I would like to review a little of what we were working on before the school closure started. The last week we were in school we had just started talking about the parts and purpose of a flower. This week's lessons for Wednesday 15th, Thursday 16th, and Friday 17th, I would like you to spend the time preparing an informative slide or poster that you could share with others to teach them the import parts of the flower and the purpose of each. If you don’t have the notes and diagrams from class you may have to do a little research. Please email me your finished product by Friday 17th at the end of the day. You can copy paste the into an email, take a picture of the poster, or drop off the final product at the school during the drop off times. If you have any questions, please send me an email at aevans@ my office hours are from 10:00-11:00 but you can email me anytime and I will respond when I see it. ?Pre-Engineering I (Tech I): Mr. Coffman’s Office Hours: 8:00am – 9:00amRCoffman@ This Week’s Pre-Engineering I Work: Pre-Engineering I am going to be very flexible since I know we all have different living situations. Each week you are going to do some engineering related designing or making based project. These projects will be individual and primarily determined by what resources you have available and what your interests are in life. Here are some basic guidelines: Do a project. Make something and document what you did. There are literally millions of projects out there. For example, I typed clothespin projects into Google and got a lot of ideas of projects you could do with an old clothespin. Research something that you want to learn about in life. A few examples: How do magnets work? How does an LED light work? How does a nuclear reactor work? You could also work on a larger project that takes a longer period of time, and then submit weekly progress reports. A few examples: helping your family build or remodel a house, building a shed, chicken coop, tree house, learning to weld, painting a room or entire house, building a fence, helping the neighbor cut trees or brush, Develop more skill in Computer Aided Design (CAD): download Rhino or TinkerCAD and use on-line tutorials to learn how to draw things with these CAD tools. If you don’t have a computer or internet that is ok, you can do a lot of these activities using pencil and paper. Engineers all have an engineering notebook where they document everything. A few examples: draw the basic floor plans of a house labeling all of the rooms. This could be your house or a house you would consider building. I would use a ruler and make a scale of ?”=1’. You could also draw out your property labeling everything. You could make a bunch of paper airplanes and explain how it was done while testing them out. Please make sure you are documenting what you are doing and submit it to me. Include step by step instructions as and/or a weekly write up. A picture says a thousand words, so include pictures if you can. You might want to do a project one week and research something the next just to change things up a bit. My goal is to get your hands and brain doing something productive. Each week you will get points for submitting your documented notes. You can either type them up and e-mail them to me or write them out neatly and send me a photo of your written notes from a cell phone. These weekly submissions will be the basis for your grade in Pre-engineering as we move forward to the end of the year.Pre-Engineering II (Tech II): Mr. Coffman’s Office Hours: 8:00am – 9:00amRCoffman@ This Week’s Pre-Engineering II Work: Pre-Engineering I am going to be very flexible since I know we all have different living situations.
