Energy is in everything. We use energy for everything we do, from making a jump shot to baking cookies to sending astronauts into space.

There are two different types of forms of energy Potential Energy - which is stored energy in something or another and Kinetic Energy -  Which is working energy or activly moving or being used energy.

You can also classify energy as renewable energy, such as Wind energy or Sun energy, and there are non-renewable energy sources such as trees, coal, oil and others.

This is my glog of motion!!!

How many posts did you write? I write 29 article thois school year

How many were school based, your own interests or set by the challenge? I wrote 22 school related articles and 1 that was my own intrest and 6 that were set by the challenge

How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers or overseas students? I got 18 comments

Which post received the most comments? Why do you think that happened? my macroinverabrae blog and my 7 random facts i think that happened because  they are the most interesting/the thing they can nonnect to.

Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why? I enjoyed writing 7 random facts the best because it was nice to write random facts

Did you change blog themes at all and why? yes because i wanted to be able to customize my blog

How many widgets do you have? Do you think this is too many or not enough? I have three and i think that is just enough.

How many overseas students do you have on your blogroll? there are about 4-6 class's overseas in our blogroll

1. I learned that when you pull one surface on or through another surface you cause friction to pull the opposite way so it slows down and will eventually stop.

6.1 I also learned that if the weight is greater it increases the friction

6.2 If the surface is smaller it also increases the friction

6.3 some objects or surfaces increse or decrease the frictions pull.

2. We measured sliding friction by pulling a block along by a spring scale which measures friction because friction pulls backwards and so, if the block is harder to pull, that much friction that is making it harder, so that is how we measured it.

3. we controlled variables by changing one thing, such as the weight, and then kept all the other things the same, slope, times, length of pull, surface area, surface type, etc.

http://pirate56.edublogs.org/2012/02/03/buddhism/#comment-8 - this blog is almost completely wrong, i think she should at least try to find correct information.

I made a game at Sploder (a game making site, it is quite easy) and here is the URL: http://www.sploder.com/games/members/reganar05733/play/random-levels/

Thanks!

What is Elastic Force?

Elastic force is a force (duh) that is created by an object that has changed shape but tries to go back to its old form. The best example of this is a rubber band, but it happens in other opbjects such as some springs, and others. For instance if you were trying to mave a cart with a rubber band there are two options you have. 1 to tie the rubber band to the cart and pull it (this way does use elastic force but not much) 2, to make a slingshot out of the rubber band and launch it (this way uses a lot of elastic force but cannot direct it much).

What is gravity?

gravity is a force that acts on objects to pull it twards large objects of mass, such as the moon, the sun, the eath, etc. it is what makes you have weight (the difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of stuff in an object and weight is how much gravity pulls it down.)

Did you know, in 1930 our machines emmited or gave off ( for a small nieborhood) about 134 pounds of carbon dioxide. That may seem like a lot, but for the same size nieborhood in 2010 our machines emmited about 964 pounds of carbon dioxide!! now THATS a lot.

ENERGY

Did you know:

insulation helps conserve energy by keeping out or in heat and cold so you dont have to use as much electricity heating or cooling buildings.

dangers to yourself (yes you!) from electricity

flying a kite near wires

putting objects near electircal plugins

using electricity near water

putting metal in electrical appliances

pull things by their powercord

putting burnable objects near lightbulbs or lamps

dont put anything in an electrical outlet

What fuels gives off more electricity 

wood - 2.59/lb

coal - 2.48/lb

fuel oil - 26.4/lb

gasoline - 23.8/lb

LP gas - 12.1/lb

electricity from coal - 2.37/lb

electricity from oil - 2.14/lb

electricity from natural gas - 1.32/lb

electricity from natural gas -

A battery is a device that, when charged turns Electrical Energy into Stored Chemical Energy. Then when it is in a complete circut, such as a circut to power a lightbulb, it turns that Stored Chemical Energy Back into Electrical Energy which flows along the wires to the lightbulb which converts the Electrical Energy to Light and Heat Energy. in a circut with a motor instead of the light bulb when the Electrical Energy flows through the wires to the motor the motor converts the Electrical Energy into Mechanical energy to power itself.

I KNOW THAT                                                                                          

==========

 I know that batteries store energy.

I know that batteries have acid.

I know that batteries have to elecrical flow points.

I know that batteries have limited charge.

I know that some batteries can recharge and some cant.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW

===================

 I want to know how batteries store Electrical Energy (E.E.).

WHAT I LEARNED

==============

I learned that when a batteries is plugged in to charge the lectrical energy travels along the wire and changes into stored chemical energy which, in a different complate circut turns back into energy, and depending on what it is powering turns into light and heat, or mechanical energy.
