Did you use the websites provided to you for this activity? Did they help? Explain. Not really because of some websites did not work 

 

How do you think you can use your Cornell notes in the future? For research and tests/quizzes

 

What are 3 new things you learned from researching the colonies in this way? (This one you can just bullet point if you’d like) they turned into states and there were stories and very dark things

Why did we do this activity? to learn about colines 

 

How did you research for this activity? using google

 

What were the biggest challenges you encountered during this activity? finding the right website 

 

How did you overcome your challenges? searching every website 

 

Testing our Rapunzel creations

What materials did you choose for your build and why?

pipe cleaners rope paper  model magic for Rapunzel

Here is a picture of my plan: sorry does not work 

 

Here is a picture of my first attempt at the building process: doesn’t work I’m sorry

 

While you test:

 

What are you noticing?

Rapunzel weighs much

What things are working?

tree chair

What things are not working?

rope and Rapunzel

 

How will you tweak this? Make this better? (Be specific and detailed!)

tighten rope  remake Repunzel

Do you need any new materials? If so, WHY? NO! just fixing materials. 

 

Sketch your new design with labels on a piece of paper. Make sure your drawing is detailed and specifically labeled.

Insert your sketch here: 

 

Why will this new design work better than your first attempt? What is your evidence? fixing materials like Rapunzel and the zip line evidence picture.

Building a Insulator

This week in science, we worked in teams to create a water bottle insulator that kept the water inside the bottle the coldest for the longest amount of time. First, we planned what we would need, how we would build it, and sketched our first design. Next, we tested our design to see how well our insulator worked. Below you will see the results and how we will improve our first insulator to make it even better!

 

An insulator is… something transfers heat energy slower

Here is a picture of our original design: 

The materials we used were…  foil foam cup rubber band tape

 

 

Results! What was the temperature of your water to begin with? After 15 minutes? After 35 minutes? 55  start after 51

 

Time Temperature (in Fahrenheit)
0 minutes 51
After 15 minutes 53
After 35 minutes 55

 

The engineering process includes thinking about how to make your design better and re-building your product. The improvements that we will make to our insulator are…

MORE TAPE AND FOIL

These changes will improve my insulator because…  because it will stay cold

 

 

 

New results:

 

Time Temperature (in Fahrenheit)
0 minutes  40
After 15 minutes  43
After 35 minutes  44

Predicting the Size of the Result

  1. Here is the word problem my partner and I solved:
  2. Here is a picture of my visual that represents the problem:
  3. Here is my equation(s) with a variable to represent the unknown amount:
  4. When predicting my answer, I know my answer will be smaller or larger because…larger because of cutting in it into more pieces.
  5. Here is a picture of the work I did to solve the problem:
  6. My answer and label are…120 pieces 

Yoshi has a rope 30 feet long. He must cut it into pieces that are each ¼ foot long. Will he get more or fewer than 30 pieces? How do you know? How many pieces will Yoshi get?
