THURSDAY 09/28/23
Goal for TODAY: Accurately measure pathways for programming. Program PR Move 64
We do not have the benefit of Port View the same way we had it with EV3's, therefore, we will be needing to measure distances with tape measures. However, Spike Primes do have a "cm" unit that you can use with the standard wheels
P_R_ Moves 64

WEDNESDAY 09/27/23
Goal for TODAY: Read at least two articles posted by your teammates. Post thoughtful questions for each article.
Students will open the spreadsheet and spend 20 minutes reading at least two articles they have not yet read that have been supplied by their classmates. For each article, students will write at least three thoughtful questions that they feel would need to be answered in order to move forward with the information in the articles. These questions will be placed in the "Questions" column next to each article in the spreadsheet using the following format: Suzanne: It says that bitumen clay is used to plug caverns where radioactive waste is stored - why does clay work to block radiation? - what other materials would also work?
1. Open spreadsheet and find articles that your teammates have posted.
2. Choose two to read.
3. As you read, think of what questions would need to be answered in order to make use of this information to ultimately find a solution to the problem.
4. In the column to the right of the article, type your name and then type your questions.

Design a wedge shaped attachment to push on Mission 2
TUESDAY 09/19/23

Today we will review project logs. Make sure that your goals are SMART goals and that your daily entries are SPECIFIC and MEASURABLE - as in, I can tell HOW YOU SPENT YOUR TIME and WHAT YOU GOT DONE that day.
Avoid:
"worked on"
"started on"
"got some done.", etc.
Avoid:
"researched" without telling what you found or at least the subtopic or information you were seeking.
FRIDAY 09/15/23
Goal for TODAY: Complete both Spike Prime EdPuzzles with score of 100%, complete challenge board.
If you get 100% on your first attempt, you will get 100% for your score.
If you get 100% on your second attempt, you get 85% (B), third attempt 75% (C) and so on.
You must get 100% on both in order to get credit at all.
We are NOT doing the back of the log this week. Your Log is due TODAY.
If you get an A on this week's log, last week's log will be a 100%, no matter what scoreyou actually got last week.
THURSDAY 09/14/23
Goal for TODAY: Meet with team. Pitch ALL ideas. Be able to describe the topics researched by teammates.
**NOTE: Being able to DESCRIBE topics is not the same as simply NAMING topics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meet in a separate area of the room, uncrowded by another group.
Agree on a method of sharing so that ALL members pitch their idea and ALL members ask clarifying questions.
WEDNESDAY 09/13/23
Goal for TODAY: Gather enough information about my topic to pitch it to my team. * I will confidently answer questions about my topic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal is not to "fill in the paper". The goal is to gather enough information to make your topic interesting to your team. If you don't have compelling and detailed information about the problem you are researching, you won't be able to get others interested in it. If you can answer questions about it, when people ask "why" and "what about..." questions regarding your topic, then you likely have enough information to pitch it.
TUESDAY 09/12/23
Goal for TODAY: Thoroughly research your topic on your Sustainability Topic Research Exploration sheet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do a thorough job of researching your topic today.
Think about how a five-year-old will continually ask "Why?" after every answer you give. Whenever you find an item of information, ask again, "Why?" and then find the answer. Then ask, "Why?" again.
The idea is to get as much information about the topic as you can so that you can so that you can share it with your team at your meeting. Since they did not research the same topic as you, they will have a lot of questions. You will need to have answers. You chose a topic that is interesting to you. Now is your chance to pitch it to your team, so you have to make it interesting to THEM.
