Serena was excited about the pool party she was hosting that afternoon. She was so glad that when her family had moved six month

s ago, her parents had finally agreed to buy this house. They hadn’t wanted a pool, but Serena had finally convinced them by promising to do all the work.
For a while, she had. She learned to run the pump and filter and to test the pool water for pH range and chlorine levels. Every day, she skimmed bugs and leaves out of the water. Once a week, she scrubbed the walls with a pool brush and cleaner. Lately, however, she’d been so busy with schoolwork and babysitting that she’d neglected her pool duties. Serena grabbed the skimmer basket in preparation for cleaning the pool. Then she froze. She immediately noticed that the water looked cloudy. But when she looked more closely, there were large greenish patches here and there. Serena knew what that meant. Algae was growing rapidly. No one would be swimming in the pool today.
Disappointed in herself, Serena slogged back into the house. She had a lot to do: confess to her parents, give her friends the bad news, and start researching how to get rid of algae.

How to make a bow and arrow

Making a bow and arrow is very simple. Do not do this at home without supervision and carefully read the instructions before attempting to make a bow and arrow. You should brainstorm a good location to begin making your bow and arrow. Sometimes the materials that you buy may not be strong enough so make sure to buy sturdy ones. The materials that you need are rubber bands and some bamboo skewers. Be careful with the bamboo skewers because it is sharp tipped and can go far in the distance. It is exactly like long toothpicks.

First, stretch the thick rubber band between your index finger and middle fingers. Next, use the flat end of the bamboo skewer to push the rubber bands together. Then, form a circular shape with your other hand to hold the material firmly. Use the same fingers that I mentioned before to perform this act. After you have done that pull back on the string and let go. It will go a long distance away and if you have a target such as a box it will punch through it so be careful. You may want to use two layers of boxes.  

I hope you had a good time making it. That is all the steps of making a bow and arrow. If you do not have a target then just use some cardboard box. One of the many places you can do it is in the open plains or fields. Have a great time playing with the bow and arrow!

Hope this helps,

Kavitha
