Energy Bars

By Rose Kartchner

Anyone can make these easy, quick, and delicious oatmeal energy bars. They make for a fun pretend baking show, or they can be done with the whole family. Either way, they taste amazing! Plus, this is a great way for parents to get their kids to like baking, because these don’t require an oven! They are super after-school snacks, and can be made a lot of ways, but I’m going to share the ones my family likes the most. If you want to find the other 6 recipes, you can go to Blessthismessplease.com. *If you have a family bigger than 4 people then you may want to double the recipe

Marble Racing

By Jack Kartchner           Right now it is hard to find a good sporting event to watch or play. Are you missing your team sports? Are you sad you can’t watch any sporting events? Maybe you were looking forward to the Olympics this summer and are disappointed to miss out. If you miss playing sports or watching them then I have the thing for you: marble racing.           I found Marble racing with my dad on YouTube. Marble racing is a fun show where someone sets up courses and races marbles. There are several different types of courses and events. Some of the courses are on the sand. They sometimes have obstacles, bridges and cool curves. They also have regular marble courses, like the ones you buy with elevators, half pipes and funnels. Some marble racing also has olympic games with marbles for those who are sad they are missing out on the olympics this year.           I also like that the marbles have cool...

Lets Shake Things Up

Lets Shake Things Up   by Jack Kartchner            Recently there was an earthquake in Salt Lake City. It was a 5.7 magnitude earthquake with aftershocks continuing for a long time. Maybe you felt it at your house. Maybe you have been wondering, how do earthquakes happen? I can tell you.           So how does an earthquake start? The first thing to know is that the Earth’s crust is made of lots of pieces. Think of it like this, the earth is like a puzzle it has many different pieces that connect together. These pieces are called plates. An earthquake starts when two of the earth's plates contact, slide, or bump into each other. The parts of the earth where the plates touch is called a fault line. On a fault line is where earthquakes happen. When the plates collide with each other it sends out waves, when those waves reach the surface of the earth they shake buildings and other objects on the surface of the earth.  ...
