Week of April 25th

This week in science we learned about astronomy. It was really really cool. We went through all the solar system and at the end we saw all the different galaxies. We learn that the planets are EXTREMELY SMALL compared to the sun and the distance between planets is ginormous. We also learn that there are many dwarf planet like Pluto. Also, all planets make elliptical rotations, not perfect circles. We even learned the the Moon pulls the ocean up causing high tide.


Then in class we went over Newtons third law: Ever action has an equal and opposite reaction. We did many expiriment that support his law. First we had Brett and I throw a bowling ball to eachother while sitting on carts. Everytime I threw it and he caught it we both went back an equal distance. Then to top it of Mr. Finley ask us if one person could apply 10 newtons of force backward and the other 5 while both holding two spring scales. As hard as they tried every time they could not get it. On Friday we had our test. I know I knew the material but I think I was too confused on the wording of the questions and answers. I am not sure how I did, but I think I did not as well as I would have had hoped.
