I see science when Jason slaps me in the face. It is 2 forces coliding together which causes friction and uses force, work and power. Gravity takes a little toll in this process. Acceleration and velocity could be calculated. The mass of his hand was hitting the mass of my face. Then I slapped him back and the process reapeted although Jason cried.

I see science mainly when i am on the computer. Most of the games i play now have physics. The game i played with the best physics engine i have ever played is Red Faction: Geurilla. I could barely even play that game with the lowest graphics it took so much memory. The physics is science because it adds gravity, acceleration, velocity, force

I see science everyday. Most of the time is when i am playing on the computer and my computer is working. Normally i have the door closed because my brother is noisy. My room gets hot because of the heat my processors are creating. The heat is caused by the friction of the proccesors working. The main problem that can help overheating is dust, which blocks airflow and is a thermal insulator so it reducing performance of the heat sink and the fan. A way to cool the computer is fans which helps airflow or a heat sink which absorbs some of the heat. This is some of the science i see in the real world.

I see science when Travis and I high five each other. The velocity and speed adds force when our hands meet. Friction is made and makes heat. That makes a sound energy which is why we hear the clap. This is some of the science i see everyday

I see science as we run in P.E. Running takes energy which we get from the stuff we eat which gets energy from the sun. When you run you push yourself foward off of the ground with your feet. This gives speed. The friction also lets us grip the ground to push ourselves foward. Gravity pulls us back down to Earth which lets us keep running. Air resistance makes us not run as fast as we could because of the force we have to use to get through the friction. This is where i see science

I see science when I absorb a punch in karate. When i get punched in the face i turn my face in the direction the punch is heading when it touches me. The force isn't as much because i am moving with it so it isn't full force. When i get punched in the stomach i tighten my stomach then once i feel the punch i breathe the right amount so the punch's energy dampens. While that is hapenning i also cave in my stomach so the punch loses alot of its force.

I see science when i type. Whenever I push the button it sends a signal to the CPU and the CPU tells the video card to show what i am typing on the screen. The CPU is like the brain of a computer. The video card shows all the things you see on the screen and the CPU tells it to do that.

I see science when I use a broom to clean the porch. I am applying force on the broom which causes friction from it scraping the ground. It is using motion energy to move the broom, heat energy from the friction and sound energy from the vibrating waves that is made from the broom hitting the ground. It is also a third class lever.

I see science when I am cold at night. I use friction and thermal insolators to keep myself warm. I take a thick blanket that has alot of cotton in it and put it around me which keeps me warm because the heat stays inside. Then i will rub my hands together to gernerate heat using friction.

I see science when i tap on something. when i tap on something i am using force and kenetic energy to make sound energy. The sound energy comes from the vibrating waves of me hitting the object.

I hear science when i talk. The vocal cords in our throats allow us to make noise. This creates sound waves. Sound waves are invisible waves to us except by hearing. We have little hairs in our ears which pick up different frequencies. The eardrum carries the vibrations to the brain and the brain decodes the sounds to what we hear.

I see science when i microwave my food. The microwave oven sends microwaves through the object and heats up the water molecules. They call it a microwave oven because it uses microwaves and it heats up things.
3/26/10
I see science when i get an x-ray at the dentist. The machine sends little amounts of x-ray through the mouth. Since bone is thick enough, the amount of x-ray they put in doesn't go through the bone so it pops out in the image with nothing else. They make you wear a lead vest thing so that the x-ray doesn't effect you as much because it is deadly in large amounts

I see science everywhere. Reflection is going on everywhere. When ever you see an object it is using reflection to give you the color that you see. Reflection also is used by mirrors or glass which gives you your reflection
4/9/10
I see science when i am listening to music or listening anything through a speaker. The speaker works by a magnet with a coil around it. The coil has electricity flowing through which causes an electromagnetic field around it. This is called an electromagnet. Then you make a permanent magnet interact with the electromagnet. Since they both have a north and south pole and the electricity keeps switching back and forth the poles change rapidly and that makes the coil move back and forth rapidly. The computer tells the speaker how fast to move the coil which makes the noises that you hear from a speaker
4/16/10
I see science when I look at the sky. What i see can either be a star, planet, or galaxy. Maybe a couple other things. The main star we see is the Sun which keeps us alive. The little dots in the sky could be asteroids, stars, galaxies, airplanes or other big things flying around in space. The light from the stars though could be old. a couple million years old. This is because of this distance between us and them.

I read about science when I was researching my APOD. I learned about the POX 186. It is a dwarf galaxy. They call it a dwarf galaxy because it is smaller than normal ones. It is about 100 times smaller than our galaxy spreading about 900 light years across.
4/30/10
I see science when I am waiting for the bus. They are trying to build new houses so they have to use equpiment like bulldozers. This is science because they are using gears, levers and pulley system to dig up the dirt and plant new dirt. They also have to use screw to build the houses.
5/7/10
I see science when I am playing my bass. When i am playing my string bass it makes noise because the strings vibrate through the hollow body. My electric bass has pickups on it which when plugged into an amp, amplifies the noise.
5/14/10
I see science when i am playing cards with Jason and David. When David mixes up the cards, they hit each other one after another. They make a nosie because of the friction and the sound waves.
5/28/10
I see science when i play with the frogs in Ms.Piehl's room. It is a pendulem. What is going on is the 2 frogs in the middle have magnets in them and the bar around them has a magnet so it moves the frogs. Then there is a battery in the bottom of the bar and the platform with causes a pendulem.
