US Census Map

There is a site called mapping America. It is on The New York Times website.

You start by typing in your zip code and city. You can also see places you have never been to before. It shows the percentage of the different types of people. The ethnic groups the website shows are White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and other.

You can look around the whole world.

The Failing Buzzer Failed

Jay, Nikita, and I tried to make motorized car but we did not have enough putty. We used 1.5 voltage battery, a AA battery holder, 2 Cd's, a corrugated piece of cardboard, an electrical wire, 8 faucet washers, a motor, poster putty, 2 wooden skewers, scissors, and wire strippers. We used the putty to make the CD stay in place. I wanted to use 2 faucet washers for training wheels. We used directions from the PBS kids website.

PBS Kids & DESIGN SQUAD Helps You Draw Cakes

On PBS Kids, you can draw moving cakes that are cool.

The cakes are drawn using your computer mouse. You can draw just about anything and add it to your cake -- all in the hopes of making it move.

If you want to design a cake, you have to set up an account with a password and a username on the website. If you forget your password, you can click three pictures you selected during signup. Making an account on PBS Kids is free.

If you like somebody's picture you can give them a sticker. You can also view the cakes by the number of stickers that the most popular designs have earned.

As reporters with The Hillwood Herald, we do PBS Kids projects and go on organization's websites for design challenges. But PBS kids is a website where you can play games and design pictures.
