Last week we completed our unit on Thermal Energy and introduced the Egg Drop Project. The egg drop project will be completed at home. Here are the instructions for the 5 steps of the Engineering Design Process that students will follow for this project:
Here are the due dates:
- EDP STep 1: due 10/9
- EDP Step 2-3: due 10/9

Here is the link to the article that students must read and incorporate into Step 1:
Monday
Students will use their online textbook Pearson Realize to begin working on Chapter, Lesson 1 on Natural Resources. While students are working, I will be hosting small groups to help remediate misconceptions with Thermal Energy.
Homework: Complete Chapter 6, Lesson 1 on Pearson Realize (available through Clever Portal). In class activities can NOT be completed tomorrow until homework is completed. Egg Drop. If students do not have access to the internet at home, please let me know asap so I can provide them a paper copy of their assignment.

Homework: Continue Chapter 6, Lesson 2 on Pearson Realize. It is only necessary to complete 10 minutes worth of work. Egg Drop.
Thursday
Students will use their online textbook to begin working on Chapter 6, Lesson 2 on Energy Use and Conservation. While students are working, I will be hosting small groups to help remediate misconceptions with Natural Resources. If students complete their lesson early they can begin working on their 2nd graphic design challenge.
Homework: Continue Chapter 6, Lesson 2 on Pearson Realize. It is only necessary to complete 10 minutes worth of work. Egg Drop.
Friday
Students who have completed their textbook homework will receive a 2nd graphic design challenge to create a poster detailing Energy Use and Conservation. This is due at the end of class.

On Wednesday of next week, we will drop our Egg Drop Vessels! You are welcome to join us during your child's class time. I hope you have a fabulous week! As always, assignments are subject to change and I will do my best to communicate those to you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, thoughts or concerns!
