2. Science

a. For science I tried to video my skating science three laws of motion video, but Cecilia kept making me laugh and we have to redo it.

b. I did my introduction and my first demonstration but Cecilia accidently cut it off before I was done, so we have to redo that.

c. We also have to redo my second law demonstration because Cecilia didn’t have enough mass to accelerate faster than me on the spin; I need to find an adult to demonstrate it instead.

d. I have to redo the third law because the video was cut short and I didn’t get my conclusion in.

e. Today I am going to get my poster board and start on that for my presentation.

f. I think that we need to video different kinds of spirals for the first law of motion and different kinds of jumps to demonstrate that each law occurs no matter what kind of spiral or jump that we are doing.

g. I think that we need to video the whole thing over again, just because of some minor technical difficulties.
