b2 pt. blog

1. this week we had a suprise man from some place in new york come in and teach us about the earth and space. It was really cool, he had a vertual presentation that showed us everyrthing about our galexy. We saw that pluto isnt a planet because it doesnt follow the trends for the outer planets. Also their is another planet further than pluton and that was cool to find out. After that we had to leanr about newtons 5th law...it involved speed. Then when we finished that we had to do an ASK review packet. I thought it was fairly easy and the ons i got wrong we went over in class and i realized my mistake. And we did that through friday.

2. One of our homeworks was to look at some actuall essays that students wrote. We had to judge them and score then. The next day we got the actuall grades and i wasnt off by much. I realized that you need to put down evwerything and it also helps to draw a diagram of what you are doing. I think i am ready for the ASK.

week

This week we started dinamicks. On monday we had an into on it with a blasetball little ball and bowling ball. We had to hold them and try not to let them drop. That shows us that we are applying equlil force that the earth is applying to pull it down. we learned how to plot it and when you have equil force the lines are the same and the origin is the object. Tuesday we had to take the long test that i didnt finish and had to continue to wendsday. Then on wendsday after we did the testwe used a weight and a scale and continued dinamicks. We used a cool touch screen thing to measure the forces. We did a worksheed and did that into thursday and went over it friday. Also on friday we did these 3 dificut problems that took a while and we finished up the week with that
