THE GREAT RACE

The car I have built is an example of all three of Newton’s laws of motion. Newton’s first law states that every object continues in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting on it. As seen in my car, it was at rest until the thread was wound back which caused the car to move forward. Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object (in the direction of the net force) and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In the process of making my car I had to consider both the mass of my car and the right amount of energy to create a great enough force allowing the car to achieve maximum acceleration. Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The string which is tied to the trap is wound tightly and the trap is held. When the trap is released, the string unwinds propelling the wheels forward as they push on the floor and the floor pushes back. Thus I have built a mouse trap car which exemplifies all three of Newton’s laws of motion.

THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

I think that this fable's moral is to watch out for those who deceive. They will never stop until they get what they want. They will do the most unexpected things just to get what they are craving for. In the fable the fox can only get in if it's a sheep, so it uses a disguise, which is what most enemies would do. So be responsible for your own actions and try not to get tricked very easily.

THE FOUR OXEN AND THE LION

I think that the moral of this story is to never separate when you know something or someone is after you. You should always stick with someone. You are always stronger as a team. Enemies will always attack you when you are at your weakest, which is when you are alone. This is what the oxen did not know. The lion waited for the oxen to separate. The lion had a chance and he took it.

THE FISHER AND THE LITTLE FISH

I think that the moral of this fable is that once you get or have something never let it go, because you may get it or it may not come back ever again. The fisher in this story was smart to not let the little fish get away. He was right, he may never even see this fish again if he let it go. Don't let what you finally get go away. Otherwise it might not be there when you need it most of all.

THE CROW AND THE PITCHER

I think that the moral of this fable is that if you don't know how to solve a situation yet, at the moment when you most need it, the idea will come to you. That is what happened to the crow in this story. When he couldn't get the water he thought and thought until he got an idea. He needed this idea to save his life. He needed it most at that moment in his life.

THE FOX AND THE GOAT RESPONSE

I think that the moral of this fable is not to trust people unless you know for sure it's true and the best thing to do. You should be responsible to know what is going on and the goat should have known there was no drought. Don't trust everyone or anyone out of the blue. Only those who are known to be trustworthy.

WOODEN BOWLS RESPONSE

I think that this story shows that sometimes you have to keep your feelings inside. This story teaches you that even though people make mistakes maybe very often, you have to have and show a little empathy and try to understand why they are doing this and what condition they are in. Most of the time there are reasons for that particular behavior. Even though it might get annoying or irritating, you have to try and remember what they are going through. If you show happiness kindness and most of all empathy, you would make them feel like you really care about them and they are loved even though they make tons of mistakes.
