Chiara's Scribe Post 4th Quoter

Tuesday 10th Science class

Hello everybody, Tuesday class was our last class to build the compound machine, I am writing  for the team of the Cookie monster!! The compound machine it's a big machine made of simple machine. There are seven simple machine.
Those are:
Incline plane
Screw
wheel and axle
pulleys
wedges
Levers
Gears


In this big machine there ere all of the simple machines or almost all of them, because there are no wedges. Wedges break things a part, and this machine there is no kind of thing happening. As you can see the roller is a inclined plane. The little wheels on the top of the inclined plane is a wheel and axle. At the top of the machine 
there one screws build. In this machine there are also third class lever. But any thing is wouldn't work with out a pulley, infact the main thing wouldn't move, because the 
pulley brings the ball up and it make it do every think again. In the middle of the class parents 
came to see our machine. After in class came the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade to see our machine. 
When they came the room was really loud and every body was yelling: cool!!! 
At some point Ms.D. told as to clean up all the pieces were left  on the floor,  and she ask as to test our machine before we would leave the room The Cookie Monster  machine worked well, because all four track worked; however, the Evil Elf machine 
only two track of four worked well. 
DO NOT FORGET to go and look at other post, ther is also interesting facts about simple machines!!!!
Here some links that can help:




 The home work is to email Ms.D and to take notes. Make your blog comment, Which is due Friday the 20th, but that day we are in Swizerland.
Real life example: The  roller coster, refer to the ramp of the machine


Next scribe is..........Vale!!!!!

  1. Hey Chiara! The links, and colors were great, but maybe some more pictures of, for example, a pulley or lever. On the other hand, the content had various spelling and grammar mistakes. I also think you could have gone into more depth about the incline plane, screw, wheel and axle, pulleys, wedges, levers, and gears. Another little thing is that you could have put spaces between the labels because it is a bit complicated to read. All in all, good job!

  2. Hello Chiara,
    This post is good! You had colors, links, pictures, good science and explanations and a lot of other good things. Your spelling and grammar was a little off, but don't worry about that! You had good explanations on the big machine and the little machines, also the videos, but you could've gone further with that. Your labels were kind of hard to read! Over all good first post of the 4th quarter!!!

  3. Hi there Chiara - I can see improvement here from your last post. nice inclusion of pictures and links (I love that you used Brainpop!). But the pictures have no captions and some of your links do not work correctly. Your spelling and grammar are better. Some of the words/sentences cut off in the middle making it difficult to follow. You also have some of the science wrong - there are wedges on the compound machine and there are gears, but there are no pulleys. You could have gone further with your explanation of these simple machines (although your videos did help here!). The real-life example is a good start, but you have not explained enough of a simple or compound machine relationship. Overall, nice improvement from last quarter and I am glad to see you are reading the rubric before publishing your work. ~Ms. D.

  4. Chiara- this post was better than your last one, but I still think that you could have done better. First I like the way you used colors and pictures, although i think that you could have had more pictures. I like that you put links, but they were kind of mixed up, like incline plane was not one link, and when you clicked on plane you got a video on levers, and also they were displayed in a strange way. Some things that I think you could improve on is your grammar and spelling. I noticed a lot of mistakes in that area. And some of your information is not really true, as in the compound machine did not have any pulleys but it had all of the other six. The THING that brought the balls up was a sprocket gear, not a pulley, even though it may look like it. I think that this post could have been longer and had a little bit more detail on what we were doing. I think that you could have explained the seven simple machines better because you nearly let that all be explained in your video which was kind of weird. Also some of your words got cut off and started on one line and ended on the other. You also mixed up the labels and did not put commas in between them. I think that you could have done better and I think that you should try harder next time. Over all this was an okay post.

  5. Hi Chiara,
    I think that overall this post was okay. It had nice pictures of what you did in class on that day, although you could have included pictures of the simple machines. The pictures that you included also do not have any captions which can make a post rather confusing.The captions could have included the team name and what you were currently working on. You also had a few of both grammar and spelling errors in your scribe post. The simple machines that you used in your post, also were not explained very well. You could have included a short definition to what they are. Overall, the colors you used or fine, although they are a little bright and the way you organized the post is also good.
    Next time try to not forget to proof read your work and space out your labels.

  6. Hi Chiara,
    This post is much better than before! You had a couple of pictureslinks, and quite a bit of detail. There are some things you could change - add captions to your pictures, put a link for a whole phrase (every single word in "wheel and axle" is labeled, which is confusing) and put commas inbetween the labels - right now, it's all one label. You have some spelling/grammar mistakes and annoying line breaks. The science was not too good - you should have explained more about the simple machines, you shouldn't have just added links. Your real life example is also a bit too general and you could have gone a bit more in-depth. However, you had very exciting voice, you had great color, and you have really improved over the course of this school year! Good job!! :)

  7. Hey Chiara,
    I liked your post, and I like that you put a lot of hyperlinks, but when i clicked "plane", for inclined plane, I got levers, so it didn't make much sense. Also, you did a lot of grammatical and spelling mistakes, like in one of the last sentences, you wrote "DO NOT FORGET to go and look at other post, there is also interesting facts a bout simple machines!!!!", but you should have written "look at THE other post", because otherwise the sentence is wrong, and "therE ARE also interesting facts ABOUT simple machines", you need to add another e to there, change is to are because it's plural, and about is all attached! Anyway the colors were really good and I liked the pictures of the Cookie Monsters, even thought you should have added one about the evil elves! The science was pretty good, but some of the simple machines you named were wrong (like pulleys) because there were no (even thought the chain might be mistaken as one). Overall really good post!

  8. Chiara,
    You had a good post but there were some mistakes you had some typos and grammer mishaps. But your information and pictures were good. Your links were helpful as well. You could have put a little more into the post and some more explaination about the machines would have been nice.
