Surprise: This week the surprise was when I woke up at 6:00 in the morning on Monday, I was still really sleepy then I went back to sleep then the next thing I know my alarm clock is ringing! Then I woke up and I noticed that it was 7:15! It was surprising because I was planning to wake up again at 6:40 but instead woke up at 7:15! I have now learned from the lesson to expect anything while sleeping.
The article I am reading right now is about a Atomic clock that will not gain or lose a second for 15 billion years. This atomic clock was finished last year but the scientists that made it made some adjustments and then it was finished this year for real. Also the clocks parts weigh about a ton.

- How much did you know about the topic before you read the article? What do you now know about the topic that you did not know before?
- Why did you choose this article?
I chose this article because I thought it looked interesting when it said that it won't lose or gain a second for 15 billion years. Also because I never heard of a atomic clock before. And the picture looked pretty cool and advanced.
- How does the information provided in this article affect the future?
This can affect the future by if someone in a couple years doesn't know what time it is and all his clocks are wrong they can just look at the atomic clock and see what time it is. Also if all the clocks in the world were wrong they can all look at the atomic clock and see what time it is. So those are the ways the atomic clock can affect the future.
- One question you have after reading the article. How would you go about answering that question.
Why is this atomic clock important? Well it is important because it can keep track of time for a couple billion years. While other clocks can't.
