WEEKLY EXPLORATIONS...
QUESTIONS:
How does gravity affect matter on Earth? Do all objects fall at the same rate? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity?
How can we slow the pull of gravity?
How does a parachute system function? How can I design & construct a parachute to meet our success criteria?
In-Class:
QUESTION:
How does gravity affect matter on Earth? Do all objects fall at the same rate? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity?
1. Recap of FRIDAY’S Investigation
3. Videos x 2: Video Recap & Video of Falling Objects (No Air)
4. Anchor Chart / Journal Pages (copy from a friend, glue into Journal & update Table of Contents)
4. Crash Course Video REVIEWQUESTION:
How does gravity affect matter on Earth? Do all objects fall at the same rate? Does the mass/weight of matter affect gravity?
How does a parachute system function?
1. Checkpoint on Gravity (make this up when you return)
2. Assign CER: Gravity (due Friday)
3. Copy Parachute Journal Page (no handout) from a friend
4. We launched ouro next Engineering Task: Parachutes
5. We Started our Research - See anchor chart about the Parachute System in our classroom - this project will continue the next 3 or 4 days…
Assignment: CER: Gravity (due Friday)
Wednesday
QUESTION:
How does a parachute system function? How can I design & construct a parachute to meet our success criteria?
Engineering Task: Parachutes - this project will continue throughout the week
1. Define the Problem - as a class & write in journal
2. Research - Read " Playing with Parachutes" article & take notes in journal
3. Brainstorm - make a PLAN - draw & label a design idea to share with your engineering team
Assignment: CER: Gravity (due Friday)
QUESTION:
How does a parachute system function? How can I design & construct a parachute to meet our success criteria?
1.Engineering Task: Parachutes - this project will continue throughout the week
1. Let's finish & share our PLANS! Majority Rules - work toward GROUP consensus and select a design or a HYBRID of multiple designs...
2. Video... testing prototypes & perseverance
3. Time to BUILD & TEST!!!
Assignment: CER: Gravity (due Friday)
QUESTION:
How does a parachute system function? How can I design & construct a parachute to meet our success criteria?
What are failure points? How can we redesign our parachute to eliminate failure points and/or improve our design?
Engineering Task: Parachutes - this project will continue throughout the week
1. Work . Time to BUILD & TEST & Redesign/Improve & DOCUMENT FAILURE POINTS & IMPROVEMENTS in Google Doc
2. Show off parachute design & Present using "Failure Points & Solutions" Doc to Classmates...
Planning Ahead:
No major tests/projects this week
