“…We choose to go to the moon “…We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency…” President John F. Kennedy visited Rice University campus on September 12, 1962, and delivered a speech in the stadium on the Nation's Space Effort. Kennedy cites scientific progress as evidence that exploration of space is inevitable and argues that the United States should lead the space effort in order to retain a position of leadership on earth. He stated that we explore space not because it is easy but because it is difficult, and that the U.S. should "do it right and do it first before this decade is out," inspiring and engaging the nation in the space race. Although Kennedy was assassinated the following year, on November 22, 1963, his dream of winning the space race was fulfilled on July 20, 1969, when NASA's Apollo XI mission successfully landed the first men on the moon. As astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Module, he proclaimed "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." His fellow astronaut Edwin Aldrin Jr. also walked on the moon's surface and the two men gathered 47 pounds of lunar surface material for research purposes.

Grading: Unit ½ DA SI Sig Dig Lesson 1   Grading will be based primarily on a 4-point scale. On this scale, a 3.5 - 4 will translate to Excellence, a 3 will translate to High Effort, a 2 will translate to Effort, a 1 will translate to Motions, and a 0 will translate to Off-Track. Anything that is collected (homework, quizzes, exams, projects, papers, etc…) will have a grade associated with it and at the end of each term your grade will be calculated by using these grades. Did Nothing (0.0): Off-Track Be Attentive (1.0): Gather information Motions 65 -Read the question, draw a picture (Would a visualization be helpful?) -Rough Draft -List all relevant information for the assignment -Outline -Write out "possible" formats that include the answer in them Physics I Fall 2015 Unit one half lessons SI Sig Digits Drakes Equation

Be Insightful (2.0): Work to a conclusion First Draft Effort 75 Unit ½ DA SI Sig Dig Lesson 1 Be Insightful (2.0): Work to a conclusion First Draft Effort 75 -"Start with the end in mind": -What does the answer look like? -What process should be used?   Be Insightful (3.0): Reach a conclusion Final Draft High-Effort 85 -Work through the entire process to a conclusion and it is correct (no critical check noted) Physics I Fall 2015 Unit one half lessons SI Sig Digits Drakes Equation

Be Critical (3.5): TEST/CHECK your conclusion Excellence 90 Unit ½ DA SI Sig Dig Lesson 1 Be Critical (3.5): TEST/CHECK your conclusion Excellence 90 - (work / results) - Verify Result with a second test or others input - If it does not meet the original standards, fix it - Reach an incorrect conclusion AND realize it. (Ran out of time to correct…) -"Re-read" the question Review the “process” Initiate assistance   Be Responsible (4.0): Finalize your results Excellence 95 - 100 Verified conclusion is correct: Teach someone else what you learned Physics I Fall 2015 Unit one half lessons SI Sig Digits Drakes Equation

“Am I responsible for my own learning?” How have you done these past three weeks?   Off Track: I was not responsible for my own learning. I did not learn. I did not do the basic expectations or the assignments: Motions: Someone else was more responsible for my own learning than I. Someone taught me. I did the work assigned, but nothing more. I waited to be told what to do. I did not initiate the learning needed to complete the assignments. Effort: I was responsible for my own learning. I taught myself. I completed the assignments and initiated the learning I needed to do, to complete the assignments. Consistency: I was responsible for my own learning. I am consistent in executing the FOUR-P’s I did extra work or “redid” work that I missed or did not understand. Excellence: I was responsible for my own learning AND intentionally helped others. I taught myself and someone else. I completed the assignments, initiated the learning I needed to do, to complete the assignments. I did extra work or “redid” work that I missed or did not understand. I sought others out to help them with material Unit ½ DA SI Sig Dig Lesson 1 Physics I Fall 2015 Unit one half lessons SI Sig Digits Drakes Equation

It's because the snow Takes out the white. That leaves it clean For the trees and grass to take out the green. Then pears and bananas start to mellow, And bit by bit they take out the yellow. The sunsets, of course, take out the red And pour it into the ocean bed Or behind the mountains in the west. You take all that out and the rest Couldn't be anything else but blue. Look for yourself.
