Welcome to Day 2 STEM Aeronautic Camp August 7, 2012

GREETING Busy Airport Greeting 1.Picture yourself at a busy airport picking up someone you haven’t seen in a long time. 2.You recognize the person across the terminal. 3.In slow motion, wave and walk toward the person. 4.At the last minute you realize it isn’t the person you are picking up. 5.Shake hands and introduce yourself anyway. 6.Continue moving toward people and introducing yourself until the teacher calls time.

Reading: “The Eagle and the Hawk” I am the eagle, I live in high country, In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky, I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers, But time is still turning, they soon will be dry, And all those who see me, and all who believe in me, Share in the freedom I feel when I fly! Come dance with the west wind, And touch all the mountain tops, Sail o'er the canyons, and up to the stars, And reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, And all that we can be, not what we are. by:John Denver

Flying Music Today’s song is: “The Eagle and the Hawk,” by John Denver

Learning Targets for Camp I can explain the Principles of Flight. I can demonstrate the Principles of Flight by constructing a glider. I can use the Engineering Design Process this week to complete a variety of aeronautic products. I can reflect on my aeronautic camp experience each day in my journal. I can work collaboratively with others.
