Go time!

Friday, June 1st, 2007

The boys have been busy conducting their experiments this week.  They made some necessary changes to their procedures based on last weeks tests and have begun collecting and organizing their data.  The boys will complete their experiments by Monday when they will submit their experimental reports.

 During the last few classes of the school year, the students will design and test a landing system for a fictional NASA research probe bound for the planet Xena (2003UB313.)  We will use an egg to represent the delicate probe, and we will drop each design to simulate entry into Xena’s atmosphere and landing on it’s unpredicatable surface.
