English Assignment #1:
I chose this work because I think it's a great example on a step by step on how to solve the inequality.
The strengths that I've shown in this is that I can show my work fully and get the right answer.
I could've been neater with my work
The thing I want my teacher to know is that I tried my best to show all my work and how I solved it.
Math Assignment #2
Newton's Rocket
First we did we got rid of the water in the water bottle, then we started to tape up the straws to the rocket can stand up, then after that we poured vinegar in a funnel into our bottle rocket and taped up the cork to seal the bottle up. We went outside to put the baking soda into the bottle. We placed the baking soda packet into the bottle and shook the bottle up and then flipped it over. Our experiment didn't go right because of a few reasons like lack of force pushing out of the bottle, so the bottle wasn't shaken well. Another reason is because we were too aggressive and the straws bent, so the bottle fell over. This project was an example of space in the elements of art, because of the fact that the pressure was making space for oxygen or air to make room. This project also included an example of color with the different color straws there were.
Our group built a small rocket model to demonstrate the concept behind Newton's Third Law of Motion. We followed a tutorial and used simple materials to design and construct our rocket. During the process, we focused on building a structure that could show how force and motion work together. We carefully assembled the parts of the rocket and made sure everything was secured so the rocket could move when force was applied.
The scientific principle shown in our project is Newton’s Third Law, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In our rocket demonstration, when force was pushed out in one direction, it caused the rocket to move in the opposite direction. This is the same concept that real rockets use to launch into space. The force produced by the rocket engine pushes gases downward, and the rocket moves upward as a reaction to that force.
Through this project we learned how Newton’s laws explain real-world motion. Building the rocket also helped us practice problem-solving and understanding how forces affect movement. Even though our model was simple, it helped us better understand how rockets use physics to move and how Newton’s Third Law applies to real-life technology.
Newton's Cradle
Newton’s cradle is the desk toy with a row of metal balls hanging in a straight line. When you lift one ball on the end and let it go, it hits the others and makes the ball on the opposite end swing out. A combination of two physics ideas: conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. When the first ball hits, its motion (momentum) and energy travel through the middle balls almost instantly, even though those balls barely move. That’s why only the ball on the far end swings out. If you pull back two balls, then two balls on the other side will swing out. The system stays balanced because the total energy and momentum are being transferred through the line of balls.
Now my group created a half-working cradle by following a **Newton's Cradle tutorial and building our own model step by step. We used materials such as marbles, tape, hot glue, popsicle sticks, and string. First, we hot glued the popsicle sticks together to form a cube-shaped frame that would hold the cradle. After that, we attached pieces of string to each marble using hot glue, making sure the strings were secure. We then taped the strings to the top of the cube structure so the marbles could hang and swing freely. To make the structure stronger, we added another layer of popsicle sticks on top and glued them in place with hot glue.
Although our cradle did not work perfectly, it still demonstrated the basic idea behind Newton’s laws and how energy moves through objects in motion. Building Newton’s cradle is a simple way to see how energy and motion move through objects during a collision, and also helped us learn about problem-solving, teamwork, and how careful construction affects how well a scientific model works.: Our Cradle Video .
