 In science we are starting to make solar ovens. You make a solar oven then we are cooking smores.  . You  bring the  stuff you need to make your oven. To start to make your oven you need a shoe box tin foil and seranrap. The tin foil is for the reflection of the heat to go into the box to cook the smores. You cut a medeam size hole at the top of the box. You dont want to cut it off.. You then take the tin foil and put it over the flap that is still on the box. tape it on. Then you take the seran wrap and put it over the hole in the box so the hot air doesnt escape. You dont want shiney paper in the bottem of the box because it will reflect the heat up again. You want dark paper so it can absobe the light and get warm and bake the bottem of the smore. It whould be a good idea if you put insolation in the botom of the box and cover it with tin foil. Hope You Have Luck Billding Yours. There rally fun :)

 Ones like we made




Fancier ones.

Cooking

Today I made cookies for the class. They were Chocolate Whoopie amd were very sweet.

solving equations

this week in math we how to solve equations with additions.ex y+3=7 add -3 to both sides so the solution is that y=4.

Solving Equations by Addition

Solving equations is easy, but the hard part is showing your work.
1. m + 12 = 22

I know the answer is ten, but how did I get ten? First you add the opposite of what your adding. Since you have to be fair, you do that on both sides of the equation.
1. m + 12 + (-12) = 22 + (-12)

The negative twelve cancels out the positive twelve that you add, so the only part left is the answer.
1. m = 22 + (-12)

And we know that that equals ten.
1. m= 10


Here is another example.
2. x - 12 = 22
x - 12 + 12 = 22 + 12
x = 22 + 12
x = 34

Underground To Canada

In E.L.A. we are reading a book called under ground in Canada.It is about slavery and the slaves have to pick cotton every day besides Sunday. Sunday is there day of work if you are working for the Henson family you get to play games and laugh and talk to any one the Henson plantation lets you do what ever you like on Sunday.

Solar ovens

Today in science we are starting to make solar ovens you have to make a solar oven and were making smores with them you can have a partner or just go by your self and my partner is mathew. You can bring some of your stuff you need to make your oven today for science to start to make your oven.

Solving equations by addition

Today in math we learned how to solve equations by using addition. Here is an example

X-3=5

X-3+(-3)=5+3

X=8

How to overhand serve

In volleyball you have to be able to serve overhand otherwise you dont get any points. first throw the ball up a little not to high otherwise you will miss the ball. then step into the ball with your arm back that BAM hit the ball as hard as you can and you should be able to get it over the net.

Solving equations by addition

So here is an equation n-6=8 Now we have to make the equation true but we have to show how we got the answer. So now that we know the equation you have to get the variable alone so you do this n-6+6=8+6. That is how the equation should look like because we have to get the variable alone so -6 plus +6 equals 0 and 8+6=14. So n=14 Here is another example
y-5=9
y-5+5=9+5
y=14
Now every equation has a different answer so that is how i know
