Bungeeeeeeeeee.......
Today, we bungeed! Great times in Science class today when we found out the answer to the question "How does the amount of mass affect the distance the mermaid bungees?" I heard some amazing discussions using proper vocabulary in context. Students collected data, calculated averages and were to write a proper conclusion based on their data results. Investigative plans, data and conclusions are due tomorrow, Friday.

Mermaid Bungee Jump
Today we worked on a mermaid bungee jump, collecting data, creating a scatter plot and then making some predictions of a bungee jump on a greater scale. Tomorrow, we will build on this concept with doing an investigative plan based on a similar idea and incorporating energy knowledge into our plan.

Gravitational and Elastic Potential Energy Lab
Who knew you could actually learn something playing with rubber bouncy balls and rubber bands. Well, you can and if you were in class, you DID! We did a lab on Friday and learned a little. The document isn't attached, but if you were gone, I have one in class!

Bill Nye: The Science Guy
Today on our shorter class period day, we reviewed our worksheet that was for homework and then headed to watch Bill Nye: Energy. Students had a worksheet (see below) to complete that went along with the video. The link to the video is below as well a link to a review Tackk about Potential and Kinetic Energy.

Balloon Racers
Today we began building our Balloon Racers. Students are responsible for their own supplies. We are building today and tomorrow in class and TESTING them on Thursday. All requirements for the racers are on yesterday's post. FYI: Supplies do NOT need to be new, they can be from your junk drawer! Get creative, research a little and have fun!

Gaining Momentum....
or at least we are learning about it today after completing Balloon Rockets! Students will need to go read Chapter 2, Lesson 4 about Momentum and then go on the internet to finish the assignment. Students are required to build a Tackk based on their learning for today and tomorrow. All the assignment guidelines are on my tackk at the website below. Please follow the link.

Welcome Back!
Back to school, back to reality.....Here we go! Today and yesterday, we worked on a practice MSP test. It is a review of what we have worked on in the fall and will be on their MSP. We worked on pages 2-5 yesterday and on the rest today. We also watched a couple short videos to help understand a couple concepts that haven't been covered yet.
