We continue working on the train project this week. If you are caught up, you are free to help others by sharing your knowledge with them. You should already have completed the engine body, and we will work on the revolve parts this week. By the end of the week, you should have completed:
- Engine Body
- Smokestack
- Hitch Peg
- Axle Peg
- Hitch Magnet
- Linkage
- Cow Catcher
Also, make sure that you review your designs to ensure that they are correct. All of the arcs on the pegs should be centered on the axis of rotation. All points should be located in 2 dimensions (constrained). Note that, with the more complex shapes, the focus would be on locating the endpoints of the lines (and sometimes the arcs) and locating the centers of circles and arcs.
Agendas for this week:
Monday: (continue from Friday March 13) Finish Apollo 13 & continue train
Tuesday: Continue Train - smokestack and hitch peg
Thursday: Continue Train - axle peg, magnet, and linkage
This Week at RRHS
Report cards were given out during 2nd period right before spring break. Note that this week actually has 7 weeks in it, so we still have 3 weeks before the end of the grading period, which will be April 10.
As far as this week goes, Wednesday is scheduled as a pep rally schedule. It was originally scheduled for our ice day and has been rescheduled. On pep rally schedule, the 5th and 6rh periods are shortened by 10 minutes or so, and 8th period will be dismissed early so that students can attend the pep rally that begins at 3:30. Thursday is also a faculty meeting. The day's schedule will be normal, but all teachers will be in the meeting, so no tutorials are available for Thursday morning.
College Visits This Week:
Thursday will be a busy day this week as Bradley University, Texas State University, and the University of Arkansas will all be on campus to visit with students interested in attending those universities. Get with your counselor to make an appointment if you want to learn more about one of these universities.
