The Week of December 7

This week we learned many more science ideas. We learned more things about force diagrams. We now don't just put vertical arrows we put horizontal arrows to show if the object is moving or being pushed. For this you have to make two number sentences representing both displays of motion. The most important thing we learned this week is that delta v arrows are always in the same direction as the unbalanced force. Of course one is on a force diagram and one is on a motion diagram. This was a breakthrough which helped us understand most of the work to follow it.

This week we learned information in many different ways. Like always we took notes and followed examples and experiment. But, this week we learned information in many more different ways. My favorite way was in the form of a debate. Our class chose sides on a science idea and we argued our idea until one side figured out they were wrong by our information and examples. I found this a fun way to learn.

These science ideas are important to know, because when we have tests or quizzes this following week we will need to know this or we wont get a good grade. Also later in the year, when we go on to different subjects we might have to go back to this to furthermore our learning in that specific subject. These are two good reason why this is important.
