Tonight, please complete the reading and questions titled “Gravity and the Solar System”.

Tonight’s homework is a 1/2 -1 page evaluation of the bridge project. Details will be gone over in class. Some ideas include: how effective your design was (after testing),  how well your skills and those of your partner matched up (if you had a partner) and how well the measuring, cutting and hot gluing went while building the bridge. Was this a positive experience for you? Or stressful? (explain)  Add in anything else you think is important. Remember, this is a writing assignment which just happens to focus on science. Make sure you proofread your work and look at grammar and punctuation. Correct any mistakes. This can be done on googledocs. Assignment name: Bridge Evaluation

The building of bridges is over, and testing is underway. After the long weekend, astronomy begins with a look at the phenomena created by the sun-Earth-moon system. Look for homework!

Bridge report: read and complete revision and editing questions that follow.

Students are nearing the end of a very busy week designing their bridges for competition, moving ideas onto drafting paper and estimating the amount of balsa wood needed to build their bridges. Projects are due next Friday. Homework will be minimal until then.
