We will be having a "Tantalizing Toy Show" on Tuesday November 13th, .
The students will present their "Sales Pitch" and toy to a member of the 3A class!!
Requirements:
ONE TOY that uses at least ONE force mentioned above ---(can use more)
Must have first two (2) pages completed from "Being a Toy Inventor " workbook
Self Assessment of Toy page from "Being a Toy Inventor " workbook
ONE labeled drawing/diagram/sketch of toy and how it works- Label parts, simple machines, forces, movement, etc.
A copy of your "Sales Pitch"- It can be a brochure, a sign for your table, A poster, or just a verbal script. It must present a convincing argument and explain the form of energy used and how the toy works with scientific terms
The students through this science lab came to the understanding of how friction works, and will understand that different surfaces allow for
different amounts of friction.
Students looked at ten different surfaces and predicted which surfaces will have the most and the least
friction.
Push and Pull Lab
As the air rushes out of the balloon, it creates a forward motion called THRUST. Thrust is a pushing force created by energy. In the balloon experiment, our thrust comes from the energy of the balloon forcing the air out. The number of pumps of air we put into the balloon effects the speed and distance because of the added pushing force/thrust created by the air.
Gravity Lab
It is because of gravity that objects fall to earth! We will try to trick gravity by using physics to makes water in a glass work against gravity.
Prewrite- This is the first stage of writing! You must think about what the topic you are going to write about and come up with ideas. Sometimes you may use a brainstorming graph like the picture below to help you organize these ideas.
Write- This is the stage where you take these ideas and put them into sentences!
Revise- This is the stage where you add more details and Juicy words to improve your overall writing! Check out this video for a guide to revising your writing!
Edit- This is the stage where you look over your writing and check for grammar, punctuation, capitalization and sight words. Check out the video for an example of how to edit your work!
Publish- This is the last stage! You take the revisions you made and the edits you completed and write one last final good copy to submit for teacher review!
People
in the upper class were powerful and wealthy, the upper
class included: —the
kings —Nobles —Priests —government
officials —warriors
Priests¢The priests
were powerful. The priests shaved their heads. ¢They were
in charge of making sure everyone behaved in a way that would make the gods
happy. ¢Priests
were responsible for developing the
economy. ¢Priests
distributed land, employed workers and
managed trade. ¢They were
the doctors of the time. If you were sick, you called for a priest.
Wealthy
Men and Women¢Men
and women wore jewelry, especially rings. ¢Men wore
skirts and had long hair, curly moustaches, and long beards. ¢Women
wore dresses, off one shoulder. They had
long hair, which they braided or wore up in fancy arrangements
The
Middle Class
The
middle class was made up of:—Farmers—Fisherman—Artisans—Merchants
¢In
ancient Sumer, people were paid for their work. If they ran a shop or worked in
the fields, they were paid for their goods or labor. ¢Everybody
paid, even the king. Stealing was a serious crime and punishment was
severe. ¢Although
the lower class did not have the luxury lifestyle of the rich, they were
comfortable. They worked very hard, but they had homes. ¢They
wore jewelry, although perhaps it was not made of gold. There
was no law that said they could not move up the social scale, or more likely,
have their children move up the social scale by becoming a scribe, or a priest
or priestess
The
Lower Class- Slaves¢Slaves
performed all manual and domestic work. Slaves worked for the king, the
temple and the wealthy. ¢Slaves
were taken at the end of wars between the city-states. ¢Among
the slaves were captured people, debtors, poor children, orphans and criminals.¢Slaves
were bought and sold. Records have been
found recording the amount paid for a slave. Typically, a slave bought at
auction cost less than a donkey but more than a cow.¢Slaves
who tried to escape or disobeyed their
masters received harsh punishments.¢Despite
being the property of their masters, slaves still had many rights. They could
hold property, participate in business, marry a free man or women, and
eventually even purchase their own freedom.
