Playing Video Games.

There's science in playing video games like the programming in the circuits to make all of the players or objects move. There is also how the programmer has to apply physics, Gravity, velocity and even the power of the kick to the soccer ball in Fifa. You need to know what the players stats are and how big the field is in real life. You would need to determine the wind and the weather. You would also need to determine injuries like a sprained ankle. For other games like Fortnite they have physics and gravity. Gravity is in Fortnite from all of the meteors behind pulled into the battlefield and Physics from their being hot air balloons. Gravity is Earth's force pulling objects like meteors, people, and apples to crash down and fall into the Earth. The Physics in hot air balloons is from the heating of a certain volume of gas normally Hydrogen making more heat inside the balloon making it able to rise into the air.

Go -Karting

This summer I went Go-Karting. The Go Kart uses the motor and the gas in the tank to create energy. The energy turns into acceleration for the Go-Kart. Friction also plays a role in Go-Karting, the amount of friction between the tires and the pavement changes the acceleration. This uses acceleration and friction. This is how the Friction and Acceleration affect the movement of Go-Karts. affects its movement. This represents the Physics category of Physical branch of science. That is the Science behind Go-Karting.

# data[].attributes.body
Over the summer while I was on vacation I went crabbing with my family. Crabbing is a part of science because you are trying to attract a crab using foods that they like such as crab necks. Crabbing falls under the Physical science branch. When you are checking the lines to see if you caught one you have to be gentle and slow to make sure the crab doesn't get scared and swim away. You also have to  find out what time of day there are a lot of
crabs to make it easier to catch one. When there is a giant pull at certain times of the day, it pulls all the crabs toward the  shore, this is called high or low tide. High tide is created by the pulling force of the moon This makes it easier to catch a crab because they are all in one spot wanting food. High tides are called Neap tides, they occur when the moon and sun are perpendicular to each other. Neap tides also occur during quarter moons. overall crabbing taught me a lot about science.

This summer every time I went to Ocean City I went fishing at least once.  I caught sharks, sea bass, flounder, and bluefish.  There is science in fishing because how the fish bite depend on the tides and weather.  For example if a storm is coming the fish will bite even better because they need to eat before a storm.  The fish biting will also depend on the bait. When I went sea bass fishing we used squids. There is also science under the water because fish like to hide in nooks. There is a spot 25 miles out in the ocean where there are abandoned trains and cars that have not been eroded yet. The fish like to crawl into the nooks and that is where I caught the sea bass and flounder.

Tides of the ocean

The ocean is Earth science. It is Earth science because the ocean is apart of earth and there are oceans found everywhere. The more specific science of the ocean is, oceanography. Oceanography is the branch of science that deals with biological and physical properties and occurrence of the sea. Tides are the periodic rise and fall of large  bodies of water. The ocean has two tides, high tides, and low tides. There are about 12 hours and 25 minutes in between the two high tides. When the sun and moon are aligned, there is a very strong gravitational force, causing very high or very low tides. When the sun and moon are not aligned, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, and the tides aren't as strong as for when the sun and moon are aligned. There are a lot of tides such as lunar tides, spring tides, neap tides, etc. Lunar tides are the tides caused in the sea due to the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth. Spring tides occur when the moon is full or new and the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. Neap tides happen when the sun and moon work at right angles. Neap tides occur during quarter moons.

This summer I went Go-Karting in Bethany Beach. This is physics. This is physics because when you are riding your kart keeps moving unless acted upon by another force. This is called Newton's First Law of Motion. In this case the other force would be another kart crashing into you. That is also an unbalanced force because before someone crashed into you, you were going a a constant speed. But as soon you get hit, you are going at an inconstant speed and you are now an unbalanced force. When you have to stop all of a sudden, your body moves forward because it is trying to stay in line with the kart. This is called inertia. Not only is that inertia, but also has to do with friction. When you brake the wheels stop spinning against the track. The friction is what causes you to stop. Friction and acceleration is also vital when slowing down, speeding up, or turning. When my little cousin drove in the kart for the first time, he hit one of the barriers. when this happened the barrier moved. this is because the momentum transferred from the car to the barrier.

Mini Golfing

This summer, I went to Bethany Beach. While I was there I went mini golfing. Mini golfing has to do with science when you hit the club against the ball to make the ball move. This is physical science when the club passes energy to the ball to make the ball move to the hole. Mini Golfing also has to do with math because of how you angle the ball when you hit it so it will hopefully go into the hole. The force of the club moves the ball and friction or gravity stops the ball or the ball is stopped my another new force. Speed, velocity, and acceleration has to do with mini golfing. The speed is the golf ball moving, the velocity is the speed of the ball with a direction, and the acceleration is the ball increasing in speed after being hit. Newton's first law also plays into golfing. Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted on by an external force. The golf ball stays at rest until the club (the external force) hits it. Science contributes to every action we make. So it is important to learn about how science plays a part in our daily activities.

