Enrichment class
STAY ON TARGET! STAY ON TARGET!
Listed below is just SOME of the stuff we will be doing in the class. It is a REVIEW / Prep class for the PSSA test.
YOU will be doing MATH skills and STEM skills in this class. Google classroom is NEEDED:
Here is the list:
•Introduction to the space program:
•Research on Wernher Von Braun
•We will be watching the (PG-13) Movie "October Sky" in class and answer questions on it
•You will construct a paper satellite designed by NASA called the Contour Satellite.
•You will design a Paper Airplanes to pass a distance of 8meters and test flying. Then complete a Lab report including formula work.
•We will be watching the (PG-13) movie: "Apollo 13“ and answer questions on it.
•You will design Paper Rockets and test fly them for height and distance. Then complete a Lab report including formula work.
•If time allows, you will do a heavy rocket lift test.
•Finally you till design and test a 2 liter bottle of soda for final launch & Flight. GO or NO GO for LIFT OFF to space!!!!
1st activity understanding who lead the program
Introduction
In this activity, you will invistagate Von Baun and his contributation to US SPACE PROGRAM and NASA.
Procedure
There are 3 articles. Please read each article.
next go to GOOGLE CLASSROOM and answer the questions relateted to the articles
Submit your answers for a grade
2nd activity Introduction to launching a Satellite
In this activity, you will use a model to learn how objects are launched into space
Procedure
Below is a picture of the starting screen of a model of Newton's Cannon.
To run the model, press the Turn On button and leave it on; it will turn black when it is on. Then press the Launch button. If the satellite crashes, you will see an explosion and a pile of debris to mark the crash site.
-
Leave the “turn on” button on (black) to run the model.
-
The chart records the settings and how far the satellite went before crashing.
-
“Erase dots” cleans up earlier runs.
-
The slider labeled MainScale changes the scale of the Earth. If the satellite goes off the screen, reduce the scale until you can see it.
-
The Model Speed slider makes the model run faster or slower. You can speed it up if you get tired of waiting!
-
The atmosphere, though visible in the model to give a sense of scale, has no effect on the satellite.

2nd activity Build a Contour Satellite
Introduction
In this activity, you will use a model to learn how objects are launched into space.
Is it possible to put an unpowered object into orbit?
