Ok kiddos, last full week of school.
We'll be wrapping up our balloon rocket project and writing a lab report.
Day 1
See Khan Academy reguirement in Day 3
1. Compiling the data.
- You will be taking the data that we collected and put it into several graphs using:
- Line of best fit tool - use this tool to create a line that best describes your data. Using the Snipping Tool in the start menu, save a picture of your graph to your Z: drive so that you can use it later.
- Excel Spreadsheet - you will need to follow directions in class. Make sure you save your spreadsheet so you can use it later.
2. Starting the Lab Report
- Follow the directions in the Lab Report guidelines - each of you is responsible for writing your own lab report so you will need to get the data from your note-taker
Day 2
Continue work on your lab report and your Power Point presentation that goes with it.
Day 3
Final Khan Academy check-in - you will get a Khan Academy Assessment grade based on how many points you have earned since the last check-in. Be sure that you have increased your points or you will not be a happy camper when report cards come out.
Looking ahead to next week...
We will do the following next week
1. Final balloon rocket races ??? (For those who want to improve their designs or find the perfect balloon)
2. One last assessment - not sure what form it will take yet, but I'll let you know.
3. Video about Space Flight/Rockets or something like that.
Aloha,
I have a sick little one at home, so I won't be in today.
Either Ms. Wilson or Mrs. Anderson will be covering.
I expect you to be on your best behavior.
Here's what you'll be doing.
On a sheet of paper to be turned in...
- Write what know about the sound barrier/the speed of sound.
Watch the video at this link.
- Write down at least 3 Facts and 1 Question you have about the content of the video.
Read the short selection as a class. Nasa Reading
- What did you learn about the sound barrier and jet engines?
- How does breaking the sound barrier and going to hypersonic flight relate to the design process?
If there's time left over, students can work on the computers doing:
We will be starting our balloon rocket project this week, so it's hard to say what we will be doing each day. Below is a rough outline.
Day 1
Discuss project
Formula: Distance = Rate x Time
Begin balloon rocket project
Day 2
Continue balloon rocket project
First round of trials + graphing
Day 3
Continue balloon rocket project (maybe finish)
Second and third round of trials + graphing
Day 1
More on linear equations - you need to know this stuff - REALLY.
Quiz
Homework: Play the game at this link. Read the directions CAREFULLY.

1. What did you like about this game?
2. What didn't you like?
3. What did you learn from this game?
OHIA: Complete the task above AND in WORDS and in a DIAGRAM, explain how you find the equation of a line that passes through the points (0,-2) and (-1,1).
Day 2
Grade Quiz
NASA Connect Video
Homework:
Part 1: In WORDS and in a DIAGRAM, explain how you find the equation of a line that passes through the points (0,-2) and (-1,1).

Wednesday
Work with this Applet for a while.
Play the game at this link.
Then play games here.
Day 3
Demonstration: Distance=Rate x Time and Rate = Distance/Time
Reading: The X-1 and other Supersonic jets.
Homework: Khan Academy and Math Log (optional).
This week we will start looking at graphing in the coordinate plane - something you've already done in Engineering, so we will be moving quickly.
Day 1
Graphing points in the coordinate plane
We will be learning about the coordinate plane in class today
Here's a game to play that will help you learn coordinates. Play the easy version first and then work your way up to the harder versions.
