Law of Inertia

L.I: To create a DLO that explains the Law of Inertia.

This week for Reading we have created a collaborative DLO explaining what the law of inertia is. Who creator of the law of inertia was Issac Newton. Isaac Newton was born january the 4th 1643, he died on the  31st march 1727. There are three laws of Inertia if an object stays in rest or stays at a constant speed this motion will keep on going until unless some type of pull of force stops the object or moves it. We did this in groups I was with Leroy, Fau, Ellenora and Matthew.

 L.I: To understand the meaning behind the acronym MRSCGREN



Our body's has a lot of qualities and different features. This week we were learning about the qualities of different living things which is MRS C GREN. This means Movement, Respiration, sensitivity, cell, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrients. We had to explain the meaning of these different words and explain how the process works with living things. The thing that I liked about this task was how I got work in a group with my friends instead of explaining all those words.

Footprint Observations

Learning Intention: To make observations about Footprints.

This week for science, we were learning about observations, and observations are watching the behavior  . We decided to try to guess what happened by reading pictures, or trying to guess what happened by looking at the pictures. We had three different observations to guess. The first one had big prints, and little prints next to each other. We thought and guessed that it was a mother and it's baby. The second one had two different prints, crossing over each other, and the all going around in a circle. We thought they were fighting, or making a home. When we finished and all agreed it was a fight, because because only the big tracks were coming out, and not the little ones. The last one had the same except they both went into a circle, but didn't leave.

What is Science?

L.I To summarise the information.

L.I: to find the most vital ideas from the information to help us answer the question what is science.



This week for reading we have been learning about what science is. We started off with writing down what we already knew about science on sticky notes, then we watched a video to find out more. While watching the video we used the sticky notes to make notes. The video explains the areas of science, the difference between basic science and applied science. One thing we found really interesting was that you use chemistry, physics, and biology when you make a lime juice from fresh limes. 

We negotiated and shared ideas to create a summary, we used the sticky notes to create sentences for the summary. Our group worked collaboratively to get these activities completed. We enjoyed doing this activity as we were able to practise negotiating and taking time to respect everybody's ideas. We have summarised our learning below.

Science is about getting knowledge from asking questions . It is divided into 3 areas: Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Science is both basic and applied, basic science using what you know. Science is either beneficial or harmful depending on how you view and use it. 

Questions we want to ask: 

Where can science be used?
Why is science important to our world ?
When do scientists ask questions?
