The topic is important to learn about because you need to understand that just because people have cranial facial differences does not mean they should treat them differently.
Science Unit Reflection: How does motion energy change in a collision?
How does motion energy move and change?
Motion energy moves and changes depending on how high it is if it is on a high ramp it will go faster but if it is in a low ramp it will go slower.
How does speed effect motion energy?
Speed effects motion energy the faster an object is the more motion energy it will have. The more slower the motion energy the more the less motion energy.
What causes moving objects to slow down?
If the surface is smooth the faster it will go if the surface is rough and bumpy it will go slower.
How can we protect our brains in a collision?
We can protect our brains in a collision by helmets. A helmet protects your head in a collision. If you fall down your helmet will protect your brain.
Did you like working in a group?
I did not like working in groups because my group was always fighting and I like working by myself.
What worked well for u?

Yes they were very helpful whenever I got an idea the materials would help me.
What would you change?
I would add some tissues at the last unit tissues helped a lot I would add some foil to put outside the cups.
Which lesson was your favorite why?
My favorite lesson was the egg drop because it was really fun making the helmets and scary to see if it cracked. I also would add tissues on the outside of the big cups.
What did you learn about motion energy during this unit?
I learned that motion energy slows down with different surfaces and faster with different surfaces.
Persuasive
What people need to know about is that tigers are being endangered so we should help them. Here is why we should help them: it will help the environment and it will increase the animal. Hope you enjoy it!!
Tigers are going extinct so we should help them. Tigers play an important role in maintaining the harmony of the planet’s ecosystem. By preying on herbivores. Tigers help keep the balance between the prey animals and the forest vegetation which they feed upon. Tigers have lost an estimation of 95% of historical range. This is important because by habitat loss a lot of tigers lose their homes and they need big space to live. Some of them die because they don’t have enough space to live. Tigers are important animals but some people do threaten them. Here are some threats to tigers. Their habitat has been destroyed, degraded and fragmented by human activities. Tigers need wide space to live. Another one is climate change. There is much more.
Tigers will be endangered but if we help them it will help the environment and it will increase the animals. Here are some ways to help them. You can protect their habitat since they need big space to live. Tigers are going extinct. 3 species are already extinct there are only 6 species left. There are only 4,500 tigers left and that’s all of the species added altogether! This makes me realize that each of the species are really less. Did you know that there are only 200 white tigers left in the world and all of them are in zoos and theme parks.
Tigers are being extinct so we should help them. It will help the environment and it will increase the number of animals. I hope you can help the tigers because they are really important animals!!!!!!
Ignite!
We did an ignite it was about weather research there were 5 weather events. Hurricanes,Tornadoes. I got tornadoes there were 5 subtopics which were cause, effect, prevention and safety, how are they measured and important events. My group decided what each of our subtopics would be. I did not really know which one to pick while I was thinking about what should I be my group had already decided what they were and I wanted to be how they are measured. The next day we started to research Mrs. Rickard gave us a lot of websites to research. It was hard for me to research because there was not a lot of information about how tornadoes are measured when I was researching tornadoes. I found a really good book that had 2 to 3 paragraphs about how tornadoes are measured the book gave me tons of information. I researched for about a week. After we researched we did a narritive on our chromebook the narritive was what we were going to talk about in our presentation. After we did our narritive we did our scirpt which was timing out we had 30 seconds to say everything we needed to say. We did a stopwatch to see if we could say it in 30 seconds.
I could not say my script in 30 seconds so Mrs. Rickard helped me shorten it. Finally I could say it in 3o seconds. For homework we had we had weather research at home I was going to memorize my script at home I kept on saying it over and over again in my head so I would memorize it and I would not forget it for me I thought that the memorizing part was easy for me because I memorized it in a day. The next few days we added slides. Our group members had 2 slides to put pictures that matched what we were going to say each of the slides were 15 seconds. We kept on memorizing our script for a week. After we memorized it fully we worked with our groups and said what we were going to say. After about 3 weeks we started presenting our presentation to the whole class. I thought I was going to mess up but I did it good. We did it for about 2 weeks. The day before we were actually doing our presentation in front of our parents we practiced where we were going to sit what order was the groups going in. Also, Mr. Casal our tech teacher came in and we did a practice of the whole classes slides combined and Mr. Casal did a video of all of the groups and posted it to youtube.
Finally it was the day where we were going to do our presentation in front of our parents. I thought I was going to do really really bad. When we were doing the presentation and it was my turn to say my script I was doing it great!! But I said something I was not going to say. Mrs. Rickard said that if we mess up just don’t say out loud that you messed up just keep on saying what you were going to say. After the presentation we talked to our parents for a while. Then we went back to the classroom and Mrs. Rickard said that we did our presentation really well.
Tsunami/Tornado Venn Diagram
I did a presentation on tornadoes after we did the presentation we did a venn diagram. I was how are they measured for tornadoes when we did the venn diagram I picked tsunami and I did research on how are they measured for tsunamis. When I did the venn diagram I did the same thing the tools did and put them in the middle then I wrote how they are different from each other.
