We have spent the last few days discussing two very important scientific words -- FORCE and MOTION.  It is time for you to show what you know about these words so far.  Here are some learning targets we've discussed so far:

• Motion of an object can change by speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.
  
• Forces cause changes of motion.
  
• When you apply force on an object in same direction the speed of that object will increase. When you apply force in opposite direction, that object's speed will decrease.
  
• The more mass an object has, the less effect a given object has on its motion. (You can watch this video about mass vs. weight).
  

Here's what you are going to post on your Digital Portfolio:
1) Choose ONE of the learning targets from above.
2) In your own words, explain what the learning target means.  Put this into "5th grade English."
3) Use your science journal and examples from our experiments in class.
4) A really cool picture/diagram might help too.  You can search for images/diagrams by clicking here.  DO NOT USE GOOGLE IMAGES PLEASE!!

Embed your Portfolio Presentation onto your Weebly.  Here is the step-by-step procedure:

1) Make sure you have TWO TABS open. 
2) Login to Google Apps and Open your Winter Portfolio Presentation.
3) Go to File > Publish To The Web.
4) Click “Embed”
5) Under Slide Size, select “Small”. 
6) Click “Publish”
7) Copy the HTML Code. 
8) Paste the code into their Weebly page.
9) When finished, make sure you click “POST” in the top right corner of Weebly.
10) Refresh your Digital Portfolio page and make sure your Portfolio Presentation shows up on the page.

Here is the link to the "A Sincere Compliment" video.  You can link to this video, or embed it into your Digital Portfolio.
