TEJ3M/4M – Oct 10, 2014

REMINDER:  PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS  ARE OCT 23 SO PLEASE TRY TO BOOK A TIME WITH ME ASAP.

The students had their hardware, number systems & logic gates unit test in class today.  I told the students they had the entire period to do the test if they needed it.  Once they were finished their test, they could either work on their lego mindstorm robots (the grade 12’s only – TEJ4M) or they could continue with their resistors assignment (the grade 11’s only – TEJ3M).  The 2 groups of grade 12’s (TEJ4M) still have to have their video taken by me of their robot completing the first course before moving on to the next task.  For the next task, the students are to build a race car of their own design that will be timed in the hall for 30 tiles (the tiles equal to 30ft in length).  The grade 11’s (TEJ3M) have an extension on their resistors assignment which is now due by the end of class on Tue Oct 14.

Below you will find a copies of the handouts/worksheets that were distributed/assigned in today’s class.
