Week 5 one dimensional motion

For the last week we have gone over the concepts of time, distance, displacement, speed and velocity.  Think of something that you do in your everyday life that you can describe using two or more of these words.  Remember your post must be original and you must comment on someone else's post. 
Your mouse trap cars are looking good and you all did a great job making them.  This is the first year I have assigned this project so I would love to know if there is anything you liked/disliked about the project and if you have any suggestions for how to do it better next year.  This is optional but, I would love your feedback.

week 4 metric system

Since we have been learning basic measurement skills, I want you to think about the metric system.  This week's blog post is going to be a metric system scavenger hunt!  You only have to find or guesstimate one of the following measurements.  Have fun, keep it clean, and remember to make an original comment and reply to someone else's post.  NO DOUBLES, so you have to come up with your own item.

Something that has a mass of 5 kilograms.
A place 2 kilometers from school.
A place 50 kilometers from school.
Something with a height of 2.5 meters.
Something with a height of 4 centimeters.
Something that has a mass of 100 kilograms.
Something with the circumference of 1 meters.
Something with the length of 50 meters.

Remember, you only have to find an object for one of the measurements, not all of them.
