Our physics project!

Today we conducted a mathematical investigation that involved properties of physics.

Purpose: To Design a prototype to investigate the distance one glass marble could roll on a hard surface.

(Create a device which is going to propel on class marble to see how far it will go.) [measure distance]

Materials:

• 1.5 metre of masking tape.
• 3  metre wooden ruler.
• 3-4 glass marbles.
• Chalk

Predictions:

1st marble: 5.30m

2nd marble: 1.50

3rd marble: 5.11        

Method

Two rulers were taped together diagonally using the masking tape. Once secure, the prototype was taken outside to the court area to provide a concrete surface for the marble to roll on.

Our  prototype ( track) was elevated 440mm, by placing  the track into one of the fence gaps. We rolled the marbles down the track to investigate the distance it would travel.

Results:

1st Marble: 3.20m

2nd Marble: 2.22m

3rd Marble 2.48m

Conclusion:

That the higher the elevation of the ruler (our track) the further the distance of the marble will travel. The power that was created by the elevation is the physics in our investigation.

The Season of Lent

Walht about the Season of Lent:

• Lent is a time of 40 days and 40 nights.  
• Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and the people recieve the ashes on their head as a sign of penance.
• Fasting is part of Lent and it is when you give up something.
• Lent is part of the  liturgical year and it all starts with Ash Wednesday which is a Holy Day of obligation.

• Ash Wednesday is when the father puts in sprinkles of water and oil in the ashes of the palm leaves that were left over from Palm Sunday on the year before.
• The Priest (Father Andrew) mixed the ashes until it is not dry or wet.
• The ashes are put on the forehead in the sign of the cross.