Lacrosse
This summer I was playing lacrosse a lot. Physics is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force. Newton's First Law Inertia. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Lacrosse ball during face-off does not move until a stick interacts with it. A lacrosse ball will not stop besides when acted upon by gravity and air resistance. Also the science behind lacrosse is how you use your arms and legs to shoot and pass the ball with high velocity. You also use all three of Newtons laws of motion. You use the lacrosse pole and the head of the stick with the mesh to through the ball through the air. Newton's Second Law Force = Mass x Acceleration. The force of a stick on a ball is equal to the mass of the
stick times the acceleration of the stick.The force of a ball in the air is equal to the mass of the ball times the acceleration of the ball. Newton's Third Law Equal and Opposite Forces. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When catching a ball, you must use the same amount of force to catch the ball as it is coming at you.Collisions happen when Passing. When passing, your stick and arms act as a series of levers. The top hand pushes a force on the shaft. The bottom hand pulls a force back on the shaft. This creates a lever with your arm and shaft. Your top hand is the fulcrum. Newtons' Three Laws of Motion Head of a Lacrosse Stick. The pocket of a lacrosse head affects how the ball comes out.

Under the Water
Over the summer I went to the Ocean City with my family and when we went to the beach and the waves were huge! I was able to surf them all the way to the shore! The science in the waves is the wind. Most of the time the waves are made by the wind. This is considered Oceanography

Over the Summer I went to the beach. The beach has to do with Oceanography. The beach is a part of Science, because the tides and the sea animals. The gravitational pull of the Moon makes the water turn into a tide. The rise and fall of the water is known as a tide. Tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the moon. Also, after the wave crashes gravity pulls the water to crash onto the shore. Then, I walked along the shore, and I noticed that their was some sea shells and snails that got washed up onto the shore.  Isaac Newton has a law about the gravitational pull of the moon and the tides. Those are some facts about the ocean.

Horseback Riding

This summer I went horseback riding. Horseback riding is apart of physics. What is physics? Physics is the branch of science concerned with the  nature and properties of matter and energy. Horseback
riding is connected to physics because of Newton's Laws of Motion. As you ride a horse you will feel  pressure against your back as you ride. This is an example of Newton's First Law of Motion. As you ride the pressure against you mean you need to adjust your positioning balancing yourself on the horse by distributing your weight equally on both of the stirrups. The higher the horse can jump, is helpful when preparing to jump a fence. The faster your horse goes, the more kinetic energy it has to turn into potential energy it has during a jump. Also when your horse moves forward, you are  slightly thrown backwards according to Newton's First Law of Motion which states an item or object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon a force. Newton's Third Law of Motion is applied to riding through the concept that when a horse is galloping, it must employ the same equivalent force to slow to a halt. That is the science behind horseback riding.

Roller Coasters
This summer I went to Busch Gardens. While I was there we went on many roller coasters. Roller coasters use a lot of physics and technology. Roller coaster trains are not powered. They do not have their own engine to regulate their speed and keep them moving around the track. Instead the majority of the ride is powered by gravity alone. This is why traditional roller coasters begin with a long high hill followed by a big drop. This ‘lift hill’ consists of a long length of chain running up the hill beneath the track and fastened in a loop. The loop is wound around two gears; one at the top and one at the bottom. The bottom gear is turned using a simple motor causing the chain to move in an uphill direction, much like a conveyor belt. When the cart gets to the top of the "lift hill" the chain dog releases and gravity takes over. This builds up potential energy. The potential energy turns into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is used to propel the train forward. Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion. When the roller coaster train speeds up the force acting on you makes you think the seat  is accelerating you forwards, however, you will feel like you are being pushed backwards into the seat. These are the physics behind roller coaster's.

This summer I hiked up Moroe Rock. I realized that when I climbed higher it got colder. The category it represents  is meteorology. It is meteorology because it is about the weather and the atmosphere. It got colder when I hiked up the rock because the pressure changed. The pressure changed because you get closer to space and the gasses from the atmosphere separate. The Energy that is in the gasses starts to die when the gas and energy separates.Also when I got higher the wind got stronger. Wind gets stronger because when you get high enough the wind is in between warm air and cold air. When the warm and cold air mixes together it increases the speed of the wind. That is why it got colder and the wind sped up when I hiked up higher.

