Science

Let's continue exploring unbalanced forces in order to understand Newtons' First Law of Motion.

Let's watch the video, Click Here , on Generation Genius:

You will learn that:

Force has both strength and direction.

Unbalanced forces cause an object to change its motion.

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion.

Next, watch the video about an egg drop using the Inertia:

If you have the materials at home,  please carry out this simple egg drop experiment under Procedure on the Generation Genius page with your parents.

Next, let's play an online quiz to see what you learned from the video and/or experiment! Good luck!

Social Studies

This week we will be beginning our exploration of the Golden Age in African Empires. Before we talk about these empires, let's get a better understanding of the continent of Africa and its amazing people by looking at a monumental time in its history-- the Bantu Migration.

Let's watch a video to learn more about the Bantu Migration

Interview (as your family members questions) to find out if they or their family members have always lived in New York City. If not where did your family members begin their migration? Who came from where?

Questions you can ask your family:

1. Did you always live in NYC?
2. Where did our family members come from?
3. Why did they decide to come to NYC?

Next:

Draw a picture to show your family's heritage and honoring where they came from. It could be of a favorite meal, a type of dress or a word in another language. Post your photo or video on ClassDojo.

For example,  my family now lives in New York City but we began our journey from Jamaica and France and before that from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Senegal in Africa. My drawing would be of the national dish in Jamaica which is ackee and salt fish. It's delicious!
