one was injured and no one was at the bank at the time. He was wearing blue jeans, a black jacket and a dark-red baseball hat with a circular logo on the front. The man was suspected of being 5 ft 11 in tall, and also wore white rimmed sunglasses. Due to the fact that no one was present during the crime, there were no witnesses, except for the teller. The man handed the teller a note demanding money and a bag. He though, did not show any weapons. The teller gave him the money and he left the bank going in an unknown direction. Investigators are still trying to figure out who this man is and asks anyone with information to contact them.

New Gases Found on Mars

Recently, scientists have found new gases on Mars. The gas found on the red planet was methane. The gas that we call farting. One thing that researchers are wondering is if there is truly bacteria under Mar's surface. The gas has been found in three locations on the planet. This is not easy for researchers because finding this gas is a very hard task. Scientists have been using telescopes and measurements to record the level of the gas. Truly, methane is a unstable compound and unless there is a common source for it, it would eventually disappear. Scientists still are not sure why the gas is coming out of the planet's surface. Scientists have a theory that it is coming from the ice caps because during the Summer the planet gets warmer and the ice melts. The gas may be able to slip out of the rocks. Scientists also say that there are large rocks with methane stuck in them. They say that the Summer unlocks the cages and lets the methane free. These theories all make sense but there's just one more thing, they still do not know where all of the gas is coming from. Mars methane may just be coming from bacteria, but it is still a complete mystery.

My Roller Coaster Website

The Drop

Roller Coaster Project

Recently in science class we started making roller coasters for a project. We had to make a roller coaster out of only the things our teacher gave us. We had to buy the supplies with our Omega money which we received from our teachers for various reasons. We used the money to buy supplies such as cardboard rolls and milk cartons. My group decided to make it only out of cardboard rolls. We had to make three hills and still make the marble travel all the way through. Sometimes our marble got stuck and we had to figure out a new way to make it sure that it made its way all the way through. Sometimes our marble would even get caught by the tape. Sometimes the marble would not be able to make its way up a hill and we would have to try to make up a new way to make it go up. I think that this project was very fun. I enjoyed making the roller coaster and thinking of new ideas to make our coaster better. It was fun to have a hands on project that we can make totally on our own. It was fun to make the coaster anyway we wanted to and it was great that we could use our imagination all we wanted for this project.
