Balanced and unbalanced forces

Crayon advertisement

Our class is doing persuasive writing. to start this topic we learnt about adds because they are trying to persuade you to by their product. We decided we wanted to enter an add competition so we split into groups to create our own adds. I went on my own and did an add about crayons. I used stop motion and a green screen to create my add. the difficult parts where trying to get my pencils to stand up and it was especially difficult because I worked on my own and I had no one to help. The good parts where that it was easy to create my add because I had a really good plan. I am happy that I met the deadline and that my class really enjoyed my add.

This week for homework I continued some writing I am doing at school. The title of my writing is Hidden life (part two). here is a snapshot of the first paragraph.

They were afraid, but they called upon all their courage to overcome what was happening. There  was a human in front of them with his eyes closed and chanting some mysterious words. All of a sudden they started to feel less real, they glanced down at themselves they were starting to fade away from existence. They fled out of the town hall from this man in terror and panic all heading in different directions. One of them a little boy ran into a museum and stopped to catch his breath at an Egyptian exabit. The exhibit was about the eye of Horus and what it could do. It was legended that it could prevent magic from being used, but every wizard and witch new that that was a fact. The young wizard gazed up at the eye of Horus and saw that it was faintly glowing. The boy felt more real, he looked down at his feet they were more solid. He wanted to get out of this museum and try to find that man so he slowly creeped across the stone floor of the museum. But when the eye of Horus was out of eyesight he started to fade again. The wizard quickly ran back into the room with the eye of Horus and thought, it won't be that easy.

To make this little game I had to think about all the forces that might affect a cannonball's flight. Change the different sliders to alter how the cannon ball will fly and the press space to shoot it.
