APPLIED TECHNOLOGY-LAKEVIEW JR. HIGH
6th Grade: The rockets were due last week. Students took them home and painted them for extra credit. Hopefully the kids were the one's that did the work (under parent supervision).
The rockets have been graded and students will be "fixing" any problems with them Monday and Tuesday. Some of the problems are: parachutes not packed correctly, nose-cones too tight (because of the spray paint leaking inside the body tube), launch lugs (straw looking thing on the side) lining up with the fins......
All of these items are safety issues when we go outside and launch them.
We will launch the rockets third trimester near the end of the year since the weather this time of year isn't too good.
7th and 8th Grade: These students are on their third module and should finish some time next week.
Remember all work can be "Made Up" without penalty if the student comes to open labs. Times are listed on the sheet that was sent home at the beginning of the trimester.
