Below are the example problems we went over in class. I will be out both Monday and Tuesday. I will be adding some support documents and links throughout Monday and Tuesday to help you with your Rube Goldberg devices. below is what I expect from you:
Monday: The sub should have a page with a couple problems on it. In the first problem you are asked to draw force diagrams and explain the forces. You should have 5 different diagrams and brief explanations. The second problem is very similar to the problem I did in class a couple weeks ago. You will solve for the tension values, then use the information to determine the potential and kinetic energy. Do your work on your own paper and submit it to the sub when you are finished. Be sure to show your steps, use correct units, etc. I don't need a full CER, but comments explaining your work is helpful to me in finding where you may or may not be missing a concept. Tuesday: Tuesday is a project day. Work with your team to complete a Gantt Chart and begin working on your project. You should begin working on the theme or outcome of your device, research ideas, use CAD, design prototypes or start constructing a paper, alpha design. You should upload your Gantt Chart to my google classroom. Don't hit submit so you are still able to go back and modify as needed, but I can still see it. SIDE NOTE: If your team has not submitted your Crash Cushion report, do so ASAP! And if you have not submitted your Energy Inquiry lab from Friday, do that as well. Here is the lab report for today's inquiry lab. Edit the digital copy and submit to google classroom.
You will work with your team to create a Rube Goldberg device. The device will contain 6 unique energy transformations. For this project you will need to build a paper alpha design/prototype before moving into the shop and putting nail to wood. Below you will find a couple useful pieces in completing your next project, but there will be more to come.
There are also "behind the scenes" and "making of" videos available to help.
The time is approaching for you to finish testing your crash cushions and analyze your data. The report is due on the 19th to google classroom, however we do have review, a quiz, and a test in the meantime, and will be moving on to Energy after the test. Make sure you've got three designs that have been evaluated (but not built), you've determined the final design, and then you've sent a crash cart (or brok or something else) crashing into your design... several times. Use the MASH document, the design log, and the data table to complete the project; all are available on google classroom. This project is as much about engineering as it is about physics, so make sure you are accurately using physics concepts when explaining why your crash cushion acts as it does.
