ANNOTATED DRAWING
Why do we use an annotated drawing? We use an annotated diagram to show an idea or an object. What does an annotated diagram include? An annotated diagram includes a picture and words or descriptions about the idea or object. What we did this weekThis week in science, we followed a procedural text to make a paperclip float. Of course, the paperclip was not really floating, it was being acted upon by magnetic and gravitational forces.
When the paperclip was 'floating in the air', it was being pulled by the magnetic force. Gravity was also trying to pull the paperclip to the ground but the magnetic force was the stronger force. As we slowly pulled the magnet further away from the paperclip, the magnetic force weakened until it was no longer strong enough to attract the paperclip. This is when gravity took over and pulled the paperclip to the ground. We could clearly see in this activity that the forces of gravity and magnetism can act at a distance. |
