Mr. Jean

February 26th, 2014

The plan:

• Video of the day

• Quiz #1 Outline

• Final Project details

• Final Project examples

Quiz outline: 1. Scientific Notation

• Will be built into questions

2. Projectiles• Level & not level projectiles

3. Uniform Circular Motion• Horizontal circles• Vertical circles• Conical Pendulums• Banked Turns without Friction

Quiz Format:

• 1) True & False– Typically off videos shown in class

• 2) Multiple Choice– Combination of videos shown in class and

theory

• 3) Short Answer– Situational problems and applying theory

Quiz Date:

• March 5th, 2014

• Other details: – Formula sheet– Calculator– Pencil & Eraser

The Final Project:

• A Rube Goldberg machine is your final project for physics 12.

• It’s due date for this class is April 28th, 2014.

• This project will have a value of 10% towards your final grade.

Rube Goldberg Examples:

• Here are a few professionally designed RGB projects.

– This too shall pass.

Real life RGB:

• 45 seconds of constant motion

• No cuts to video.

• No “time wasters”… – You’ll know what I mean.

Rube Goldberg Options:

• Examples of Real Life RGB projects– Paul, Kevin, Tom & Brandon

Digital World RGB:

• You can use any program to create a digital world ranging from “Phun”, “Algodoo”, Halo, Little Big planet, Linerider, Portal, etc….

• Constant motion must continue for 2 minutes if you choose the digital format. – No cuts to video.– No “time wasters”… – Must be creative

Digital RGB Projects:

• Grady’s

Rube Goldberg:

RGB - Project

• More details: About the groups– Soft cap of groups with 4 students.

• For every group member above 4, you need to add 15 seconds to the project if real life or 30 seconds if digital.

– No more than 6 students will be in one group. This is the absolute max

RGB - Project

• More details: Planning time– Three classes of planning will be given.

• Today is one of them.

Suggested schedule:

• By mid-March have all of the machines and layout planned

• By late-March test these different machines individually to make sure they function like you expect.

• By early April have a weekend in mind to put everything together.

• By mid April have the video and project complete
