About the Blogger


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.

Tree Planting

Article posted April 19, 2013 at 08:26 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 176

1. How did you like tree planting? I really liked tree planting. I was expecting it to be really boring, and cold. 


2.  How many trees did you plant? I think we planted 12 - 15?...


3.  What did you plant? We planted short pine trees... I think.


4.  Where did we plant trees? We planted trees at Chimacum beach. (the log dump)


5.  Why did we plant trees! We planted trees to give the water shade which will help the whole cycle of the salmon and invertebrates! And once the salmon die, they will give nutrients to the trees! 


THANK YOU JAC!! :)

EMM Lesson 13

Article posted February 19, 2013 at 08:22 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 268

Last week, my class did an experiment on levers. We had a peg board, a lever, pulley, string, motor, sled (with 10 washers on it), and a spring scale. We had to somehow get the lever and spring scale to lift the sled with out human work. We sadly did not succeed with that but, another group in one of our classes, did succeed. So these questions are for our experiment. And these are my answers.

1. When the spring scale got further away from the fulcrum, it took less work and effort force to lift.
2. They make hard things easier. Like if I was trying to lift a huge boulder out of the ground, a shovel could help me because it has a fulcrum.
3. Our motor couldn't lift 10 washers and the sled so we kept taking off washers until it could lift, which was 2 washers.

Winter Break = Holiday Season

My family stay at home and have our relatives over for the holidays. This winter break though I am going to Seattle and seeing King Tut. Another thing I do is on January 1st, I take 2 of my friends and do the Polar Bear Dip at Mystery Bay on Marrowstone Island. Its fun, but REALLY cold.

EMM Lesson 8

Article posted December 20, 2012 at 08:14 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 594

The scientific definition for work is: When a force acts on an object and it moves some distance. When you calculate work done on an item, the force that pushes or pulls on the item is multiplied by the distance the item moves. Our definition for work is pretty much: If someone were to 'work' hard and study for a test, I think most of us would consider that 'work'.

EMM Lesson 7

Article posted December 13, 2012 at 08:24 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 515

When I used a motor to see how much force it had with a spring scale only measured 1 newton. The results on Mr. G's board, shows that 3 batteries lifted more washers, that the nail lifted more than pulley (well at least in 2 cases it did) and when you put the batteries together as a 'series' it lifts more,

EMM Lesson 6

Article posted November 28, 2012 at 08:24 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 705

1. If you didn't have any controlled variables, than you couldn't compare data.
2. When we hooked up the spring scale to the block and pulled it, the spring in the scale measured the friction force.
3. If you pulled the block on ice, it would have less friction.
4. When I changed my surface types, the friction force with some it increased, and some it decreased this was the same as my hypothesis. My 2 points of data are: When I pulled the block on the tabletop, my average was .56 newtons. And on the course sandpaper my average, was .71 newtons. The reason why I got those results, is because the smoother the surface, there is less friction. For my surface area: When I changed my surface area, the friction force increased. My 2 data points are: For my small surface area, my area was .90 newtons. And my average for my big surface area is: 1.28 newtons. The reason why I got this data is because, the smaller the surface area, the less friction force.
