7th Grade - Let's go CO2 car Racing!!

 An incredible amount of time and effort went into this project and the picture below shows the great results. 

The best part.......that's not even all of them. 

7th Grade Design Process CO2 project will be racing in two weeks

 

To 7th graders

Great job to all students who are creating their CO2 car. Using the design process the students have created a variety of ideas. In the picture below you can see (front) completed cars, cars being assembled, car that have been primed but need final painting and assembly.  Then there is the large group of car bodies needing priming, painting and final assembly.  No matter what, the students are doing a great job and I can't wait to see how fast their designs will go. 

Good Luck to all designers. 

6th Graders have begun learning how to program

 6th graders have begun learning how to program using Tynker. Each chapter provides instruction for the students to learn new ideas and concepts. At the end of each chapter the student will be quizzed. 

Good learning to all. Enjoy. 

8th Grade - Congrats to the Robotic Olympics Winners

 To the 8th Graders

Congrats to the medals winners: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. 

Gold Winners

Silver Winners

Bronze Winner

7th Grade Design Process CO2 project update

To 7th graders

Great job on the CO2 Dragster design process. Below shows the variety of ideas created by the students. 

Racing went very well this week at speeds in the 30mph range were obtained. 

Great Job everyone!!

7th Grade - Tower Project building is underway.

 The 7th graders are now focused on building their towers. The picture below shows the progress so far. 

 It should be noted, the picture only shows the top layer of builds, under most platforms will be another built tower side. 

7th Grade - The Design Process project has Started

 To 7th Grade

Learning about the Design Process project has begun. Students will research, design, build and test a Balsa wood tower. To see just one of the many ideas check out the video. 

Good Luck to all our Designers. 

8th Grade - Congratulations to the Robotics Sumo Competition

 Congratulation to Team...

RICE and BEANS

The winner from the first half of the year had to wait until the second half determined their winner. Then it was the best of 5 matches to determine the overall winner. Which they did in 2 straight wins, lost one and then another win to end 3-1.

Congrats!!!! Job Well Done. 

8th Grade - Sumo Competition will occur next week.

 To all 8th Grade students

As you can see from the pictures showing only some of the qualified robots, teams are ready for next weeks Sumo Competition. Good Luck to all. 

7th Grade - Incredible result for the Design Process.

 The stage went on to hold 189lbs before collapsing. Excellent result!!! Great Job!!!

6th grade - Learning how to program using Tynker has begun.

 

To all 6th graders in sections 6-15 through 6-18

In the next few classes we will be getting all the students logged into their accounts and start the process of learning Computer Science. Or as some would say, learning how to program. 

Good learning and have some fun.

7th Grade - More pictures of the Design Process Stages

More pictures of student designs for your review: 

As we collect more photos we'll be sure to update this website to highlight the student work. 

7th Grade - The first set of Stages created for Testing

 The 7th Graders are working hard at their Design Process Stages. Here are just a few of the stages presented for testing. 

Stay tuned. As we collect the photos taken so far, we'll add another post showing the student's designs. 

6th Grade - Introduction to Programming with Tynker

 

To all 6th graders in sections 11-14  

Be sure to make use of Tynker.com to help learn the basics of programming. We are quickly approaching Thanksgiving so make good use of your time. Also keep in mind we will only have a limited time after we return from Christmas Break so use your time wisely and get help when you need it. 

7th Grade - Initial Design Process Stage results

To 7th Graders 

The Design Process Stage project is underway. Below are some of the first stages built by students who completed their stage and were tested. Which ones do you think were a success?

 

7th Grade - Let's Go CO2 car racing!

To 7th grade students in sections 7-11,7-12,7-13,7-14

It's time to go racing!!!!

The first wave of CO2 cars have been completed and are ready for racing. The dragster course has been set up and was tested. This means next week we will be racing to see who's design is the fastest. 

Good Luck to all racers!!!

7th Grade - The CO2 dragster project has begun

7th Grade - Co2 Dragster Project has begun.

 To all 7th grade students in 7-11 to 7-14 the Dragster project begun. Be sure to use the Design Process steps you learned in the previous project to create your personalized car. 

Racing will occur in Mid January so lets get designing, building and testing. 

7th Grade - Design Process - Stage project

 The Design process project is underway. Students will following the design process to help them research, design and build their "stage". Unique ideas are always encouraged. Good Luck and Good Design to all. Below are two designs that took a different approach then many others. 

Remember, your design can end up being quite impressive.  

8th grade - Introduction to Robotics

 8th grade - Introduction to Robotics

The first class of 8th Grade student have completed the Binary worksheets and are now working on Robotics Projects. The remaining 8th grade classes will be finishing very soon and will also be moving onto Robotics

The students will first build their starting robot then start in on the "Driving Test" by completing all four objectives. 

1. 5-3-4

2. Parallel Parking

3. Block Push (Called the O'Brian)

4. Slalom Course 

If any student(s) has not completed their project(s) please see Mr. Falcon to obtain any extra help they may request and/or to make up any work.
