[Story] [Science]
Oobleck World
Oh no! It's almost time to leave! We were all
waiting for our spaceship to take off as we walked
back and forth and glanced up at the clock. As we
were pacing, we heard, in the speakers, that our
spaceship would be taking off in ten minutes. We
finally got all our bags picked up and started to
walk towards our spaceship. There was silence all
over, as we dozed off into space, thinking, when
finally Sara said, "We might want to hurry up so
our spaceship doesn't leave without us." Everyone
agreed, so we quickened the pace to something a
little less than a jog, but more than a casual
walk.
We all got to our spaceship with three minutes
to spare. So we started to look around to get
acquainted with the surroundings. It was finally
time to leave so we all got our stuff. Three...
two... one... BLAST OFF! We were off! So far, John
and Joseph were handling the cockpit well by
themselves, so Francesco and Robert wanted to look
around the spaceship more.
All of a sudden there was a loud, boom!!! The
spaceship started to shake when Mary yelled,
"Meteor shower!" Joseph had to do some quick
dodging around all the meteors. We barely missed
one! But yes we made it! The meteor shower had
finally passed, and it looked to be smooth riding
till we got to planet Oobleck. As we rode on, I
started to feel a warm feeling like when the sun
shines on you not too hot, but just right.
We arrived at planet Oobleck. The ride took us
one month. It felt long, yet short at the same
time. There were times when it was fun, and there
were times when you just sat there and went into
your own world.
When we got to planet Oobleck, it was really
cool. Oobleck wasn't at all slimy, so we decided to
get started on our work. Mary, Francesco, Josiah,
and Robert went out to get Oobleck samples. They
were gone for a very long time because they had
been doing some exploring and found some creatures.
These creatures were very beautiful. They had lots
of vibrant colors and lots of designs all over
their bodies. Although they looked beautiful, they
also appeared mad. They had weapons of some sort,
which at this time was pointed right at us. They
were speaking to us and "You should go away before
we pulverize you! If we are to get angry, it won't
be a very pretty sight! Leave NOW!" John said "We
mean you no harm. All we would like you to do is to
let us explore your planet." The creatures still
had the weapons pointed directly at us as they were
thinking of what they should do. The creatures
finally agreed as long as we didn't bother or
disturb them.
The explorers brought the Oobleck samples back
to the spaceship. Sara, Joseph, and John went
straight to the lab with the samples. They examined
them while I tried to get connected to home base. I
finally got connected and Sara, Joseph, and John
told the base everything they knew.
We gathered all the information we could and we
started to pack up. We planned to leave the next
day. Mary, Francesco, Josiah, and Robert wanted to
go out for their last journey through Oobleck
planet. They told Sara, Joseph, and John to hurry
up and pack before they get back from
exploring.
When Sara, Joseph, and John came back to the
spaceship, they took off. By the time they returned
to home base, everyone was waiting to get the
oobleck, so they could run more tests on the
oobleck. They soon realized it was safe enough to
stay there as long as they have food because food
can't grow there. When they were done running tests
everyone was having fun playing with the
oobleck.
