September precept

Mr. Browne’s September precept is “when given the choice between being right and being kind, CHOOSE KIND”. What I have to do is write two paragraphs or more. For me it’s quite hard to explain, so I thought it would be easier to give an example.

My example is… let’s say you are sitting next to a new student in class. He needs help with his work, and he’s too shy to ask for help. You can either be right or not help, and let him struggle or you can help the new student, and maybe get a new friend. That is what I think that precept means.

March Precept

 The March Precept this month is: “Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.” —Blaise Pascal. My thoughts on this precept is that it is very strong, it’s saying that kind or respectful words don’t cost much to say, but they can accomplish or change many things when done. I suppose what its meaning to say is that kind or respectful words do not cost much to say, it’s not costing you anything to say it, or it is not taking anything from you, and if said, that kind word, or sentence, can really achieve many things, like making a person’s day better, and maybe even influencing that person to say something nice to another. So try to say more kind words to one another, because it won’t cost you anything at all, but it will help others get through tough times, or even make there day even better!

 

  This precept reminds me of a time I used kind words, and made me feel good about myself. One time my friends and I were playing Basketball and one my friend was missing shots. He started to give up a bit, but each time any of us missed a shot, we all said kind things to each other, even though we weren’t on the same team. When we said these kind words, you could see that person get happy, because you can see a smile on their face grow. That made me feel good inside because of these kind words, we prevented each other to feel bad or lose hope about hitting shots. We all had fun at the end and realized not to be competitive, but to be kind, because that won’t cost as much as being rude.

INQUIRY

Question: How does Gravity work? What is it?

My Inquiry Project will be about GRAVITY!! , to start off, I’ll explain what Gravity is. Gravity is what pulls you to the ground every time you jump. Without Gravity, you’d float up and pass Earth’s Atmosphere. Any object that has mass is affected by gravity. Gravity acts like a magnet which pulls objects, with mass, to the ground. What causes Gravity is unknown.

 

Today, I learned that sometimes people confuse mass with weight, when really, weight is the result of mass.

Today I learned what mass was made of and what it does. Mass is made of the stuff matter is made of, Molecules. Molecules are a bond of Atoms together, and Atoms are made of the three subatomic particles: Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Mass is also the amount of stuff in an object. Mass is measured in KG (Kilograms).

Today I did more research and Found out that there was a Scientist (I think) named Galileo Galilei, who wanted to figure out which would come down first, a ten pound ball or a five pound ball. Both balls came down at the same time. Gravity works the same on all objects, unless wind, or anything else, comes in the way.

 

I also found out how strong Gravity. Just imagine Gravity pulling on everything and not letting it go, not even light! This is the start of a black hole. The gravity in the black hole pulls everything into the center which may be small as a single atom. This makes a black hole not visible! There are at least approximately more than a million black holes in the Galaxy!

So how do Astronauts float in space if the pull of Gravity is so strong? Well, the Astronauts are still being pulled by Earth’s Gravity, just the same as the rest of us.

 

I also learned more facts on Sir Isaac Newton, who is known-credited for explaining Gravity. Like the fact that he published all his ideas in a book in 1687, and his famous three laws of motion!

 

What is matter?

Matter is what is needed to make/cause mass. Matter is made of molecules, which are made with Atoms. There are 5 states of matter: Liquid, Solid, plasmas, Gases (Clouds and stuff), and be condensates.

The Inquiry Fair is going to come up soon, so I have to get more facts, and start formatting my poster on Gravity. I found out a fact I should have known, Gravity keeps planets in orbit.

Just to sum it all up, Gravity has a gravitational pull which only works with objects that have mass, the pull is stronger or weaker depending on the amount of Mass the object has. Gravity is a force of attraction. You can exert a gravitational pull on the people around you, but it won’t be super strong.
