  1. Wednesday 9/26/18 Notebook Entry:  An aerospace engineer is someone who may work on aircraft, spacecraft, or satellites. How might the work of an engineer be like the work you are doing to build a boat?

  2. Iteriation • Sometimes, just making a first, simple try at solving the problem gives you a better understanding of the task at hand. • Iteration is a repeated attempt to improve a process or product.

  3. Behavior Norms for Group Work  • Pay attention to what other group members need.  • No one is done until everyone is done.  • Play your role in the group.  • Help group members do things for themselves.  • Listen and pay attention to what others are saying.  • Explain by telling how/why.  • Everyone in the group participates.  • Everyone in the group helps. 

  4. Build a Boat Part 2 • Choose 1 boat design for the group to build.  • On your grid paper sketch the design for your next boat. • Include side view and top view. • Label drawings with measurements you plan to use (length, width, height) • What ideas do you have for your next boat design? • What will you keep?  • What will you change? 

  5. Build a Boat 2 – You will have 10 minutes! • Refer to the measurements on your grid paper, then use foil to build your group’s second boat. • Do not redesign or rebuild once you start to test!  • Test your boat & record results on your boat records sheet. (#1 & 2) If you test multiple times record each result.

  6. Clean Up – Lead by materials manager • All materials, except tinfoil, go back into the basket. • Return basket to table. • Clean up any water spills.

  7. Build a Boat Records Sheet  • Complete questions #3 & 4 • Prepare a 1 minute summary of your boat design to share with the class.  • Recorder keeps notes for this in their spiral. • Describe the design. • Tell us what your boat accomplished when tested (# of key & time to float).

  8. Build a Boat Records Sheet • Staple grid paper to the back of your boat records sheet and turn in. • Put boat in the storage cupboard. MAKE SURE IT IS ON YOUR CLASS PERIOD SHELF!
