How does motion energy change in a collision?

  • Motion energy moves by a force moving it and changes because it is converted into light, heat, or sound.
  • If there is more speed, there is more force.
  •  Air resistance and friction cause moving objects to slow down.
  • To protect our brains during a collision, wear a helmet.
  • I liked working in a group, and sharing our ideas worked well, while the ideas didn’t.
  • I liked using materials, and I would change some of our ideas.
  • My favorite lesson was the egg drop lesson because it was fun.
  • I learned how motion energy changes.

Persuasive essay

It was fun doing this. I had to research our topic. I was able to search on google and all scarsdale school sites. I then wrote every part down, like the bullets, the intro and the conclusion. I worked and worked, until I was able to write it down on our notepad. It took a long time to finish this and the next step. Finally I could type. I typed everything down, and it was exausting. I finally finished.

4th Grade Ignite Reflection

I worked for a long time on my Ignite. This is what what I did. First I got our topic and subtopic. The topics were Hurricanes, Tornados,  Our group was Volcanoes, and my subtopic was Cause. I researched until I had enough information. The first week or so I barely got to research. There was also thanksgiving break so I couldn’t do anything. I researched the cause on Epic, Kiddle, all the websites on the library databases, and more. But certain information would not work because it either was not correct or it was another subtopic.

Then, I typed a narrative using our words. It was pretty simple because I had all the research; I now just had to type it. Later, I did my script. The script was a template on google docs which had the slides, time, what I say, and what the audience sees. I literally just had to copy, then paste. When I finished that, I started to time everything. I had to cut my narrative and try speaking faster. I then practiced and practiced.

These are my easiest and hardest parts. The hardest part for me was the practice because everyone was arguing. the easiest part was the narrative because I basically knew it all in my head. I liked this because I wanted to learn more about Volcanoes. I had a lot of fun.

Then, it was finally the day. The parents came in. I then waited for the other groups. Finally, it was our turn. I said my parts, and I did it!  This is the 4th grade Volcano Ignite. The Volcano group made two videos, this is one of them.  I really hope you like it too.

 

Welcome To My Blog!

Welcome to my blog!

This is a space for me to write and publish work I have done from 3rd grade forward. Everything I publish here is stuff I am proud of and is part of my learning process as I grow as a student and a writer. I will be able to look back on this blog as I get older and have a long portfolio of my work for when I am ready to go to college.
