Science
The past few weeks in science, we have been working on
magnets and force. The students have been doing several tests with
their table partners, trying to make things float and stay up in the
air. We have also been working on the levitating train and Maglev
(Magnet Levitation). After having seen a video showing a levitating
train, the class' task was to find out what made the train levitate. As a
class, we have come up with the theory that the force levitating the
train is most likely magnetism. We have been drawing diagrams, taking
notes, asking questions, and doing tests for how reasonable our answers
are, and if the train is truly being levitated by magnets. If so, how?
Math
This
week in math we have started a new unit on rational numbers and adding,
subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. We have also been working
on converting fractions to decimals and back again. The majority of the
work has been review. We are also continuing our work on our integer
projects, which will be due later this week. The games should be tested
by two students or family members by the time it is due, (Thursday,
October 5th), and all parts should be finished and put together.
