January 7th, 2010

This week in Science we began talking about Forces and some of the different types of forces, such as gravity, magnetism, pushes, pulls, buoyancy etc. A force is a push or pull on an object, so gravity is the forces that PULLS objects to the Earth, Magnetism is a forces that PULLS magnetic objects together, etc. We discussed friction, and how it is the rubbing of two objects together that causes heat, we demonstrated this by furiously rubbing our hands together and feeling the warmth in our hands, we discussed how this is created on our tires when we drive, and one of the students made an astute connection with bowling, and the lanes being slicked to create LESS FRICTION!!! WOW, GREAT JOB GUYS!!!

We added these words to our vocabulary rings this week:

melting point 102
boiling point 103
freezing point 104
force 105
friction 106
air resistance 107
motion 108
