Magnetic Cannon

I learned that magnetic force will transfer energy and propel the metal marble forward. Some questions that I still have are: Could we make this at a life-sized scale, and if so what would we use this for? What would happen if we chance the materials it was made out of (but it would still be magnetic)? I think that what I thought was really important was that in some ways it worked and in some ways it didn't and I would like to know why it didn't work when you put two balls to start, etc. I learned that from this process you are able to dive deeper into topics and it is able to help you understand the overall concept and everything about it. The value of learning to ask questions is that when you ask questions it allows you to reach out further and also it allows you to find out more about the topic you are studying

What force moved the continents apart?

I think that the nickel and iron rubbing together is what pushed the continents apart. I think that when they were rubbing the force of their magnetic field when it pushes outward it forces waves of magma out and shifted the continents apart. And since the magnetic field is starting to change I think that the magma changes with it because it is right above where the magnetic field is made and held. So my theory is that when the nickel and iron rub together to make the field the cause and effect method kicks into place where when the field is created it is pushed outwards and slowly pushes the magma with it that also explains why the continents are so far apart because the magnetic field is constantly being held and made so that it is continuously forcing magma out.

The Compost Project (Boston)

The problem is waste management, also social inequality. They are using food, paper and waste to make better soil. The technique they are using is vermicomposting which is the use of worm to make healthier soil. It has made better soil for people to grow their gardens and also got people more included in the green life, you it brings up your part in the community and social status.

Water Project Questions & Comments

Michael: I like how you we so well prepared and spoke well with confidence, but maybe you should have added more detail and explain any funny things to make it more exiting. Max: you had lots of detail and explained very well on your website and you problems, but  you just needed to slow down and not pace and move so much and also stutter.  Kai Warner: You were very good at explaining your process and goal, and you talked more instead off reading and that was very good. but you could have giving more detail about the class and what and why you got the money.  Alan & Sebastian: I like how you explained well and gave the full process with some evidence, but you could have included pictures and maybe a video of the event.  Eli & Alan: I like how you showed you game and hole process nicely and weren't going crazy from being nervous, but you could have explained your time with the kids better.  Ritvik & Jacob: You guys did a good job a...

Water project #6

Now we are on week 4 and we are starting to work on our poster I will post the progress or the pages we will have to print out to put on it. Week 1 When Mr Emerson brought up the topic of the Water Project, everyone was excited and we thought that he was bonkers when he gave everyone a sheet of paper in which we have to fill out our interest, skills and talents. We were all in a table group, Ella, Tori and Kyra, so when we started talking about it, we found out that we are all very similar! All of us love reading, and exploring. That we love animals, crafts, nature and that we aren’t afraid of public speaking and we don/t mind getting dirty. We can play sports well, cook, bake, do gardening,paint and explore places. We figured that we all have very similar talents and that we like all the same things. We started   Water Project (Tori Duckworth, Ella Hoyt and Me) Week 1 30 March, Wednesday: We didn't do much, we just started thinking about what we want to do and came up ...

Guess what!!!!! Today we presented!!!!! So this morning the teacher emailed me back and said we could do it today during our science block. Well I told Ella and Kyra and we are sorta freaked out because we thought that we weren't ready. Before we went we had to print out our riddle paper, and well your going to love this. IT DIDN'T WORK. But then we realised it was on the wrong printer (oops). And when I was getting it to work I told Krya to run and get my phone for photos. Well actually sort of forced her because I was in a panic state. So when it finished printing we ran out of the library and sprinted up the stares. So then when we got there we realised we were 10 minutes early. So we sat out side and "tried" to practice. But Kyra had got out a paper and was taking notes and as me and Ella got slide 3. We both started talking really fast to Krya telling her it was her turn and it went on like that for the rest of the time we were practicing. When we were a...
