I hope that we discover more interesting things as we end our Grade 7 school year.

Roasting Marshmallows
For the past few periods in science, we have been trying to roast a marshmallow without the use of electricity or fire. Many different methods have been tested, and the strategy that has had the most success is concentrating sunlight using a magnifying glass. This has proven effective by burning a marshmallow in a mere 5 minutes.

Finished
Hello everybody(probably Mrs Bumstead because my blog has basically no traffic)!
After about 3 months of periodic work on my passion project, I have finished it and presented it to the class! My presentation was on information security, which is essentially security on the internet. In my speech, I explained numerous techniques for attacking and being the attacker, since it's easier to understand how to prevent something if you know what you are preventing.
After journeying into the depths of unknown internet territory, I have come back unscathed and ready for more. It will be important to revisit information security and extend my knowledge to the outer rim. I am ready to learn more.

Passion Project
I am now finished my passion project on information security. I have learned about how to protect myself against attackers with malicious intent. I have also learned White Hat Hacking. That means hacking with good intentions in mind. e.g. DDoSing or taking down an offensive website. Black Hat Hacking, however, is hacking with bad intentions. e.g. Deleting files from a website, hacking a bank. I have learned a lot about protection in the digital world and the potential dangers in the cloud.
