Motion yay............

ok so this week in science we did a lot with graphs and motion diagrams. yes, motion diagrams. on monday we realized that dot diagrams were unreliable and they could display the wrong messgage. they could be going one way and not represent the right thing. so, we learned about motion diagrams. motion diagrams display velocity, direction, positive and negitives, adn more! how greattt.
on tuesday we leaned more about how to make a moition diagram and why they are better than dot diagrams.
okay so now on wednesday we drew motion diagrams for marbles rolkling down a hill. we also learned about path legth which is the distance that u travel. and we learned abuot displacemembt which corrisponds with velocity. on thursday and frieday we did wkrosheetyse

Motion 3 day week!

this week was a 3 day week! yay!
we did indexes on monday because a lot of poeple werent getting it. of course i was one of those that do get it! hehehe. o and we learned that velocity is a fancy word for speed.

ok so now its tuesday. yay only 2 days left :D
so today we did a lot of homework reveiw and we drew graphs amd stuff.
we discussed a lot within the classroom about the unit that were doing now and so we made sure everyone understood :D

yayyy wednesday its the last day of the week!

MoTiOn!i!i!i!

this week in science we made graphs! yay graphs!
on monday we cleared up the whole thing about movieng and people. since none of us understood, we do now!
on tuesday we did a lot online. we looked at the website and did like 4 worksheets on graphs and stuff. it helped understand more. we then finihed that for homework and more!
on wednesday we clarified the usage of trendlines and graphs. the trend lines do exactly what theyre called. they show the trends in the data. we also clasified the way that u draw graphs.
CONSTANT RATE- straight line, moving in one general direction, no curnve
SPEEDING UP- a curve in the line going up. not staaight.
SLOWING DOWN- rising and then a straight line.
NOT MOVNG- completely straight.
what a fun week!