Zip lining

During the summer I went to Vermont. One thing I did there was go zip lining down the biggest zip line. There happens to be a lot of science in zip lining. This is physics because zip lining is an example of inertia which is an object in motion that stays in motion.The zip line only works if it is on an incline then gravity and inertia will keep you going unless acted on by a force. If there was no gravity you would be floating all around. One thing I really liked about the zip line was that you can change the speed if you want it slow you move your handle up and if you want it fast you pull your handle down. When your section of the zip line is over there will be a place where you brake and then it will jolt you forward then backwards. I really enjoyed and I hope I can do it again soon.

This summer I went to Niagara Falls and realized that it is eroding. Since Niagara Falls is a waterfall is is bound to erode. In 1841 Charles Lyell concluded that the waters had eroded the gorge from the edge of the escarpment at Queenston. The limestone cap, which is harder to erode, and hydro electric bringing plants slowed down the water flow. The waterfall  consists of three waterfalls that have eroded together and this consists of Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil Falls. Erosion is when water or wind wears down a mineral in this case it's rock. This is a good example of earth science because these waterfalls are made by the earth and have eroded due to the water also from the earth.

This summer I went to Ocean City. At the beach, I swam in the ocean, played in the waves, and played games of volleyball on the beach. The waves in the ocean were big and the water was cold because of the storm there. The strong winds blew across the water and created waves. When the wave reached its peak, gravity then forced the wave to crash onto the shore. Gravity is the force that keeps us on the Earth. Gravity is the reason why, when you jump, you land back on the ground instead of floating away. The waves will erode some of the sand on the beach and drag it back out to the ocean. During all the wind and the breeze of the storm, the wind carried the sand, from the beach and from the shore, out to the sea about a hundred feet. There, it piled up, creating a sandbar in the ocean. If you were at the shore and walked a couple feet into the water, there was a drop a few feet deeper. The beached dropped because the sand was being pulled out to the water, over it so it was eroded down. Then, if you walked through the waist deep water, you would reach the sandbar. It was pretty much like a mini beach. This type of science is called Oceanography.

Ocean Waves
This summer I went to Holden Beach, North Carolina with my friends and family. When we were there we went to the beach almost everyday and played in the water. The beach is connected to science because of the ocean's waves. The moon has a gravitational pull on the Earth and its waves. The moon makes the waves raise and fall.  The waves are also made by the friction that transfers energy from the fast-moving air molecules to the water molecules. The waves are considered Oceanography. Oceanograpy is the phyical and biological properties and phenomena of the sea.

Ocean Tides

This summer I went to the beach and I realized the rise and fall of the Ocean otherwise known as tides. The oceans tides have to do with astronomy which is the study of all of space and celestial objects. The rise and the fall of the ocean is due to the the rotation of the Earth and its gravitational pull on the Moon and Sun. Issac Newton has a law about gravitational pull which states that every particle attracts to every other particle in the universe, which is why the moon and the sun are attracted to the Earth. Their are two types of tides a low tide an a high tide which occur twice a day since the moons gravitational pull causes two bulges in the water which is how tides are formed. There is also spring and neap tides. A spring tide is a tide that occurs after a full moon or new moon, this tide has the biggest difference between high and low tides. A neap tide is when a tide occurs after the first or third quarter of the moon, this tide has the least amount of difference between high and low tide. As you can see science is found everywhere and this is only one example.

Roller Coasters

This summer I went to Busch Gardens in Virginia. The wheels guide the roller coaster on the track. The science being used on a roller coaster is physics. Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the reaction between them. The physics being used are kinetic and potential energy. Ascending up the hills on a roller coaster is kinetic energy. The highest point is when the kinetic energy is strongest. When you move down the hill you are experiencing  potential energy. Inertia is when you are moving straight and keep going straight. Gravity is pulling you down the hill along with potential energy. Gravity is the force that pulls you down to Earth. When you are on a loop the g-forces are pushing you down and keeping you in your seat to keep you from falling out.  There's also friction between the wheels and the rails creating heat.  There's so much science in roller coasters that we don't even think about.

Throwing  a Baseball
This summer I started playing Baseball again. When you throw a baseball two forces act on it. Drag is the force of friction acting on a object moving through the air. The other force is lift or the magnus effect. The magnus effect is the force of lift on a object. So different spins on the ball act differently on the forces. For instance when you throw a curve ball the ball's spin along with the forces acted on the ball make it curve. The reason a baseball has seams is so it can move through the air with a spin. This represents the Physics category of the Physical branch of science. This is the science of throwing a baseball.

