  1. 1. I found the exploding flower to be the most interesting because it would be cool to have a exploding flower.
    2. no I don't want any more information on any thing else I think the author did a good job on describing it all.
    3.this topic is important because this could lead to cheaper mining.
    4.i would support the airport bag check one because it would make bag checking a lot faster. JBG

    2. I agree with you on #4 about supporting the baggage check at the airport.

    3. you did a good job, but you still need to think about the price of explosives in mining. GJG

  2. 1. I found the bunchberry dog wood to be the most interesting.
    2. No, that gave me all the information I needed. 3. this topic is important because it could lead to using the flowers for little busts o9f energy. and if we got enough energy we could power things.
    4.I believe none of them are important enough to fund but should continue discovering things about them.

    3. What you said on #3 was very interesting! I didn't even think about using the flowers to power things! Flower Power! :) JMJ

    4. i agree that the dog wood plant is interesting I also did not think about using flower power to power things I disagree that none of them are important enough to fund because air ports really need the flower power to make bag checks faster. JBG

  3. ADDIE HANSEN: I WATCHED THE VIDEOS AND READ THE ARTICLE AT 8:17 TUESDAY NIGHT.1) I also thought the bunch berry article extremely interesting, because I love explosives.2.) I thought the the writer did a great job explaining about the bunch berry plant. They caught my attention now I want to do more research on this plant.3.) I think this topic is soot of important, because if they could figure out away to use it in the military that would be very neat. It could become a war product. They can start using it for guns!

    2. It would be awesome if they could figure out a way to use it in the military! Nice thinking, and I agree with you that you don't need anymore information on the subject because the author did an excellent job explaining how everything worked out.

  4. JJP:
    1) I thought that the exploding flower was pretty cool!
    2) there isn't any information that I thought it needed, it was pretty well written.
    3) the topic about blowing things up was good because we need TNT to blow things like roads up
    4) I think that if I were to put money into any of them, it would be the baggage checking. it would be easier and faster.

    1. I definitely agree with you that the exploding flower was cool. It was also very interesting because most people think that nature would somehow blow up only because man did it. I mean, who would ever think that a plant would explode to pollinate?! MJS

    2. I agree with you on #3.DET

    3. I also thought the exploding flower was cool. The story was interesting too, and apparently the flower is popular.

  5. 1) The bunchberry dogwood flower was the most fascinating to me because when it pollinates, it explodes to spread pollen all over bees and beetles.
    2) I don't need any more information on the explosive topics. I understood everything very clearly and I enjoyed the amount of information given to me.
    3) This topic is important because it could be another clue of how plants and flowers pollinate on their own.
    4)Public tax dollars should support the airline bag check because if people don't know that they're about to put a bomb on a plane, people's lives could be in danger and people would be killed if no one knew about the bomb. MJS

    1. I think you are totally right on #4. We should definitely make sure we have the best possible security at the airport. JMJ

    2. I agree that the tax dollars should be spent on the explosive detectors. There's also more people on an airplane, great answer for #4!

    4. I believe airport safety is a big thing, but the product should be more developed before we spend our tax dollars on it. GJG

  6. 1) What I found interesting is how even harmles exsplosives makes a difference.2) I dont think I need any more information because whats there more to know.3) So we can know how we make rodes, houses and even tunles.4) I think the exsplosives should because if we need part of a cliff off we need money to do that.DET

  7. 1) What I found interesting was how fast the bunchberry flower could explode.
    2) I would like more information on the other plants that were briefly mentioned that also explode.
    3) This topic is important because it gives the public information on what scientists have recently discovered.
    4) I think we should use our tax dollars on bettering the airport security, because if we are using tax dollars, it should be used on something that would benefit the people paying for it. JMJ

  8. 1: I thought that the bunchberry flower was cool because of the speed at which it blooms (1 millisecond). I also thought that it was interesting how this flower had a triggered bloom when large movement or weight occurred. One thing I learned in another part of the article was that some rocks just might need multiple, small explosions, rather than one large one to be broken up.
    2: I would like to know more about what the bunchberry flower's speed could be used for rather than the fact that it just pollinates and it stays safe from being triggered by insects like ants (Mass trigger.)
    3: I think it was important because if people can do better mining, and people will be safer from airport explosions, it will make life much easier and safer.
    4: I think the tax dollars should be used on explosive detectors because at an airport, it may not seem common, but people have succeeded in sneaking in explosives. Also, many more people go on flights than people do mining, and there can be children and entire families on flights.

    1. I agree with the airport idea because people do not go mining a lot. JBG

    2. very interesting a bike rock can be blown into little peices but then you need more explosives.
      you cant exactly now someones going to blow up a plane but with detectors you can tell and prevent it from happening. bmm

    3. sorry a big not a bike.bmm

  9. 1 I think that the Explosive technologist is wonderful. 2 do they us nitro glycerin any more.3 it is important because all the roads that go threw mountains need TNT. 4 the explosive technologist gets money from the US government because TNT is used for roads. E.D.B
