  1. When forces are unbalanced the object will change speed direction or shape!

  2. If forces are balanced the speed of an objects will stay the same and an object that is not moving remains still.

  3. When force becomes unbalanced it will change its speed or direction.

  4. The tool the measures force is Newton.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Forces are balanced when the forces are effecting the object/item equally.

    ReplyDelete
  6. When forces are balanced the object does not move because they are pulling the same amount, so there ends up being no movement.

  7. Three things force can change about an object are speed,direct and shape of an object.

  8. You can measure force using a spring and nueton's.

  9. When force becomes unbalanced it will change its speed or direction.

  10. When a force is unbalanced the object will change direction shape or speed.

  11. The tool to measure force is newton.

  12. A force can change speed and direction.

  13. I learned that force can make more or less friction
    and that the surface dose the same!

  14. I learned a toy car does not go very far on polished wood.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Today in science block with Mrs Blake I learned that force is when you push something and it moves and movement is when something moves like when you walk it is motion because you moved.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I learned what an aerospace engineer is.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Today in science I learned that on ice a toy car goes faster than a toy car on wood and polished wood.Polished wood is also called vinyl.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I learned that the force friction can slow down things on wood very slow but almost not at all on ice.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I learned an aerospace engineer is someone who builds engines for planes.

  20. Today in science on my first website I learned that work is when you push something with force and it moves well it is work,force is when you push something like if you push an bookshelf it is force, and movement is when you make a movement as if i was taking a walk I am moving it is movement.

  21. Today I learned that the more friction you put on a object the slower it goes.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I learned that toy cars can't move that fast on carpet.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I learned that force is the push on the object and motion is the movement of the object.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I learned the more friction on a object the more slow it will move.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I learned that on ice toy cars go faster then on wood.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I learned that if you apply to much power to a light bulb it will stop working.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Today in science on my 2nd website I learned that the pulleys that lift a space ship all together can lift up to 120 tons which is a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  28. there is more friction when something is rough and you
    go slower.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I learned that when I pushed the car back to the red light it still did not go all the way on the carpet.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I learned that when you add a parachute to a vehicle it slows it down.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I learned that gravity and friction are forces.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I learned that with a heavier weight the car goes faster.

    ReplyDelete
  33. When forces are balanced on a stationary object the object does not move, but when the forces are balanced on a moving object the object does not accelerate in any way. This is really interesting!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I found out that force is measured in newtons.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I learned that a baseball bat is a simple machine,a lever.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I learned that your shows are a pulley. I also
    learned that a ship is a inclined plane.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I learned that a car is a wheel and axle and that lots of things are simple machines.

Patriotism, Good Citizenship, and Important American Symbols

This week we are studying in depth the intent, meaning, and importance of many American symbols, documents, songs, and speeches. In doing this, we are using some neat tech resources: Star-Spangled Banner Smithsonian Site Our Country's Flag Flag Manners The Pledge of Allegiance The Declaration of Independence The Constitution The Bill of Rights American Symbols

Texas Regions

*Parents, this is an in-class assignment. Hello, SBLC Super Stars! Today, you are explorers of the four Texas regions. If you get finished--AND your have double checked your work--please make a comment that includes your name and something you enjoyed learning today! Directions : Carefully read below and use the links to investigate the characteristics and history of each region. Remember to write neatly and double check spelling...everything you do deserves your best effort! :) 1. A  sub-region  is a smaller part of a region or area. What are the sub-regions within each Texas region? Look at the picture below to see how to record your findings in your notebook. Now, click here to find your answers:  http://bookbuilder.cast.org/view_print.php?book=41216 2. On the next two pages in your notebook, create a half-page "fact sheet" for each region. Set your pages up first! Use a ruler to make straight lines and create a half page for each region. Then write:
