__Comments from Teachers during the research process:__


 * Note from Mr. Kleyn. What do you mean when you say "google?"**

Note from Mr. VanOrden. Great questions. I think you'll find the answer very interesting. I recently used a saw that had diamonds on the blade. Why do you think it would be good to have diamonds on a saw?

//Note from Mrs. Smith: You have done a nice job of writing your research. There were so many interesting facts about diamonds to choose from, it was hard to decide which to include! Great recording of you reading, as well!//
