LEARNING LOG WEEK 7

MATH: I did multiplication.  Say it’s 58 x 67.  You would put (50+8) x (60+ 7).  Then you put (50x60) + (50x7)+ (8x60) + (8x7). Then you would solve those and add them together.  An easy way to do it is if you’re multiplying numbers that have zeros at the end then you could just take the zeros off...multiply the numbers...then add the zeros at the end.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did some worksheets in All About Reading.  I did handwriting and writing.  I colored a picture of a farmhouse.  I been reading a classics book.

SCIENCE:  We got a jar and we made a terrarium.  We put charcoal to help with mold problems, then put rocks, then dirt over top of the rocks.  Then we put seeds in there and water.  Now we never have to water it again because the water will heat up from the sun and turn into water vapor.  Then it cools down and turns back to a liquid and drops down.

ENGINEERING:  I built a catapult.  The Tinker Crate gave me some balls, and I built a score board.  There’s a bunch of square blocks, some of them have holes.  You pull the catapult back and try to score in one of the holes.  There’s also a scoreboard.  The little ones are worth 2 points and the big ones are worth one.

KARATE: I’ve been mostly just reviewing my punches and kicks.  I was doing my one-steps with my friend, Paxton.  He’s a green belt.  I showed everyone the forms I know.  I know 3 forms.  One of them is called gichyonilbu.  Then gixhionbusilbusongup.  Then gixhionyebu.
