Lessons for Monday October 28, 2013

Good morning:

Please find your class below and read your instructions for today's work:

 

Period 1 and 3:

Civil Engineering and Architecture:

Continue to work on your Architecture model projects. Here are some suggestions on what you can do:

 

1.    Sketch out what each wall of your model will look like and give it dimensions.

2.    Make a schedule of work.

a.    How long will it take to cut out your walls from cardboard or foam core?

b.    How long will it take to glue your pieces together?

3.    Create more sketches of your design. Think about the different sides of your project. What will it look like from the back or from the left or right side?

4.    Please be ready on Tuesday to show me what you accomplished

5.    Good Luck!!

Period 2:

Principles of Engineering:

Please go to Khan Academy and view the following video’s on Mechanical advantage:

Mechanical advantage Part 1

Mechanical advantage Part2

Mechanical advantage Part 3

Here is the link:

Please go over the work that we did on Friday. Tomorrow there will be a Test on calculating the MA of Gears, Levers, and Pulley’s. Here are some suggestions on what you can do:

1.    Search Mechanical advantage lessons on the web. See if you can find another site besides Khan that can teach you about mechanical advantage. Write down the site and I will give you extra credit on the test if you list this site on the exam tomorrow

2.    Type in “Mechanical advantage of gears” problems in a search engine. Are there examples that you can practice for? Try the MA of Pulleys and the MA of levers. What did you find

Good Luck!!!
