Next week we will be investigating
friction. Can you find out what friction is and record some examples of friction
in action in everyday life? Let us know on the blog.
All about Friction :
ReplyDeleteFriction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object. Friction is a force that is everywhere in the whole wide world, and it helps things not going on for ever in the world !!!
Examples of Friction in everyday life :
• Football being kicked then stopped by friction
• Roll a tennis ball then stooped by friction
• If you throw a pen it eventually slows down and stops
Rich and Poor Tudor People :
ReplyDeleteWell, I am going to be talking about ... Rich and Poor people in the Tudor time period. First of all, the Tudor time period was between 1485 - 1603.
In the Tudor times there was a very, very few amount of rich people and there was an extreme amount of poor people.
Examples of differences :
• Houses : , rich : nice furniture, glass windows and poor : dark, often damp
• Leisure : , rich : jousting, tennis and poor : not much spare time
• Food : , rich : had a variety of different foods and poor : they only ate foods they could produce themselves
• Clothes : , rich : expensive clothing and jewellery and poor : clothes made from cheap fabric
• Health : , rich : could afford doctors and poor : could not afford doctors because of money
The reason why the rich and poor had a big gap in Tudor times is because the poor people that worked had little money. While they worked 6 times a day the were paid very little unlike today. The rich had servants so they didn't have to do anything at their court like dressing themselves up. For the poor they didn't have anything luxurious food and banquets like Henry VIII, they had to survive on bread from wheat from mills alive with rats. They also had pies filled with spiced meat. The rich lived in palace however the poor had to make their own houses. The poor had little time to watch entertainment but the rich could watch every single day.

Today was amazing. I had a baby girl that was so cute, she had beautiful brown eyes and loved me from the moment she was borned. Her dad King Henry VIII was furious that I did not give him a son. I hope that he would forgive me and not divorce me like his previous wife Catherine Of Aragon. But I have a feeling that he will do something even worse with me.
ReplyDeleteAnne Boleyne
The gap between the rich and the poor in Tudor times was that the poor had less opportunities than the rich and the rich girls weared French hoods as for the poor girls weared hats. Also the gap between the rich and the poor was that the rich were wearing beautiful gowns and dresses while the poor weared normal capes and clothes and jackets.
ReplyDeleteFriction
ReplyDeleteFriction is a force that pushes an oblect back when you roll it. For example say we have got a ball and we roll it eventually it will slowly roll untill it stops because friction is working against your muscle power and if there was no friction the ball would just carry on rolling forever
The difference between the rich and the poor
ReplyDeleteOne of the major differences between rich and the poor Tudors was the food they ate. Three quarters of rich Tudors' diets consisted of of red meat, which wasn't that healthy in large quantities. The reason they ate meat was because they thought that vegetables grown under the ground were dirty. Vegetables grown underground, such as carrots and parsnips were considered fit only for the poor. The rich only ate onions, leeks and garlic. The rich drank wine and the poor drank ale.
Only Lords and Nobles were allowed to hunt: deer, boars, oxen, rabbit and hare. The punishment for illegal hunting or (poaching) was to have one's hand cut off.
Poor Tudors sometimes dressed in fur. Rich Tudors were allowed to dress in silk clothing, usually very expensive.
Poor Tudors also owned little land whereas rich Tudors owned a lot of land.
Only wealthy families could afford to send their children to school. Some Towns and villages ha a Parish Church where a Vicar would teach boys how to read and write. The wealthiest families had their children Tutored- where a person came round to a home and educated them there. Poor Tudor children didn't go to school at all.
Poor Tudors lived in small homes with one, two, or even three rooms. On the other hand, rich Tudors had extravagant homes with many homes and statues made out of pewter. Floors were made of dirt and beds were mattresses tied to ropes on hard wooden frames, However, rich Tudors had mattresses on wooden frames.
September 7th, 1533
ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I hath been terified before, but not like this. I am Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII's wife. Henry prayed and prayed for a boy, and now that I hath given birth to a damsel, who knows what God will damn upon I! Henry's previous wife; Catheryn of Aragon also gave birth to a lassie, and he divorced her! Though I am but a teenager, Henry is old so I've been seeing people well, more of my age. Who knows what he will do to me after this! All I can do is wish for the best that he will forgive me.
