Galileo Galilei!

The science fair is coming up and my class and I have been learning about famous scientists! My favorite scientist was Galileo Galilei! He was an amazing scientist! He was born in Pisa, Italy in 1564! There was another scientist named Aristotle. Aristotle had a theory that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. Galileo however disagreed. So Galileo went to the top of the Tower of Pisa and dropped a heavy object, and a light object. They both fell at the same time! Aristotle was wrong. He was an amazing scientist and there are many more radical things that he's done!

Cruise ship wreck in Italy.

A couple of days ago there was a big cruise wreck in Italy. First the boat crashed into a corral reef and then it crashed into a big rock at the ocean floor. Suddenly the boat flipped on its side. At least six people died and many more are missing. Have you ever heard the phrase "The captain goes down with the ship? Well not this time. The captain of the ship left the boat and swam to shore. People in the boat were waiting for orders, which they never received. The captain may be charged for abandoning his ship and may spend 15 years in jail. I hope everyone on that boat is okay.

The Republican Debate!

The Republicans will debate all across the U.S Eventually one of them will win and run for president against Barack Obama. So far they've been in Iowa and New Hampshire. Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, won both of those debates. Many say that he has a hometown advantage because Massachusetts is not far from those other two states. Next they'll move southern to South Carolina! Who will win that debate? Get the full results from New Hampshire under "Rad Websites"!

Gabrielle Giffords Recovery.

One year ago today, there was an awful shooting here in Tucson,AZ. Congress woman Gabby Giffords was talking in front of a crowd in front of a Safeway when a 22 year old man shot 30 bullets that killed many people and went through Gabby's brain. People were almost certain she had died. She was rushed to a hospital. What happened next was amazing. She was actually recognized her husband, Mark Kelly. Since then she has made an amazing recovery. She can speak very clearly now. Lets take a moment to remember all of those who lost their lives. Her recovery was amazing. It shows you that failure is not an option! Look at how the bullet affected her and what it could have done, under "Rad Websites".
