Week 5: Feb 26- March 2
Goals:
Make a glider that successfully goes 4 meters - design, measure, cut, glue, sand, adjust and problem solve.
Be able to calculate average speed (average velocity) with vave = change in distance/ change in time.
Activities:
Monday - Guest Speaker: Jay Locke from Intel will present on Engineering
Blockday - go over old quiz, work on glider
Thursday - 10 min final glider fine tuning, glider competition outside
Friday - Review and Test on Force Unit
Notebook
the notebook will be combined with next week's notebook. For this week there will only be two items.
1. practice velocity problems
2. Review Sheet
Important note:
Grades are lower than I would like and I have offered several extra credit opportunities. One is finding mistakes on some student posters displayed in class. The other two are linked to below.
