Weekly blog

Monday: Today was the first day of quarter 4. We started off with cleaning our binder, I didn't have a lot of things except for a lot of labs. We kept the all the stuff about unit 3. After that we did a  science starter which was about an equation that we  learned in the begging of unit 3. It is 1/2 mass velocity squared. Then we applied the equation to a word problem. After that Mrs.G let us do our vocabulary. It was 5 terms so it was really easy to get finished. After that we worked more on our mechanical energy lab. That was all we did today.

Tuesday: Today was a great day. Today we got a new lab, and and we talked about the new egg drop lab. We started off class with our daily science starter. It was about calculating potential energy. I felt good that I got the answer right.  After that we took notes on the section 2 part of unit 3. After that we drew a few diagrams about the different types of energy. Potential energy and Kinetic. After that we got the egg drop lab. We choose groups and we reviewed the rubric. I am in a group with Chad and Jake. I feel like we have a solid idea. That is all we did today. 

Wednesday: No blog today!

Thursday; Today was a shortened out class because we had to do the fun run starting at 12:00. We started off with the daily science starter which was about using an equation to solve the word problem.  After that we jumped straight in to start making our device for the egg drop project. I had to saw off a cap to open a bottle. Tomorrow we are hopefully going to finish it Then when we comeback we are going to do the testing. That was all we did today since it was a short class.

Friday: Today was a really fun day. We finished our project and we got to put the egg in it! We started with our daily science starter which was about the conversion and conduction of heat. I already learned most of these words in fifth grade last year. After that we jumped right into finishing our egg drop project. I had to finish sawing of the plastic of the bottle. While I was doing that Chad and Jake were mixing the corn syrup and the conditioner. After that we put bubble wrap and duct tape around it,then we were ready to go. We are going to start testing in two weeks. Since Spring break is next week!

Improvements: I think this week was awesome, and I could improve on thinking of ideas for improving the egg drop project. I could also improve on my organization of my locker.
