  2. Rocket Glyphs GETTING TO KNOW YOU Have you been to this camp before ? black (Y) white (N) Rocket Color Boy (orange) Girl (yellow) Nose Cone Brother (green) Sister (red) Neither (blue) Wings—Pets Yes (purple) No (pink) Flame—Favorite Subject Math (red) Soc. Studies (green) Lang. Arts (blue) Science (purple) U.S.A.—Hobby Sports (red) Music (blue) Video Games (green) Reading (black) Steve joins Anjali, Jay and Kartik. Our Rocket Glyphs!!!

  3. BalloonRockets Ashley helps Kartik and Sally graph the motion of their rocket. Anesha watches as Colin and Delaney launch their rocket. Students built rockets using balloons, straws and fishing line. They measured time and distance of travel. Using a calculator and motion detector they graphed the motion of their rockets. Ready, Set, Go!! Justin and Devonta release their rocket.

  4. Paper Toss Probability • 10 cm. above • 150 cm. away • 250 cm. away • 350 cm. away • 6 m. away • w/your eyes • closed certain---likely---unlikely---never Byron makes his shot !!! Jay, Michael, and Justin measured and predicted at what distance they were most likely to make the most shots.

  5. Marshmallow Catapults Sam finds the mean. Connor collects data. • Marshmallows were flying. Students predicted at what angle the catapults would launch a marshmallow the farthest distance. • Data was averaged and graphed using a calculator. Kartik and Jay measure.

  6. Tetrahedron Kites Sally, Justin, and Corey help out with tracing. Becky shows Sally and Michael how to fold and cut their tissue paper After a “Shape Scavenger Hunt” and designing a Webbe book with our digital pictures we continued our exploration of geometry by constructing kites. What shapes can you find ? Corey covers his tetrahedron with bright blue tissue paper.

  7. Other Highlights Donald enjoys building perspective. Anjali looked forward to daily trips to the computer lab. Beth works with Kayla’s group on a creative writing activity.
