Iron is a mineral our bodies need. Iron is a part of all cells and does many things in our bodies. For example, iron carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies. Having too little iron is called anemia. Iron also helps our muscles store and use oxygen and helps digest our food.
It comes from the structure of an iron atom. The way it is put together makes one side of the atom have a high negative charge....thats why it is magnetic. If you want to melt iron you have to get it to 2,800° Fahrenheit.Today it is 38F outside and my Mom is cooking a roast at 295F. It take a HOT tempeture to melt iron!

Imagination and a Few Things Around the House
I have been busy inventing. This is a solar powered thing Hannah made in her class at school.I made it into a batteray powered backup night light.
This is my "Skidder." My Dad brought home balloons from freecycle and I made a base out of popscicle sticks. The base has to be shaped like an "H." I glued a balloon on it for power. When I blow up the balloon and let go it SKIIIIIIIIIDDDDDS all over the place. I especially like it over the water in the bath tub.
I have some ideas about flying.....I have to work it out still. This hat has a propeller and is made out of cardboard. 
This is what I named a 3 wisher. I don't know what the real name is but it is big enough to make at LEAST 3 wishes come true!
