Final Day

Use a computer to take the test

Fill out this sheet

Wrap up Thursday and Friday

Use a sheet of newsprint.  You will do this individually.

1.  Draw planet.  Place a convergent plate boundary, a divergent plate boundary, two volcanoes, and a mountain range.  Tell me what should happen on the active boundaries, and if the volcanoes are evidence of CURRENT plate tectonics or PAST plate tectonics.

2.  Give me an example of convection, conduction, and radiation on Earth by drawing a picture.

3.  Tell me what types of 2 specific types of waves that come from the Sun and what evidence we have that they exist.  Identify these waves as transverse or compressional.

4.  We took temperatures of a variety of surfaces outside the school.   Sketch a sample of the front or side of the school building, list 4 temperatures, and tell me what directions those winds would be blowing.

5.  Which do you think is more useful:  passive or active solar heating?  Draw a picture to support your efforts.

6.  How does a windmill provide energy to the people who live on the electrical grid?

7.  Use a skateboarder to explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy.

8.  Explain how sound waves are different from light waves, using diagrams and energy travel direction.

9.  What is an application of sound waves in our world and how does it work?  Be sure to use the words resonance, frequency, matter, and wavelength in your answer.

10.  How does a mousetrap car change potential energy and kinetic energy?

11.  How is inertia different from Newton's first law when you use a bowling ball or other object.

12.  Why are some shadows in focus and some shadows blurry?  Explain.

13.  Why do surfaces heat unevenly?

14.  What type of waves are used in a cell phone as you a) dial;  b) it connects to the tower; c) it goes to another person; d) the other person hears and answers it.  Think about your senses as you use it.

QR codes

Today, you will be making a scavenger hunt using QR codes


STEP 1:  Watch the video



STEP 2:  Find out about qr codes https://sites.google.com/a/lshigh.org/gotbooks/qr-codes
and be able to compare them to bar codes.

STEP 3:  Decide what your qr codes will link to:

• a website
• a location on google maps
• a clue (perhaps on twitter or weebly) that will require you to solve a riddle
• other ideas

Here's how one person figured it out:   http://ilearntechnology.com/?p=4211

Here is another:   http://storify.com/720mi/qr-code-scavenger-hunt  (this includes the video above, as well as other ideas)

STEP 4:  Plan your hunt and make the qrcodes:   http://www.qrstuff.com/ is one maker that is kind of cool, but there are dozens of them out there.

Your QR scavenger hunt must have at least seven clues, which should be saved as .png or .jpg and pasted onto a word document.  Send this to me at the end of the class.

Three Instructables and Away you Go

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-mix-songs-in-Audacity/


http://www.instructables.com/id/Drum-Beats-in-Audacity/


http://www.instructables.com/id/Basic-recording-and-editing-with-Audacity/


http://audacity.sourceforge.net/


You must create a multiple track song.  This includes the percussion instrument you made (you'll have to bring it in by tomorrow), your instrument, a synthesized sound from an app, and something else.  Your song needs to be at least 30 seconds long.

Instructables

music that you create will be a combination of your wind instruments and other sources.  today you will need to look at the app that a company Google Chrome and the homemade instruments on Instructables.  your group must have a percussion instrument to go along with your wind instrument.

Many of you also need to correct your pipe lengths for your instrument.

then go to the Google Chrome App Store and look for music apps that you can use to help enhance your song.

at the end of the hour you will be asked to reflect on your progress.

Musical Instrument creation

1.  Print the 8notes.com piece.
2. Identify the notes

3.  Look up the frequencies in Hz.


http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html


4.  Identify 4 to 6 frequencies that you will use in your instrument.




5.  Watch 30 seconds of each video above.

6.  Go to instructables and search for an instrument with different notes that match yours.
