Learning about Balance

Action Splatter Painting

Today, students worked on career clusters and used several different methods of brainstorming. Some students made webs and others made lists. They listed 3 skills for each career and came up with 5 questions they would ask someone with the specific occupation.

1.) ART: Check your learning reflection to make sure you followed all the instructions. Click here.

2.) PAR:

List three things you learned about 'balance' today.
Ask two students questions about what they learned.
Respond to any questions you received.

@ Everyone - If you could choose any job in the agriculture, food, and natural resource cluster, what job would you choose and why?

I would be a person that discovers new recipes

( Do those even exist )

🌟🍼👶🏻 Balance👶🏻🍼🌟

1} I learned that it's hard to balance things on the wooden stick.
2} It was really difficult to put the cups on the end of the wooden stick with out it tipping over.
3} You have to put the right things on the wooden stick if you don't want everything to fall: :for example small items in both of the cups and it would be even so yeah!!.

I will be back if I get questions🤗.

1: You need to have equal weight on the thing to balance it.

2: You need a good base to balance hings on.

3: Balance all depends on weight.

If I would to pick a job I would want to be a milk maid I guess because they seem like big help when it comes to milking cows. And they probably help the milk man deliver milk as well🍼🤗!!.

1) If the base is flat it is harder to tilt over.
2) If the base is round it is easier tilt over.
3) Balance is all about weight.

Balance
====================
1) If you have something really heavy like a 1k weight metal bar and balance it on a rod symmetrically, then they will stay still.
2) If you have 2 heavy rods and put them together like the Jesus cross then the lower part will fall.
3) If you have a long cylinder and put it on the long part like its a jail bar then you will have to steady it like there's no tomorrow.

~Balance~

1.) What I learned about balance is that it doesn't matter how many things there are compared to just one object, because one object compared to many can be heavier.

2.) Balancing things might look easy, but it's not. That's what I learned about balance today. It's like stacking blocks, it might look easy, but it's not, because it always collapses.

3.) What I also learned about balance is that it all matters what the base is. The base has to be flat so that the things can balance properly.

I would pick scientist as my job so I can tell if what food is edible or inedible. Also, I picked this because I want to learn more about science.

Balance
1)Both sides doesn't have to be the same weight because of the block.
2)If both sides are the same weight, but if you move the base more to a side, the whole thing would not be able to balance.
3)I also learned that balancing depends on the base shape and size.

1. I learned that you need to have heavier things at the bottom and lighter things at the top for it to balance.

2. I also learned that even if you have one of the sides longer but the shorter side has added waight it will stay balanced.

~Balance~
( This is based on what the classmates have said and my B.K)

1)Have a steady base. Make sure it is a decent size
2)Make sure the object you are trying to balance is equal.
3)Make sure you don't have an object that is bigger then the base.
4)It's all about the weight.

P.S - Tried my best.

What I learned about balance.

1.) You have to make sure you have the base in the middle that would make it way easier.

2.) You have to make the weight exact of the other side other wise it would tilt to the side with the most weight.

3.) Make sure your base is strong and you have to make sure your base will not move around.

1.If one wieght or item is heavier than the other item it will totally fall.

2.If you have the same amount of wieght on each ends,it eould be balanced beacuse its the same wieght on each ends.

3.Jesse said balance is all about wieght and i agree.

------Balancing------

1) it was really hard to balance on wooden sticks because the sticks are really fin.

2) it is possible to balance a heavy item if you have multiple items on the other side that equals the same weight.

3) make sure the way at the bottom is in the middle so can support both sides.

@Mr.hong I don't know what I want to be when I grow up

Mr. Hong

@ Jagger - What are some of your favourite hobbies? What do you feel are your strengths? Many of us have dreams of becoming a police officer, a firefighter, a teacher, a doctor, etc. What is your dream?

Jasmine

2/15/2017 08:43:13 pm

I learned that :

1: if one side is heavier It will sink lower than the lighter side.

2 :in order to have it straight you will need the sides to be equal

3 : the fulcrum usually must be in the middle

Tada!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

1: To me it was hard to balance stuff on the wood it has to be the some stuff on both sides
2: if one side has more then the other it is hard to balance
3: it's like a pyramid if one side has more then the other it is hard to balance

1. That it's easyier to balance the when one side is heavier.
2. That it's easy to put playdoh on something and then stick it some where.
3. That being in groups help 70% more than working by yourself.

Chance

@Mr.Hong- I have to talk to you about something.

Mr. Hong

2/15/2017 10:31:24 pm

@ Chance - Feel free to come speak to me at school tomorrow and you can also email me.

Things about balance
1) Its cool because you try to balance things
2)its SCIENCE
3)you can balance by putting heavy things on one side and lighter things on the other side
4) if you stand on the middle of the wood you can balance out

Natural resources
I would be a blacksmith
so I can make weapons for people to go hunting with and I can compete on a show call ''Forged in Fire''

*Balance*

1.) I learned that you have to move the little piece of wood to balance it between the 1 kg weight and the little weight and rock.
2.) I also learned that you have to move things so you can balance it.
3.) It's easier to balance if both sides are the same

Maybe a veggie farmer? If I would pick a job, I would be a person that farms stuff related to potatoes.

Balance questions
1: I learned that 1200 grams of weight is more heavier then a lot of things combined
2: That it doesn't make a different if something over the edge
3: that things can fall

1) both sides must have equal weight
2) if you put more weight in the bottom it will be easier to balance stuff
3) if you try you put light stuff in the bottom it will not balance that well

Amiracle

Balance
1.) both sides must be equal weight
2.) if you put more weight on one side but not the other then it will not balance that well
3.) put weight on the middle so it will be better to balance

Chance

@Mr.Hong- bills are all payed I can still do the par.

Ashley

Balance
1) Both sides must be equal
2) If there's more weight on another side, it will not balance
3)To make it balance more, put weight in middle
