Nature Made run-off strems found in the Sandia and Manzano Mountains... These strems are form yearly or are year-round strems that are formed for the winter snow melting and spring rains. The strem in the Sanida's is based sole of winter run-off. This year the area in which this strem is normally found did not reseve enough winter snow or early spring rain so it is slowly drying up as the spring heat starts to roll in.



This is the picture of the view from above the caves found above the "spring/run-off strem"
This is about a 45 minute rock climb from where my grandparents live.
Absolutly beautiful view!

This strem is a year round strem that depends on winter snow from the Sandia crest. There is no animal life in the strem but is filled with plant life.

This is our raw egg that has been soaking for 2 weeks!
They were VERY slimy!

Force: something which can state the state of motion.
Force+acceleration= Newton's second law say as the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. as the mass of an object in increased the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Direction and magnitude of forces: if an object has a lesser force then the oject pushing against it, that object will always move in the direction of the great force.
Newton's three laws: 1. object at rest stays at rest unless an external force is aplied to it. 2: the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. as the mass of an object in increased the acceleration of the object is decreased. 3. For action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Speed: the rate of measure of the rate of motion
Velocity: vector measure of the rate and direction of motion
Velocity  + acceleration and momentum: the rate that an object changes its velocity and force or speed of movement.
Velocity for a egg dropping 30.48 cm in 2.2seconds  is 13.85cm/sec
Egg weighed 109.3 grams * 13.85= 1,513 g*cm/sec.

On the first day of class we were given a Bean, tape, 2 note cards, and a paper clip. We were tolf that we had to move the bean 1 meter without touching the bean. Our group (Sherrie, Aubry, myself and now Alyssa) decided to make a paper airplane and tape the bean to the plane that was made out of a note card. We then throw the plane one meter and did not touch the bean. After that we were told to make the bean go "up,down, up 90 degree angle and then 2 meters". We bounced the bean off a balloon and down a slide which was at a right angle and fell 2 meters.
Gooooood Morning Science world!
This blog is created equal to help other learn about the teaching of Physical Science and my personal activities that will be done a created in Physical Science 261 at the University of New Mexico!!

Hope y'all have a great day!!!
