Tuesday December 1, 2015
Daily Objective:
Today we will do some background research about Earthquakes & apply the engineering process to design and build an earthquake proof building model
Daily Question:
What Ideas/Factors need to be considered in designing and building an earthquake proof building?

2. Brainstorm
Use Post-Its to write down every idea that needs to be considered in the successful design and building of the structure.
Each student should write as many ideas as they can think of, and all ideas should be valued.
Consider things like:
material
Cost
Time
When everyone is done, the leader needs to direct a discussion to organize the ideas into a few categories of related topics.
Give each category a general name.
Then decide what factors are the most important to address in the design.
What are your main categories of design ideas or factors that your group developed?

3. Part A/B
Part A
View Discovery Ed. “Discovering Math: Advanced: Geometry: 01- Geometric Constructions” video clip (11 min.)
List at 3 ideas from the video that you could include in your design.
Part B
List all the materials that your group plans to use /does use during construction.

4. Part C View Discovery Ed. “Grades 06-07: Scales Drawings”
Scale Drawings: The final drawing needs to be on an 8.5x11” sheet of graph paper. Since the model is larger than that, the drawing must be scaled to fit on the paper!
The scale drawing needs to have a ratio of 1cm:2m to make a drawing that is 20cm in height.
The model needs to have a ratio of 1cm:1m to represent a 40mx10mx10m building.
Homework: Complete a scale drawing of a design on graph paper. Follow these drawing guidelines:
Use a ruler for all lines and use a pencil.
Label the material and measurement of all components.
Include different views of the building, front, sides, and back.
The building does not have to be enclosed, but at least one wall face needs to remain open to add the weights on each floor for testing.

5. Part D
View the Discovery Ed. Video “Strip the City: San Francisco” (select segments #1, 2, and 5) (13 min.)
take 5 full note ideas that will be shared.

6. Homework: Due tomorrow
Daily Agenda – Fill this out each day and I will check if you have completed the tasks.
