Gravity & Density Egg Experiment

Last week we did an science experiment  that is called 

 Egg Float,it was really cool because we had an egg, a rock,

some salt, and water.We followed the dirctions to tell us what to do. 

First we put  waer in both of the cups. Next we put the eggs and the rocks in the cups of water 

and we had to do it very carefully so the egg would't crack and the dirctions say we have to be

carefully so the experiment can work.Then we put the rock in and they both sank to the bottom the first time. Then we relized that we didn't add enough salt and water to the cup with the egg in it, so we added more water and salt and stired it  until the salt disolved then the egg slowly floated to the top.After thart, everyone was so happy because they got it we were even racing each other to see who got it nto the top first!

Garden Fun

This year we desided yo help the garden with all 

those unwanted weeds. We may have accidentily 

pulled out some flowers but only the ones that looked like weeds.

then we went to the side of the school and picked up all the leeves.

We were going to help Mrs.Liddles class in the back garden but we had to go inside.

                                        While we were looking for weeds we found a little tree frog
                                                                      in the booshes

                                 But in the end I would say it looks pretty good and mabe next year we can plant 

some flowers instead of pull them

Our ticket system on Friday

In our class we have tickets it is like the real deal but fake.We get them for doing good things and on Friday we get to spend them on cool stuff like candy and backpacks.We can save them up and get even more cool stuff.I think that is just about it. Or not.Another  thing is that when there is a lot of something the prices change.You half to count the tickets in front of the teacher and you half to count how many tickets you have.You can also put your name on a ticket and put it in a jar and the teacher will some times pull from it.one more you can earn tickets by is turning in books and magazines and by also doing Xtra math and sometimes if you stand in line quietly.

Hot Wheels

Alasha, and conner testing the car.

alison measuring how far the car went.

     Today we did an amazing/fun "lab"to teach us about force, motion, Gravity, and friction. It was pretty cool. I think this is cool because we learned about it and got to have fun.

   

holly, addi, and danni hiring the ramp.

cydnee, and averee's car fell of

•     first we taped 2 yard sticks together.
•     then we piled our books and put a yard on them like a ramp.
•     next we put the car on the ramp.
•     after we watched the car roll down the ramp. It took 3 times per book.
•     we measured how far the car went of the ramp in centameters.

Spencer and Kelsey with their Red car.

               After that we got our average we did _ +_+_/ 3=_. It showed us a car will move down a ramp if you give it force. Then gravity will make it go down to the floor. After that friction will make it stop because the wheels are rubbing against the carpet.

This was a fun way Mrs. Sims let us learn about force, motion, gravity, and friction we learned a whole lot! (;

DARE

D.a.r.e 

  We have had are first lesson of dare, officer Chance is going to tell us everything we need to know about drugs! We know that some drugs are good but if you overdose it's just as bad as a bad one.

Officer Chance will tell us why we should not do drugs. Also we will know what drugs will do to us.

     We think that this will not just be educational, this will be fun!!! This is why we think we will enjoy D.A.R.E!
