*awikkywikky* SCIENCE.

What science ideas did you learn?

This week in science class, we learned about force which is another way of describing motion.
We learned how to draw force diagrams
for different situations. Such as Curtis holding a basketball in one hand and a basket ball in another, or a picture frame hanging from a nail. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to participate in the experiment where the class got to go outside and push a car. Instead, I came back to an empty classroom, and did whatever I wanted.

How did you learn these ideas?

We learned these ideas by doing three things, drawing a picture, then the actual diagram, and then a number sentence, using Newtons.

Real world applications?

Tug of War is a good example of force. If you were to draw a diagram, then whichever line was longer, combined or not, would be the winner. Because if one team has a stronger force, whether just on their own or with the help of another force such as wind or whatever, they'd be the winner.
