Lesson OUTLINE
20-25min Students continue work on their wheel projects.
10min Students who have completed assembly should do some test rolls IN CLASS on the floor and make adjustments. (Students must write their names on their wheels.)
5min Wheel Tests. The wheels must roll straight-ish down 15ft of black top (starting from the concrete walkway). The wheel can’t be airborne or assisted by the wind. Each group gets two attempts. Successful wheels are collected and unsuccessful wheels/designs must be modified before they are tested again. (Some students must make new wheels with the same or different designs.)
5min Clean-up. (Students wipe glue stains off tables.)
Engineering Project: The Wheel (Day 1)
CW: Paper Wheel Design. (14” diameter and 1” wide). Must be made in class to get credit.
DN: To succeed in the wheel project you need to be what?

Lesson OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now.
5min The Wheel Design Introduction: Students will construct a wheel with a diameter of 14+ inches and width of 1 inch or more that is constructed out of regular letter size paper and glue only.
Differentiation: Students can choose to follow their own design. Student’s design must indicate accurate details on how to construct the wheel. (Essentially you should be able to give it to a complete stranger and they should be able to make it.) Design must be approved before starting. Students will only get two chances to have their designs approved. Successful designs will receive a higher grade.
5min Teacher will distribute handouts. Students will take out their Donut Wheel Design and review their notes.
25-35min Students will carefully cut out all the pieces. Encourage them to take their time and be precise. Only after they finish cutting out all their pieces from the first set of green and white sheets may they get another. Students must finish cutting those before they receive another set of green and white sheets.
THERE IS NO GLUEING TODAY. ALL WHEEL PROJECT WORK MUST BE COMPLETED IN CLASS.
5min Finish the second worksheet.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
How to Use Spreadsheets
HW: Finish More Exercises (on Schoology).
CW: Completed Spreadsheet Practice (on Google Schoology).
DN: What are spreadsheets?
EQ: How do you create a table and chart with a trendline?
Reminder: [1] Safety quiz retakes next Friday during tutorial. [2] CER & Experiments quiz retakes next week Wednesday and Thursday at Lunch must bring 10+ flashcards (p3-6 of your notebook) to participate.