Where is the Science? The science is in the beach and the rise and fall of the sea level. This summer my dance team went to beach for our nationals dance competition. During that time I wasn’t able to dance because I had a broken toe. Through the duration of that trip I spent my days at the beach. When my friends were done dancing we would go into the water and the waves would rise and fall. The Rise and fall of sea level have to do with astronomy. The rising and falling of tides have to do with the sun and the moon’s gravitational pull and the rotation of the Earth. At the beach their were different types of tides. High tides and low tides. The different types of tides affect the beach differently. When it's high tide the tide rises up the shore farther. When it's low tide the tide moves farther up shore. In 1687 Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation. Newton's law basically reads that "every particle in the universe attracts to every other particle in the universe with a force."  Science is everywhere.

Playing football

This summer I played football, there is a lot of physics behind football. Physics is the study of matter and its motion through time and space , as well as its interaction with energy and the forces created by this interaction. In football if you hit somebody a force between the two people is an interaction that changes momentum, and that interaction will have the same effect on each object. The second law of motion states that force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration, if a quarterback throws the football the amount that the ball accelerates depends on the force applied by the quarterback and the mass of the ball. If a football is put down on the field by a player and is at rest the ball will remain at rest unless acted on by another force such as the center or the referee moving the ball this is because of inertia. The third law of motion states that for every force applied there is an equal and opposite reaction force, an example of this might be when a player is trying to catch a football from a very high kick. The football, coming down from above, exerts a force on the player as he catches it the player then sends the same amount of force in the opposite direction if the player doesn't put back the same force he will drop the ball. There is a lot more science in football than I thought there was!

Niagara Falls

Over summer break, I visited Canada. While I was there, I went to Niagara Falls. There are many sciences associated with Niagara Falls, such as Geography and Technology. This waterfall is located on the border of Ontario, Canada and New York, USA. It is made up of three waterfalls. The three waterfalls combined to produce the highest flow rate of any waterfall on Earth. They were created by glaciers over 10,000 years ago. Niagara Falls is a source of hydroelectric power. Hydroelectric power is a process used to create electricity. Hydropower uses the energy of moving water for a variety of useful applications. Hydroelectricity generates electricity by harnessing the gravitational force of falling water. Scientists hypothesize Niagara Falls will only be around for another 50,000 years because of how much it is eroding.

Roller Coasters

Something fun I did this summer was riding a roller coaster. A basic roller coaster is a machine that uses gravity and inertia to send a train along a winding track. Inertia is a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. All roller coasters are completely driven by the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply. Newton's first law is an object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. Friction slows down roller coaster carts. Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. When the coaster ascends one of the smaller hills that follows the initial lift hill, its kinetic energy changes back to potential energy. In this way, the course of the track is constantly converting energy from kinetic to potential and back again. In most roller coasters the height decreases as you move along. There is a lot of science behind roller coasters, but that is what makes them so fun.

Over the summer I went to Nashville Tenseness and it was very hot. Nashville is located in a valley that falls under the humid subtropical classification defined by climatology. Climatology or climate science is the scientific study of climate. This is due to the valley city being located in a valley surrounded by Smokey mountains creating a bowl effect. This climate category means Nashville summers' are hot, muggy weather. During summer the warmest time of the year the daily highs average in the upper eighties low nineties.

During this summer, I went to Ocean City, Maryland for vacation. On an afternoon trip to the beach, I got to witness a tide pool. A tide pool is a piece of a body of water that is either deeper or higher which is separated from the rest. They are caused by an extreme gravitational pull which also creates extremely high-high tides and very low-low tides. It falls under the category Physical Science, more specifically astronomy, since it is all due to the moon. Although I do not have a picture of the tide pool itself, I do have a picture of the ocean below. This is the scientific reasoning behind tide pools.

During the summer I went to a Harry Styles concert. Going to a concert is a part of science. It's a part of Psychology. It's a part of this because it increases your wellbeing by 21%, compared to 10% while doing yoga. Going to concerts every two weeks could extend life expectancy by nine years. It also makes your self worth 25% higher, closeness to others 25% higher, and  mental stimulation 75% higher. Music can make you relaxed, elevate your mood and motivation, increase the efficiency of your brain, help you focus, help your creativity, social connection, and help you express what you feel. Music can help you regain your memory. We all have Heart and Brain entertainment. Heart entertainment is how our hearts' internal rhythm can synchronize to musical rhythms. Our brains can also synchronize to musical frequencies. Different frequencies affect our brain. Some waves are Beta waves, affect your conscious, Alpha waves, make you calm/relaxed,  Theta waves, make you have deep relaxation and meditation, Delta waves, make you have a deep and dreamless sleep.   These are just some of the affects from music and concerts.
