1.) The Outsiders: This book is about a gang of best friends trying to make it during 1983. With a huge rivalry between the greasers and the socs. Well one night pony-boy and Johnny go to sleep and wake up at dawn at the park. So when pony boy gets home Darry his older brother slaps him and pony boy runs away they go back to the park. Then the socs show up and try to drown pony so Johnny comes and stabs one of them. So they run and try to get away and all hell breaks loose. =====

2.) Bud, Not Buddy: This book is about a kid growing up during segregation times. He is black and grows up in the north so things aren’t as bad as they are in south. Then they had to move to the south because their grandmother has pased and she left them the house in her will.So as you know moving from the south to the north is a big transition.So he runs away hoping that he can run back home, up north. 3.) //UMSolar: Powered by the Sun //

This summary is about a team of engineers that created an actual solar car. This amazing machine went 1800 miles in the outback of Australia! That’s great considering it’s a solar car. That right there tells you that solar cars are great because you don’t need gas fillips and it’s good for the environment! Once the power of the sun hits the battery the car then moves. 4.) //G Word: The Imagine Car //

This summary is about a car that is actually on the market right now. It’s a solar car that is called the imagine instead of using gas it uses suns energy. It is estimated to cost around 15,000 dollars. That’s not bad; it’s cost about the same as a regular car. It can also be used as a power source. 5.) //Mean Green Machines: Solar Cars //

In about 50 years everyone will have a solar powered car. Researchers are already produced and tested over 30 solar cars. Now I know that’s not many but the amount of money it takes to build one is very expensive. So to build 30 that’s good considering how the economy is looking right now. Its cutting edge technology that can also be dangerous. It’s like having a miniature hydrogen bomb in the back of your car!

6.) //How Solar Cars Work //

Solar cells use sunlight to produce electricity. But can they really generate enough energy to power a car? They work by converting suns energy into molecular movement. That’s what moves the satellites in space. Alot of solar cars are 97% efficient. You can find alot of solar cars parts in a hybrid; even though solar cars still help the environment because they use no gas! 7.) //Solar Energy Power in Wisconsin //

This is about how the people in Wisconsin are using solar power to their advantage. The Full Spectrum Solar Company, based in Madison, Wisc, has been doing solar energy installations on cars and residential buildings for years. They install solar electrics & thermal systems such as solar panels and heaters. They also use it to their advantage by transporting themselves throughout the city of Madison. They can go up to two hours on one charge in the vehicles. That’s amazing for a rechargeable solar car. 8.) Soul Surfer: Bethany Hamilton is a Fourteen year old girl who lost her arm to a 14-foot shark. One day her and her dad decided to have a little father daughter time so they went to the beach. Well a few minutes later Bethany started to lay down on her surf board and next thing she knows she is surrounded in a pool of her on blood. Her dad calls the ambulance while trying to swim to her while talking to the police. Well once they get to the hospital they tell “you have just survived a shark attack”. 9.) ** [|Elevator From Earth To Space?] **

This is about scientist and engineers actually trying to make an elevator to space. It will take you into space on a rope that is over 50,000,00 miles long. Also in over 50 years or so that will be possible. Can you believe that in 50 years from now you might actually be able to take a picnic in space! That’s amazing the only but the set back is knowing what material to use and how to use it. 10.) Future Car This is about future cars that are to come. In about 25 years we can have a car that has nano technology embedded in it. It will have electronic skin able to sense its environment around it. That’s our kind of skin so it will be like when we get scratched we will be able to heal our self that’s what the car will be able to do. So you’ll never have to worry about paying those high mechanic bills.  11.) ** NanoTechnology **

The only reason we can’t convert sunlight into energy is because solar panels are too heavy. Although we are working on a type of nano that does the same but is way lighter and less expensive. Also nano show that they are very efficient and provide all our energy needs! That also a key ingredient that helps us move away from nuclear power plants. Nanotech also shows that they work very well with the environment instead of polluting it with nuclear waste. 12.)
 * Medical/Nanotechnology **

This summary  looks at tiny technology that is used for medical research. I learn about Nano Technology and look at a new Nano Tech brain surgery. It is also safer but it works just as great. Nano literally means dwarf and the word comes from Greek slang. Aluminum has actually been shown to explode when its cut down to 30 nano meters. That’s kind of scary! 13.) **Nanotechnology Risks **

Nano tech is simply creating something that already exists and simply splitting it in half. The thing you have to ask yourself is it harmful? If it gets exposed will it do damage to the environment around it? A well common nano is silver you can find it anywhere from socks to tennis racks 14.)Red Scarf Girl: =The story of Red Scarf Girl is about a girl named Ji Li.This is about her life before the Cultural Revolution started. Before it hapenned, her family was very rich. Ji Li was a respectable girl, who wore her red scarf around her neck, received very high marks in school, and was <span class="IL_AD">the top of her class. When Ji Li was twelve-year-old when the Cultural Revolution started.=
