LEARNING LOG WEEK 12

MATH: I did order of operations with exponents. The order of operations is parenthesis, exponents, then multiply, divide, add, subtract left to right.  I did problems where I had to move the parenthesis around to find the right answer.  When you move the parenthesis around the answer becomes different.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I read a poem and learned about poetry.  I did spelling, writing, and handwriting.  I read from my Classic Reader. 

SCIENCE:  We learned about icebergs and the Titanic.  We got a big piece of ice and put it in a bowl.  We discovered that you can only see 10 % of the iceberg.  It can look like a really small iceberg floating in the water, but really there could be this huge iceberg under.  Then we took ice that had dirt in it, and we rolled it down a little bit of dirt and it picks up that and when it melts it leaves land.

ENGINEERING:  I'm still working on my planetarium.  Next, I'm going to put stickers that have months of the year and then I'll keep track of what month and turn it that much.  The stars on the planetarium should match up with the stars in the sky.

KARATE:  I earned my orange belt.  I went to a seminar for the whole day in Las Vegas.  I stayed there for Friday, Saturday, and then left Sunday morning.  I learned how to do some fun protection.  I did a kid's drill.  I did some sparring and won once.  I had fun with my dad and my brother.
