Dear Mr.Miller,
I watched the flame challenge video and it was interesting
to watch. I feel the question I would like to be addressed is
” what is sound”. I chose this question because one time years
ago in my past classes they have taught me a very little idea on
sound and they left me wondering more about sound. I feel this
topic would get me to lead to other questions in the subject
“Science.
Sincerely,
Justin Schlendorf
Dear Mr. Miller,
I liked the questions for the flame challenge and I liked how the video was really cool. Although we could only pick one question I thought the question should be “what is sound”? I thought that the question should be “what is sound” because sometimes when you hear things you wonder what is sound? You might also wonder “how do we hear things”? That’s because when you think up of a question that question might lead you to other questions.
Sincerely,
Olina

Dear Mr.Miller,
I would like to show my interest in doing the flame challenge of 2016. I think the flame challenge will be a great way to expand my vocabulary in science. Since science is one of my favorite subject, I would be so exited to join.
Dear Mr.Miller,
I would like to inform you I am interested in the flame challenge. Science is my favorite
subject and if there is anything to do with science I will try my best in what to do. So when you
get the questions may you please send them to me. Tomorrow I will come into extra help at 8:00
and then at 8:30 I have to go to band so if I could do some trout club work before band that would
be good for me.
Sincerely,
Justin Schlendorf
Dear Mr.Miller,
I saw the presintaion for the flame challange questions for this year and the one that have made me think is : What is sleep? The reason why I believe that we should do that particular question is because no body really would know how sleep is made. What makes you sleep is by you getting tired… but why do you sleep for that long of time. What does your body do when your sleeping?
Sincerely,
Gianna Sacco
Dear Mr.Miller,
In class you answered my Flame Challenge question so I thank you for that,so I would like to change my question. My new question for the Flame Challenge contest is “What is sleep?”. My reason for choosing this question is, everyone needs sleep but how do we sleep. How do we go into a stage where you can’t hear anyone and when you wake up you feel like nothing happened, you don’t remember anything.That is why I chose this question and I hope these questions will be answered during the scientist video.
Sincerely,
Isabelle Baginski

From Samuel Guzman.
Dear Mr.Miller
For the flame challenge question choices I think it should be what is wind .
I think it should be what is wind because I really like to know some more information about it.
Dear Mr.Miller,
I forgot to say why I chose my question the reason why I chose to ask this question is because, I would like to learn why is there wind? How does wind form? I hope the scientist would answer this question.
Sincerely,
Isabelle Baginski
Dear My Peers working on the Flame Challenge,
I believe that the best question would be, “What is sleep?”. I chose this question because even though everybody does it, not many people (including me) don’t know how exactly sleep works.
Sincerely,
Samuel Lorenzo
Dear everybody,
I noticed that in my last comment, I typed my explanation with incorrect grammar. It should be “not many people (including me) know how exactly sleep works.”
Sincerely,
Samuel Lorenzo
Dear Mr.Miller,
I made my decision and the question I would like to have the scientist answer in the flame challenge is “What is wind”
