May 25th, 2017 - Room 7 look here too

Welcome Room 7 students :-)

Agenda:
1. Page 2 (back of p. 1 - area) of math booklet - due Monday.
2. Create a modification to your parachute - add a hole in the top, modify the canopy (size, material, number of sides), modify the shroud lines (type, length, number), modify the weight. You may also have  some other creative ideas to engineer your parachute to preform a different purpose. You may enter either of the 2 contests - land your parachute on a target or stay in the sky the longest. These tests will be happening during FAF tomorrow.
3. F.A.F. tomorrow.  Please dress appropriately.

Dr. Marc Strous will be visiting tomorrow to answer questions we have about our work with the PBR. Here is his website if you would like to know more about him and his department before his visit.
