Agenda June 14

1 Water Rocket Launching Day

Friday, June 11, 2010

Agenda June 11

1 Video National Geographic Naked Science - The Earth without the Moon

Rocket Launching on Monday finished or not. I kept seeing many of you "blow off" the class time I gave you to work on this assignment and not listen to my instructions on how too as well as not use the website I provided you. This has saddened me. I sure hope you all get finished with this last assignment.

Miniatures Club - Mr. Realini has discussed the idea with me and I am aiming at June 21 in the morning. We will be playing WWII ships like we played before. Lunch will NOT be provided. More info to follow.

Agenda June 8

1 Triathlon for Period 1 and 3
2 Bottle Water Rocket Activity Day 2
Some notes on this project. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Bright for the use of their air compressor. We should be launching Period 4, 5, and 6 rockets on Monday in left field of the baseball field (where the archery unit gets set up). The test launches today were spectacular. Please refer to that website for instructions. Substituting cereal box cardboard for the plastic folders is recommended for this one launch activity. Regular packing tape can be substituted for strapping tape. Duct tape may be too heavy. The 20 point grading rubric is on the board in class. The team size is 1 to all in a class. We will be working in class on this assignment on Wednesday and Thursday only. Work at home only if you cannot finish in class. This was not designed to be a home assignment. Period 1 and 3 will not get to work on this in class until Monday so this assignment will not be required. If some students build a rocket and have it ready for Monday morning then we will launch them. Extra Credit will be available. Since these will be extra credit, the group size will be limited to 4 and only from your class.

1 Return Work including Posters from ceiling and walls.
2 Bottle Water Rockets Activity. For the periods that are not going to view the triathlons this week, we are conducting the Water Bottle Rocket Activity. Students may need to purchase the following supplies, strapping tape and a two pocket plastic folder at an office supply store like Office Depot. I HIGHLY recommend that you view all three videos at this web site:
