Featured Blogs

Here are another set of unique postings from the past two days:

Austin, Micah and Leilani - Period 4
Makana and Ian - Period 4
Kiha and Tylar - Period 6 - Dangerous for the videographer
Sam, Brenna and Kristen - Period 6

Keep up the great work and see you tomorrow in class with Launch day 3 with a 3 second minimum in the air with an attached parachute.

Posting reminders

Everyoneʻs posts are looking good. I do like the effort and like the adding of the multimedia, launch videos and other images. It is adding to the quality of the posting. I do also like the analysis and discussion of the launches and your ideas for adapting your designs to improve them.

A friendly reminder that you are supposed to be referencing and properly citing your images that you are getting from the internet. Without these citations these posts will be docked points based upon the rubric.

Keep up the good work. Reminder that Thursdayʻs launch will require you to launch a minimum of 3 seconds in the air and a parachute must be attached. Be sure to start data collection on the time in the air and to include in in your reporting on your blog. An idea may be a picture of your rocket design, and the time in the air. Then the adjustments with another picture and the time in the air. Try to use this to relay and convey your findings and the scientific approach and revision of your experience.

Launching Day #1 and Posting to the blogs

As we continue to add our documentation of our progress in our water bottle rocket lab, please be sure to continue to follow the 100 word minimum posting. This is true even if you are posting some video from todayʻs launches. See the Wiki for more information on the rubric and expectations for the blog posts.

Also be sure to visit other group blogs in order to see their posts, videos and experiences during this project and to comment and to start discussions with the groups. Hopefully we will be able to start and nurture this learning community into a good network of information and ideas.

Great job today. Only one minor injury and a few very wet students (maarrrrrrrr!) Please continue on with your designing and safety precautions. I will be assessing the launchers and attempt to have the ones that work best ready for our launches on Day #2
