Hello my trusty Grade 7's!
As I was sitting here trying to figure out what this week's blog question should be I accidentally came across this video (see below) and despite the fact that this amazing jump occurred several weeks ago, I am still amazed by it. It truly is unbelievable.
Just in case you haven't heard about this amazing feat, here is a little background:
Felix Baumgartner recently made headlines by jumping from over 128, 000 feet above the earth. After two test jumps, of 15 and 18 miles high, Felix took the ultimate plunge over the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. With a thumbs-up before the jump and a victory pose after he landed, Baumgartner became the first man to break the sound barrier wearing only a protective suit.
Felix broke several records in this exciting jump. He jumped from a record-breaking height of 24 miles above the earth, he reached record speeds of over 700 miles per hour, and he was the first man to break the sound barrier (move faster than the speed of sound).
Your task this week is to answer the following questions:
1. Can you think of a world record that you could match or break?
2. How would you go about preparing for your world record?
Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students. Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

I think i would try to go the longest time without breathing. I would prepare by doing it alot and doing breathing exercises.

rory6180 - Do you know what the record is for holding your breath? Start training now! :-)
Delete22 minutes and 22 seconds is a long time!!

that is a very good record. it will be very hard and alot of money. i really like your idea
Deletesincerly, hanna
Is there even a record to beat for that??
Delete-naom6110
Is that possible? :/ Just wondering because I don't think the outer space is filled with water or we'd all be dead. All the water would've fell onto earth.

1. I could probably break the world record for asking the silliest questions, like do you like toast?
ReplyDelete2. I could ask questions like is Ed Sheeran visually apealling to you ;D
Julia, I can't remember my thing....

ReplyDelete2. i would first prepare by be able to do the splits all the way, the seccond thing iw ould do would be practice until i could do it perfectly straight, the last thing i would do would be work on hight.

a world record that i think i could break and i want to break is to make the longest line of kniting knitted. how i would perpare for my world record is to have a long room or i could just pile the yarn up, knitting needles, yarn, and a very long tape mesaure.
ReplyDeletesincerly, hanna
sounds fun as long you know how to knitt first
Deletesama6350
Great world record to break! I would love to knit with you. Make sure you check your spelling and capitals next time. Good Job!! - alex6120

ReplyDeleteThe world record that I would want to break would be to flip the most pancakes on one pan at once. the way that I would try to break the record would be to practice every day and and make pancakes for my family every morning.
Hi it's noah6130
DeleteThat sounds like a fun record to beat. Don't forget to bring pancakes for the class. How many would you flip at once?
1. I think a record I could break is the longest phone call. The record right now is 40 hours.
ReplyDelete2. I would go about this by making sure we have a good phone plane, more than one full charged phone with the same number so I can switch phones and have a good topic to talk about.

1. i know a wold record that would break that would break that sky diving from a space ship when coming in the atmispear.
ReplyDelete2. i would get a space suit and a space ship and fly to the moon and and when we come back as fast we can as soon as we reach the atmispear jump. niko6150
I would try to beat or match the world record of the hardest hockey slap shot. the way i would go about beating this record would be getting lots of sleep the night before and buying a really nice hockey stick that is really flexy with my favourite curve.
ReplyDeletegreg6091
iw ould break a world record by reading the most in a day. I would prepare by reading every day when i have free time.
ReplyDeleteSama6350
why do you want to read everyday? is it your biggest hobby? cari2480
DeleteA world record i think i could break or match would be fastest skater. How i could prepare for that is keep playing hockey keep doing power skating and pratice skating i think i could do it.
ReplyDeleteJosh9240
1. If I had to break a world record, I would probably choose to own the most cats ;P I want to do this because I just love cats so much.The current world record for owning the most cats is 689, so, I just have to own 690 cats ;D
ReplyDelete2. I would start buying a ton of cats.

The worlds longest name record is....Barnaby Marmaduke Aloysius Benjy Cobweb Dartagnan Egbert Felix Gaspar Humbert Ignatius Jayden Kasper Leroy Maximilian Neddy Obiajulu Pepin Quilliam Rosencrantz Sexton Teddy Upwood Vivatma Wayland Xylon Yardley Zachary Usansky.
ReplyDeleteI think I could beat it because you could just put random names.
jenn6831
The world record i would break would probably be richest man alive for makeing new edventions like velcroe skates.I could start perparing by makeing sketches of the skates and thinking of names.
ReplyDeleteHank6160
Hi it's noah6130
DeleteVelcro skates sure would be easy to put on.
What other cool inventions would you come up with
Noah6130
ReplyDeleteMy record that I could match or break would be farthest distance cycled under water (the record now is 2km).
To prepare I would make sure I had a tank with lots of oxygen and a good bike for completing the record.

Deletecari2480
