Another Planet

You have landed on another planet that you live and breathe on (just like Earth!), but it is TWICE as big as Earth.  Create a blog post naming and describing your planet.  In this description, be sure to include a comparison and contrast to the gravity that we have here on earth.

               My planet is called unearth. My planet would have more houses then apartments. My planet would be green with no pollution. My planet would be clean with no trash anywhere and my plant would have more trees unlike earth that you see more apartments and you  barely see trees and everywhere you walk you see trash on the streets. The gravity on my planet is a little more then the gravity on earth so the weight of everything will weight more.

Electric light

Write a blog post completely describe today’s Light the Bulb activity, then explain why you think the light bulb lit up. (How do you think the electricity works to light it up?)

Today we try lighting a light bulb with a wire  and a battery. with one end of the wire you have to put it at the bottom of the battery and the other end of the wire you have to put it on the side of the light bulb and then you have to put it on top of the battery and has to be like a circle so the electric can move. I think that the light bulb light up because the electric needs a flow to pass through the wire around.

“Work vs. Power”

Explain (in your own words) the difference between work and power.  Give an example showing work done with a lot of power and then with a little power.

My understanding of work is a amount  of force you put on a object to move it a distance. Power is the rate which work is done.


Pulling a item up a hill slow and then pushing the item down the hill you would be using a lot of power but dropping the object from the top of the hill is using a little power.
