Today, after third block I dropped my book. This is science because it dropped to the ground. That shows that the book was affected by gravity.

When I got home I took a shower and then changed. When I picked up my shirt I heard the sound of static electricity. This is science because the clothes have been rubbing. They were drawn to each other because one shirt was lacking electrons which made a negative charge and the other shirt had extra electrons which gave it a positive charge. The two shirts were drawn to each other automatically.

I noticed that opening and closing the doors of the car involves science. When you step out of the car, you use force to close the door. The car door should continue to stay in motion, but it is stopped by the car frame. This is an example of Newton’s First Law of Motion.

I was playing basketball and I noticed that this activity includes science, too. I made a shot, and then it bounced off the wall. It kept on rolling, but it stopped. This is because the effect of friction that was applied to the ball while rolling. I believe this counts as rolling friction.
Week 6
At our school, mostly in seventh grade, we have lots a dancers. Specifically a dance known as jerkin. This relates to science because the people who jerk deal with all kinds of friction. Heat friction, rubbing friction and also sliding frition. You may ask what all this friction adds up to messed up vans(the shoes). So all together the dances go through about five pairs of shoes. This is all because the science behind jerkin.
Week 7
This week I went swimming. While I was swimming I thought to myself, does swimming involve science? If so how? What kind of science? Your ability to float on a body of water while remaining stationary, is referred to as: "buoyancy." A scientific concept that suggests that if you can float in the water (without sinking), then the force of the water exerted upward on your body, is equal to the force of gravity exerted downward by you. This has to do with the density of your body and the density of the water, but contrary to what was suggested in the previous response, you cannot "adjust" your body's density just by trying to stay "on top" of the water.
Week 8
Today I had to walk home like any ohter day only today I noticed that I was walking on a inclined plane. It was actually one the needed less force and had more distance. It was a long hill but I got past it and now I am at home.:)
Week 9
Have you ever been to a water park. Have ever went to the wave pool and wonder how they get it so..... Well so wavy. Well I am trying to figure out if making those waves includes any science. I reserched this and it turns out that really there is no really big science. Just paddles pushing water. Oh well:(
Week 10
I was listening to music and wondered how I am able to hear songs. Well I reaserched and learned that I am able to hear the music because my ears pick up vibrations that transmit signals to my brain of what to hear. The vibrations are from compressions and rarefractions.
Week 11
I was playing video games and wondered how do the controllers work. Well as with pretty much everything they have a little science behind them. Turns out that the are controlled by circuits and when the circuit is blocked it sends a signal to the game of what to do.
Week 12 Today I saw my sister swinging on a swing set and I am wondering how she can go so long without stopping. Well I was thinking back and remembered talking about potential and kinetic energy. The reason she keeps going is because the switch between those two types of energy.
Week 13
Today I was watching T.V and noticed how it made images. When you look closely you notice that there are thousands of tiny dots that make the whole pictue. THey made T.Vs like this so because of the way the human eye and how it works.
Week 14
I was thinking about my last subject and was thinking what makes HD t.v different. Turns out there are more dots on the T.V so that the picture is clear and very determinable. That is how HD and a regular T.V differ.
Week 15
Today I was thinking how are we able to see the moon. and what makes it look different. Really the moon just reflects the light of the sun and makes is so that we are able to see it. The white glow it creates is really just the sun's light reflection.
Week 16
I reasearched the moon and figured out that the the different moon phases differ dependeing on the position of the moon and the projection of the sun's light. Some what like this.
week 17
Today I noticed that computers work something like a T.V. I noticed this because my screen broke a little and it was only a tiny bit but you could tell that some pixels in the screen that were broken.
Week 18
Im at home sick. I have a cold, but I just am wondering why when I hear things it sounds so wierd. But turns out the is a pressure build up in my ears.
it sound weird because my ears are kind of like suction cups.
Week 19
I was thinking about cars. How many simple machines are there is a car. Turns out a car has lots of simple machines for example the window. It is a wedge. The emergency brake is a lever. As it turns simple machines are all around us.
Week 20
This week I learned about star a lot. Thing that caught my attention is that stars are formed by the remain of old stars. The gasses and remains from the explosion of a old star is copressed and when its hot enough it makes a new star.
Week 21
This week I was thinking about the whole action and reaction thing. It had me wondering if there is a placed where this law did not occur. I wont know until I do some reasearch.

Week 22
I just figured out that why balloons that have heleum float. It is because when we blow into a balloon we blow carbon dioxide into the balloon carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen. Althought heleum is way lighter than air.
