Period 5 - POE - Mr. Kramer Assignments

Choosing from Level 3 of one of the following...
Dynamic Wall Maze
Robot Dance Party
Tracing Triangles
Coral Reef Clean-up


...work with your partner(s) to create a set of code to accomplish the task described in the description.


Please only turn in ONE version of the code, by ONE person, but be sure to use the gray boxes or message in the assignment who your partner was.


Please also remember that this is a COLLABORATION assignment, meaning that there needs to be clear evidence that all of the people in the group had a stake in the creation of the work.

As you did before with Level 1, you goal it to collect as much trash as you can, within the constraints of your battery life (time limit).  Now, you will be collaborating with a partner(s) to combine your ideas to create a set of code that accomplishes this goal of collecting trash, but not, using MORE sensors then you did with Level 1. 


Within your code, please place "comment" blocks with the authors name, below the section of code that that person is responsible for.  It should be about 50/50 split in the amount contributed to the final code.


Have fun!

Complete Level one of this challenge, in the most efficient and effective manner possible.  This is in preparation of the next two parts.

You know the drill....

You know the drill.  Create a document where you can upload any answers that you are asked to share with me.

Using the linked instructions for the three different activities, complete the tasks (Level1, 2, and 3) in Vex VR.  After each level is completed click on the "share" button in the upper right corner of the project screen.  This will create a PDF file that you will save to your device.  Name it with your first initial, last name, underscore, challenge name, underscore, level number (i.e., "ckramer_distancedrive_1").  Upload these files to the assignment.  There should be three files uploaded.

Work through the tutorial on Inputs & Outputs.  Any time there is an opportunity to "submit your work to the instructor", add it to a document that you need to create (Google Doc), then submit it here.  This is including the conclusion questions.

Research the manufacturing process for ONE component of ONE of your products from 2.2.1. The essential question is basically, "How does that (insert component) go from raw material to the finished product of that component?" In other words, what is the process? Create a digital document (Google Slide, PowerPoint, Prezi, digital flyer, etc.) showing the process(s) that it took to create your component, from start to finish. Answer the conclusion questions as a separate document and upload that also.

Starting from #8 in the investigation, complete all work (descriptions, drawings, data collection, conclusion questions) in a document or image and turn in. Any questions, please ask.

After deciding on two products you want to analyze, either physically (safely) or virtually disassemble your products into its component parts. Create a labeled diagram of your "exploded product" (see the image for #8 in the activity, DL 2.2.1 for an example). Submit either your picture or file to the assignment. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Complete the steps (1-5) in the Product Analysis activity in the PLTW LMS. Submit your documents and/or images to this assignments as proof of completion.

Submit your answers in the Google Form (shared during class), but I need to see your work. Please take pictures (CLEAR) of your work on paper, then submit here.

Please complete section 2.1.8, from #11 on, including the conclusion questions.

Please complete the efficiency calculations and the "hand solving" of truss #1 for todays work in 2.1.8.

Complete steps 1-8, creating a document (or picture of your paper) showing all answers to "identify", "show", "explain", etc, on our document or paper.

Please take a picture of SOME of your work, along with the solutions for the reaction forces at joints D and E. Also include the solutions for the forces on the individual members (there are 7 of them).

Please answer the "metacognitive" piece and the two conclusion questions by submitting a Google Doc here. Please be thorough in your answers. Meaning, more than a few sentences are appropriate for these types of questions.

We will work on the first one (Truss Moments) in class. The second attachment, is to be done, and submitted by Thursday

Complete the activity at home (physically do it and collect the data/answers), create a document with your answers, and submit here for credit.

Finish reading (taking?) notes from 2.1.4 (attached) and complete problems 9 and 10 from the "Activity 2.1.4" in the PLTW website.

Please complete problem #4 and the two conclusion questions. Note: This can be found in the LMS under "Unit 2 - Statics", "Activity 2.1.3"

Use the attached drawing to guide you to finding the x and y components to the centroid to this compound shape. Create your own data table, like the one we used in class to show your values. Also, provide the written form of your work to show that you worked the problem, please.

After being assigned an energy source, and watching the virtual tour, design a simple black box model (see PLTW assignment) and more complicated systems model with your group mates. Use the attached Google Slides document as your shared work space for collaboration.

Choose one of the three machines that are demonstrated in the LMS for 1.1.6.
Create a GOOD sketch for EACH individual machine that makes up the bigger machine, that you can identify.
Determine the IMA for EACH individual machine. (remember to use distance estimates, since you can't physically measure the De and Dr
Calculate the overall IMA, and any gear ratios for the compound machine
Complete the questions as stated in the assignment.
Attach your work to this assignment as an image (or more if you need to)

Using the PLTW website, complete the DL 1.1.3 activity. Take a picture of your work and submit it here.

Please complete the investigation for Inclined Plane and Screws (DL 1.1.1)

Use the links below to compete the quizzes on Levers, Wheel/Axle's, and pulleys.

Use the PLTW website to access the "Unit 1 Distance Learning" activity 1.1.1. Complete the work on an e-document, or hand written, and submit your work to get credit. If you have any questions, please, don't hesitate.

Use the link below to access the lever practice problems. I have provided links to different ways to access this document, and you also have access to the problems in the PLTW site (1.1.2). Be aware, you are only working on the lever problems, don't go any further than that.

Per the instructions on the attached document, design and create a "data table" to track your identity as a learner over time. This can be done electronically, by hand drawing, by using a charting software (any you can find), and must be "turn-in-able." Please submit it (upload file or picture) to the assignment, so that I can see your work. If you have questions, let me know. See you Monday!

Please open the PDF attached, and complete the work on PAGE 1 ONLY. Create a document that will be submitted when you are turning in this assignment, and create the answer table ("Kick it Off") to be filled in by yourself, and a place to reflect on the questions in the middle of page one. For the "Just What Is Metacognition?" section, complete the reading, off of the Doc attached, thru the section titled "Becoming a Metacognitive Learner. Again, just turn in your document where you were doing the reflections from the top of page one of the PDF. If you have any questions, be sure to ask BEFORE it is due.

Hello and welcome to the 2020/21 school year! Please take a few minutes in the next few days to complete the survey below. Let me know if yo have any issues with it, via email. I look forward to meeting all of you!
