Hi. Today, I got a lot of work done. I had my first big experience with Glogger. These are the biggest things I did today...
1. I started my glog on the Box Jellyfish!
2. I figured out how to upload pictures!
3. I helped Sean, Obed, and Carlton with pictures!
4. I uploaded a bunch of pics!
5. I finished Goal 1!
6. Next class, I'm gonna finish Goal 2!
7. And, write a letter to a real professional scientist!
GOOD DAY(:

Scientific Method
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD!
The scientific method is a tool that scientists use to figure out tests or experiments.
SGHERC = Scooby Got Hurt Eating Roasted Chicken
S= State the Problem
G= Get Information
H= Hypothesis
E= Experiment
R= Record Data
C= Conclusion
Here is our Pocket Tanks Experiment!
Here is a slide show on some pictures and a description of some weapons!

Conclusion: In the game, I conclude that changing the power really is the best way to win the game. I personally think that changing the power really changes your odds of winning the game. If you change your angle, it will change where you hit, but, without enough power, you will never get there!
THANK YOU!!!!

Pocket Tanks and The Scientific Method!
State the Problem: Do you think that adjusting the angle or power helps the most with winning the game?
Gather Information: Pocket Tanks is a game that you can either buy or download and is a great game to play! You play against another person (or the computer) and you try to hit them and get points. You can change the angle, power and weapon. Pocket Tanks was created by Blitwise productions and is compatible with Windows and Mac. I think that this game is a great way to show how learning about physics can be fun!
Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that changing the power helps the most because if you don't have enough power, you can never get to the other tank!
Experiment: Here are the steps to playing Pocket Tanks:
1. http://www.blitwise.com/downloads.html <---- Go here to download Pocket Tanks! (This is the way to get to the game. 2. Follow all the installation questions and say yes (or run and save file). 3. After you download the game, go to Google. 4. Click "More" at the top of the page and click "Documents". 5. Login. 6. After you login, start a new spreadsheet document. (Weather or not you play against a friend or the computer, this document will help you record your data.) 7. In the top spaces, we will be writing the titles of each column. 8. In A2, write Partner 9. In B2, write Hit Number 10. In C2, write Angle 11. In D2, write Power 12. In E2, write Weapon 13. In F2, write Moves 14. In G2, write Hit or Miss 15. In H2, write Location X,Y 16. In I2, write Points 17. Go back to the link and begin your game. (Go through putting your name in, color and choosing your weapons) 18. TURN OFF SOUND! (Found in options) 19. Add the data into your spreadsheet. 20. Post as a website and you're done!
