Welcome to a new unit. We are currently discussing Force and the different types of forces. Today, we made a Circle Map, thinking map, of a list of different examples of things that are pushed and pulled. The three main types of forces that we discussed and went in depth on are Gravity, Magnetism, and Friction.

Today in the computer lab you watched the Brainpop video on Forces as well. After you have watched the video come back here and answer the following questions:

What is something new you learned today either in the classroom or from the Brainpop video? Please explain what Gravity, Magnetism and Friction are.

Good luck, Mrs. E

  1. Friction is caused when 2 objects slide against each other.Force is mostly everywhere.#6

  2. #18 friction makes things stop

  3. #1 i never knew that fossil fuel causes pollutoin

  4. #1 i didnt know earth has so much gravity.

  5. Gravity,friction,magnetism and force are mostly the same because they all have a push or pull.#6

  6. Mrs.E today was fun learning about Force. Magnitism is when a object has a magnetic pull, gravity is a motion i learned about how the moon pulls the waves

  7. #1 gravity is either a push or a pull.

  8. i learned that friction is something like magnites but its not it alot more to it and ialso learned about gravity that can pull apples down from tress this is a good subject and i like it very very much!!! #2

  10. when a moving object hits a non moving object it makes it accelerate. gravity is the force that pushes everything to the ground. magnetism is the force from opposite poles coming from 2 magnets. friction is the rubbing of one object against another #23

  11. gravity,and friction are pretty much the samething

  12. I learned that force is anything that accelerate#22

  13. magnets, and gravity both push or pull

  14. I learned that you create friction when you rub your hands together.gravity helps pull stuff to earth.magnetism is like when magnets repel and attract.friction is like when your in a bumper car and you stop#26

  15. I learned that gravity pulls faster at diffrent hieghts gravity pulls things to the earth magnitism is like magnets thay pull and push friction is when something rubs together #27

  16. gravity magnestim and fricton are mostly the same because they ethier have a push or pull.#22

  17. Gravity is a push or pull,magnetism is also a push or pull,and friction is when something stops you.#12

  18. Examples of forces, typing, opening a door, pushing,Etc.

  19. I learned that a friction is a type of heat. Then I learned about gravity and that it keep us from floating .I olso learned about magnetism and it pull.#20

  20. I learned that in order to stop the car they use friction ##### 21

  21. 1.Gravity can pull down you down to earth. 2.Gravity is a force that pulls you to earth.friction is when two things create heat

  22. direction can also change the speed of something and it is one of the three things from velocity.Friction is when two different objects rub together and make heat.magnetism is two things attract to each other.gravity is something that pulls something down.#25

  23. Something that I learned about gravity is that the sun has more gravity than earth.Northpoel and southpoel atract to each other.When you rubb your hands that makes friction.

  24. Very good comments guys, however; please remember that a FORCE is a push or a pull and GRAVITY is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth, a few of you missed that. Remember that FRICTION is two things rubbing together, but also remember that it creates heat!!! #23, 26, and 27 great posts!!!!!

  25. what i learned was about friction it is when something is rubbed to another thing it create heat like when you rubbed your hands together #5

  26. GRAVITY
    Gravity is a force that pulls you down on earth

  27. Examples of energy , typing , opening a door , etc. Gravity pulls you to the ground. Waves are made when the gravity of the moon pulls it up, and when the wave pushes away it loses the moons gravity, so earth's gravity pulls it down. Friction is made when two objects rub together. The rugher the surface the more friction, smoother objects give less friction. force is a push or pull, examples, pulling rope , throwing a ball, and many, many more. Another example is pushing the breaks in a car, this is friction because two things push down on the wheel applying friction making the car stop.

  28. I learned about how the three force are like the forces is gravity,magnitizum,and friction.friction means two things rubbed together to make heat.then it is gravity.gravity means something pulled straight to the ground.Then it is magnictizim.magnitisum means that it is a push or a pull.#24

  29. electrons flow through curcuit. #18

  30. #1 I never knew that theres so many types of reflections that dont reflect and do reflect

    ReplyDelete
  31. #18 there are so many kinds of reflections

  32. I learned that the force of gravity can pull any object to the ground.
