It was amazing to see the variety of problems that were identified today and the passion the students showed in wanting to solve problems to help meet the needs and wants of other people.   Our key takeaways have been to choose problems that you are passionate about, be confident that you make a difference by finding solutions through science and technology and start with kindness.  You can find the list of capstone questions here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BdxW9tFKUEu2nu0HSYICrPnF834mH43zl6_Q09lCUCs/edit?usp=sharing.

    I am passionate about my topic because many people do not know how to do easy work and i think it should be an everyday thing.

2/18/20 Walk This Way - Position vs. Time Graphs

This week we have been working on finishing up our battery-powered vehicle experiment reports.  We also have been making position vs. time graphs from word descriptions and vice versa.   Today, we used a motion detector to create a position vs. time graph of our own motion.

1/13/20 Capstone Experiment and Types of Matter

Today we considered the following question as we finalized our capstone experiment design:  “What would someone have to do prove my hypothesis?” We also completed a debate as to whether apple juice and Gatorade our pure substances using kialo-edu.com .  The class concluded that neither are pure substances because they are both made of multiple substances.

"When a student first approaches a problem, success hinges on his/her ability to maintain an awareness of what decisions he/she is making and why he/she is making them." Sam Rhodes Here is the problem we tackled today: A student leaves the PAC at position -15.2m at 8:27 AM. She enters Senora Olsen's classroom at 8:31 AM at position 32.0 m.  What was her average velocity? UNDERSTAND - Draw a diagram. PLAN - Use an equation (v=change in position/time) or graph (position vs. time). SOLVE - 11.8 m/min REFLECT - Graphs can also be used to solve problems.  Record equations before inserting numbers.  Include units with all numbers.
