Today in Selected Topics, we finished up our unit on earth science. We will start our unit on Physics with "The Tower" lab. Students are building towers using popsicle sticks and wood glue. Structures must be 7.5 - 8.5 inches tall and weigh 34 grams or less. Students will analyze and test their towers by adding weight to the structure until it breaks. The all time record is 255 pounds. Our study is centered on the physics of load bearing members of the structure as well as adding stabilizing members. Students starting on their towers below ...
Computer Science will work this week to design and code a program that could be used to sort and print mailing labels. After this program, we will check programs and move on to graphics and animation. Our graphics unit will take us to Christmas break.
Raining this evening, staying in to grade some papers.
