this is the vietnam war memorial. It has all names of about 58000 people who lost their lives in the war. They will all be loved and remembered.///Ibrahim

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Henry)

24/7 there is always a soldier guarding the tomb.  This is a.sign of repect, for always remembering the soldiers they could.never find.  The soldiers wairt 21 seconds, turn and walk 21 steps.  They hold a gun never facing the memorial. 

This is JFK's grave. He was one of the most memorable presidents ever. His grave is a fire coming out of his stone grave. It is a very interesting grave and reminds us all of the great things he did as president///Ibrahim

The most interesting exhibit on the second floor was the one on American Industrialization. Industrialization changed American society greatly with new technological advances and more cities, buildings, and factories

The most interesting exhibit on the third floor was the one on 1939. It showed the many important events in America in 1939 including the start of the Superman comic strip, Al Capone freed from Alcatraz, the World Fair, and more.

We just went to Arlington cemetery and saw the gravesites of American veterans. The most interesting thing we saw was the tomb of the unknown soldier, a grave constantly guarded by professional military personnel commemorating unknown soldiers killed in battle.

JFK Memorial (Henry)

JFK was one of the best presidents in american history. In the middle of his grave there is a flame.  The flame is ever-lasting, symbolizing his ever lasting rememberence. 

The tomb of the unknown soldier was made to honor the soldiers that died in american wars. The big one is for ww1. There is one soldier buried, and he represents all the rst of them. It is very sad, but gives me pride.///Ibrahim

lilienthal glider.
otto litienal influenced the wright brothers by desinging and creating a succesful and safest glider. The wright brothers were inspired and created a similar glider. Miles

The double wing shape of the glider inspired the wright bros. as a stable way to fly. If they hadn't seen it, they might of made a single wing plane that would fail. Joshdb

How a wing works (Henry)

The downward push on the air must result in an upward push on the wing. 

The museum I chose was the Natural History Museum. Here are exhibits about animals and other wildlife. I chose to go here because animals are interesting.
-Hunter

This was found in the natural history/life and earth science museum. It is a monk fish and a johnsons black angler fish. They both look like they werenmt friendly, but nevertheless, cool to see.///Ibrahim

How things fly (Henry)

Lift is the force that acts at a right angle to the direction of motion through the air.  Weight is the force of gravity.  Thrust is the force that propels in the direction of.motion.  Drag is the force.that acts opposite to the direction of motion. 

Lift is created by differences in a pressure. Weight is the force of gravity to the center of the earth. Thrust is the force that propels something in its direction. Drag is the force that acts opposite to it.~joshdb/ezri
