Action and Reaction

Gary: Hey Pupil

Pupil: Oh hi G

Gary: What are you doing?

Pupil: I am practicing my scoring for a hockey game this afternoon

Pupil hits the puck to hard and it bounces back

Pupil: I must be hitting to hard because every time I hit the hockey puck it bounces back towards me

Gary: You know why don't you?

Pupil: No, I don't

Gary: the puck bounces back because of this law of physics: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That law was discovered by a famous penguin named Isaac H. Newtonflipper.

Pupil: So every time I hit the puck it bounces back just as equally as hard?

Gary: Precisely

Pupil: So the softer I hit it the less hard it will hit the wall therefore not bouncing back as hard, right?

Gary: Correct Pupil. So when you play hockey later today remember to hit the puck just hard enough for it to go in the goal and not bounce back out of it.

Pupil: Got it

All the lights in the ice rink go out

Gary: Well it looks like I will have to put in a new circuit for the lights again. This time I will make sure it is a parallel circuit.

Pupil: Whats that?

Gary: (laughing) That's another lesson my friend. Why don't you come to my igloo and have some hot chocolate with me.

Pupil: Ok.


Hey Inventor Penguins,
Its Garys Pupil here! G told me an experiment that you can do that has to do with Newtonflipper's law of motion. Get a bouncy ball and bounce it really hard on the ground. Now take the bouncy ball and just lightly bounce it. See how both times the ball bounced equally as hard as you dropped it?

Waddle On,
G and Garys Pupil

P.S. Look for both of us on Club Penguin!

Putting the blog into gear

Hey my fellow inventors,
It's me Gary the gadget guy and my pupil. This is our first post on our super inventive blog!
You may know me, Gary, on Club Penguin. I invent some of Club Penguin's gadgets and help keep the island safe with the Elite Penguin Force. But I don't believe I have introduced you to my pupil. On Club Penguin, He goes by Garys Pupil. But I just call him Pupil for short. He is my inventor trainee. I teach him all the science that I know and show him how to invent things like a jet pack, or an automated coffee dispenser.
Well now that we have finished our introduction and salutations, lets get to the cool part of this blog, the science! Every now and then Pupil and I will post the scientific lessons that I teach Pupil and we will include a safe and fun scientific experiment that you can do at your igloo all by yourself that relates to the lesson. Hope you enjoy the blog it will be finished soon.


Your Friends,
G and Garys Pupil

P.S. Look For the both of us on Club Penguin!
