Essential Question: What experiences can change the way you see yourself and the world around you? How can scientific knowledge change over time?
Tuesday
Directions: Read the following background information and watch videos about Apollo 13.
Fifty years ago, this month, the world held its breath – hoping, praying and wishing for a miracle that would spare the lives of a crew stranded in the most hostile and remote of conditions. Aboard a ruptured spacecraft, a three-man crew once bound for the moon found themselves in an epic race to survive against every conceivable obstacle imaginable. Their journey – the mission of Apollo 13 – was deemed a ‘successful failure’ given that the crew safely returned home to Earth. It was one of those moments that showed that with ingenuity, skill, creative thinking and teamwork, even the worst odds can be beat and great things can still occur despite the most epic challenges. ~Space Foundation
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/50-years-ago-apollo-13-crew-returns-safely-to-earth
The Problem:
Carbon dioxide was reaching dangerous levels in the cabin. The crew had filters, but they were for another part of the ship and were the wrong shape. Thus, NASA engineers were presented with one of the most dramatic STEM Challenges ever.

Wednesday - Friday - Make an Astronaut Lander
Landing on the Moon and Mars is tricky. A lander headed to the Moon can go as fast as 24,816 miles (39,937 kilometers) per hour. Those on their way to Mars might go up to 13,000 miles (21,000 kilometers) per hour. To land gently, these spacecraft need to slow down before touching the surface! And if there are astronauts on board, the lander needs to keep them safe, too.
In this challenge, use what you know and what you can investigate about gravity, motion, forces and a target of your choosing (the Moon, Mars or beyond!) to design and build a lander that will protect two "astronauts" when they touch down. Just as engineers had to develop solutions for landing different kinds of vehicles on the Moon and Mars, you will follow the engineering design process to design and build a shock-absorbing system out of simple materials; and improve your design based on the results of your test landings. ***REMEMBER...if you do not have some of the materials listed, do what the astronauts had to do and find a suitable replacement from what you have around your house.
Click on the link below to see the instructions and materials needed for this activity.
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/pdfs/touchdown_worksheet.pdf
Discussion Questions: Please respond and share to your teacher in 365
- What forces affected your lander as it fell?
- After testing, what changes did you make to your lander?
- How does testing help you improve a design?
- What did you learn from your experience?
- What are some other experiences that can change the way you see yourself and the world around you?
- How can scientific knowledge change over time?

Student Learning – April 28th- May 4th - Writing and History
Essential Question – What experiences or events can change the way you see yourself and the world around you?
1. Research – The Constitution and The Bill of Rights
Due to the colonists’ independence from Britain, they found themselves experiencing growing pains in the form of how to govern. Now the task they faced was creating their new government…One quite different than how King George III ruled. When the idea of having a government over the people came up and the Constitution was being written, people got very nervous that the government would take too much power and people would lose important rights. In our country, we have added to the Constitution amendments that change the Constitution. The first 10 of these were added right away and are called the Bill of Rights.

These are sample problems. You may have something different because you were able to make up your own!
1. A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of flour. To make 2 times as many servings, how many cups of flour do you need?
3/4 X 2 = 6/4 cups of flour
2. On Friday, 5/6 of the students in a class bought lunch. Of those students, 1/3 bought a chef salad. How many students bought a chef salad?
5/6 X 1/3 = 5/18 of the students
3. Abbie earns $6 an hour mowing lawns. She mowed for 3.5 hours, how much money did she earn?
6 X 3.5 = $21
4. On a hot summer afternoon, 1/4 of a pitcher of lemonade was shared equally by 2 thirsty friends. How much did each friend get?

Math Answer Key - Thursday
Equations and estimates may vary.
1. Equation and answer: 91,292 - 68,406 = 22,886 people
Estimate: Round 91,292 to 90,000 and 68,406 to 70,000, then subtract. My answer is reasonable because my estimate is 90,000 - 70,000 = 20,000, which is close to 22,886.
2. Equation and answer: (5 X 50) - 229.06 = $20.94
Estimate: Round 229.06 to 230, then subtract it from 250. My answer is reasonable because my estimate is 250 - 230 = 20, which is close to 20.94.
3. Equation and answer: 588 ÷ 21 = 28 students
Estimate: 588 is about 600 and 21 is about 20; my answer is reasonable because 600 ÷ 20 = 30, which is close to 28.
4. Equation and answer: 7.92 ÷ 8 = $0.99 or 99¢
Estimate: 7.92 is about 8; my answer is reasonable because my estimate is 8 ÷ 8 = 1, which is close to $0.99.
5. Equation and answer: 5/8 + 15/16 = 1 9/16 inches
Estimate: 5/8 is close to 1/2 and 15/16 is close to 1. My answer is reasonable because 1/2 + 1 = 1 1/2, which is close to 1 9/16.
6. Equation and answer: 2 7/8 - 7/16 = 2 7/16 inches
Estimate: 2 7/8 is close to 3 and 7/16 is close to 1/2. My answer is reasonable because 3 - 1/2 = 2 1/2, which is close to 2 7/16.
7. Equation and answer: 45 ÷ 6 = $7.50
Estimate: Each friend will receive between $7 and $8 because 6 X 7 = 42 and 6 X 8 = 48.
8. Equation and answer: 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5 kilometers
Estimate: Each runner ran between 2 and 3 kilometers because 4 X 2 = 8 and 4 X 3 = 12.

Salt to Sea
Author - RUTA SEPETYS
Short summary: The book Salt to Sea takes place in the winter of 1945. There are four different people and they each have a secret. Each one comes from a different homeland and they were all hunted by tragedy, lies and war. Thousands of people desperately run towards the coast vying for passage aboard the Wilhelm Gustloff one of the ships that promises safety and freedom. But not all promises can be kept in the time of war.
Why I enjoyed this book: I enjoyed the book Salt to Sea because it was cool to see how four different people crossed paths trying to gain freedom from their government.
This book is for people who like... Salt to Sea is for people who like historical fiction and mystery because each person has a different past and they express their life before war at different parts of the book and that keeps you wondering who is going to tell you about themselves next.

The place is crawling with monsters with unnatural darkness. but when she is attacked, Helena unleashes dormant magic not even she knew she possessed. I enjoy this book because it has a lot of plot. And it's just for 5.2 readers It is a three-book series and it is a three-book series and it's meant for middle schoolers. Some language, and very creepy monsters. I would give it a 10 out of 10 because it is a really good book and it has a lot of adventure in mystery which I love.

I have been teaching at Chipeta for the past 10 years and am currently teaching 5th Grade. I was born and raised in Orange County, California and come from a large family – 1 of 8 kids - with 2 sets of twins! I married my high school sweetheart, Doug, and we have been married for 30 years. We have 1 daughter, Rebecca who currently is in her 6th year teaching kindergarten. We have a 10 year old chocolate lab named Annie and a 1 year old yellow lab named Maggie.
I am in my 30th year of teaching and I have previously taught 4th grade (16 years), 1st grade (5 years), 3rd grade (2 years). 6th grade math and GT math (3 years) and 5th grade (4 years). I graduated California State Long Beach with my BA in Speech Communications.