Anne
FRICTION
ReplyDeleteWhen you throw a racing car on Vinyl it stops at a yellow flag.But when you push it harder it will go to the finish line.However,on Ice if just give it a gentle push it will go straight to the finish line.On wood if you push it even harder it won't go to the finish line because the friction is stronger on this type of material.
So the order would go like this on a friction meter:
1.Ice has the least of Friction
2.Vinyl is the second least of Friction
3.Wood has the most amount of Friction
BUT THIS IS ONLY
ACCORDING TO MY RESULTS.
September 7th 1533
ReplyDeleteDear diary,
I am very worried, scared, frightened, anxious and nervous. I gave birth to a baby girl! Am I going to meet the same fate as Katherine of Aragon? Will I get divorced? No…
Even worse. WILL I get BEHEADED? But the girl looks so sweet, but I don’t understand why Henry wants a son? Even a daughter carry on the Tudor dynasty? What’s wrong with a girl? I can’t let Henry behead the docile, innocent baby. She looks so cute!
However, I am feeling kind of proud to be a mother now of the royal family! It is a perfect opportunity! It was a lot of hard work to get the baby out. IT WAS EXHAUSTING!!!!!!
I need to find a way for Henry to actually want a girl! Then maybe he won’t execute me nor my baby! Although, everybody knows that for Henry to make a different belief of something is mission impossible.
So, I will just have to assume that today is…
THE WORST DAY EVER!!!!!!
I hope me and Henry can find one way to settle this terrible issue of me giving birth to a girl and then fixing the problem and end with a happy ending.
- Somehow
From,
Anne Boleyn
THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND POOR
ReplyDeleteON FOOD
King Henry never used to eat vegetables because he thought that was only for the poor.Well,he only ate them in banquets but they were also boiled in huge pots or dishes.
Poor people would have eaten a herb-flavoured soup called pottage which would be served with bread.
Rich Tudors would eat this:
Breakfast: Pork ,Bread, Fruit and Selection of Meat
Lunch: Roast Tongue, Bread, Meat and Vegetable Soup
Dinner: Bread, Roast Venison(deer), Soup, Tarts and Custard
Both the rich and poor people ate fish, which was packed in barrels of salt to stop the fish going rotten.
ReplyDeletePoor Tudors:
Life was harsh, everyone had to work hard to survive, when living in villages making clothes and farming.They worked six days a week and only had holy days and public holidays off work.The poor had to steal food when havisting went wronge, when this happened they were hung or public flogging.The poor people living in cities survived on bread made from flour in mills alive with rats and pies filled with meat, so people didn’t know it was ‘off’ Meat was a luxury but poor people sometimes kept animals to provide milk, cheese and eggs.
Rich Tudors:
The rich loved to show off that they were rich and wealthy.The clothes they wore and the homes they lived in were all signs of their place in society.Food was another show of wealth. The rich could afford all kinds of meats and fish and expensive French wine. The best food was considered to be roast veal and venison.People also ate robins, badgers, otters, tortoises and seagulls.
The types of sports or pastimes a person did was another sign of their rank or wealth. The rich had time for falconry, hunting, jousting, tennis and bowls.
The gaps between rich and poor in the Tudor times is: The rich could afford lots of food and other things while the poor had a limited amount of food in a week.
ReplyDeleteKing Henry thought vegetables were for the poor so he started eating non vegetables.
Rich Tudors often wore posh clothes but the poor wore the same dirty old clothes almost everyday.
Friction
ReplyDeleteFriction happens everyday, if you throw a ball, after a while it starts to roll until eventually it stops moving because gravity pulls everything down to the Earth's core. The ground stops us from going right through towards the core. It also depends on the surface of the ground for example: if you roll a pen down the mountain it will stop either when something blocks the pen or at the bottom of the mountain the object will stop moving as it will be on a flat surface.
cwhat is Friction and record some examples of friction in action in everyday life.
ReplyDeleteWhen some surfaces rub against each other they make a force called Friction that brings motion part of the friction. for an example when you press your brakes on your bike you use friction to slow the wheel down and then eventually your bike stops. Another example when you kick a football it moves and but it depends on your force of the kick and it either slowly or quickly but then there is friction to make the ball to stop. Friction produces a lot of heat and wastes so much energy. Putting one layer of oil between the moving parts of a car reduces the friction and improves efficiency.
