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.

Monday: Today was an awesome day in science class. We played a review game and I feel like I am going to ace the test tomorrow.  I feel really ready because I have been studying all weekend. So we started with our daily science starter which was about the five equations that we need know and also the units. After that we talked about the test a little bit and that we should do really good because it is the last test of the quarter.  After that we started playing grudge ball. My team was Chad, Ben, Lauren, and Sebastian.  I got my questions right, and all the other teams decided to dominate Will's team.  So after playing for a while the three teams left were tied. That was all we did today.

Tuesday: Today was the big day! The day that really counted. And fortunately I feel really ready. First we started off with the daily science starter which was about the centripetal acceleration and the equations. Then we started the test. The test had 39 questions or so. It was a little hard in the beginning of the plug and chug questions. But I still think I got through it pretty well. We spent about the whole class time doing it. I feel like I did a good job on it. That was all we did today.

Wednesday: Today was a great day! We got back our tests and I got a 94! I am so happy. So we started off by reviewing the test and then we did our daly since starter.  The science starter was about an intro to unit 3. After that we took some notes about unit 3 section one. It was about kinetic energy. We also learned 3 more new equations about how to calculate kinetic energy. After that Mrs.G gave us time to do our 8 new vocab words, tweet, and blog. That was all we did today.

Thursday: Today was a good day. I feel really tired but I am happy that we have no school tomorrow.  We got a new lab and got to test kinetic and potential energy energy.  First we started off with the science starter which was about potential and different types of energy. Then we went straight into starter off the new lab which id called mechanical energy lab. I am in a group with Sebastian, Lauren, and Keira. We didn't finish the data part but we did finish the part where we are supposed to fill in the potential energy. That was all we really did today.

Improvements:  I could improve on staying more attentive and pain attention to the notes when we are reviewing and learning them.

Monday: Today we didn't do a lot except for watch videos of Science Olympiad  and the SO team got there picture taken on front o our banner. We won first place in the region! That was a great achievement knowing that our team is only 18 including me, and the other people had 100 people competing. I had so much fun doing it, but we have the states competition next month. So I am looking forward to competing in that! That was all we really did today. 

Tuesday: Today I was really tired in class, but I tried to hang in there. Also, our seat arrangement in the class has changed. Anyways, we started off with our daily science starter and then we went straight into doing our study guid and then we did our lab. The science started was pretty easy when we got the equation in it, the new equation is work equals force times distance. This equation is really easy to remember. After that we started our study guide, since we have eighteen people in our class, we did eighteen questions. For me, the study guide was really easy. After that we finished the data table part of our lab. Since Chad wasn't here we just finished it without him. That was all we did today.

Wednesday: Today I was wide awake and ready for class! Today we finished our lab and we got a new one. We started off with a really easy science starter, the science starter was really easy for us once we got the equation. Our new equation is power equals work over the time it took to do it. After putting that in our equation sheet, we went straight into finishing our unit 2 notes. The last two slides were about work and power. We learned the equation for power and we learned more about work. Then we did 10 questions on the study guide. The test is next Tuesday. I am sure I am going to ace the test because I feel like i got the concepts and I understand the content.  The study guide quests were really easy for me. After that we finished the centripetal force lab. I finished the rest of the questions and I checked it over and turned it in. Then we got a new lab called work and power lab. We only had to answer the first page and question one on the back page. That was all we did today.  

Thursday: Today was a fun day, we started a new lab. So we started off the day with our daily science starter and then we went straight into our lab.  The science starter was about power and work, since we have a test next Tuesday we were reviewing. Again, I feel really ready for it.   This is a picture of the power and work lab that we did today.  We recorded that data for the arm strength today and at home, I am recording that leg strength. So far this is a really fun lab.  That was all we did today.    


Friday: Today was a good day, we finished our work and power lab. Before that we did our daily science starter. It was really easy for me, and it was a about work. After that we did some review questions about the unit 2. Then went straight into the lab. We checked over our data and we completed the data table. After that we did the questions on the lab. These questions were a little hard but I still answered them good. Today was a good day since it is Friday!
