A-Week+5

MOE Plan for Week of January 30 - February 3 (Week 5)
This week we'll begin our Introduction to Technology classes by: * Learning how the elasticity of materials effects their performance in compression and tension. * Learning how the direction of the grain in wood effects their performance in compression and tension. * Identifying the triangular shapes in a truss bridge. * Observing how the removal of key pieces of a truss effects structural integrity. * Learning how to safely use the drill press and a jig to make holes for our bridge pin joints. * Learning how to use a graphic organizer to plan and produce better written work.
 * Building truss bridges of various lengths effects loading limits.

The longer the span, the more elastic the material becomes. || Day 13 The orientation of the grain to the applied forces effects the performance limits. || Day 14 Triangles are strong structures that redistribute loads by changing the direction of the forces applied. || Day 15 As the span length increases, the load limit decreases. || Day 16 All parts of a triangle truss are essential, removal of any one piece will destablize the bridge to failure under loading. || "Begin With the End in Mind" ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||^   || We'll learn to use a spreadheet for data recording, interpretation, and math operations. || We'll practice using the correct fingers for the RTYU keys.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">OBJECTIVE || <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We'll learn that all materials have a modulus of elasticity that makes them deform when forces are applied. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We'll learn the index finger reaches upward to hit the RTYU keys.
