Lesson OUTLINE
20-25min Students continue work on their wheel projects. Students will join ¼ pieces together to create a single functional wheel.
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 black top (starting from the concrete walkway). The wheel can’t be airborne or assisted by the wind. Each group gets three attempts. Grade determined by distance traveled. Wheels that fail to roll minimum distance are recycled and students start again from scratch. Highest grade is recorded.
5min Clean-up.
Engineering Project: The Wheel (Day 1)
CW: ¼ Wheel from Paper Wheel Design (14” diameter and 1” wide).
HW: Finish cutting and folding wheel parts.
DN: What is engineering?
Reminder: [1] Safety & Policy quiz retakes during the next tutorial. [2] Due to extreme heat, CER & Experiments quiz retakes will be available next week Wednesday and Thursday at Lunch must bring 10+ flashcards (p3-6 of your notebook) to participate.

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. Not available this quarter.
5min Teacher will distribute handouts. Students will take out their Donut Wheel Design and review their notes.
20-25min 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 pink 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 Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