Examples of Friction in everyday life:
* Waking-you feet and floor.
*Washing your hands- hands and water.
*Putting on clothes-clothes touch the skin.
* Rubbing the mouse pad on laptops-like right now.

The Gap between Poor and Rich during the Tudor Times:
ReplyDeleteIn Tudor times ,rich people lived in comfort. They built fine houses with windows made out of glass and portraits on the walls. They wore splendid clothes and over filled their houses with furniture.
Life was much harder for poor people, although we know much less about them. Majority of the poor people suffered from hunger and disease and were punished for begging.
by Tanraj.
The poor living in cities survived on bread made from flour in mills with rats, and pies filled with spiced meats to disguise the fact that the meat was 'off'. Those living in the country had a little more choice because they could eat the wheat and oats grown in the fields and fresh meat from hares and rabbits.
ReplyDeleteMeat was a luxury but poor people sometimes kept animals to provide milk, cheese and eggs. Both rich and poor ate fish, which was packed in barrels of salt to stop the fish going rotten.
Honey was used instead of sugar to sweeten desserts such as fruit pies.
Water was too polluted to drink, so the poor drank 'small beer' - watered ale - while the rich drank wine and sherry.
Most Tudor homes did not have glass windows, and, as a result, glass was one of the status symbols of the wealthy. In addition, rich Tudors could afford decorative carpets and tapestries, although these were hung on the walls, rather than put on the floor.
The diffference between the rich and poor inTudor times was that:
ReplyDeleteIn the 15th century rich people's houses were designed for defence rather than comfort. However, in the 16th century life was relatively safer, so houses no longer had to be designed just for defence. Rich Tudors built grand houses, for instance, Cardinal Wolsey built Hampton Court Palace. Later the Countess of Shrewsbury built Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire.
Chairs were more common in the Middle Ages but they were still quite expensive. Even upper class children and servants sat on stools. Chimneys were also a luxury in Tudor times, although they became more common. In wealthy Tudor houses the walls of rooms were lined with oak panelling to keep out drafts. Additionally, people slept in four-poster beds hung with curtains to reduce drafts. In the 16th century, few people had wallpaper but it was very expensive. Other wealthy people hung tapestries or painted cloths on their walls.
On the contrary, homes for poor people in Tudor Times were very uncomfortable. They lived in simple huts with one or two rooms (occasionally three). Smoke escaped through a hole in the thatched roof. Floors were of hard earth and furniture was very basic, benches, stools, a table and wooden chests. The poor slept on mattresses stuffed with straw or thistledown. The mattresses lay on ropes strung across a wooden frame.
In Tudor England, carpets were a luxury which only rich people could afford. Usually they were too expensive to put on the floor; instead they were hung on the wall or over tables. People covered the floors with rushes, reeds or straw, which they strew with sweet smelling herbs. Wealthy Tudors had clocks in their homes. The very rich had pocket watches although most people relied on pocket sundials. Rich Tudors were also fond of gardens. Many had mazes, fountains and topiary (hedges cut into shapes).
In Tudor Times everybody ate bread but poor people ate coarse bread of barley or rye. The rich ate vast amounts of meat. However they rarely ate vegetables. The Tudors were also fond of sweet foods. However in the 16th century sugar was very expensive. On the other hand, poor Tudors lived on a dreary diet. In the morning they had bread and cheese along with onions. They only had one cooked meal a day. They mixed grain with water and added vegetables and, if they could afford it, a few strips of meat.
Everybody wore wool. However rich Tudors wore fine quality wool. The poor wore coarse, scratchy wool. Linen was used to make shirts and underwear. Many workmen wore a loose tunic. It was easier to work in. Some workmen also wore a leather jerkin called a buff-jerkin. Men also wore stockings or woolen socks, which were called hose.
There was a vast difference between the lifestyles of the rich and the poor, which was very unfair indeed.
Friction is when two or more objects are rubbed together. For example: when you drive a car, the grip on the tyres rub against the ground which makes the car move. Also it depends on the surface of the ground, if a car was driving on ice it would be hard to control the car as there is barely any friction. Also if there were no tyres on any car, the car would skid off whatever the surface is.

