ENERGY

 

This week in science we have been focusing on mapping energy transfers. We discussed the transfer of energy on a roller coaster, when lighting a match, when using a pull back car toy, the list goes on and on. Below you will see an energy transfer and the why/how behind it.

 

Object or thing I choose to observe: was my chinchilla

 

The mapping of the energy transfers: Are motion sound motion gpe sound

 

A paragraph that explains the how and why of each step of the energy transfer(s) I observed: That the energy repeats 

CEREAL BOX CHALLENGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today’s Challenge: Create a new kind of cereal and its box. Using a piece of poster board, you and your team need to create your own box, with the goal of having the largest possible volume.

 

Teamwork Rubric Focus (Participation):

 

My goal for participation today within my team is…That Everyone talks.

 

My Individual Plan <insert photo of sketch and/or type out a plan> My plan is to cut squares in the paper to make my box I will color it after I m done cutting the paper. 

 

Why I think my plan will be successful: I  think it will not work because I don’t feel confident in this project and myself. 

 

Our Group’s Plan <insert photo or sketch and/or type out plan> cut the paper in half and make it into a circle and each roll it up and cut it and make more circles.

 

 We chose this plan because…We combined both of are ideas into one. 

 

Possible challenges that may come up during construction… it could rip up and break.

 

Each team member will be responsible for…writing and documenting draw and one will cut and fold.

 

After the Build
