The fifth and final topic was the one which I found most interesting. The article I found was about clay studies on Mars and how the clay may not have come from water. This topic interests me because I like learning about things that are going on in outside worlds, such as Mars. It is interesting to learn what other planets besides Earth were like an how they were formed. Studies on Mars could show methods of how other planets in the solar system were created. More research could easily be done on this topic.

People are also studying the hundreds of planets discovered outside of our solar system, hoping to find signs of life. I agree that the study of planets is important, because, on our current course, we're going to need them.

Other planets are always interesting and so are thunderstorms. I think plasma is a very interesting stae of matter.

I agree that finding out the ways that other planets were created is very interesting. The only studies of creation and the beginning of life we really learn about today are about earth.

Improving upon ice cream- chemistry at its finest. I love ice cream and the improvement of it through antifreeze makes it even better. I only hope that there are no side effects from eating the antifreeze.
