Questions:

How did the temperatures of the water in the red Solo cup and the water in the bucket compare at the beginning?
What happened to the temperature of the cold water over time?
What happened to the temperature of the warm water over time?
How did your graph show what happened?
After 15 minutes, what did you notice about the lines on your graph?
What happened to make the temperature of the cold water get warmer?
What happened to make the temperature of the warm water get colder?
Use your line graph to predict what the temperature of the warm and cold water would be after 20 minutes. Record your predictions below. Why did you choose these temperatures?
Did the food coloring in the warm water help you understand how heat energy is transferred? How?

At the beginning of the experiment the water in the red cup was warm, it was about 81 °F, the bucket started at about 35 °F. They compared at 45 °F.
The temperature in the cold water cup became warmer over time because of the heat of the air warming it. The cold cup was about 35 °F and the air was 71 °F and the temperature equalized.
The temperature of the warm water was cooled by the temperature of the air over time because the temperature of the air was about 71 °F and the water was about 81 °F and it was equalized.
My graph shows that the temperatures for both of the two waters almost equalized.
(red) The line for the warm water went down from 81 °F to 47 °F. (blue) The line for the cool water went up from 35 °F to 45 °F.
The temperature of the air was 71 °F and the cool water was 35 °F and the temperature of the air started to bring up the temperature to equalize.
The temperature of the air was 71 °F and the warm water was 81 °F and the temperature of the air started to bring down the temperature to equalize.
I think the temperature of the cool water would be about 55 °F. I think this because the temperature went up about 10 °F in 5 minutes so I think it would just add 10 °F. I think the temperature of the warm water would be about 38 °F. I think this because the temperature went down about 10 °F in 5 minutes so I think it would just take off 10 °F.
The food coloring didn't help because it just sat in the warm water but it did show us that the water dose not go threw the cup.

Arguments For Independence (Patriots)

1. We should be able to vote for our governors.
2. We all ready pay a lot for our family's, we don't need to pay more.
3. Why should we be bossed around, we aren't kids.

Arguments Against Independence (Loyalists)

1. King Gorge the 3rd deserves to rule us we live on his land.
2. King Gorge the 3rd is our ruler you should respect him.
3. King Gorge the 3rd is using the money for a good cause, to pay for the French and Indian War.

1. I think that the Patriots side is easier. I think the Patriots side is easier because reading History Alive 10 and 11 most of the stuff King Gorge the 3rd did was rude and unfair to the colonists and that made it easier to find the arguments.
2. I think doing History Alive 11 on the computer made me learn more. It made me learn more because I looked back into the text more because the questions were more specific.

I predict that the best conductor will be brass.
Then I think second it will be copper.
Then I think Third will be aluminum.
Then I think fourth will be bamboo wood.
Then I think the worst conductor will be the plastic.

Describe how the heat energy transferred from the hot plate to the butter. Answer: The heat traveled threw the rod as a conductor to the butter.

How did the results compare to your predictions. Answer: I got all of my predictions wrong, but I was not off by a lot.

Which of the tested materials were the two best conductors? What is your evidence? Answer: The copper and the aluminum were the the best conductors. It says that they slid first in the chart above.

Which of the tested materials were the two worst conductors? What is your evidence? Answer: The two worst conductors are plastic and bamboo wood. As you see on the chart the plastic slid right at the end of the timed recording, and the bamboo wood didn't slide in the time.

Do you think water is a good or poor conductor? Why? Answer: I think that it is a good conductor because if you are in a pool and the pool gets struck by lightning you will get shock.
Why do you think it matters which material is a good or bad conductor? How do we use conductors in our life? Answer: It maters because it makes some things easier to do like making pasta. It makes it easier because it transfers the heat into the noodles.

We argued with the loyalist Thomas Hutchinson about how the unfair laws that British made like the Stamp Act and the Tea Act.

1. Our Answers- Both of the groups had good answers. We had answers that made sense to the History Alive book and the answered were persuasive, but we took a long time to come up with the answers.
2.Our Preparation- Our preparation was ok we were scrambling at the last minute, but we were good at writing down what we were supposed to.
3. Our Behavior- We listened to each other, but we had some trouble agreeing on some things.
4. Our Final Product- Our final product was a little giggely, but I think we answered the questions right.
5. Our Fluency- We spoke clearly and we spoke quietly.

TAX COLLECTORS

My boss payed me today. I was very happy that I could go by some new things. I had 6 pounds!!! I thanked my boss after she payed me I turned around to go see if my friends got payed. The first thing I saw was a big tall TAX COLLECTOR. He said in a big scary voice "I am here to collect your tax." I took out my pay and held it out to him. He said, "You owe 1 pound because you have a birthday that ends in -ber." I thought that was the worst law ever but I gave him my money. I then had to pay 2 pounds because I had on a bracelet. I was waiting for the next "great" law and guess what he said to me he said "thank you, have a good day." I was sad that I only had 3 pounds left but 3 is better than 2,1, or 0 I guess.

Cause & Effect Organizer for the Revolutionary War

The Stamp Act had many different effects and what is called the Revolutionary War. When England brought the taxes up and the colonists were angry, this was one of the causes fore the war.
The Boston Tea Party is not a effect on the War. It is not because this act made the British mad not the colonists. The British were mad because the colonists were disrespecting them.
I think that America should declare independence from England because America shouldn't be treated like a child, and England shouldn't boss America around like a parent.

My google docs script shows I under stand my events because my partner and I took facts from the book and turned them into a conversation. We took facts like you had to get a big blue stamp on printed paper like newspaper licenses and letters.
My google docs script shows I know what a patriot is and I know what a loyalist is. The script shows that the loyalist (Jill) is all for England, but the patriot (Sadie) is mad and against England.

Finding Apprenticeships in 1768 Boston

My apprenticeship is a Olitor (a kitchen gardener). I picked my job because I didn't know what it was and I was interested to see what it was. It wasn't very hard to find my apprenticeship with Marry Ann Olitor (my boss) because she is very nice and open to a lot of people. I am living in my bosses house. She has a spare bedroom in her house. It wasn't hard to find the house but I have to do the dishes to pay for the house. The first day in 1768 Boston was fun, I never knew how much fun having a job would be. I helped Marry Ann with work and then she gave me a small brake so me and my friends went exploring!

The easiest energy form to find was Motion Energy. That was the easiest to find because there are allot of things in motion.
The hardest energy form to find was Chemical Energy. That was the hardest because we had trouble finding more things besides a battery.
My group worked together good. We took with turns with the camera. We had trouble starting the camera up.
