Websites/Newton's Laws

http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/history/newton3laws.html This week in science we are making websites. The websites are on our roller coaster. They can have anything from music to pictures. We explain how newton's laws are used. Also, we can even add pictures of the coaster itself. This is truly great. Here is some more information about websites that you might not know. First websites were mainly made in the 1990's. Also, You can access websites from the Internet. Now Newton's first law is that everything in motion must stay in motion unless it is stopped. His second has to do with ratios of the objects mass and force. His third law says that for every force there is a opposite force. This is what I learned in school this week.

Nuclear Energy

Iran has begun testing nuclear energy in Bushehr on Wednesday. This was a Russian built plant that started out as a German one. The German workers did not finish it and in 1994 Russia finished it. Since both German and Russian designs were used, the testing was delayed. This raises question to what Iran will do with it's nuclear energy. This is what the article was about this week.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/26/world/middleeast/26iran.html?_r=1&ref=world

Roller Coasters!

This week in class we are making roller coasters! The only catch is that they have to be made out of toilet paper tubes. Also, we have to label them. Lastly, we can't make them death traps. Our roller coaster has a jump. It also has a tall hill. Also, it goes through a funnel bottle. One piece about this is that there is a roller coaster in Germany from The Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim. Also, there is a roller coaster in Blue Diamond Park in the U.S.A.! This is what I learned in class.

Earthquake!

On Monday an earthquake happened! But, it was closer than you would expect. It turns out that it happened right here in New Jersey! Some people thought it was a bomb while others thought it was a thud. The earthquake luckily, was a 3.0 and did not do much damage. However that is still pretty big for this area. Also no one was injured. I think that this was very lucky event for the people of northern New Jersey. I also think that people should learn to watch out for earthquakes more. In conclusion, this article was interesting.
