Welcome to STEM Aeronautics Camp July , 2013

What does aeronautics mean? aeronautics | ˌ e(ə)rə ˈ nôtiks| plural noun the science or practice of travel through the air.

GREETING  Introduce yourself to the group by saying your name, what school you are coming from while animating something that flies.  Ex: Hi, I’m Mrs. Kibbe. I come from STEM and I’m a hummingbird!

Reading: Impressions of a Pilot, by Gary Claud Stokor Flight is freedom in its purest form, To dance with the clouds which follow a storm; To roll and glide, to wheel and spin, To feel the joy that swells within; To leave the earth with its troubles and fly, And know the warmth of a clear spring sky; Then back to earth at the end of a day, Released from the tensions which melted away. Should my end come while I am in flight, Whether brightest day or darkest night; Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain, Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again; For each of us is created to die, And within me I know, I was born to fly.

Flying Music  Today’s song is: “FLY,” redo of Nicki Minaj by Kidz Bop

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 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.

Habits of Scholarship  Ambassadors present the HOS poster  Which Habits do you think we will work on the most during camp?

Learning Target Tracker I have exceeded the target. I have met the target. I am more than halfway to meeting the target. I am at the beginning stages of this work. Short- term Target I can explain the Principles of Flight. I can use the Engineering Design Process to complete a variety of aeronautic challenges. I can reflect on my Aeronautic Camp experience in my journal each day. I can work collaboratively.

Bernoulli’s Principle – As the speed of air increases, air pressure decreases.  Take journals to centers to complete the activities – 5 minutes at each center.  Complete a journal entry for each center – draw, label and explain what you discovered.  Stay at the center until time is called.

 Log onto  50 minute BBK – Building Background Knowledge and challenge  Are you up to the challenge?

Snack and Recess  Vote inside or outside for snack  15 minute recess outside (weather permitting)

Review the Challenge RISKING FAILURE TO BE SUCCESSFUL CHASE THE PROBLEM TO MEET THE CHALLENGE TO FLY THE DREAM

Here’s the Challenge Produce a design that incorporates a shoebox as part of your glider. Additionally, your Shoebox Glider will have to meet the criteria and constraints partially listed below. Your Challenge is open-ended and involves a variety of collaborative and creative problem solving efforts!

Accomplish the following tasks: 1.Research the dynamics of flight and apply them to your efforts. 2.Determine and gather the materials you will need for your glider. 3.Determine how to launch the shoebox glider in a consistent way. 4.Obtain the most efficient glide slope ratio possible. 5.Demonstrate your understanding and success to NASA.

Criteria Constraints Standards or requirements the device must include. Things that limit the design. The glider must move forward at least 3 meters. The glider must demonstrate an efficient positive glide slope ratio. The glider must not break upon landing. The glider’s slope and aspect ratios must be determined. Teams will prepare a final presentation of results and understanding. The glider must include an intact shoebox in its design. There are NO materials constraints. There will be working, research, testing time limits. Final presentations will have time limit (approx. 3 minutes).

Lunch and R&R (Relax and Read)  Return all materials to proper location.  Enjoy lunch and clean up.  Recess  15 minute R&R.

Engineering Design Challenge  NASA Engineering Design Process VideosNASA Engineering Design Process Videos  Share materials and supplies  Form groups of 3  Complete the challenge  Count tiles and record distances on chart

What makes a good partner? In your journal make a list of the qualities you would like in your partner(s). Qualities of a good partner Attendance Listens _______

Walk and Talk 1.Take your Good Partner List on a walk. 2.When the leader calls “STOP AND SHARE,” you share your list with the person closest to you. 3.They share their list with you. 4.Repeat 2 more times when directed.

Reflection  Whip share something you learned today about aeronautics.  In your journal, write in complete sentences one thing you liked about today - 2 minutes.  Exchange journals, respond to what was written - 2 minutes.

Tuesday  Dramatization on attendance.  Bring R&R book.  Think about who you would like to partner with. Does that person have the qualities you are looking for in a partner?
