This week will be full of goodness as we wrap up thermal energy and our other energy transformations and conservation.
Monday
Students will review their test from Friday. After, they will have an opportunity to work on their NTK 3.4. This is due on Wednesday at the end of class and they will have time to work in class. Students that have completed this will be doing a performance assessment in class using a rubric, which can be found here. The assessment allows them to choose between designing a roller coaster or designing a Rube Goldberg machine. The CREATION of the items does not count as a grade, so the focus should be on the plan and design. This is also due by the end of class on Wednesday.
Homework: Select 2 questions from your NTK 3.4 to answer and study.
Tuesday
Students will continue to work on their NTK for PS3.4 as well as their performance assessment.
Homework: Select 2 questions from your NTK 3.4 to answer and study.
Wednesday
Students will work on their NTK PS3.4 and their performance assessment. Both are due at the end of the class period.
Homework: RELAX! You’ve earned it!
Thursday
Students will complete a lab about conduction.
Homework: Finish lab questions if not completed in class.
Friday
Students will complete a lab about convection. We will review Heat Transfer and introduce our performance assessment for this topic, the thermos challenge! For this engineering design project, each student will need to bring in a variety of material from home. Our brainstorming for the list of stuff will happen in class.
Homework: Bring in materials for the challenge!
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!
