2 SWOSU The Search for Life Create a segment for the evening news reporting on the discovery of extraterrestrial life. ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
3 Evening Highlights Tinker Toy Activity Visit SWOSU Observatory Wellness Center Dodgeball Walking/running Games Movie Night Paper Rockets Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
4 How the Core Problem is Introduced? We have an open discussion on the first full day about the core problem. What would an announcement of the discovery of alien life include? Students give examples. Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
5 Re-education We ll spend a lot of time informing them away from their initial ideas Why is it every UFO sighting begins with So me and Roy was down in the bog, fishin --Woody Allen If only we had large numbers of trained people, all over the world, watching the skies every night so they could make note of UFOs. Oh, wait, we do! They re called Amateur Astronomers, and guess what? They never see UFOs. Neil DeGrasse Tyson Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
6 How did the Physics & Astronomy Class Help the Campers Develop a Plausible Solution to the Core Problem? ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
7 We want the students to have the freedom to emphasize in their final project the aspects of the camp they find most interesting. This could be Physics & Astronomy, Rocketry, Biology, Robotics ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
8 Goals of Physics & Astronomy Class: Develop a Cosmic Perspective. What exactly does the solar system look like? What would a scale model look like? How do Rockets work (we cover this in Engineering as well). What are Newton s laws? ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
9 Mr Trail Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
10 A bad model of the Solar System Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
11 Solar System Object Approx. Diameter (miles) If the Sun is 100 cm how big is the planet? Sun 865, cm Mercury 3, Venus 7, Earth 7, Mars 4, Jupiter 88, Saturn 74, Uranus 31, Neptune 30, Pluto 1, The Moon 2, Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
12 Learning about the Other Worlds Through Scale Models. ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
13 Sizes Scales Activity Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
14 Side notes about the activity. Is this how you thought the relative sizes of the planets looked? In the context of this activity, what do you think about the energy problem we have? Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
15 Resources: Available at SSML1/SSML1Stdnt.pdf Celestia Software (FREE) ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
16 A scale model of the solar system that incorporates relative distance We want to build a model of the solar system that scales the distance between the planets rather than the relative sizes of the planets. After setting up the model, campers get index cards telling the distance to a planet and we set up the solar system outside with students standing where the planets go. Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
17 Distance Scales Activity: 1AU{=93million miles}=3yds Distance(AU) Distance(yd) Diameter(in) Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars Ceres Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Eris Camp
18 SWOSU On this scale the Earth is ¼ inch from the Earth and it took Apollo 11 4 days to cover the distance. How long would it take to get to Saturn at a speed of 1000mph? New Horizons is going 40,000mph ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
19 SWOSU Sometimes we lay out this activity on a football field (if it is an evening activity), otherwise we do it outside the physics building. ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
20 How did Engineering Class help the campers develop a solution to the core problem? In engineering the students built and launched rockets and learned about how they work. They Built Paper rockets, straw rockets, and model rockets. We studied rockets in physics and we saw real rocket parts (and scale models) at the Stafford Air and Space Center. Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
21 SWOSU Why do Rockets look the way they do? ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
22 ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
23 SWOSU ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
24 ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
25 SWOSU Why do Rockets look the way they do? Assume a one pound payload has to be put into orbit at 100 miles above Earth s surface. The payload needs to be going very fast to stay in orbit Assume one pound of fuel will make a one pound payload got very fast. Assume it takes one pound of fuel to raise one pound of payload 10 miles How many pounds of fuel do you need to start with? ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
26 SWOSU Miles above Earth Payload (in pounds) ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp 2048
27 How is Mathematics Incorporated into the curriculum Rocket Activity Scaling sizes in Physics Space Travel Relating wheel rotations to distances in Robotics Nutrition, Evening Activities Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
28 SWOSU Scaling A Cookie Recipe for 12 cookies to 48 cookies ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
29 Mr Trail is secretly a Pro Wrestler!! Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
30 SWOSU Scaling Planetary Sizes ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
31 Solar System Object Approx. Diameter (miles) If the Sun is 100 cm how big is the planet? Sun 865, cm Mercury 3, Venus 7, Earth 7, Mars 4, Jupiter 88, Saturn 74, Uranus 31, Neptune 30, Pluto 1, The Moon 2, Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
32 ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
33 Math in Robotics Campers are required to build a robot that travels a certain distance then turn, then travel another distance then turn. No practice runs are allowed, so the students have to measure the circumference of the wheels so they know how many rotations to have the wheels make. ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
34 Fun Easy Activities Inexpensive, fun, instructive Tinker Toys Paper Rockets Straw Rockets ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp
35 The Tinker Toy Project Using 20 assorted pieces build any object. Write instructions on how to build it. Hand the instructions to another group. They have to build your object without seeing it Cost~$50 Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
36 Paper Rockets Build a rocket out of one sheet of paper, an index card, and scotch tape. Launch the rocket using the homemade paper rocket launcher. Explore the function of the parts of the rocket by modifying and retrying. Cost ~$50 Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
37 Straw Rockets Straw Rocket launcher allows repeatable thrust Allows angle adjustment. Only supplies are straws, tape, and index cards. Cost ~$ Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
38 Straw Rockets Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
39 Unique Pre-camp Activities I did a show at a few of the schools this year. It is something I might pursue. Bernard Harris - Exxon Mobile Summer Science Camps
