THINKING QUESTIONS

1 Tell us when this event happened and explain what might happen in the future. This was discovered quite a while ago and I think people are going to discover other things that can be powered with static electricity.

2 Explain in your own words why this event took place. This event took place because energy  saving light bulbs use power similar to static electricity.

3 Use the Dictionary in the bottom right hand corner to find the meaning of 3 words from the article: Fluorescent = giving off electromagnetic radiation (especially in the form of light); bright, glowing (of colors).

Learning back strum.

                                                            

         

Today we learned how to play back strum. It was hard at first but then you get the hang of it and then you just can't stop. After you learn how to do it you can also come up with cool patterns like the one at the end of the video. Back strum is done after you have strummed down, all you do is just strum back up using  your thumbnail. 

                                                                                    

WALT: experiment with sound.

On the eighth of June me Tylar and Lucy investigated sound with four glasses of water. The glass with the most water makes a lower sound because it vibrates slower because there is more water in it than the ones that make higher sounds, the one with the least amount of water makes a higher sound because it vibrates faster.

WALT: solve one digit times two digit problems.
