SONG!: "The Faster You Push Me..." from Bill Nye

LYRICS

The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity
The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity

I will roll
Very far
But not as far as that car
Weight is such
A central part
Of momentum, dear
Whether you care
Or do not
Yeah, now if you don't mind

The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity
The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity

SONG!: Food Webby Web

“It’s a Food Web”
by Food Webby Web
(From Bill Nye, The Science Guy’s “Food Web” episode)

Well take a look at my plate
It’s a site…
’Cause it’s piled with food
Well I’m looking it over
And it looks so good
’Cause I got milk,
I got meat,
I got pasta ’n bread
I got chicken ’n egg rolls
’N processed cheese spread
I got ice cream
I got whip cream
I got tacos
I got fish
But none of it seems like a vegetable dish
But the truth of the matter of this food situation
Is that all of these things get their start with vegetation

It’s the food web
It’s the food web

You see meat has to eat
And noodles need wheat
Yeah, we need plants for the things that we eat
’Cause sugar needs cane
’N honey needs bees
That get pollen from the flowers and the fields and the trees
But maybe now you’re asking
“Hey, what’s a plant need?”
They gotta come from something
Yeah ya’ know they gotta feed
Well, a plant needs water
’N a plant needs sun
Dirt, carbon dioxide, ’n oxygen

It’s the food web
It’s the food web

Your First Online Assignment: Ecosystems!

Good morning class!

Welcome to your first blog assignment!

We've already visited with Mr. Bill Nye on the subject of Food Webs. Today we're going to continue our ecological research with some online activities. We'll check in with Tim and Moby to see what they have to say on the subject. You're going to watch 3 BrainPop videos, take a quiz on each, and draw quality pictures/diagrams to describe what you've learned. You've got a packet of all the materials you'll need. The diagrams you create will become a part of your science notebook, which will be a record of what you've studied this year. It will also help you study for your future tests/quizzes.

REMEMBER: In order to use BrainPop, you need to login-- username: tjelem, password: tiger. (Note: TJ's membership will only work during school hours).

Here are the links to the videos:
Ecosystems
Food Chains
Natural Selection

When you are done, you may explore the following areas on portaporal:

SONG!: Mr. Duey's Long Division Rap

Lyrics – Long Division

By: Daniel Joseph Duey

Verse 1
Mr.Duey exclusive. This is what you been waiting for.
Better than the best on the planet. You know.
Draw a line up to the right take the number you dividing by.
Put that number to the left of the line. Now put the number you
dividing with inside of it, setting up long division if you listen that’s the
bottom line of it. Now try to get this answer to this problem that
I about to give, 390 divided by 6. Now the 6 wont fix into 3 but if fits
into 39, 6 times. Put the 6 above the 9. Now take the 6 multiply it by
the number you divided by. Gives you 36 write it right below the 39.
Subtract that, that’s 3 bring the 0 down.. right! And see that 6 goes
into 30 perfectly 5 times. Put the 5 by the 6 on the top of the line.
And see that 6 goes into 390, 65 times. Put some time behind to
comprehend the rhyme I designed. To understand it’s long division
at the drop of a dime.

Chorus 1
Now draw a line up to the right, take the number you divided
by put that number to the left of the line. Put the number you
divided with inside of, setting up for long division if you listen
that’s the bottom line of it
Repeat 2X

Verse 2
You know me Mr.Duey I just breezed through college.
Please Mr.Duey would you stick to the topic. That’s how i got
my job, kid. Plus it will only take me a hot minute to drop this.
Decimals I got this. I rock this show you how you how to spit the
hotness. Show you 5 go into 82 without using a remainder as an
option. Drop a decimal, drop it like it’s hot finish the problem. Remember
5 to the left of the line, 82 inside and see how many times it will divide.
The 5 fits into 8 just 1 time. Put the 1 above the 8 and multiply
it by 5 and 1 x 5 is 5, put it right below the eight
subtract them giving you 3 then bring the 2 down. Giving you 32, dirty.
and 5 goes into that 6 times, 6 x 5 is 30. Subtract 30 from 32, that gives
you 2 and then what you do is real simple, I will explain it to you.
Drop a decimal in your answer and your problem, add a 0, drop it down
to the 2 and solve them. and 5 goes into 20 evenly 4 times, 16.4 dividing
82 by 5. Take some time to comprehend the rhyme I design
To understand it’s long division at the drop of a dime.

Chorus 2
Now draw a line up to the right, take the number you divided
by put that number to the left of the line. Put the number you
divided with inside of, setting up for long division if you listen
that’s the bottom line of it
Repeat 2X

Outro
Me Mr. Duey I just breeze through college.

SONG!: Mr. Duey's Fraction Rap

LYRICS

Chorus
I’ll teach how to get rid of an improper fraction
Teach you how to get a percentage from a fraction
I’ll teach you everything you need to know about fractions
Fractions, what’s that? Lights, camera, action
I’ll teach you everything you need to know about fractions
Fractions, everything you need to know I’ll rap
I’ll teach you how to get rid of an improper fraction
Fractions, what’s that? Lights, camera, action

Verse 1
Fractions, if it’s improper you have to change it into a mixed
number, I’ll be the one to explain it. Improper is when the top
number is bigger than the bottom so when you take the bottom fit
it into the top one. So say that the bottom is 3 and the top can be
17. How many times does 3 fit in between? Well let’s see, that’s
5 take the 5 write it down big on the line. With the 2 left over from
the 17 you must now put that 2 on top of the 3 and, wow, the
mixed number is found. It’s that easy, listen to the song and you
believe me, put your own numbers in the place of what I’m
teaching.

Chorus
I’ll teach how to get rid of an improper fraction
Teach you how to get a percentage from a fraction
I’ll teach you everything you need to know about fractions
Fractions, what’s that? Lights, camera, action
I’ll teach you everything you need to know about fractions
Fractions, everything you need to know I’ll rap
I’ll teach you how to get rid of an improper fraction
Fractions, what’s that? Lights, camera, action

Verse 2
Fractions, I bet you wonder how to get a percentage, divide the
top by the bottom number. For example, 5 over 10. 10 can’t go
into 5 so add a zero to the 5 and begin. Because 10 can go into
to 50 just fine, but you need a decimal point before the number of
times. So I, I guess we’re left with ‘.5’. Now take the point by the
5, move it 2 to the right and what you have is 50 so it’s 50
percent. When Mr. Duey takes you through it then it all makes
sense. It’s that easy, listen to the song and you believe me, put
your own numbers in the place of what I’m teaching.
Fractions
Take the top number divide it by the bottom number.
What’s that? Take the top number divide it by the bottom number
