6.1.2 Conductivity

For today's lesson:
Step 1) Watch the video below on how to use a multi-meter.

Step 2) Open up the worksheet -  6.1.2 Conductivity and make a copy into your GTT Turn in folder.

Step 3) Use one of the two methods shown in the video to measure continuity of different materials to determine if they conduct or not, as described in the worksheet.

7th Grade SDSU day

Today, I need your help while I am gone.  I have decided to delay the Conductivity Lab until tomorrow.  This is going to seem strange, but I need you to help me not find the answers to the questions, but which videos have the answers to the questions. 

For the past several years, students have been asked to watch really OLD video clips to answer the questions for 6.1.7 Electricity: River of Energy I am wondering if you can find the same information using Tim and Moby's videos at Brain Pop.

Please open the 6.1.7 doc and make a copy into your GTT Turn in folder. Instead of answering the questions I would like you to watch the videos listed below and if an answer is given in a video, type that video's title as the answer.  If a question is not answered in any of the videos listed, please use the search tool to find other videos than the ones listed.  If you still cannot find the answer in a video, please type "answer not found" as the answer to the question. 

To get to Brain Pop, please go to www.brainpop.com and login using the username deportola and the password is thanksasb.  Then do a search for each title you are looking for:

Thank you - your efforts will be rewarded.

6.1.1 Atomic Structure and Electricity

For today's lesson:
Step 1) Watch the video below and take notes on atomic structure and electricity.  These notes may be used throughout this section to help with daily assignments

Step 2) Open up the worksheet - 6.1.1 Atomic Structure and Electricity and make a copy into your GTT Turn in folder.

Step 3) For Question 1 when asked to Draw an Atom, put your cursor right after the question. You will then need to select "insert" from the tabs along the top and then "drawing" from the drop down menu. When done with your drawing, click on "save and close" and it will add the drawing to your worksheet.

Step 4) Continue to answer questions using your notes until you are done.

Step 5) Submit your completed worksheet into Canvas for grading

Mother's Day Project

Mother's Day is Sunday May 10th in the U.S. and Monday May 11th in Latin American countries.  If you finish up all other work for my class and would like to do something nice for your mom, moms, or mothering people in your life, please try the following project: 

YOUR REGULAR CLASSWORK MUST BE FINISHED FIRST

Step 1) Open Inventor and create a new part

Step 2) While that is opening, go online and find an image of a “Coloring Book Heart” use the snipping tool to save it somewhere that you will remember for use in a few steps.

Step 3) Once your part opens, create a 2d Sketch in the XY plane.
a) Use the Text tool to type your mother’s name.You will want to use a script font 1” high - Script MT Bold is one of the favorites.
b) If the first letter is not attached create two separate images, one with the the first letter, one with the rest of the name.
c) Act like you are going to draw a rectangle around your mom’s name, but just to get the length of the name, then hit Escape.
d) Finish that sketch

Step 4) Extrude each part of your mom’s name the length you found in Step 3c.

Step 5) Inside the Browser, click the little plus sign to the left of Origin to open up your planes.  Create a work plane inside the XZ plane offset by -1”.

Step 6)  Right click on the words Work Plane and select New Sketch
a) Using the Rectangle tool, draw a square around the entire work plane
b) Using the Image tool, bring in the heart shape you saved in Step 2
c) Resize the heart shape and get it positioned so that it covers all your mom’s name, but stays inside the square you drew in Step 6a.
d) Using Arc and Line tools, trace around the outside of the heart making sure all connecting points are green dots before you move on to the next one.  Any glitches here will prevent your extrusion in the next step and will lead to a lot more work on your part.
e) Make a triangle shape at the bottom to form a base / stand for the heart.
f) Finish the sketch

Step 7) Use Extrude “Cut” to remove all of the material outside of the heart shape.

At this point if the extrusion does not work cleanly, you will need to go back into the sketch from step 6 and edit the sketch so that it will cut correctly.

Step 8) Optional - Create a Work Plane on the side of the shape and give it a teardrop shape

Step 9) Export > CAD Format > change the .DWG to be .STL and save it into your documents

Step 10) Drag that blank white .STL file to a flash drive and eject the flash drive before giving it to your teacher.

Save the Planet Project

Always remember:
1. Clear your Canvas the first day a new project is assigned.
2. Fill in your time card with what you are working on each day because by Friday you might not remember. Be honest with the score you give yourself; off task behavior that you do not record will affect both your academic and citizenship grades.

Over the next 3 weeks, you will be working on one of several projects as part of a whole - SAVE THE PLANET PROJECT - You will be graded for your own efforts but will be allowed to work with others to brainstorm and come up with overall ideas.  EACH STUDENT MUST SHOW THEIR OWN EFFORTS. 

Mrs. Liebke (Our school's VP) has asked us to come up with several ways to encourage students to reduce the amount of waste, reuse as much as we can of what is already here, recycle everything we can and make sure that when we must throw something away that it makes it all the way into its proper place.  
       Working with your table mates or elbow partners, each group must come up with 3 solutions that meet at least one of the four situations listed above (reduce, reuse, recycle or put trash in its place).  You will then prototype your solutions using the tools and techniques you were to have learned so far this year.  

Scoring Rubric
Design Brief

One of the ways to help reduce the amount of waste being brought onto campus that Mr. Johnson came up with is for students to put their names on their water bottles.  You will be asked, when you are ready to create two sets of stickers for yourself of for a friend / family member to show that you know how to use the vinyl cutter.  You will then show the next person how to make stickers of their own (teach it forward).

Vinyl Cutter - 2 sets of water bottle labels
Step by step checklist - please read before going to the cutter

This first video should be followed on your own computer
