“Today
at brunch, Coach Casey and Darrington Hobson of the Warriors came to school.
They played tag with a lot of people. It was funny. Then, I needed to go,”
whispered Alisun.
“Today
on our field trip, we went in a car. We lined up outside the bowling alley,
then went inside to get our bowling shoes. Then, we signed our names in and
rolled the ball to play. Next, we walked to the Boardwalk to look for machines.
It started to rain, so we went in the arcade and saw other machines. Finally,
we went back to school in our car groups,” reported Bailey.
“Today,
I did square dancing. It was fun! I learned a lot! After that, we had free
time. We listened to a couple of songs,” reported Felicia.
“Today
at Friday Courses, we had Hour of Code. We have homework that is very hard.
Then, we went to coding. I got six levels into the Minecraft. On the sixth
level you have to build a house. It was very hard. I couldn't finish it. Then
it was time to end courses,” encoded Ian.
Wow! It is
almost the end of the winter trimester! In the Force and Motion theme, we’ve been exploring each of the six simple
machines (lever, screw, wedge, inclined plane, pulley and wheel and axle).
Before we started a combination of free exploration and guided investigations
with the six simple machines, the students played with balance, gravity,
centripetal force, and Newton’s Laws of Motion.
·
Every
object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion
unless an external force is applied to it.
·
The force
acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.
·
For every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
¡Guauu! Es casi el final
del trimestre invierno! En el
tema de Fuerza y Movimiento, hemos estado explorando
cada una de las seis máquinas simples (palanca, tornillo, cuña, plano inclinado, poleas
y ruedas y ejes). Antes de empezar una combinación de exploración libre y las
investigaciones guiadas con las
seis máquinas simples, los estudiantes jugaron con el equilibrio, la gravedad, la fuerza centrípeta, y
las leyes del movimiento de Newton.
• Cada objeto en un estado de movimiento uniforme tiende a permanecer en ese estado de movimiento a menos que una fuerza externa se aplica a ella.
• La fuerza que actúa sobre un objeto es igual a la masa de dicho objeto por su aceleración.
• Para cada acción, hay una reacción igual y opuesta.
Lysa visited the Sea class with a box full of
antique toys and toys she and her friend have collected on their world travels.
Several of the students commented that bringing the toys helped inspire them to
start building their toys for the Toy Museum at Learning Celebration. Let me know if you need another copy
of the family homework assignment.
Lysa visitó la clase del mar con una caja llena de juguetes antiguos y juguetes que ella y su amiga han
recogido en su mundo viaja. Varios de los estudiantes
comentaron que traer los juguetes ayudó a
inspirar a empezar a construir
sus juguetes para el Museo del Juguete en el aprendizaje de
la celebración. Déjeme saber si usted necesita otra copia de la
asignación de la preparación de la familia.
Andrea Tanaka was a guest teacher last week in
the Sea Class! As a bike expert, he helped us identify the simple machines on
Zuki’s bike, and then each student rode the bike on a stationary training to
feel the assistive force of gears and hand brakes.
Andrea Tanaka fue profesor
invitado la semana pasada en la
Clase mar! Como un experto
en bicicleta, él nos ayudó a identificar
las máquinas simples en la bicicleta de Zuki, y luego cada estudiante montó la bicicleta estacionaria
en un entrenamiento para sentir la fuerza de
asistencia de engranajes y frenos
de mano.
This upcoming Friday, scientists from UCSC’s Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)
will bring four centers of physics demonstrations for all Monarch classes.
Thank you to Ayala for getting this whole thing started! I’ll try to remember
to take lots of photos and video and post them on the next blog!
Este próximo viernes, los científicos de Women in
Science and Engineering (WISE) a
UCSC will traerá cuatro centros
de demostraciones de física para todas las clases de Monarch. Gracias a Ayala para
conseguir todo esto empezó! Voy a tratar de recordar tomar un montón de fotos y de
vídeo y los publicará en el próximo
blog!
The Force and Motion theme lends itself
especially well to integration into English Language Arts (Communication Workshop). The students chose a topic related to
forces, motion, or machines and are finishing up an informational writing
project with paragraphs, topic sentences, and illustrations. Some students
chose to use the Chromebooks and others are hand writing their information
books. The students are excited to share their information writing with you at
their student led
conferences this and next week.
El tema de Fuerza y movimiento se presta especialmente bien a la integración en Artes del Lenguaje Inglés (Taller de Comunicación). Los estudiantes escogieron
un tema relacionado con fuerzas,
movimiento, o máquinas y están
terminando un proyecto de
escritura informativa con los párrafos,
oraciones temáticas, e ilustraciones. Algunos estudiantes
optaron por utilizar los Chromebooks y otros están
escribiendo sus libros de
información mano. Los estudiantes están muy contentos de compartir su escritura con
usted en sus estudiantes información
llevó conferencias esta semana y
la próxima.
And now… this week in
preview.
