The Trip to the Antartic

One day I was getting ready to go the Antarctic to see how the temperature. So I got some warm clothes for when I get there. After I got my clothes all packed up, I went to the car and drove to the airport. I had to hurry because the plane was to leave in 1 hour.
With 10 minutes to spare I made it there right on time. When I made it to my seat I took my seat and just fell asleep because it was a long day and was very tired. It was to be 7:50pm when I got there.
I woke up and looked outside excited and when I looked out the window I saw ice and snow as far as I can see. I also saw mountains and mountains of ice everywhere. It took me a minute to find out it was cold so I opened my bag and took out my huge coat and went outside to start my research.
I took out my thermometer and stuck it in the ice and waited for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds I checked the thermometer and the temperature of the ice was -5 degrees Fahrenheit. In L.A. it is usually is 60 degrees and the difference from those two temperatures was 65 degrees. I also noticed that in each 3 minutes the temperature decreases by 15. I can write that as -15 degrees to show that the temperature was decreasing. I stayed there for 4 hours and when I woke up in the morning it was 15 degrees Fahrenheit and at nighttime it was -35 degrees. The temperature increased by 50 degrees.
At the end of the day I had all the information I needed and was ready to go back to L.A., so I came back to the plane. When I came back, I went to find some place to eat. I went to the vending machine and paid $5.00 dollars but it stole my money because the thing I wanted to buy cost $2.00 dollars and needed $2.50 dollars back. So I just went to my car and went back to house.

  1. I really liked your story.
    I learned that if you you put a thermometer in ice for 10 seconds it will turn to -5 degrees.
    The best part of the story was when you were on your way to Antarctica.
