[until 7:15 am] (10 min)Collaboration Rubrics - Introduce the day’s schedule and hand out the Collaboration Rubrics and reinforce how important it is that they work together. ?[until 7:30] ?(15 min)Have students read through the 21CS Collaboration Rubric.What is the best part / worst parts of working in a group? ?What ways can you ensure that you are an effective group member?Have them develop an agreement about how work will be shared among the members and the roles. ?It is advisable that these roles are not set for the rest of the project, or even the rest of the day. ?Recorder - Adds information to the Engineering Science NotebookManufacturer - Will be hands on in transforming the hovercraft into a quadcopter and other building tasks Artist - Add in group designs into notebookServant Leader - Oversees each group and serves the group in any way possibleOther - Insert your own job title and job descriptionTypes of Basic Forces ?[until 8] ??(30 min)Using the large Whiteboards / or giant Post It Pages, the teacher will introduce the students to the various basic types of forces that are normally talked about in a Physics or Principles of Engineering. ?Each student will be taking notes in their engineering notebooks.Gravity, Normal, Friction, Tension (ropes), Spring, Compression, Lift, ThrustName, Symbol, When is this Force Present, Which direction is this force. ?We will not be giving the formulas at this time.There notes page should look similar to the first page of BFPM G.01 - Types of ForcesThis is done in a very similar way as described in Kelly OShea’s Physics modeling blog.System Schema and Free Body Diagrams - Hover Disc. ?[until 8:30] (30 min)The class will break up into two groups, with both teachers walking through the steps of creating snapshots of forces to create a system schema and a free body diagram. ?This assignment will also be done in their notebooks as the second half of the Introduction to Forces. ?There will be a couple of sets of teachers sets that can be included for anyone who may be absent. ?This activity is very similar to Kelly Oshea’s Introduction to Forces as described in her blog.4 “Snapshots”: At rest & turned off, sliding across floor & turned on, sliding across floor & turned off, and being stopped by a string.The MAIN GOAL of this assignment is for them to make the connection that Balanced Forces = Constant Velocity, and Unbalanced Forces equals a changing velocity. ?BFPM = CVPM.This is similar to the second page of BFPM.G.01.There are two readings that the students will get access to that will help so that they can have some more concrete examples of how this works. ?BFPM Reading #1, and BFPM Reading #2PHET Lab [until 9] - (30 min) The class will move into the West Wing and take up the seats near their groups and begin to work through a lab simulation and see what the correlation to what will happen when forces are balanced or unbalanced and the motion of objects.Students will visit the PHET Force and Motion Simulator and will work through the assignment BFPM G.02 - Phet Simulator.Hovercraft Introduction – (5-10 min) Students will move back into the front foyer to begin working with RC Hovercrafts. ?Each team will get a Hovercraft and will get about 5 minutes (or 1 battery to practice driving the Hovercrafts. ?Each person in the team will have to drive the hovercraft for a part of the time.Rocketball Tournament [until 10:30] (60 – 85 min) The purpose of this activity is to give the students a real-life application of forces and actions. The team members will have experienced the effects of forces on their hovercrafts, allowing them to relate the previous activities and lectures.Rocketball is played with 6 hovercrafts on two different alliances. ?An example of play can be seen at . ?A small wiffle ball is placed in the center of the arena and both alliances try to score the ball in a goal, similar to soccer, except the hovercrafts are the players. ?Each team gets a fresh battery to start the match and the match will end in one of two ways. ?The first way to win is when one team scores 3 points. The other way to win is to have the most points when 2 or more batteries have died. ?During qualifications each time a goal is scored a new person needs to drive the hovercraft. ?Before you can have one person drive a second time, all other team members will need to drive the hovercraft.In the Rocketball Games, each alliance will have 3 teams. ?The total number of teams in the tournament will be 12. ?Each team will play 3 rounds with different alliances in the qualifications. A win in the qualifications is worth 2 points, a tie is worth 1 point, and a loss is worth 0 points. ?After the three matches, the top two teams will be able to draft their alliance partners for the finals. ?If two or more teams are tied, then we will go with the highest scores from qualification matches.In the finals, you can choose your top two drivers to play. The finals will be played to 3 goals, and batteries will be changed out as needed.If we run out of time then we will unfortunately have to award the winning team based on qualification scores.Round 1123VS456Round 2789VS101112Round 31137VS2514Round 413414VS1018Round 5369VS12145Round 61124VS13310Round 71168VS1279Round 813XXxxxForce Analysis in Rocket League. (5 - 10 min)After the teams have played, each person will need to write a short explanation about how forces affect the involved in driving the hovercrafts. ?This becomes more complicated as the hovercraft is moving in two dimensions instead of just moving forward and backward. ?Force diagrams for 4 situations need to be drawn and explained. ?This can be done during qualifications or as homework if the students desire.Hovercraft to Quadcopter Build ?