October 26th, The Week of

This week we learned about motion. We learned that motion is relative which means it can be scene differently from different vantage points. We did many experiments using telescopes,trying to dscribe the motion of different objects. We also used car scenarios where different people are looking at cars moving differently. We connected science to math saying tht motion is like a number line,some movement is negative and some is positive. This depends on what direction something moves in.
We also learned how to make dot diagrams which describes the motion or speed of an object uisng dots and distance to reperesent the amount of seconds it takes for a certain object to move a certain distance. I was also taught how to make a graph using speed and position and curving the line according to how fast or slow and object is going. The last thing we did was mark cars speed and made tables and graphs out of them. We did this with the help of a metronome.
