Week of March 9

This Week in IED
The end of last week messed up the schedule just a little bit.  We will now do the Design Brief activity, using the Apollo 13 movie as a case study on Monday & Tuesday and then begin the train project.  Before and after spring break, students will create an Inventor model of an old-fashioned train engine.  Those models that are fully constrained and meet the design criteria can be printed on the 3d printer, so you will have a physical model of your work on this project.


Agendas:
Monday-Tuesday: Apollo 13 Design Brief
Wednesday-Thursday: Train Project
Friday - Monday: Train Project Continued

This Week at RRHS
I probably don't have to tell you that this is the last week before spring break!  Let's work hard and stay on top of things so that we can all enjoy a much-needed week off.  I hope that you all have fun plans for your break.

Being the 4th week of the six weeks, Interim Progress Reports will be distributed this Friday, just before the break.  Look for those to come home so that you can be aware of any issues that need to be addressed once you come back.  After the break, we will still have 3 more weeks because this six weeks actually is seven weeks long.  The end of the reporting period is April 10.

Thursday will be a late start for students as teachers will be in a department meeting.  There will be no tutorials Thursday morning, and 5th period will begin at 9:25.
