Homeroom:
FLEX PLAN FOR WEEKLY HOMEROOM RESPONSIBILITIES. YOU MUST:
COMPLETE 2 DAYS OF SSR IN HOMEROOM PER WEEK.
USE THREE DAYS FOR CLASS WORK AND PREPARATION.
YOU MAY ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE AS SHOWN BELOW
This is the daily classroom agenda for Paxton Center School grade 8 Science. Lesson plans, homework, and other relevant information will be posted here each class.
Three tracking Stations
how to trak
2 person team
one follows the rocket through eye tube
gold at highest point rocket rises to (apogee)
Second reads angle.
Report angle to launching team
After three rotations tracking, get your rocket and laucnh
Preflight pictures
Launch video
launch
post-flight video
After Flight
everyone upload pictures and videos to google Drive for use in a wrap up project
all team members
Conductor
any material electrons can move through easily
all metals
used commonly in wiring foe all electrical technology
Insulator
any material that electrons cannot move through easily
glass, rubber, air
used for protection in safety and electrical equipment
Transferring charge
Contact - rubbing an insulator on another and removing electrons through adhesion
Conduction - electrons moving though metals such a s wires
always flows for object with a high charge toward lower charge
flow until charge is equalized
Induction - polarization of a conductor when a charge object is placed near it
Charges in the conductor flow away from a negatively charge object and group up at far end
gives the conductor opposing negative and positive poles.
Finish all work on Balloons and Static Charge vs Speed Graphing
Located in GC
Turn it in.
Watch the “Cheat Codes - Balloons and Static Charge vs Speed Graphing How-to Video” to help
Students who were absent will be accommodated.
Monday
Preflight checks - passed in/entered.
Launch order - random
Demonstrations
Mr. Wahlstrom will be back Thursday.
Rocket Launching is hoped for on Monday of next week.
Rinsed!
EC if you bring three or more to share with those who have none!
Located in Google Classroom.
Due before class tomorrow
Balloons and Static Electricity
Partners to cooperatively use the simulation and discuss each propmt.
Each student to write their own response on their copy of the documents.
All work not finished in GC is homework due before school tomorrow.
Check and Review in Class
Pearl Harbor - half staff
Read “Rocket Design Basics “ in the Rocket Man document and be prepared to answer a few basic questions about:
What forces affect a rocket?
What design strategies will help make a rocket perform better?