[until 11] (15 – 20 min)After the team is done with Rocketball they will begin to transform their device back into its quadcopter design. ?There will be an instructional video that will be posted for them so that they can follow along if they need.They will also get a chance to learn what the specific parts of the quadcopter are called.POE Thursday, November 1 - students exchanged quadcopter motors to use the higher speed motors and 4 blade propellers. Then tested that they were assembled correctly and could bind with one of the controllers. Because we really need only 7 of them at a time, we might look at just using one controller/copter set for both group 1s.LUNCH - [until 11:30] (30 min) We will have a pizza lunch for the day. ?Students will get a half hour to eat in the West Wing.Design Team Sharing – [until 11:40] (10 min) Students are meeting to design as their complete groups for the first time with the physics students and the engineering student.Force test with quadcopters – [until 12:00] (20 min) The quadcopters have a maximum weight that they can hold and still fly. The goal of this activity is to determine the capacity of the group’s quadcopter and analyze the aggregated data to find a minimum and maximum and average of the set of quadcopters to help in the design process.How heavy can the applicator be?Procedure:Students will be given a set of paperclips to act as weights.All team members should decide how the paper clips should be added to the copter. Prepare the paper clips so that they may be quickly attached.Attach paper clips to the copter until it will no longer lift off to determine the maximum capacity.Find and record the mass of the paperclips minus one.Run the copter for 1 minute. Will there be a difference in number of paperclips?Repeat the paper clip experimentAdd your masses to the chart on the wall.Record all of the masses in your engineering notebook. Find the mean for each test..Find the approximate volume of the attachment. Use density of PLA = 1.25 gcm3So what?Discuss what this answer means for the design of the pollinator.Test Applicator Materials - [until 12:20] (20 min) Students were asked to bring in potential materials to use to collect and dispense pollen. You might imagine a collection of cotton swabs, cotton balls, paint brushes, yarn, etc. Students will use their samples to test different materials. It is a good idea to have some potential materials that you can share with the students. Some ideas are paper, fabric, fleece, Re-introduce the Critical Thinking Rubric and Creativity and Innovation Rubric ?to the students and have them review them before they get too far into designing the applicators.Critical Thinking Rubric Creativity and Innovation RubricWhat is the best material to use for the applicator?Give each group a small quantity of “pollen” dust and tape.Test each material for how well it picks up the dust and how well it leaves it on the tape.Weigh a quantity of the material that you might use for your pollinator. Record all information.As a group, score each material on a scale of 1 to 5 for picking up and dropping off. Rank each material for weight.Design Holder for the applicator - [until 12:35] (15 minAs a group, make sketches of at least 3 concepts for the pollinator.Label parts and materials on the sketches.Write down any special information about the design.Decision Matrix for Pollinator Designs - [[until 12:55] (20 min)What is the best design to use for the pollinator?Review the decision matrix process with the whole group. Students should use the decision matrix to quantify the suitability of each constraint of each design as a team.Record the results of the decision matrix in the notebooks. “Design # ___ is our choice for the pollinator because….”Final Sketch - [until 1:15] ?(20 - 25 min)Sketch the final design concept as a team on large papers.Take a photo of the design for each member of the group to print out and tape into each engineering notebook. Take a photo of the team to add to online group folder for the presentation.Closure/ ReviewConclusion - [release at 1:25] ?(5 - 10 min) Summarize today’s activities with the group. Explain again that the students will be meeting in their own classes to make the prototypes in POE and presentations in Physics CP until the next week when presentations will occur. In the meantime, communication between team members can be electronic to update each other what is happening. Answer any questions that students may have about this.

Note that there is discussion about the weather’s effects on flight. How does that relate to our work with forces in yesterday’s class?. Review the goal of these members of the teams: Because there is only one POE student on each team, they will model the design that their team decided upon and 3-D print it.Open to the next page in the engineering notebook. Title, add to table of contents, and date the top of the page. Begin taking notes of what is done today.Start Inventor. Review naming conventions and expectations for storing and sharing the files.Have everyone make a new project called Pollinator - team name. Students should download the frame body part file and save it in their Inventor folder with their team name added. Open the project in Inventor and open the file.From the pictures of the drawings that were made yesterday (make sure they are taped into notebooks, signed across edges, and dated), students will make engineering detail drawings. Make sure that the sizes will fit with the existing model. Be aware of the design guidelines for 3D printing. (See Rules for 3D Printing.pdf)As items are completed, mark progress in the engineering notebooks. If there are questions, post them for the rest of the team. Share progress through post.After the details of the addition have been thought through, start modeling it as additions to the existing drone frame. Save a copy of the part file to the shared drive for the Physics CP students. If necessary, demonstrate how to do this.If necessary, stop everyone and share common issues that the students are coming across.

