Monday is Martin Luther King day. We will celebrate everything he has done for us as a civil rights leader. He has done many great things. One of his best accomplishments was his “I Have a Dream” speech. He has done other great things like becoming the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference […]
Launching and Graphing Rocket #2
I missed school the day we launched, so I can’t write about that, but the graphing was fun. Although I missed the launch, I was able to find out the results from graphing the rocket. I wasn’t here for the launch, so I can’t write about it. I can show you the video. Our […]
Designing and Building Rocket #2
We began to work on our second rocket. It was hard to only change one thing, because we wanted to change more than one thing. Our second rocket was easier to design then our first, because we copied our last design, and then changed one part, to compare which one was better. The challenging part […]
Designing and Building Rocket #3
We had to design and build a third rocket to launch. I am here to tell you how we did that. My team decided to make a shorter body because it will be lighter. It was easier to design a third rocket because we had a lot more experience than before; we also copied our […]
Launching and Graphing Rocket #1
We are up to launching the rocket. It was really fun. After the launch, we got to graph our results. The launch was really fun. My job was to count down the time. I was also a clinometer reader for group #1. Group #6 was clinometer – reading for my group. The launch happened, and […]
Designing and Building Rocket #1
We’ve been doing this unit for a month now, and I think it’s really fun. It’s called Rocketry. We basically divide into groups, and then we design, build, and launch a rocket. First we had to do research. All we had to do was watch videos, and then take notes. We learned about lift, thrust, […]
Rocketry
Hi. I have to write a blog post about rocketry. It is a science unit we’ve been doing for a couple weeks now. We all worked with our tables. An inspiration board is basically exactly what it sounds like. A board that inspires you. We can put quotes, images, diagrams, and sentences. I am supposed […]
Identity Bags & Map
Hi. My teacher told me to write a blog post, so here I am writing a blog post. We did a project called Identity Bags where we put 5 – 8 things in a bag, and then explain to the class why you put those items in your bag. What I found out about myself […]
“King George, What Was His Problem?”
We are reading a book called “King George, What Was His Problem?” by Steve Sheinkin in class. I like the way that he tells it with all the details. For example, he says when Paul Revere finishes the Midnight ride he has a snack. A normal author wouldn’t do that. I think this author is […]
Ignite Presentation Review
We did a thing called an Ignite about the American Revolution. We had to write 7 slides about what we did in this unit. They each had to be fifteen seconds, adding up to a minute and forty-five seconds. I could have done better by speaking louder and slower. Well, too late now. they are […]
