Flying through forces

Which only means it must be time for a project!

All students are guests in this Science Cafe. Students received their menus today after taking the test. Each student's goal is to "purchase" $25 worth of "dishes". Dishes get purchased by completing the specified task.  Everyone must have an appetizer, a beverage and a dessert. Entree and salads are optional. All tasks, excluding entrees, are individual effort. Only the entree may be a group effort. A group may be up to 4 students from any of my period 1, 2 or 4 classes. Dishes may be turned in as they are completed. All dishes are due no later than March 17.

Check out the top of the page for links to criteria. Also, criteria is posted in the classroom.
