Do Now: Please get your notebook and any papers you have been working on. Can you answer these two questions on your scrap piece of paper.
Purpose: How did your Mars Rover landing device do? Let's do some thinking before we share our analyses of the device tests. Students will sit with their teams to reflect and calculate the momentum and forces the egg experienced in their Rover model using this handout for guidance.
Ticket out - Please write a question or two on a sticky note focused on this idea: You can push an object without touching it. Tomorrow we will have a scientist meeting to learn about the design aspects that seemed to work the best for everyone's designs.

Test Mars Rover models by dropping them out the window with eggs as cargo.

How can I communicate my Mars Rover Model to other people? PLEASE read all and FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

On your way in, grab your notebook and flip to your designs from Friday. Review what you had planned, and see if there's any revisions or additions you want to make. Do Next | Review Design Brief Over the course of the next few days, you will be building a drag device to slow down a Mars Rover (egg). Your goal is to design a device that will slow your rover down in the air, to allow it to land softly and safely on the ground. This means your focus should be on ways to increase drag, not on how to pad the landing. You may only use the materials we have provided you, which can be found on the back table. You will be placed in partner groups, detailed below, to complete this activity. Studio Time You will have the remainder of the class period to brainstorm, build, test, and revise your design. After finding your partner/group, you should:
Clean Up Make sure all materials get back to their original location, and notebooks go back in the box. If you have any garbage, make sure it ends up in a trash can. Place your prototypes on the back table. Make sure there is some way to identify them as yours. Ticket Out | Tell me at the Door On your way out, share either one way you revised your design, OR one part of your design that works really well. Do Now:
Let's watch the actual Mars Perseverance landing (short version). ENGINEERING - Individual Draft Quote from Physicsclassroom.com: "The only rule for drawing free-body diagrams is to depict all the forces that exist for that object in the given situation." Do Now: Please open this Google Form or go to Classroom and test your ability to calculate velocity and momentum. We will do these practice understanding checks until everyone has mastered the skills.
Quizlet Live - Let's have some fun and practice our physical science skills. You can find the Quizlet to study on your own here. Also linked on Google Classroom for Apr 26. If you still need to finish your lab, please take time to do that today. Do Now:
Please get the Kinematics Knowledge Self-Check sheet at the door and work on reflecting on your current knowledge fo the basics of momentum physics. Studio time: Finish up the PhET Collision lab you were working on yesterday. Scientist meeting: What have we discovered are some of the scientific rules of momentum and collisions? "What makes you say that?" Play Quizlet Live to practice our physics knowledge. You can study the quizlet terms here. Ticket out: What is your muddiest point today? (What are you most confused about yet?) Momentum in collisions lab - PhET Simulation
Please see Google Classroom Do Now: Please open this Google Form and answer the questions to let me know where you are in your momentum demonstration.
Studio Time: Time dependent on responses Finish up doing your demo, calculating the momentum of your object and showing the effects of the momentum when it hits something or goes over a hill differently or whatever you chose. If you are completely done with the demo, please have a teacher check your notebook, then you can get on the PhET website and choose any PhET to play around with. Discuss momentum: What do we know so far? List on a whiteboard. What is Momentum? On a new page in your notebook. Neatly, please use the thinking routine, "I used to think...but now I think." What did you know before we started learning about it? What do you now know about it? Lesson: Collisions What happens when we collide these two bowling balls? What is the energy involved? What is going on with the momentum? What does the word elastic mean? Get a PhET Momentum Handout and on your Chromebook, go to the PhET Collisions Simulation. Click on the Explore 1D Box. Play around with the PhET for a few minutes while everyone is getting on. Let me show you around, then you can use Studio Time to get started on the lab. Do Now: Momentum Kahoot! Check-in
Before getting back to your demonstrations: Please think about your momentum demonstration you are doing today. Talk with your partner if you have one. Use the Compass Points thinking routine to think about your demonstration and jot down to be ready to share: Excited, Worried, Need, Suggest Studio Time: Work on your momentum demonstration (see Tuesday and Wednesday). Teachers will be checking in with you to see that you are on a productive track and answer any questions you have. If you feel stuck, ask a neighbor first, then don't hesitate to ask a teacher. If you and your partner finish and get everything written down, you can do the momentum knowledge practice Kahoot! again Game PIN: 01669875 Ticket out: Fist to five - Fist = I have never heard the word momentum before 5 = I think I totally get the basic idea of momentum. |
