2/21/12 - 6th grade notes

Today we got a little farther along with our K'NEX car experience.  We will be done with this activity in the next few days so make sure you bring your worksheet to class because on the last day you will turn it in for a grade.

The first class almost got done with their 2nd build of the car of their choice from the booklet.  Tomorrow, those who have finished their car will test it and once again record the distance and time of their car.  Those groups that have not finished their cars will do so at the beginning of the period and test it in the hallway.  When each group has finished with their first test, they will make a small modification to their car and write down the justification for this decision.  The group will also sketch this new design before they are allowed to make the change and test.


The second class has already tested their newly designed cars down the ramp.  Because of the many types of cars groups choose, there was a lot of variation in what each group found.  Tomorrow, we will finished testing the second modification and complete the worksheet.  PLEASE BRING WORKSHEET TO CLASS!