ReplyDeleteI am feeling so depressed! I have just given birth to a beautiful girl, but Henry isn't happy about it. I don't know hat to do! Maybe Henry will do something bad like divorce me or do something even worse. I am sure he can accept a girl as the new heir? Why can't a girl rule England? Also I do hope he doesn't kill any of us or divorce me like he did to Catherine of Aragon. I really hope we can work this out.
Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding, or trying to slide, across each other. Friction always works in the direction opposite from the direction the object is moving, or trying to move. Friction always slows a moving object down.
ReplyDeleteExamples of friction in everyday life:
• If you roll a ball, it will stop, due to the force of friction.
• If you press bicycle breaks, it’ll stop.
• Going down a slide is an example of friction in everyday life.
• If you have a tug of war competition, the force of friction is being used.
Examples of friction:
ReplyDelete•When a ball is kicked friction stops it from carrying on rolling.
•Friction eventually stops you rolling down a hill.
•If you hold on to something Friction stops you falling away from it. Meaning the friction is stronger than gravity.
Not much friction:
•Sliding on ice doesn’t have much friction, meaning sledges go for quite a long time.
Rich Tudors:
ReplyDeleteThe rich were very wealthy and craved for popularity. Clothes showed how wealthy a person was. Rich people could afford clothing made of linen, silk or luscious wool. Their clothes were decorated with jewels and embroidered with gold of purple thread. The rich also loved banquets and enjoyed parties. They would eat badgers, swans and beaver’s tail!
Poor Tudors:
Poor people wore simple, loose-fitting clothes made from woollen cloth. Unlike the rich, the poor had to eat vegetables and bread. They worked for six days and had one day off. Many people had to steal to survive, and if they were caught, eating the stolen food was out of the question.
There was a great gap between the rich and poor in Tudor Times
ReplyDeletePoor Tudors normally lived on the streets because the couldn't afford a house. They ate bread that was made out of ground acorns and if they were lucky flower. Sometimes they ate soup if they could manly leak and potato soup. They would wear any clothes they could find, normally ripped dresses and shirts.
Rich Tudors lived in houses made of wood, stone and straw. They eat lots of meat like peacock and rabbit. They never eat vegetables because they thought they were for the poor. They brushed there teeth with sugar because the thought it was healthy for you. Girls would wear corsets with dresses or gowns with leather shoes. Boys would wear suits or robes the would also wear leather shoes.
7 September 1533
ReplyDeleteDear diary
Today was a day of mixed emotions for me. My beautiful daughter was born today. Here at Greenwich palace at 3:30 in the afternoon. As all but one of our physicians and astrolergers had predicted that we were having a boy you could well imagine the shock that we had when we saw the girl. So certain were we that I could bear a prince, that we had asked the French King to stand as god father to our 'son'. The official letter to announce the birth had been prepared to read 'prince'. We had to hastily add on 'ss' to read princess. Henry was so disappointed he cancelled the traditional tournament for the birth of a heir.
Personally, I am thankful she is healthy and we shall name her Elizabeth in honour of my mother Elizabeth Howard and Henry's Elizabeth of York. In the coming days we will hold a splendid christening for our princess. Our princess will be great one day. My, the drama is really making me sleepy. Oh, there she goes again. This would be the seventh time I've changed Elizabeth's nappy today!!
what is Friction and record some examples of friction in action in everyday life.
ReplyDeleteFriction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.Friction always slows a moving object down. It is a force. Air resistance is a type of friction.
science
ReplyDeletefriction is when to surfaces rub against each other. Friction prevents you from slipping when you play football on a muddy field. Friction helps tires on cars to not slip when they are on ice. With out friction al we would do is slip.
Friction
ReplyDeleteFriction is what happens when something is rubbed against another and usually slows it down.
Examples of friction:
Rubbing your hands together
Going down a slide
Trying to light a fire by rubbing two sticks together
Pushing a car and it slowly stopping.
Furthermore, if a car didn’t have wheels you wouldn’t be able to push it along the wheels greatly reduce the friction.
A moving car creates rolling friction; if you removed the wheels from a car and had enough people to push it along it would be creating sliding friction.
When you're bouncing a ball, the ball keeps bouncing because of friction. Its stops because of the gravitational pull of the earth. Another example of friction is car tyres rubbing against the floor. And last but not least, walking. It creates friction.
