Monday April 9th 2018

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: Today we talked about relating units of measurements. This was a difficult concept at first but we worked really hard to understand the circle chart. We first discussed how to each unit relates to each other. How many mm are in a cm and how my cm are in a m and so on. We did a lot of examples of converting units of measures and how to figure out what to divide and multiple by. We used a circle chart (that everyone took home for homework) to help us remember what to multiple and divide our numbers by. If we were having trouble multiplying and dividing we also practiced how to move the decimal place over. It is important to know how much we are multiplying or dividing by when trying to decide how many times and in what direction the decimal is moving over.

UOI: Today we talked about balanced and unbalanced forces. We watched a video and then did an experiment! In groups everyone made newspaper boats. Then we put them in water and tested our boats. We had lots of fun! Here is a summary of what happened:

Balanced when there is no movement and the pressure from the boat and the ocean causes no movement

Unbalanced when the weight of the boat is more than the pressure of the ocean causes it to sink

Balanced again when the weight of the boat and the ocean floor are equal and no movement.

Balanced= NO MOVEMENT
Unbalanced =MOVEMENT








Lunch/Recess

Have a good night!
