Wonder Project
“Wisdom Begins in Wonder.” – Socrates
A man of wisdom and wonder, Greek philosopher Socrates was born in 469 B.C.E. and is considered one of the wisest of all time. Through his questioning and honest dialogues, the renowned philosopher sought to find what was true and good in life. Socrates spent much of his life in conversation in the marketplace, exploring an argument to its conclusion. With fellow Athenians, Socrates discussed and debated life. He taught by making others think. Dedicated to life-long learning, Socrates celebrated the word…”Why?” (http://www.dailycelebrations.com)
The Wonder Project encourages you to wonder and discover!

Just kidding! I wondered who invented email, and why. I found out that Ray Tomlinson invented email in 1971. The “@” in email addresses was put there because it told which user was “at” the computer. He combined SNDMSG and CYPNET so; any computer in the ARPnet network could use it.

The ancient Mayans are an old civilization that just some how disappeared one day, and we don’t know how they really got wiped out. They were good at farming and even learned how to domesticate dogs and turkeys. They also invented a calendar. They were pretty advanced for their time, so it’s a big mystery why some whole cities disappeared.

My wonder project was on the history of the Atomic Fire Ball. I learned they are made from a single grain of sugar and it takes 2 weeks to make them. They were invented in 1954 by Nello Ferrara of the Ferrara Pan Candy Company in Chicago. My candy says they were made in Mexico for them. When you put the atomic fireball in your mouth at first it is not hot but after sucking on it for a while it gets really hot. The process that thay use to make atomic fire balls is called hot panning. I like the Virtural tour they have to show us the process. It is at http://www.ferrarapan.com/html/fb_tour.html.

I did my wonder project on MMP (Marine Mammal Program) of the Navy Seals. I found out that the MMP started in the 1950’s when the Navy started studying the unique attributes of marine animals. For example, they studied the hydrodynamics of the dolphins. They discovered that dolphins and sea lions are highly reliable, adaptable, trainable and they would be a big help for them. They were used to search, detect, and mark objects under the water. I found my information at http://www.spawar.navy.mil/sandiego/technology/mammals/animals.html

Hello Mr. Mundorf it is jpembree and I wanted to tell you about my wonder project. My wonder project is about the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was a gift to America from the French. The designer of the Statue of Liberty was a man named Frederick Auguste Bartholdi. The French built the actual statue and America built the pedestal of the statue. The French had to raise funds to help build the statue by using entertainments and a lottery. The United States had to raise funds by auctions, art exhibitions and a newspaper created by Joseph Pulitzer titled “ The World “. The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1884 and the pedestal was finished in June, 1885. That is what my wonder project is about.

I wondered where mandrill live and why they are threatened.
From this project i have learned that the mandrill lives in the tropical rainforest and sometimes in woodlands of southern cameroon, gabon,equatorial Guinea, and congo. People have ruined the mandrills home by cutting down their rainforest, home.
I am curious if they will ever become endangered or extinct.

Hi Mr. Mundorf this is RBHoffman, I am posting for my wonder project, History of Thanksgiving. I learned that the first Thanksgiving was in 1621. The plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared the first Thanksgiving. Many of the foods we eat today at Thanksgiving wasn’t on the first Thanksgiving and a lot of the foods that were on their menu we dont eat at Thanksgiving. I thought Thankgiving was just about the pilgrims but I found out that it is much more broad than that.

To make a glow stick you need luminal, sodium carbonate, copper sulfate, pentahydrate (white powders), water and several clean, dry, clear bottles. First you combine hydrogen peroxide (liquid solution) and 1 liter of water in a ceramic bowl. Second, mix luminal, sodium carbonate, copper sulfate, and ammonium carbonate in a second non-metal bowl. Pour equal amounts of the liquid solution with equal amount of the powder mixture into each container and close the bottles, then WATCH IT GLOW!

I wondered about the characteristics, religion,lifestyle,and culture of the Pawnee Tribe of the Great Plains. The Pawnee were basically farmers, but still hunted buffalo like most other Indian tribes. They had a religious ceremony that was called “The Morningstar Ritual” which I will reveal during my presentation….it has to do with a human sacrifice. I hope you enjoy my presentation.

I did my wonder project on Prairie Dogs. I learned that Golden Eagles and Ferrets are their predators. Coyote and the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake are not their predators. The coyote sneaks up on the Prairie Dog, but they are so cautious that they run away quickly. The rattlesnake is about to attack the Prairie Dog when other Prairie Dogs come and bite the snake. Some of them circle the snake to distract him while others come from behind and BITE! I also learned that when a female is near the edge of the group’s territory they meet another female. They greet each other by putting their mouths close together and they touch tongues. When a female relizes that another female is not from their group, she makes a loud chattering noise. When the stranger doesnt immediately leave the female attacks it.
