Sixth graders are learning a bit about Mt Saint Helens, environmental science through fresh water ecology, and physical science this year. Eighth graders are learning about life science this year. Please join us as we learn Science by exploring our world.

All About Friction
In 6.1 I learned that different surface types can effect frictional force. I also learned that some surface types can have a bigger affect on frictional force. In 6.2 I learned that more weight can cause more frictional force. In 6.3 i learned friction is what happens when you pull on something and frictional force pulls against you. I also learned that different surface area can change frictional force.
About the Blogger
I started my teaching career in South Central Los Angeles teaching in modified to full bilingual 4th and 5th grade classes. Then I moved to WA State where I have taught mainly 6th through 8th grade. I have enjoyed the culture clash but notice that kids are the same everywhere :o)
My areas of interest are science and technology but I also love studying ancient cultures and learning about different peoples and cultures.
