Week 6

Yes my response we correct. I use resources for each blog to back up my answer. For ever week I took my time to do my blog and use resources to help me.
The blog that was the best is week 5. The week 5 blog showed use three things to remember. One, If you want to be successful with a team you have to work together, listen, and ever one has to help each other to wake the work successful. Three, there is no I in team.
What I can do in the next cycle of blogs to improve the writing is use more resources to help me prove my point.

Week5_Prompt#1

Increase in volume of a material as its temperature is increased, usually expressed as a fractional change in dimensions per unit temperature change. When the material is a solid, thermal expansion is usually described in terms of change in length, height, or thickness. If a crystalline solid has the same structural configuration throughout, the expansion will be uniform in all dimensions. Otherwise, there may be different expansion coefficients and the solid will change shape as the temperature increases.

If the material is a fluid, it is more useful to describe the expansion in terms of a change in volume. Because the bonding forces among atoms and molecules vary from material to material, expansion coefficients are characteristic of elements and compounds.In conclusion what happen is higher the temperature the lower the density.

Week 4-Winner Takes All

The problem the Design Squad fasts is the squad has to create a sled that goes down a hill on grass, the snow.The strategies they fast are trying different sleds.The squid use wood for seats.Also the squid use rollers to attach to the sled to go smooth. Also the squad attach wheels to the sled one on front and the other in the back.The squad work together by listening to each other and not yelling to each other.The squad learn from one another by working together and ever one had there part on building the sled.They support each other by listing and working hard.
I would approach the problem by getting a squid just like the blue team.What I learn about this is that always work together to be successful.
You can when win like a team if you work hard and listen and not yell to each other.You can win in a team like team blue did!

Week3_Prompt#2

When water evaporates (changes from a liquid to a gas), the air neat the water's surface becomes cooler because of the physical process of the evaporation of water it's an endothermic.
The necessary energy to break is the hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the liquid releasing them into the air is thermal energy taken from the liquid, cooling it.
It will come from both the surface layer of the water and the air close to the water's surface.When its energy reaches a certain level it becomes gas and leaves the liquid and with it some of the heat energy leaves the liquid.

Week2_Prompt#2

Did you that fifty percent of the electricity in the U.S is produced by burning coal.The mechanical energy is provided by steam which turns this is connected to the magnet or coil to make it spin.The steam is produced by water being super heated,that's thermal energy.

Coal is a rock that was formed by compressed plants that died millions of years ago. Energy from those plants was stored in the coal. And plants get their energy directly from the sun.Light from the sun to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water in a process called photosynthesis.
What I learn about in trace electrical energy back to the sun, is that every time one form of energy is converted into another some of it is lost as heat.
We can also convert the light from the sun directly into electricity.

Week1_Prompt#2

When I bounce the ball up its potential energy. When the ball drops its kinetic energy.
The moment it hits the ground potential energy becomes nathing.The ball bounces when it is stopped by your hands,when you let it go.When the basketball is in your hand, before it is dropped, it has full potential energy. Once that basketball is released from your hands, the potential energy is going to convert to kinetic energy.
What I learn about the kinetic-potential energy conversions that occur when a basketball bounce is alot.
Then the ball reaches your hand and all of the energy is back to potential energy.This cycle continues over and over again.Some of the energy that you bounce the basketball is transferred into sound energy.

technology in science

Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to solve practical problems, especially in industry and commerce. Science for me is a subject that can help me eversingle day. Also, study of things which exists around us, whose theories and facts have a proof of its own is referred as science.
