I think newtons third law of motion is the most important for making the balloon move the way it did because 'for every action there is always an opposite and equal reaction" when the balloon lets out air it causes it to fly (it goes the opposite way) just like a rocket would but their are certain things on rockets to make it move the way it does and obviously its not on balloons so when the balloon is already in the air it moves all over the place and thats because it hits air and makes it move in different ways it has an opposite and equal reaction.

Shut down your screens week By Ellen Parker should take part in the shutdown you screens week because computer cell phones etc. are actually causing us to learn less “if were distracted, we understand less remember less, and learn less” when you’re on your phone taking calls remembering emails all of this can change how we behave. Computers can change how we think they can make it hard to interact with family or even find relationships staying off devices could greatly benefit people. One reason parker should join in on the event is because When were on are devises we get distracted maybe by incoming calls, text, emails but whatever it might be these things break are train of thought when you’re always on these things you can’t think deeply and that is exactly what we need to be doing “we end up scatterbrained. The fact is you’ll never think deeply again” spending time off the web in school could help because we are away from home and don’t have the opportunity’s to get on are phones (obviously we are not allowed to have phones in school). Most kids when they get home from school go directly to their devises this break in school could help kids learn more. Another reason why parker should join in on shutdown your screens week is because some kids get stressed with all of the work they have to do plus they will proubly be on social media after school this can get them stressed out it can affect people’s behavior. “heavy multitaskers actually have more trouble focusing and shutting out irrelevant information, scientist say, and they experience more stress” when people have to keep track of different information it can get stressful they could lash out at people and even after it ends people still have hard times focusing. Parker should participate in the event because it can give family’s more time to interact and it doesn’t have to be with just family it can be with your friends some people always have to have their phones on them and it can get annoying when you’re trying to have a conversation with someone “ we didn’t go out to dinner that night Mrs. Campbell mourned we just sat there on are devises” when people are constantly on their phones they lose track of what their supposed to be doing, there not in the moment. In conclusion people in parker could need the screens off for a week it could help bring family’s closer help with behavior and help kids focus maybe instead of focusing on your social media you could be out having fun with your friends.


 * we are thinking about the inter connectivity of the sea land**

inter connectivity is not were one animal eats another its when one animal gives energy to another for example krill give energy to a blue whale. this is called a food web almost everything gives energy to other living things. it is very important that these food webs are not messed up, animals depend on other animals to eat and when their prey is gone they die because they have no food sometimes they might feed on different things and this may messup the food chain

 * medieval manor**

the castle was made of seperate parts the turret was at the top of the castle. guards were setup on the top, they watched over the land to keep watch of any enemy's if there was any enemy's they would warn people in their village to come in the castle then they would lift the drawbridge. another important part of the castle is the treasure room things like weapons,coins and other valuebles were stored their. sometimes the enterance was very hard to find so if any enemy were to come into the castle it would be very hard to find.
 * the castle**

churchs did not have any pews or seats but it did have an altar. the clergy were the only people who could read or write they wrote about what happened on the manor. because of there writing we know so much about the medieval times.
 * the church**

the manor house had usually relatives of the lord or vassals housed in the manor. vassals would have to pledge themselves to a king or a lord they would then have to have a feudal contract saying he would be the king or lords vassal for the rest of his life.vassals jobs were to keep the people in the manor safe from intruders and that poeole did there job.

Ellen - I like your WIKI. This morning try to finish answering questions on Feudalism (3-5 sentences for each question) as well as working on the new task about life in the manor. Mr. W

1. Is feudalism a fair system? Why or why not? the feudalism system was not fair because the serfs had to give up a lot of their money to the higher power. serfs should have some money to use because a lot of them were poor and starving. serfs did lots of farming which is very important for a town so they should not have almost all their money taken away from them

2. What was your role in our activity? How did you feel in your role? i was a serf it was a little annoying to see almost all my M&Ms be given away to the knights but it was funny to see that even though they had a lot of candy they had to give a lot of theres M&Ms away. everyone had to give there candy away

3. Do you think serfs ever tried to revolt? Why or why not? yes because it was very unfair for the serfs they had too give a lot of their money to the knights but lots of serfs could barley pay for anything then they had a lot of their money taken away from them. a lot of them were proubly killed for protesting like that but it was not fair for them.

one thing that was very interesting about the story is that harold was shipwrecked in took hostage

Malala the powerful By: Ellen Malala Yousafzai is a, “courageous fighter in the struggle to help girls go to school” in the poem __In Darkest Hours__ it describes a person who is courageous Malala is like this person. Malala blogged about her determination to get an education and her dreams. Malala helped to improve the life for many girls.

Malala is a courageous young girl just like the person described in the poem __In Darkest Hours__ “in 2009 she began blogging for the BBC she wrote about her dream of becoming a doctor and her fierce determination to get an education”. the poem says “there are those who find shelter when the landscape is pounded by rain” this means that when time gets hard some people stay away from the danger but Malala wanted to fight for girls to get their education, it would be very easy for the Taliban to find out what she was blogging about.

Another reason why Malala is courageous is because Malala went to school even though she was told not to, she “hid her books under her clothing.” This shows that she was like the courageous girl in the poem. Malala went to school even though she got threats from the Taliban. She did what she wanted and she was very determined. Malala risked going to school every day for her education.

In conclusion Malala Yousafzai is very courageous like the person in the poem. Malala helped many girls go to school. She fought for many girls rights even putting her own life in danger. Have you ever meet someone as courageous as Malala?
