I will be out this afternoon (I will still be in the school, just in meetings in other rooms) and so we will have a substitute. Because I will not be in the classroom and to not stress out the substitute, there will be no tools being used and as such work on the Mousetrap cars will be put on hold. Instead, you will get to work on your historical technology assignment. IF(!) your work on the mousetrap car involves no use of tools (with the exception of hot glue) you may work on your mousetrap car. Details about this historical technology project can be found under the Engineering resources tab, but I am also putting them here:
-Objective: Complete a presentation as a group of 2 or individual over a historical technology. This historical technology can be anything, such as: fire, a wind turbine, the first automobile, a fidget spinner, a steam engine, the first MAC, etc... Then, create a model or prototype of this technology. There will be no one day when everyone presents their project, but instead each student will have to present their project on one day before the semester is over. -Rubric: historyprojectrubric.pdf note: there are three parts to this project: 1. Completing a PowerPoint presentation with slides that address each of the criteria on the rubric, 2. Making a model of the technology, and 3. Presenting your project. A good goal for today will be to mostly complete the PowerPoint presentation and then we will pick up the rest another day. The second part about making a model is a new aspect added to this project. If you can get started on this feel free to, but otherwise you can save this for another day. Hope y'all have a good day and I look forward to seeing you on Friday. Sorry for the short notice on this! I read my calendar wrong and had thought I was going to be out on Friday not Thursday. If you have any questions, I am giving the substitute my phone number and they can call/text me as I will still be in the building.
