Earth Science Challenge #2

  1. I chose the easy question again due to my confidence in this module
  2. Here is the link: http://www.slnova.org/RobynE/projects/302863/
  3. Gratefully, I did not have a problem with having the pump go deeper in to the ground.
  4. Again, I will still need to review and study this module before using it in my classroom.

I added a second pump that extended to a shallower depth than the first.

I chose the Easy challenge because of SOLs, reviewing, remediation and grades all take up a vast amount of my time, so I needed to complete something that was a bit simpler. http://www.slnova.org/ndevenuti/projects/306694/

I struggle remembering how to manipulate the x/y coordinates to do my bidding correctly. I can eventually get everything to work correctly, but I usually have to run the program through a few times to make sure it is 100% correct.

I chose to complete the Easy Challenge because Iā€™m comfortable with it. I attempted to do the Medium Challenge, but wasnā€™t able to focus and wanted to feel accomplished, so I stuck with the easy one. I was able to change 2 of my 4 pumps rather easily by changing the Y values, one is now higher than the others and one is much lower than the others. The only help I need at this time is more time to sit and work on this, but thatā€™s not possible.

This one was slightly more difficult trying to make the pumps deeper. Figuring out the correct dimensions was tricky. no.

I chose challenge 1, to create a more shallow well. I chose this because I wanted to explore meaningful but uncomplicated tasks that would be accessible to my struggling students. I found it challenging to go deeper with the well, so I decide to go more shallow. I will have some of my advanced students explore this so we can figure out what is needed to go deeper. I am pleased to have students who can work with each other to figure out the coding needed to do tasks that interest them.

I chose to install a deeper, more shallow pump. http://www.slnova.org/Mrs_Skurnick/projects/430367/ I struggled with figuring out what would make it shallow versus what would make it deeper or wider.

68

I chose the 2nd challenge question and was able to make the asphalt layer (in purple) and to have the water evaporate when it hits it, however I havenā€™t made the water pause there first. I will try that if I have time later.
