What science is this ?We use a circuit. Circuits are wires and battery that powers the bulb. This is what you need to make a circuit

1. a battery and a battery holder [if wanted] which is metal

2. alligator clips [if wanted] to connect the the circuit to each other.

3. a switch if you want to control it otherwise it will keep going uncontrollable unless unplugg

Making a Light Bulb Light Up....3

LIFE CONNECTION STORY Well I was down stairs and playing with my Legos and I heard a beeping sound. I thought it was a fire so I thought it was a fire so I ran upstairs and realized it was just the fire alarm out of batteries.So electricity run out eventually and you have to change the battery’s. So don’t think that electricity is unlimited.

But I thought that too so don’t think I knew this all along.....

VOCABULARY Electric Current - A flow of

electricity

Open circuit - An incomplete circuit

Closed circuit - A complete circuit Load - power source for a circuit Switch - A object that controls if the circuit is complete or incomplete circuit - A circuit Insulator- Something that doesn’t let

electricity through.Conductor - A object that lets

electricity run through it

FUN FACTS:DID YOU KNOW THAT A CLOSED CIRCUIT IS A COMPLETE CIRCUIT and a open one is incomplete won't work. One estimate is that 24,000 people are killed by lightning strikes around the world each year

Where’s the science?

1.The Speed because how the marble

moves faster.

2. The Gravity because how the marble

gets pulled it down.

3.The Weight of the ball affects the

Acceleration by making it go faster by

the mass.

4. A change in the speed or direction of an object's motion

Fast Slow

Hockey ball Worm

VocabularySpeed- move quickly.Force - strength or energy as an attribute of

physical action or movement.

Acceleration - when it,s move faster.

Gravity- when the ball gets pull down.

Life connectionWhen I went to Disney world in Florida my

sister wanted me to go on a Roller coaster my

dad went on it to with me and my sister to. I

was scad to go on but then i went on the

Roller coaster at First it went slowly and then

it got faster and faster and then we were at a

part were it go down fast I was scad but when

i was on it for a minute it got OK and i was not

scad and when we got off i was over and then

we stayed at magic kingdom. in tell 4:30.

FUN FACT: Gravity pulls things down in rang

of earth.

Magnets have magnetic pole, a north and south pole and the opposites attract and the same repel. The earth has a magnetic field of its own! An electromagnet is when a battery is connected

to conductor and electrical wire is wrapped around the conductor (nail) to pick up paper clips. We don’t think we are going to put a magnet on our actual pinball machine. Mr. Commeret told us that the

stronger the attraction the farther away the poles will try to stick together.


One time at school we were having indoor recess and I was playing with 2 magnets and I put one on the top of my finger and the other one on the bottom and they stayed on my fingers and I could do a flip it over really fast and they would stay! When I showed my mom and my dad and my siblings they said “WOW! That’s soo awesome!!” I didn't know they could stick even through muscle, bone, and skin!!!

LIFE CONNECTION STORY

~ Magnetic attraction- If two objects magnetically attract each other.~ Magnetic field- The space all around a magnet where the force of the magnet can act .~ Magnetic pole- The end of a magnet ~ Electromagnet- An arrangement of wire wrapped around a core producing a temporary magnet

WHATS SCIENCE IN THIS?

NEWTON FIRST LAW OF MOTION: INERTIA

6

VOCABULARY :Inertia - inertia is when something wants to keep doing the same thing (staying at rest or staying in motion)

LIFE CONNECTION:When I kicked the soccer ball when I was younger I wondered why it would stop. So I would kick it again and again. I was not satisfied so I would try and try and try and got really frustrated and I said “KEEP GOING” and got pretty mad at my soccer ball and thought I needed a new one. But Mr. Commeret told us why objects don’t keep going. And stop. So I am glad I understand that now so I don’t get mad at any soccer balls…….

WHATS SCIENCE IN THIS?

Newtons first law of motion is “when an

object stays at rest it will stay at rest unless a

force acts upon it.”

And when an object is in motion it will stay at motion until a force acts upon it and that force that stops and starts it is called inertia.


C A R L E Y M E Y E R

Newton’s 2nd law of motion is F=MxA that stands for Force = Mass x Acceleration. That means that how fast something is going

plus something equals force. The force is the thing making the mass move. If something has more mass, it takes a

greater force to accelerate it.


The more force you have the more

acceleration your object will have.

DID YOU KNOW?

Vocabulary

Inertia- a property of matter by which

it continues in its existing state of rest

or uniform motion in a straight line,

unless that state is changed by an

external force.

Force- strength or energy as an

attribute of physical action or

movement.

Mass- a large body of matter with no

definite shape.

Acceleration- increase in the rate or

speed of something.

Action & Reaction- According to

Newton's third law, for every action

force there is an equal (in size) and

opposite (in direction) reaction force.

Motion- the action or process of moving or being moved.

When I was in 1st grade I was

reading a Junie B Jones book and

she wanted to kick a watering can

and she thought that it was empty

but it wasn’t and she broke her toe.

After she realized the watering can

didn’t move she screamed,

“OOOOWWWW!!!!!” and then her

mom came rushing out side and she

said, “ What happened?” and in the

end Junie B. had to so to the

hospital. I was thinking that that

would NOT feel good! And I learned

to check a watering can before you

kick it!!!!

Newton’s Third Law

Where’s the science?1.The Force helps it when its in the middle it go faster.2. When there is a action there has to be a equal reaction. A force is anything that can change the state of motion of an object, like a push or a pull. You use force when you push a letter on the computer keyboard or when you kick a ball. Forces are everywhere. Gravity acts as a constant force on your body, My basketball bounces back to me because of action reaction I shot the ball it hits the rim and comes back it to me….keeping you secure on planet

LIFE CONNECTION STORY

One time at my house I was playing basketball and I threw the ball in to the hoop and made it!! I yelled “Yeah!” Then the ball hit the ground, BOING. Then the ball flew up again which was a action and hit the ground with a reaction.Earth so you don't float away.A force is anything that can change the state of motion of an object, like a push or a pull.

Force - A force around planets that pulls the object to it Inertia- a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.Insulator - A object that does not let electricity run through it Load - A power source for the circuit Magnetic attraction- a magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet.Magnetic field- a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.Magnetic pole- ach of the points near the extremities of the axis of rotation of the earth or another celestial body where a magnetic needle dips vertically.Mass- a large body of matter with no definite shape.Motion- the action or process of moving or being moved.Open circuit - circuit an incomplete circuitSpeed- rapidity of movement or action.Switch- a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit.Weight-relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
