Day 2....A Success!!! Whoever said there wasn't enough math and science in this class was dead wrong!!! We learned so much today. We reviewed the "Bernoulli Effect". We discussed the "Venturi Effect" where when you close down an area where fluid is flowing, the fluid must speed up to escape. We reviewed Yaw, Pitch, and Roll when pertaining to airplanes. We discussed whet the term "CG" means and the symbol which looks like the BMW symbol. We tried to lift chairs while discussing "Moment Arm," which is the distance of a weight from the center of gravity.
Here is your homework for tonight:
1. After flying our foam gliders the first time, when improvements did you make and how did it improve or not improve you second flight? Why do you think this?
2. How did we follow the scientific method today? Fill in each step with what we did to test the foam or balsa gliders:
Observation:
Question:
Hypothesis:
Experiment:
Conclusion:
Extra Credit: using the 2 sets of data you should have copied down off the white board, create 1 scatter plot with both sets using "Student names" and the "X" axis, and "Distance" and the "Y" axis. If you can get the graphs on the blog, you earn double extra credit because you'll have to teach me how to do it!
You all rock. I appreciate the hard work you are putting into this already.
Shalom,
Mr. Shulman
