Today's Quote:
'Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.'
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Recap:
6th graders Finished the video on mountain building and we learned some cool things such as how continents like North America accreted over time. Students learned that mountains occur near the coastal regions of continents because this is where convergent boundaries are present and that most continents have flat Craytons in their centers that are stable and relatively old. (in the case of North America, it is 2 billion years old and scientists can track the ages of rocks to see what areas are the youngest.
7th grade didn't get very far in our notes because there were SO MANY QUESTIONS! That's ok, though, we'll get through it. We will continue the discussion and notes today with the goal of beginning the frog dissection on Thursday and Friday
8th graders Were given a free fall problem for homework that we will work through today. We also had a brief discussion on the 4 types of friction and force.
NOTE: egg landers final drop will be postponed until next Tuesday so every student can participate, including those who are on the Washington Trip this week.
Brain Bender:
Often talked of, never seen.
Ever coming, never been.
Daily looked for, never here.
Still approaching, coming near.
Thousands for it's vist wait
But alas, for their fate.
Tho'they expect me to appear,
They will never find me here.

Egg Lander Pricing list: As we discussed in class, businesses must balance their choice in production materials with the goal of making a profit. Everyone wants to use the BEST materials, but everyone ALSO wants to make a profit. What happens is, you have to make trade-offs. Choosing alternative materials allows you to ensure quality and safety while still maintaining a healthy profit margin. This is a RISK you take in business. We are going to apply an element of this risk to your egg landers.
The fine print:
- You may work individually or as partners.
- You must form a corporate name.
- You will purchase ALL materials for your egg lander vehicle. (I may have some of them in the class, but I cannot supply everyone, everything) I will supply one "eggstronaut" to each individual or partner group.
- You must use the following "risk" points guide when purchasing materials:
- If you manage to successfully land your vehicle with your eggstronaut intact and within the target zone, you will get all of your RISK grade points back.
- As payment, you will also receive one "get out of test free" card, usable on any regular class test or quiz.
- The landing zone: you must land within the target zone. Two grade points will be subtracted from your overall total for every .5 meters outside the target zone. In the real world, precision and accuracy are extremely important and costly in both time and money if they are not part of the constraints of any project.

Parachute Egg Lander Goals:
- Be able to understand Newton's Law of Gravitation and how to apply it.
- Know Newton's three laws and how they apply to everyday life.
- Be able to describe the motion of a two and three-dimensional object
- Show proficiency in designing and building a device capable of landing an egg safely on the ground and calculate how much force it would experience if dropped on Mars.

Earth’s Structure and Changes Over Time
Unit Essential Question: How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
Key Learning Statement: The shape of the land changes over time through two major processes, both natural and manmade. Natural changes occur through weathering, erosion, and deposition which are agents of the rock cycle. Manmade changes occur through deforestation, urbanization, desertification, air, land, water quality, and change in flow and pollution of water.
