I am still reading the book The girl who chased away sorrow. And I am liking the book it is very interesting. I am at the part where Sarah which is the main character is sad because she would hear her dad talking about living her village because white en are burning their crops. And their are a lot of other girls and boys talking about the same problem. Sarah is feeling a lot of emotions in the part that I am in.
I am enjoying the book so far. I am at the part were Judy's mom and dad are going on a trip to California. And Judy gets so excited but then her mom tells her that only she is going and her dad. Her aunt Opal is going to stay at their house for the summer and take care of them while they are gone. And then Judy has a awesome idea whoever out of her 3 friends has more fun over the summer by getting thrill points wins. Her aunt Opal then gives Judy a Mood ring and her brother stink a book about finding big foot. Her brother stink is on a mission to find big foot this summer.
The assignment we had to do was build a catapult. My team and I built our catapult the day we did because we wanted it to function really good. Also we also didn't want to really use glue and wanted the catapult to be able to throw the ping pong ball far. We made some changes along the way. Because the catapult did not stand up by itself so we put more popsicle sticks to make it stand straight. Also we had to fix the spoon by adding some rubber bands on the spoon and popsicle sticks.
My team was the most successful catapult in testing how far it could throw the ping pong ball. But in the 3 teams we asked for data the most successful catapult was team 4. They measured 180 degrees. And the length that they got was 108 inches.I think that their catapult was most successful because Of kinetic energy in the ball which makes the ball have control in motion in the catapult. I Am Currently Reading 10 True Tales Crime Scene Investigators which is a informational book. The book is about a murder that happened in an old lady's house Mrs. Dietz and Detective Paula Hammond which is the best detective in the team. And he has found a lot of clues and suspects which could help him find the criminal that killed Mrs Dietz husband. And he has now found out who it was which is a criminal who has been in prison twice but was let free. And his name is Kermit. And right now I am really enjoying this book and it is very informational and good.This Unit we learned about Force and motion. We first made a vocabulary notebook in google slides. And then we watched a brain pop video and answered some questions about video of a roller coaster. My group and I also made a project. And we built a Stripped Down motor out of some supplies. We got a battery, foil, coil, magnets, and a cup. And we had to make the motor work by making the coil stay balanced while spinning to start the motor. This project took patience to start it working.
The ingredients are that she used for this expirment were Dish soap, Hydrogen Proxide, Potassium lolide. Fisrt she added the dish soap and hydrogen proxide and filled it almost to the top. She then added some pottassium iodide. And then their was a exothermic reaction because the color turned yellow and their was some heat given out of it. And this was the last expirment that we saw for unit #3.
This week we expirmented with PH basic soulution and we put it inside different kinds of liquids and we tryed to make the soulution turn nuetral or acidic. DIfferent kinds of colors tell either if they are neutral or acidic. We also expiremnted with vinegar and dish detergent and tried to make them nutreal.
Ocean Acidification: Ocean Acidification is that there is to much Carbon dioxide in the air and sea animails in the ocean can't catch food more easily and they do not grow and bigger sea animails start to eat little animails. And due to Ocean Acidification sea animails can get extinct. What I learned this week was really interesting. I learned about how sugar dissolves in water. And I also learned about how molecules take apart sugar of m&ms. We experimented by putting m&m in a cup of water and the water molecules took apart pieces of the sugar. Then we also learned about putting sugar in hot water cold ice water and normal water. And the hot boiling water won and the medium water was second and the cold water was last. And on Friday I learned about how salt and sugar dissolve in different temperatures of water.
