What are we learning about this week? We are continuing to learn about force and motion. We worked on a packet and practiced more with calculating acceleration, mass, force, velocity. We learned how to calculate the distance fallen during “this second” from what we got after we calculated the velocity. Also we were predicting consequences based on what they were doing. Also we learned how to calculate momentum (momentum = mass x velocity). We also did a mini lab where we jumped 5 different times and measured using a meter stick. We calculated how far we are jumping on each planet. We had to divide our average from all 5 jumps with the amount of gravity for each planet. Lastly, we played diffferent games and reviewed force, mass, and gravity. Why are we learning this? We are learning this because we need to know how things happen. How do we stand? How does something just fall? What would happen if we did this? How? All the things that we learned this week could answer these questions. It is important to know what’s really going on and knowing this would be a huge help. What was the most interesting thing you learned or did in class this week? Why? The most important thing I learned this week is that the speed of something falling is not based on its weight. It is based on its shape. I think this is interesting because I thought that the more an object weighs, the faster it will fall, but it is based on its shape. What was the hardest/trickiest thing we learned about or did this week? I don’t really think there was a hardest. I feel like everything we did, in the packet at least, was pretty difficult, but at the same time not because we were able to look back in our packet for the euqations, for example. Did we have any quizzes or tests this week? If we did, which was it, and what was it on? How was it? We did not have any quizzes or tests this week. If you could pick anything in science to learn more about, what would it be and why? I would like to learn more about how gravity works, for example how it depends on an object’s shape, not weight. Things like that are interesting. Is there anything else you want to add? Now knowing all these different things are just so cool because it feels like I now know how everything happens all because of these past weeks.

What are we learning about this week? This week we’re learning about Newton’s Law. We are focusing on a lot with different types of forces and how the force and acceleration effects different objects to move. Why are we learning this? We are learning this to know what we are living in. So that we know why things are happening in a certain matter and what it’s causing it. To better understand Newton’s law because of how important it is in our lives. What was the most interesting thing you learned or did in class this week? Why? The most interesting thing I did in class was a balloon lab. What I like about it was that it included force which was what we were talking about. It was a creative way to learn visually and verbally to understand our unit. What was the hardest/trickiest thing we learned about or did this week? The hardest thing we learned this week was Newton’s third law. It was a little confusing where every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I didn’t understand the equal reaction and that was the hardest part to learn. Did we have any quizzes or tests this week? If we did, which was it, and what was it on? How was it? There weren’t any quizzes or tests this week. If you could pick anything in science to learn more about, what would it be and why? I would love to learn about gravity and black holes. I find many interests in black holes a lot because if all of the mysterious science behind it. I want to learn about the cause of gravity and how it is made. Our unit we’re learning can go into another unit Newton Law of Universal Gravitation. I will really enjoy the unit and be so interested about everything of it. Is there anything else you want to add? I really enjoy learning about force. Whenever I heard about the story where Newton figured out force from a falling apple I always wanted to learn about all of his laws and the science behind it. I now know a nice chunk of his knowledge and work. This week's blogger: H.V.
What are we learning about this week? We are learning about friction, acceleration, and velocity. We watched a brainpop and had a worksheet based on acceleration and velocity. We have taken a mini quiz on friction. We have also taken notes and did a INB on friction. Why are we learning this? We are learning this to understand the importance of friction without friction we wouldn’t be able to walk or do anything. We also learned about acceleration, and velocity. We learned this because we can and will need this in our daily life when we can drive. What was the most interesting thing you learned or did in class this week? Why? The most interesting thing had to be the whole idea of friction or the article you gave us on friction. This was the most interesting for me because i never quite new what friction was and i never knew how important it was to us. What was the hardest/trickiest thing we learned about or did this week? For me personally had to be the acceleration and velocity. Like when we had to find the acceleration of a problem. Also the whole idea of sliding, fluid, static, and rolling friction. Before I did the INB i didn't really understand the whole idea. Did we have any quizzes or tests this week? If we did, which was it, and what was it on? How was it? Yes we had a mini quiz based on friction, the different kinds and some other questions. It was hard for me not really knowing or understanding the concept. If you could pick anything in science to learn more about, what would it be and why? If I could learn anything in science it would have to be the animal's anatomy and showing the difference between ares as humans and theirs as animal. I show interest in this since my mom is a veterinarian and deals with animals so I would like to know more about them. Is there anything else you want to add? No there isn't anything i would like to add. |
