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 grade - Full Scale drawings have begun.

 The 6th grade students in Mr. Falcon's class have begun learning how to create a full scale drawing. 

Make sure to bring pencils and erasers in order to be prepared. All other tools will be provided.

6th Grade - Learning how to measure in Inches and full Scale Drawings have begun.

 To 6th graders in the following sections - 

We have begun to learn how to measure in inches. Following that first step, we will move onto creating full scale drawings. 

 

Make sure to bring pencils and erasers in order to be prepared. 

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. 

7th Grade - Incredible result for the Design Process.

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

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. 

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. 

6th Grade - Full Scale Drawings have begun.

 To all 6th grade students in sections 11 through 14

Any student who believes they need extra help or more time to complete the drawings are strongly encouraged to sign up for a Win period to obtain the help they need ASAP. 

6th Grade - Learning how to measure in Inches

 

Students will learn how to measure down to a 1/16" accuracy. Which will then get them started on the next project covering Full Scale Drawings. 

Bridge Building and Woodshop Manufacturing

 Students getting some time away from their chrome books and using their hands for something other than typing.

Woodshop and Bridge Building projects.

6th Grade towers under construction

 

As you can see from the picture, many 6th grade students are now building the towers they have designed. Once completed testing will begin. Stay tuned.  

Grade 7 - Design Process Results

To all 7th graders in Sections 1,2,3,4:

Testing is going well with the Stage Project. Here are some of the stages that have already been tested.

Any student who is behind schedule must sign up for Raider Time in order for them to finish with enough time left in the quarter to work on the CO2 cars.

Grade 7 - Finishing up their C02 dragsters

To all EVEN cycle 7th graders.

The final push to finish the CO2 dragsters is on. Many students were working none stop to design, sand, clean, paint and finally put the hardware on and do their rolling test. Here are some pictures showing just some of the students hard at work.

If you are one of the many 7th graders who have finished your car be sure to pick it up prior to the start of summer break. 

Grade 7 - Design Process Testing Results

To all EVEN section 7th grade students:

Testing is underway. We've seen many different design ideas leading to many students being amazed at their excellent results. Below are some of the student's ideas so far.

Grade 6 - Full Scale Drawings

To All Even section students

All 6th graders should now be working towards finishing their 3 full scale drawings.

Please keep in mind that all drawings need to be completed before the end of the term. If you have any questions, concerns or would like additional time and/or help, be sure to see your teacher during the Computer Lab to get all the help you are asking for.
