In preparation for our new unit on moments and pressure I’d like you to write a little about what the word pressure means to you and then look up the scientific definition for pressure. You are to describe me all the differences and similarities between the two definitions. Next you are to right about what it feels like to be under pressure in the emotional sense and again from the sense of an object under pressure. What are the similarities and differences here? Write in your book or on your Student Journal.
This is montell.
Pressure is a type of force that can be produce by air, there’s lots of different types of pressures, pressure can be used in football when the oppisition has the ball but the meaning of pressure in the science way is when your in a compact space and you use pressure to get out or move. The defition of pressure is when the ahigh gas concentration is thought to be because of the enormous weight and pressure of the continental ice cap. When your under pressure it’s hard because sometimes you don’t know what to do so you panic and get scared, even when your playing football when you get pressure in football you panic so you will lose the ball or get tackle
That was REALLY interesting way to compare physical and metaphorical pressure, Montell. I like that you used the fear you feel when any type of pressure is being applied to compare them. Check your tense and grammar please and send me a redraft.
You feel pressure when something presses on you whether a physical force or a stressful situation. If you Experienced something that really traumatised you or something that you need to complete in a certain time you wil fell pressure.
There are two meanings of the word pressure; one, applying certain amount of force to something and two, something being intense and effecting your confidence.
Well I think you explained this excellently. I’d like you to check your floating capitals and then tell me how we measure pressure in real life situations and in science.

I think word pressure means continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
Marley, I like what you’ve said but I suspect a little copy and pasting and has gone on. I’d like this to be redone by Tuesday please. A solid paragraph of your own words.
The pressure of a looming deadline might cause you to finally get to work on an assignment. Pressure can also be a verb, like when your friend pressures you to go rock climbing despite your fear of heights. The rocks you would rather not climb were formed long ago by extreme heat and pressure. While climbing, your friend’s blood pressure may rise right along with yours when she sees how clumsy you are.
You feel pressure when something presses on you –- whether a physical force or a stressful situation. If you don’t crack under the pressure of witnessing the accident, you will calmly apply pressure on the driver’s wound until help arrives.
Wow! Thanks Jeremy. I really like that you described pressure as both verb and a noun. Try to improve your work now by telling me how physical and metaphorical pressure are similar too.
