    Today I learned about the M.D.D.
    The M.D.D is a thing that helps N.A.S.A launch rockets.
    It was awesome.

    I'm surprised that the ice went faster than the wood!?

    The thing that was surprising to us was when the truck went farther with the big weight when the ramp was inclined!!!

    Something that suprised us was gradient means increasing the slope and so much more!!!

    I think it helped with learning what makes friction happen because before I wasn't sure how it worked.

    I think the force websurf is a good way to learn what is around you so you can find out about what magnetism,pushing,pulling,friction,ect. is.

    Today I learned about Friction and how it slows things down.

    Something that surprised me was that they made the way to learn about friction and force very fun and very interesting.

    Something that suprised me was that the parachute made the truck go way slower.

    I learned that gravity is the force that pulls things to the center of the earth.

    I learned about friction and how it can slow things down! For example,carpet slows things down.

    I never knew stretching is a force.

    I learned that carpet slows down things the most. Also it surprised me that Ice has less friction

    I was surprised to learn that compression is not the same thing as stretching. The websurf was fun. Thanks!!

    I was surprised that the ice made the sleigh go very fast.

    I was surprised that ice made the car/sleigh go so fast and that the carpet made it go so slow. I also learned what compression is.

    I did not know that there is a fource of pushing down springs! You learn somthing new everyday!

    I learned that there is a force called Compression.

    I was surprised when I learned that friction is greatest on the carpet.

  21. AveryFebruary 11, 2015 at 10:51 AM

    I learned that the rougher the surface the greater the friction!

    Today when I learned that when something is slick like ice it will move very quickly because it doesn't have very much friction on it. This surprised me because I got confused when we were talking about it in class, I thought that when something moved quickly it has a lot of friction but now I understand I have been wrong all along!

  23. AveryFebruary 11, 2015 at 10:57 AM

    I learned that compression is the force where an object pushes down on the spring than the spring will pushes back at you! Also I learned that you mesaure force by using a object.

Reaching Out, Learning about Each Other and the World

By
This week our focus has challenged us to "be the world to one," rather than just "one in the world." Discussions have run deep with how our actions and words truly have an impact on everyone around us. We also talked about how all of us: humanity and nature make the music of this world, and without our unique voice, that music is missing something. Discover what you want to add to the music. Speak up. Say something. We wrestled with big history this week. We celebrated  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock 5, Ruby Bridges, and the thousands of others who took a stand during the Civil Rights Era. To understand this better, we looked at primary source pictures -- these leaders, their actions, their speeches, their marches -- which brought them to life. We examined timelines and asked powerful questions. Again, another opportunity to look at the world -- right now -- and ask, "How can I be the world to one? What do I want to say that makes...
