Agenda:
- Turn in Homework: Bottle Rocket Reflection
- Check off study guides and 10 minutes of studying
- Physics Final Exam
- Garden: Redesign rockets (Ohia: Final Rocket Launch)
In notebook, record materials used and write a paragraph explaining the improvements that were made.
- Finish lab report (Please see rubric for how it will be graded: Bottle Rocket Lab Report Rubric) and finish any other missing assignments in science
Ohia: Vote for awards; Lab report due Tuesday, May 29. Please email me your lab report and post to your google sites.
- HOMEWORK: Tumblr Post- Post to tumblr site if you have not been assigned to yet.

How to design the perfect bottle rocket:
What did you learn from designing bottle rockets?
How did redesigning improve your rocket design?
How does this rocket bottle project relate to Newton’s 3 laws of motion?
Please include at least 1 type of media.
Aina is in this Friday, May 18. Aina A is on the boat
ALL STUDENTS ARE IN NEXT FRIDAY, MAY 25. 8th graders will be on the boat and 7th graders will be here at school. All student's have virtual work as well.
Please complete report card comments for Math, Science, Lang. Arts, Social Studies and ENGINEERING!
In __________________________, I am successful because ____________________________________. In __________________________, I need to work on ________________________________________ because__________. 8th graders: Please let me know how many people you are inviting to your 8th grade banquet on Friday, June 1. Only immediate family is invited (brother, sister and parents.)
IMPORTANT: Physics final exam is next week!
Agenda:
1. Turn in homework: paragraph with vocab words (email) and F=ma problem
2. Quiz-vocab=12 points
3. Vector, scalars, altitude tracker: First rocket launch powerpoint
4. Garden: First rocket launches, collect data
5. Work independently on HOMEWORK:
-Lab report: complete observations, data and NO excel graph is needed, sources of error (you DO NOT have to email to me...yet)
-Study Guide for Physics Final Exam (10 pts):Physics Final exam study guide
-Tumblr post: Reflection on first rocket launch (10 pts)
Ohia:Erica H, Megan, Casey, Oly
Koa: Agustin, Giulia, Austin, Kristen

Sorry about the wrong dates on the last post. I am unable to edit the last post, so this is an extension of the post below.
Please bring your engineering notebook to science. You will need your bottle rocket plan and will continue to record your procedures and materials.
Please use this lab report template, and not the one on the last post:
Homework: In addition to the F=ma problem,
You will also write a paragraph for how the new vocabulary words you learned today related to your bottle rocket design.
(Thrust, center of mass, friction, kinetic friction and static friction)
P.S. Quiz next week on the material you learned today in class. Please study the powerpoint in the blog post below.
If you have forget some terminalogy of the lab report:
Statement of Problem: A question that can’t be answered with yes or no.
Hypothesis: If/than statement that predicts a relationship or trend.
Variables: something measurable that can change in an experiment
Independent variable: variable you have control over in an experiment
Dependent variable: variable that changes because of the independent variable; you don’t have control over it
Materials:
List all materials needed for your experiment
Procedure:
Step by step instructions that are detailed enough for someone else to follow.
Observations:
Qualitative observations are subjective. They depend upon the person observing them. Use all of your senses to make observations.
Quantitative observations are objective. They do not depend on the person observing them. These observations are your numerical data.
Data: A thorough synopsis (summary) of your quantitative data
Sources of error: Discuss anything that may have changed your results. (1 paragraph)
– Human error
– Other error
Conclusion: In a few paragraphs summarize your results by including the given information.
-Restate your hypothesis
-Give reasons for why your hypothesis should be supported or rejected (Use your results.)
-Recommend some practical applications for your experiment.
Agenda:
1. Turn in homework: Egg drop reflection
2. Bottle rocket powerpoint Introduction to bottle rocket powerpoint
3. Design rockets out in the garden (work in partners)
4. (Back into classroom)
5. Start on lab report for Science chapter in school wide book. Work up to 'Data'
6. Quiz corrections
7. If you finish lab report and quiz corrections, work on Engineering inventor project for bottle rocket.
HOMEWORK: Tumblr- F=MA math problem
For this weeks tumblr, you wil design a math for F=ma.
The units for Force (F)=Newton's (N), Mass (m)=kg, and Acceleration (a)= m/s2 (meters per second squared)
Ohia: Erica S., Makena and Chloe
Koa: Asia, Mikhaela and Skyler
