Mr. Rochester demonstrated again what we had to do for the first part of our benchmark. Then after we collected our materials we all went out in the halls and set to work. With our balloons taped on to ours sticks and tape measures in hand the jumping began. Most groups started with the "broad jump" where you stood still and had to jump as high and as far as you could (you had to touch the balloon). then it was full speed ahead to the "long jump". Here you got to have a running start (still had to touch the balloon). Some groups even thought they were so good it was worth filming (oh wait Rochester said it would be a nice addition to our graphs... so never mind everyone should film at some point). So over all today SLA's recored for both the long jump and the broad jump was broken, or i guess set. We will have to find out though when benchmarks are due who holds it though.
For those of you who missed this sports filled class you should talk to your group members and set up a time when they can help you collect your data.
next time on Scribe Post we will have Sam reporting from the right side of the room. Thanks for tuning in to another Scribe Post, until next time.

Ok, so I know what you physically did, but what were you learning about what was the crux of the lesson? Why were there sticks? Why were there balloons? What was the learning?
Well Mr. Chase we were learning about parabolas however that didn't really come up in the lesson. We were just collecting data. The scribe post from tuesday should have said why we were doing this because that is when Rochester explained it and we got the sheet.
the balloons were tapped onto the sticks and when you jumped you had to touch the balloon so we know how high you jumped for later on.
