Welcome to STEM Aeronautics

Camp

July 22 - 26, 2013

What does aeronautics mean?

aeronautics |ˌe(ə)rəˈnôtiks|

plural noun the science or practice of travel through the air.

GREETING

Introduce yourself to the group by saying your name, what school you are coming from while animating something that flies.

Ex: Hi, I’m Mrs. Kibbe. I come from STEM and I’m a hummingbird!

Reading: Impressions of a Pilot, by Gary Claud Stokor

Flight is freedom in its purest form,To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;

To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,To feel the joy that swells within;

To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;

Then back to earth at the end of a day,Released from the tensions which melted away.

Should my end come while I am in flight,Whether brightest day or darkest night;

Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;

For each of us is created to die,And within me I know,I was born to fly.

Flying Music

Today’s song is: “FLY,” redo of Nicki Minaj by Kidz Bop

Learning Targets for Camp

I can explain the Principles of Flight. I can demonstrate the Principles of

Flight by constructing a glider. I can use the Engineering Design

Process to complete a variety of aeronautic products.

I can reflect on my aeronautic camp experience each day in my journal.

I can work collaboratively with others.

Habits of Scholarship

Ambassadors present the HOS poster

Which Habits do you think we will work on the most during camp?

Learning Target TrackerI have

exceeded the

target.

       

I have met the target.

       

I am more than

halfway to

meeting the

target.

       

I am at the

beginning stages of this work.

       

Short-term

Target

I can explain the Principles of Flight.

I can use the Engineering Design Process to complete a variety of aeronautic challenges.

I can reflect on my Aeronautic Camp experience in my journal each day.

I can work collaboratively.

Bernoulli’s Principle – As the speed of air increases, air pressure decreases. Take journals to centers to

complete the activities – 5 minutes at each center.

Complete a journal entry for each center – draw, label and explain what you discovered.

Stay at the center until time is called.

Review the Challenge

RISKING FAILURE TO BE SUCCESSFUL CHASE THE PROBLEM TO MEET THE CHALLENGE TO FLY THE DREAM

Here’s the ChallengeProduce a design that incorporates a shoebox as part of your glider. Additionally, your Shoebox Glider will have to meet the criteria and constraints partially listed below.

Your Challenge is open-ended and involves a variety of collaborative and creative problem solving efforts!

Accomplish the following tasks:

1. Research the dynamics of flight and apply them to your efforts.

2. Determine and gather the materials you will need for your glider.

3. Determine how to launch the shoebox glider in a consistent way.

4. Obtain the most efficient glide slope ratio possible.

5. Demonstrate your understanding and success to NASA.

Criteria ConstraintsStandards or requirements the device must include.

Things that limit the design.

The glider must move forward at least 3 meters.

The glider must demonstrate an efficient positive glide slope ratio.

The glider must not break upon landing.

The glider’s slope and aspect ratios must be determined.

Teams will prepare a final presentation of results and understanding.

The glider must include an intact shoebox in its design.

There are NO materials constraints.

There will be working, research, testing time limits.

Final presentations will have time limit (approx. 3 minutes).

Lunch and R&R (Relax and Read)

Return all materials to proper location.

Enjoy lunch and clean up. Recess 15 minute R&R.

What makes a good partner?

In your journal make a list of the qualities you would like in your partner(s).

Qualities of a good partner

AttendanceListens_____________________

Walk and Talk

1. Take your Good Partner List on a walk.

2. When the leader calls “STOP AND SHARE,” you share your list with the person closest to you.

3. They share their list with you.4. Repeat 2 more times when

directed.

Reflection

Whip share something you learned today about aeronautics.

In your journal, write in complete sentences one thing you liked about today - 2 minutes.

Exchange journals, respond to what was written - 2 minutes.

Tuesday

Dramatization on attendance.

Bring R&R book. Think about who you would

like to partner with. Does that person have the qualities you are looking for in a partner?
