We have three 6th grade Science classes and two 8th grade Science classes blogging here from the Pacific Northwest in Chimacum, WA! 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.

1. i wrote about 14 blogs.
2.all were school based or set by the challenge, about 10 were set by the challenge. others were set by the school.
3. 1 comment from a different school. (yes, i was commenting on other peoples blogs. i commented about 26 times on other blogs.)
4.i really cant answer this, since i only got a few comments, and they were all on the top post, so i think they just commented on the first thing they saw.
5.they were all pretty fun to writ, though no one ever views them.
6.i used to have about 20, but it got laggy, so i deleted them and now i have 2.
7.about 4-6.

1. i learned that friction is the force that happens when 2 surfaces rub together, like a block and sandpaper.you can measure friction in many ways, including newtons and LBS.
on narrower sides, theres more weight since its a smaller side, so its harder to pull, which means there's more friction.
2.we measured friction by pulling the block with a little scale thing, and it measured the force it takes to pull it with newtons by feeling the drag the block creates.
3. controlled variables are the thing that when you do several experiments, it stays the same. we controlled: pulling speed,pulling length, and block type.

how much CO2 did we use in 2010?
964 POUNDS of CO2, or carbon dioxide
how does insulation help you conserve energy?
The pyramid game on the Atoms Family states that the more instillation you have, the more heat it traps.
what are some things you learned about being safe with energy?
don't fly a kite near telephone wires, do not stick something in a toaster or a socket, and dont put anything on cord, also do not leave a plug partially exposed
which fuels put less carbon into our atmosphere?
C02,
electricity,
or
oil?
winner, electricity!

a battery is something that powers other objects. it can also be charged, and they usually require an acidic based chemical in them. when you charge it, the battery stores chemical energy. when you use it, it puts out electrical energy. then, when it comes from the lightbulb, it is called light and heat energy. flowing electrons create electricity.
