Homework for Friday June 3rd

Hello my movers and shakers of the future!

This first video is about a woman whose job is to design theme park attractions, just like you guys!  She is a mechanical engineer and a theme park designer. Listen carefully to the things she says!  Think about what you can add to your project to make it more appealing to the judges!  Also, pay attention to the words the presenters use and if there are any words you don't understand, write them on your SAZ Notes sheets or in your packet.

CLICK the button that says CC for subtitles.

The second is about some roller coasters in the United States.

Here are some famous Water Slides.  Listen carefully about the SAFETY CONCERNS that are raised.  You will need to talk about the safety features of your ride in order to convince the judges that your ride is safe!

Finally, here is a picture of what a really nice scale model, like the ones you made, can look like if you pay a lot of attention to beauty and details!

Homework for May 25th

Hi everyone,

   First, I'd like for you to reflect on what I said today about concentration.  Although you have grown a lot as students in the last year, I hope to see us learn to concentrate as a group.  That means we need to help each other stay on task.  We need to remind each other to stay focused.

Second, here's a flashback!  What a fun activity that was!

Remember your homework for today is to:

1. Watch the videos on the class blog.
2. Draw a visualization of Newton’s Third Law and write a sentence in your own words.

**Students who have missed class recently: First, rest, recover, sleep and drink lots of water! We need you back to class feeling full of energy! Watch the videos below and continue reading the Force and Motion book. Do independent research using YouTube to enrich your learning.

Videos for today!

What is a pendulum? A pendulum is a stick or piece of string that has a weight at the bottom. It swings back and forth at a constant rate.

Next, here's a clip from a Bill Nye video about Force and Motion.

The third short video is about FRICTION!  

Last but not least, here is a video of the three Laws of Motion explained using a bicycle as an example.  The first two are easy to understand and the third is challenging.

Have fun and talk with your parents about all the fun things you are learning!
