Class Assignments: Monday and Block Day

Students,

As mentioned last week, I am attending the University of California Curriculum Integration conference to participate in the design of a possible new UC approved course. So far, things are off to a great start.


The following are tasks for you to complete listed by period:


2nd Period
Please continue your deisgn efforts on the Glider Challenge. You will likely want to start assembling your Glider if you've completed your "Prototype of the Prototype" and other Design Phase requirements. Be sure you photograph your work to make it easier to create your blog write up!

Please click here to see all your Glider Challenge Deliverables.

Elmers glue is available under the projector. The "Glue All" version is more effective than the "School" version. What other glue might you use to assemble your glider? Be resourceful.

Additional tissue paper can be found in the blue IKEA bag.

If you complete the fabrication of your glider as well as your write up, please watch the Making Stuff: Stronger video.

We will "compete" with our Gliders on Thursday when I return. I'm sure you'll have some amazing flights!



3rd Period

Do the Locker Design Activity.

You have Monday and Block Day to complete this design task. If you finish your work, you may watch the Making Stuff: Stronger video.



4th Period
Please continue your efforts with the Machine Control Capstone Project. Once you complete your simple pneumatic machine, you will need to investigate how to use the photoresistor.

Investigate this sensor and also make progress on your overall design.

Be sure to capture images of your efforts (brainstorms, sketches, decision matrix, etc.) to help support your Machine Control Capstone Project Deliverables.

Click through here to find out how you will be graded on this project.



5th Period

Do the Locker Design Activity.

You have Monday and Block Day to complete this design task. If you finish your work, you may watch the Making Stuff: Stronger video.




If any student is roadblocked on their assigned tasks for any reason, please fall back on watching the Making Stuff: Stronger video.
