Los Tres Reyes Magos

In spain they have 3 kings istead of christmas, if you can read spanish under the picture there is some information in spanish.
Los Tres Reyes Magos literalmente significa "El Tres Reyes Magos", pero a menudo se interpreta en el sentido de "Los Tres Reyes Magos" o "Los Tres Reyes". Su día de fiesta (6 de enero) es referido como "Día de Reyes" o simplemente "El Día de los Reyes".
Como ustedes saben los Reyes Magos, Baltasar (Español = Baltasar), Gaspar y Melchor (= Melchor españoles) llegó doce días después del nacimiento de Jesús, llevando sus regalos famosos de oro, incienso y mirra.
Por lo tanto, en España, este es el día en que las personas dan y reciben regalos. Y como los niños en Estados Unidos y otros países podríanían esperar con gran expectación la llegada de Santa Claus, en España los niños esperan la llegada de los Reyes Magos.
El 5 de enero en la mayoría de las ciudades españolas es "la cabalgata" (el calvacade) que es un desfile que marca la llegada de los Reyes Magos. Los Reyes Magos montar en carrozas lanzando caramelos a los niños. En las Islas Canarias y Balaeric los Reyes Magos llegan en barco!
Después del desfile los niños regresan a sus hogares para prepararse para la llegada de los Reyes Magos. Ellos colocan sus zapatos en las
se cree que en realidad deja los regalos. Este es también el día en que los adultos reciben sus regalos aunquventanas y los llenan de paja, zanahorias y cebada para los asnos de los Reyes Magos. A veces también puede dejar algo de comida para los Reyes Magos. A la mañana siguiente los niños se despiertan temprano para abrir sus regalos. Aunque los niños como todos los delos Reyes Magos, su favorito es Baltasar porque él es el que e por los Reyes Msupuesto estos no son entregados por agos.

Paper Airplanes

 
In our class we had 3 different types of paper air planes. We did on blue, red, and yellow.

  1.  QUESTION:Which paper airplane will fly the farthest                                                                                                           
  2. RESEARCH: What i now about paper airplanes is limited. I have only made a few in my hole life, and they were not the best paper airplanes
  3. HYPOTHESIS: I think the yellow on will go the farthest.
  4. EXPERIMENT: We all got paper that was three different colors. Then we folded the three into different airplanes. Then in the hall we put tape on the ground so we could measure how far it went. We recorded how far they went and everyone had one in the class they threw them three times then got the average for each person. Then on the White Bord we wort them then found the Average for each color. Our materials are the paper, tape, tape measure, paper clips, and pencil. Independent Variables: How the air plane looked  Dependent Variables: How far the air plane went.
     5.DATA: We made a chart to record  how each air plane went.
     6. CONCLUSION: My hypothesis was wrong. The red one had the highest average and the yellow plane had the lowest average.

                                        This is my class in the hall throwing the air planes.

bouncing balls experiment

  1. Which of the bouncy balls are going to bounce the highest
  2. We described each ball like we named them, what they are made out of, what they were made out of and other
  3. Then we made a hypothesis that is that we think the  tennis ball will bounce the highest on all the surfaces ans the baseball would bounce the lest
  4. First we did in on the carpet and and we recorded how high they went and we did it three times and average them. Then we did it on a desk and did the same as on the carpet. By this we changed the variable by changing the location. We used a ruler to measure the heights, a notebook to keep track and the balls to do the experiment

What is a Variable? (read on and you will find out)
         A "variable" is a word for a quantity or condition that can change. Variables can be continuous or they can be discrete. Continuous variables can have many values . For example, time is continuous and can have many values. Plant growth, amount of sunlight or amount of water flowing are all continuous variables. Discrete variables are ones that have a few, distinct values. Something can be either on or off, present or absent, or have only several countable possibilities. A kitchen light can be on or off or a person may have blue, brown, green or hazel eyes.
Independent Variable
       An independent variable is a variable that you can control. One way to explain it to a child is that it is the variable that the child can change during the experiment. For example, in an experiment on the effect of light on plant growth, the child can control how much light a plant receives. He can put one plant near a window and another plant in a dark closet.
Dependent Variable
        A dependent variable is the variable that you observe and measure. You have no control over the dependent variable; you want to observe what happens to the dependent variable when you change the independent variable. For example, if the child is testing the effects of light on plant growth, how much the plant grows after some period of time would be the dependent variable. The child can measure how much the plant in the closet grows relative to how much the plant near the window grows.

5. We did charts and graphs 
This is the desk and carpet of all of there average 
 
f

 6. Then we said  that the lighter balls bounced high expert the green one because of its shape.

 7. Then we made our conclusion that is half right because the tennis ball went the highest on the carpet but it did not go the highest on the desk. The bouncy ball and the tennis ball went the tallest. That shows that an independent  variable can change your experiment