The force diagrams that were optionally homework on Wednesday will be collected and discussed. The flowers that are arranged in the room will be a fun reminder of what our ultimate goal is - having a working quadcopter that will distribute pollen from one flower to another. The students will check the mass of the part through iProperties and save a rendering of the part for the Physics CP students to put in the presentation.COLLECT HOMEWORK - Force Analysis in the Rocket League. Discuss the results and explanations of how the forces acted on the hovercrafts. Correct any misconceptions. (3 - 10 minutes)Exhibit the flowers to reinforce the goals of the prototype.Today’s goal ?(2 minutes): have a model ready to print that:(Say it and write it on the board.)Will hold the applicator materialHas a mass less than the liftWill be able to apply pollenStudents should be ready with their engineering notebooks and checking for posts from their teammates. Write today’s activities in the notebook. Also note comments and suggestions from teammates’ posts and respond to those - both as a follow-up post and as an entry in the notebook. (5 minutes)Continue Modeling. Rest of time (30 minutes)Use Inventor’s iProperties to estimate the mass of the new drone frame with the pollinator. If the model is very solid, the mass will be less than is estimated. Any information that is learned needs to be entered into the notebook.Save a copy of the file in the shared drive. Because this will be used by the Physics CP students, we will be sure that it is not the original file.Save an image file in the shared drive for the team to use in the presentation.Students will have printed a previous project, so they will be familiar with the export and slicing processes to ready the model for printing. Students will be able to download their Cura file for the print. Models will be logged in and listed with the estimated time to complete. A sheet like this 3D printing order tracker can help keep track of the prints. The printers can be running most of the day. Try to print all the models before Monday’s class.Closure/ ReviewHave each student briefly share where they are in the process. Share that they will have another day to continue, but there must be a finished product by the end of class in two days.

This will free the teachers to be certain that everything is running smoothly. Some suggestions for the guests are the administration, Biology teachers, Entomology professor, ?bee keepers, local farmers, greenhouse owners, florists, etc. Talk with them in advance so that they understand the role they are playing in the competition.Make use of the auditorium stage for the flight tests and a wing of the auditorium (spare room) for the presentations. Set the flowers in advance and make sure all the A/V components are ready. The resource period that is the previous afternoon gives a perfect opportunity to remove any potential problems before the actual day. Lesson Procedures: Introduce the esteemed guests/ stakeholders/ panelists.“Explain” to the guests and students the purpose of the project and what will be happening this morning.Panelists for judging the pollination trials will have the Communication Rubric which will be used to judge the munication RubricStudent will have a scorecard to score the pollination flights as well.Panelists for judging the Shark Tank Pitches will have a scorecard based on the expectations for the pitch and the Communication Rubric.Students and judges will be released to their prospective areas so that they can follow the schedule below so that they know when and where they are to be to maximize the day. The students who are not currently scheduled will sit in the auditorium to score the drones.8:559:009:059:109:159:209:259:309:359:409:459:509:5510Pollination Flights (in front of Auditorium)11421312378910111245Queue for demo flights1421312378910111245Queoer - AlynnPresentation [Principals Conference Room]7654321Queue for Presentation654321Presentation [Falcon's Nest]891011121314Queue for Presentation [Teacher's Lounge]91011121314Pollination Demos7. At the conclusion, gather again in the auditorium for concluding remarks and thanks to the guests for their time and service.Student Resources:Schedule for the Day – This needs to be created to accommodate your students and groups numbers. This will vary depending on how many groups you have. We had 16 groups and 5 minute shark tank presentations.Student Worksheets:n/aLesson Plan: #9 – Closing SessionLesson Focus:In this lesson we will reflect on the activity and refine possible ideas, evaluate group members, and celebrate the progressTotal Time Required:45 minute Class PeriodLesson Objectives:Students will be able to: Reflect on the unitCelebrate their progressEquipment and MaterialsTools and MaterialsQuantity NeededComputers1 per studentAwards / CandyAs determined by the teacher.Lesson Procedures: Procedures / Steps: The purpose of the day is to reflect on the learning that has occurred through this project. Could drones effectively perform the pollination duties of insects?What changes could have made our drone better?Students will complete an individual writing assignment that is to help them reflect on the whole project in their Engineering Notebooks. ?The expectation is that this assignment will be 1-2 pages. ?Topics to include are as follows: Discuss how their design used biomimicry to pollinate flowers.Describe the forces involved in the flight and motion of the pollination drone.Individually reflect on what was most successful about their work and what was least successful.Propose a modification to their design with an explanation of what improvement their modification will provide.Students will also get a chance to self-reflect on the 21st Century Rubrics one more time for their teammates’ and team’s efforts. ??This will be factored into their grades for this unit munication RubricCollaboration Rubric.Critical Thinking Rubric Creativity and Innovation RubricThe most successful pollination drones will be displayed in the PLTW display case (actual drone, or photos, or videos?) The following are possible sources of formative and summative assessment:The 21st Century Rubrics will be used for most of the formative and summative assessment.When the students fill them out as they progress through the unit that will be part of the formative assessments.The summative assessments will be based on a combination of rubric scores from the individual learners, their group members, and the teacher.Collaboration RubricCommunication RubricCritical Thinking Rubric Creativity and Innovation RubricStudent Resources:Collaboration Rubric.Critical Thinking Rubric Creativity and Innovation RubricCommunication RubricStudent Worksheets:n/a-3891122079100This project is supported by the National Science Foundation, award # DRL – 1513248Any opinions, and findings expressed in this material are the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of NSF. ................
