Home Of The Brave

Gol is a cow, but Katherine Applegate (author of Home of The Brave) also uses her as a symbol. How does Gol represent Kek’s past, present, and possibly his future? Gol symbolizes family and is kek’s last hope on family, Gol even means family where Kek comes from back in Africa. Gol shows kek’s present by Gol is weary and lonely and that is how Kek feels. Gol is his future by if he leaves Gol will have nothing and neither will Kek. Today on October 26 we finished Home Of The BRAVE and I saw how Gol represents kek’s future with starting a new life in the zoo and now that kek’s mom is here it will be a new life for Kek.Image result for home of the bravefrom google.

Rocket

My group worked hard on sanding the bottles and making the wings and taping the wings to the bottle. We worked hard on cutting cardboard and hot gluing the wings into place. We have worked on making our rocket for about one week. We started with collecting bottles for our group. Then We started to draw out what we thought could be a rocket design for our rocket. Then we made the wings and the place to put the wings on. we hot glued them and now we have our rocket. Before we even made the rocket though we had to research the three laws of motion and find out how rockets work and we put it on a inspiration board and this is it.

Just yesterday we used kilometers they measure how many meters our rocket goes up. Just now on the 10/20/17 we have got our nose cones for our rockets and our nose cone for our group was to big. We three -d- printed them and now we are making a knew one. It was a learning experience for us but I hope our second one will be good. Two days ago we were discusing about what jobs people will have and we are just putting the final touches of the rocket together and can’t wait for launch on Monday stay here to know what happened.

Just yesterday on the 23 of October my class went out for our first rocket launch. Each group made cool rockets and blasted them into the sky. My group got the highest with the height of 57.5 meters our second launch is on the 30 of October stay here to know what happened. At the bottom there is a picture and a video of our launch yesterday. Today on October 27th 2017 we made our knew rocket ready to launch on Monday October 30th.

Science

My class has been working hard on researching Isaac Newton and have now started on making water rockets. We are are using all different kinds of material. Cardboard, styrofoam, duck tape and bottles etc. We are hoping to launch our rockets on the 23 of October. We have also taken our Isaac Newton research and made it into a timeline of his life. I have also been looking forward to the things that we will do later in science.

We could be doing anything from making a moving robot to a fan but right now we have finished our Isaac Newton Infographic and working on our final touches on our rocket and ready to launch in a week. You might be thinking how we would get the rocket to launch we are using a bike pump, a launch pad and a rope that makes the rocket get out from the metal bars that are holding it in place. Together it looks like the picture at the bottom and that is how our rockets are going to launch. Stay on my blog for more science.
