7 x7 Seven Subjects & 7 things I learned March 27,
2013 Days 120-121
1. Math
Kahn Academy ½ hour
2. Science
Finish Science Project
Newton’s
Three Laws of Motion
Newton’s
three laws of motion were a turning point in the study of science. Newton wrote
down these three laws in a complicated form, in a book called, “Principia.”
“Principia” also
explained the idea of gravity. Isaac Newton and many other scientists around
1640 like, Edmond Halley worked together and came up with the idea of gravity.
Newton first
thought about gravity when an apple fell on his head from an apple tree, he
wondered if the same force that pulled the apple down from the tree, is the
force that keeps the moon connected to the Earth. He thought about this subject
for many years, and did many experiments.
When he
finally came up with a logical and reasonable solution and did the math down on
paper, he discovered the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that keeps
everything connected to the Earth’s surface, Gravity is the reason why we can
walk on the ground and don’t just float up in the air, and Gravity is the
reason, when you do a jump on figure skates, you come down back to the ice, and
don’t just stay up in the air.
After Newton
discovered a way to explain gravity, he found a way to explain his law of
physics.
3. History
a. I think my favorite battle of World War
II, was the Battle of the Bulge, because it took so long and it was so neat the
that the allies were able to claim a victory if they went even 2 feet onto
enemy lines and capturing territory while pushing Germany back, I thought it
was also really cool when the great WWII moment when General Patten came in to
help the Allies in the Battle of the Bulge.
b. I think the most devastating story of
World War II, are the stories of all the Jews that were captured by Nazi
Germans and sent to concentration camps. I really liked watching the Diary of
Anne Frank because I could see all of the fear in her family’s eyes, and when
they were captured.
c. I think the coolest stories about WWII
are the stories of the double agent spies. I really liked the stories from the
book in Daily Spark about the Russian spy who got captured by the Germans and pretended
to spy on the Russians giving the Germans false statements about the Russians
location and such, he was never caught which was really cool.
d. I think the most devastating thing about
WWII are all the cities that were destroyed by bombs, Berlin, London, Pearl
Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and all the other cities and civilians who were
killed by great bombs.
e. I think my favorite picture from World
War II is the picture in Iwo Jima with the soldiers raising the American Flag
in the morning to tell the sleeping soldiers we won.
f. I think my favorite Allied victory from
World War II, is when they were successful with the invasion of Normandy.
g. I think that my favorite quote from
World War II is Winston Churchill’s, “We have never owed so much too so few.”
4. Language
Spanish song
1.
In the Spanish song that I listened to it talked
about the weather. I learned that “Hace buen tiempo” means, “The weather is”
2.
Some ways
of describing the weather are: frio (cold)
Calor (sunny)
Freso (chilly)
Nublado (cloudy.)
3.
I learned that Bien tiempo means good weather
4.
Mal tiempo is bad weather. So if it was raining
outside instead of saying, Hace bien tiempo llaviendo, you would say Hace mal
tiempo llaviendo. It is raining.
5.
Temperature in Spanish is, “Temputura.” F and
“Tempeturo” M.
6.
IF it is two different knds of weather you could
say, “Hace calor y nublado” It is sunny and cloudy.
7.
The weather outside right now is, “Hace calor.”
5. Reading
a. In reading today I read a story about
London in 1601, I had to look online, (except I didn’t because I went to
London) and give a description of all the landmarks mentioned in the story:
London Bridge: London Bridge is actually
called the tower bridge because of its two large, blue and gold towers with a
walkway connecting them, the tower bridge is a beautiful sight, and many people
confuse it with London Bridge which is just a straight, gray, cement bridge
right before it.
b. The Thames River: The Thames River is
pronounced, “Tems” It is the center line between the region of London and the
region of Westminster.
c. Westminster: Westminster is the region
of London where all of the beautiful royalty –is, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham
Palace, The house of Parliament, and more.
d. The city of London: A very large city in England, full of
many towers and buildings and beautiful sights.
e. Then I had to right a short definition
of each word from what I could tell from the text: Extensive: Extended, long
f. Navigable: Able o be navigated, easy to
find
g. Country Seats: country scenes, fields
Shad: fish
6. Writing
a. Today in writing I named my story,
“Double Trouble”
b. I continued on:
6 years later, Jacksonville, Florida:
Reagan and her family were transported to
Jacksonville six years ago with not a clue what was going on. Steven found a
job, and a house and the family found a way to make a living. Reagan’s 16th
birthday was next week, her family was planning a huge party and a surprise,
they were going to move to California! “Hi Dana, its Claire, just wanted to
make sure Hannah could come to the party.” Reagan’s mom was very nervous and
wanted to make sure that all of Reagan’s friends would be able to make it to the
party. “Call me back, Thank you bye.” Claire was definitely an over worrier
just like Melissa’s mom, I guess the duplicate picked up the same personality,
except of course, that the duplicates, didn’t know they were duplicates!
Melissa’s parents weren’t making a big deal out of Melissa’s birthday as
Reagan’s parents were, they were just planning a small family gathering and
that was not at all what Melissa wanted .Melissa had almost completely
forgotten about the clone spell until her wizard teacher taught it to her,
however, her wizard teacher left out a very important part about the spell,
when the wizard that casted the spell turns 16, and the clone has not yet been
destroyed, the clone starts copying all of the wizards actions!
7. Music
