KWL---Forces & Motion

Hey all, and welcome to my 37th blog post this year! I have exiting news for you! We are starting a new unit! Exiting right? Well, I am exited too because if I tell the truth I was getting bored with writing all those reflection and blog posts about minerals although I did learn TONS! Well, this next unit is all about forces and motion! So the key “phrase” of word that we got is KWL, which means, Know, Want to know and learn! Of course I can only answer the first two today, because I didn’t learn anything yet!

Here is what I know. I don’t know very much, but this is what I know, or what I heard my classmates say in class:
• A type of force is gravity
• The world is always in motion. For example: the earth resolves around the sun.
• We humans are also always in motion. We walk, we run, we talk, we breath, we eat and so on. Those are all motion.

That is pretty much all that I know!

What I want to know:
• How would you define forces and motion?
• Do force and motion affect our lives?
• How do they help us?
• Do we depend on motion and force? Why?
There is many more, I could go on for ages, but those are the main ones. Please if you are a pro, answer one of these questions, I would really appreciate it! Towards the end of the unit I will add something to learn and know, and take away from what I want to know! Thanks! See you soon!

  1. awesome, here are some answers: 1. Define forces and motion?

    force, commonly, a “push” or “pull,” more properly defined in physics as a quantity that changes the motion, size, or shape of a body. Force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.

    2. Do force and motion affect our lives? How do they affect them, If they do then why?

    3. how do forces and motion help us?

    They help us move, walk, talk, have control over ourself, function normally.

    4. How do forces affect motion?

    forces affect motion by unbalanced forces

    ......thats all for now, keep researching like me, love ya :) <3

  2. I like that you actually answered Ajda in her comments Andjela! Great job! Excellent questions Ajda. Hopefully we'll find out the answers with lots of hands on projects!
