Student Planner April 22, 2016 Place this in the proper place Lab next week – no safety test, no lab

Summary: We had a standard opening. We went over the SkyMap assignment; took the vocab quiz, wrote new vocab words and reviewed missed videos from Wednesday

Previous Essential Question: What is the main reason the Hemet area cannot see the stars clearly on a clear night?

Topic/Objective: Name: Stomp Rocket Lab Class/Period: Date: April 22, 2016 Essential Question: Develop a hypothesis for the lab

6 Warm Up

1. first 4 planets of the solar system. Since they are made of solids this name is given. 2. a series of stars which when using imagination, makes a shape in the sky. Often called the Zodiac. Rocky (terrestrial) planet; Constellation; Eclipse; Magnitude; Rotation: Revolution; Orbit; Astronomical unit

3. an event in which the shadow of one celestial body falls on another. Lunar– moon is hidden by Earth; solar – sun hidden by moon 4. the measure of the brightness of a star. AM of 4 is about the dimmest we can see with the naked eye. Sun has a AM of -26 Rocky (terrestrial) planet; Constellation; Eclipse; Magnitude; Rotation: Revolution; Orbit; Astronomical unit

Home work No Safety Test? NO rocket launch! Study Vocabulary

Today’s Work Finish vocab. Notes on stomp rocket lab Grade planners Collect notebooks Collect Triad 5 final make up work

1. Revolution – The elliptical motion of a body as it orbits another body in space. Earth’s revolution is days in length (year) 2. Rotation: the spinning motion of a body on its axis. Earth’s rotation lasts 24 hours (one day)

3. Orbit - the path an object takes around a body in space. Satellites orbit the Earth, along with the moon. 4. Astronomical unit – Unit of measure from the surface of the Sun to the Earth. Approximately 150,000,000 km

5. Rocky (terrestrial) planet – first 4 planets of the solar system. Since they are made of rock or soil (terrestrial) the name is given. 6.Constellation – a series of stars which when using imagination, makes a shape in the sky. Often called the Zodiac.

7. Eclipse- an event in which the shadow of one celestial body falls on another. Lunar eclipse – moon is hidden by Earth; solar eclipse – sun hidden by moon 8. Magnitude – the measure of the brightness of a star. AM of 4 is about the dimmest we can see with the naked eye. Sun has a AM of -26

Notes Stomp Rocket Lab Observed: Pieces of notebook paper can be crafted into a missile powered by compressed air. The compressed air can be created by stomping on an empty soda bottle. These rockets can fly quite far. Various designs may affect the distances achieved.

Question: Can we develop a design that maximizes the distance a stomp rocket will fly horizontally? Prediction: If trained students guide others in the design and construction of stomp rockets, then we will be able to test different rocket designs to determine which design maximizes horizontal flight distance.

Hypothesis: Construct your own hypothesis

Tools – ROCKET construction: a) white notebook paper for barrel; b) ¼ sheet of paper for nose cone; c) large or small squares of construction paper for fins; d) cellophane tape. STOMP BOTTLE construction: 2 L. soda bottle; 30 cm. drip hose; 60 cm duct tape.

Procedure: Construct rocket using white notebook paper for the barrel. The barrel opening must allow the drip hose to be inserted. The nose cone must be sealed around the tip and the joint with the barrel. The stabilizing fins may be large, small, or a combination of each. 3 or 4 fins per rocket. Put your name on the rocket barrel and fins.

Rocket configuration: Even seats = 4 fins Odd seats = 3 fins Row 1 long barrel rockets – 280mm long Row 2 medium barrels -215 mm long Row 3 Short barrels = 110 mm long

Once complete, place rocket on inflated bottle launcher, inserting the drip hose about 6 cm into the barrel. Hold hose in a 45 0 angel to the ground. Stomp on the middle of the bottle. NOTE! DO NOT STOMP ON THE BOTTLE ENDS. Allow the rocket to settle on the ground. The farthest distance will be marked. If time allows, a second attempt for distance shall be completed.

Longest distance is the winner.
