Lab writeups will be due as per the syllabus, generally on lab days after each test. Only projects from this set are available for credit for the due dates labled "space project due". Two credits are due for each duedate - graded on a 20 point basis - projects exceeding 10 points are accepted as multiple credits / 10 pts. Mix & match projects of different values to get the required 20 points. You may email your submissions for 10% typed extra credit up to midnight to receive credit for submission for that workday. Remember, online modules only work online, not as hard copies - the links don't work on paper:P. You risk considerable credit loss trying to work offline on an intercative module!

Project work and individual & group discussion of proceedure, results, and implications is a REQUIRED classtime activity. Each test cycle will have one full lab day immediately after the test, and usually 4 half hour lab sessions following before the lab set is due, usually after the next test.

Bring up ?'s / problems in class - I will not excuse misunderstandings caused by last minuet starts of 1.5 week projects. Start on the first day, read all the way through supporting information, and get help during work periods, after school, and through voice/email/listserv. Remember, there are 10 web stations available in class, the entire science library, the lunatic who composed the lessons & will grade them (hint-hint;>), and a total of at least 3 class hours devoted to each assignment set - with an estimated complettion time of ~45min/ activity(est.90min.tot.)

Off - task, avoidant behavior, lack of materials to work on or with, absence of verifiable progress, or disruptive behavior result in expulsion from lab with a discipline referral for disobeyance / non-compliance. Self-starting is expected - choosing to waste several minuets of lab time "getting ready to start" warrents an expulsion without any further warning beyond this notice.

The 6 writing traits (Ideas, Organization, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Voice, and Conventions) determine utility of the submitted information, & thus determine the grade value as well. Standard lab report style is accepted - (title, purpose/abstract, hypothesis, materials, proceedures, results, & analyses/implications) - although a well structured narrative is awarded more value.

Two handwritten pages of narrative product are expected, with only a LEFT 1" margin, is assumed to be ~200 words, or ~1 page typed, double-spaced font 12 Geneva or eq. with 1" margins all around. Suspect submissions will be word-tallied, & graded proportionate to work received.

NO REPEATS OF PROJECT SELECTIONS ALLOWED FOR ANY CREDIT! Extra Credit IS available at full value for ALL remaining projects ONCE for EACH PERSON during this unit. Extra credit must be done to passing level expectations (7/10pts. minimum), be in by the close of the grading period, are not eligible for early submission bonuses, and all tests and required projects to date must be completed and accepted.

Extra credit demonstrations or orals MAY be given at instructor's discretion. Don't expect class time for extra credit presentations during the last week of the marking period.

Web Page Project Conversion (#7) may be repeated as a helper 1/2 credit. Anyone who successfully completes their submission and has it accepted can help another student learn web site development by converting any other unselected project into a web site. The new submitter gets full credit, the helper another 1/2 credit for their assistance.Five points for original web pages, 2pts. for helping.

Washinton State Science & Engineering Fair (Intel-WSSEF) contract replaces these assignment requirements as long as the contract remains in effect. Instructor retains the right to revoke WSSEF status dependent on productivity, self - responsibility, responsiveness to directives, and quality of work on site.

Projects are worth 1-10 points (20 points needed per duedate), and the projects category is 30% of the course grade.
Extra points for completed, passing level work (2-early, 1-typing, max.) still apply.
Acceptable quality @ assignment minimums=7/10. Higher quality/no errors=more points.
Lack of full header/title information may result in credit loss. USE FULL TITLES & ASSIGNMENT #'s AS LISTED HERE, & IDENTIFY WHICH ASSIGNMENT SET (ex: #1, LEM, 1st set due Fr19Jan'01).

31) Sojourner Lander Trig Survey (10pts)
Things to scrounge include a meterstick (or any measured rod of convenient height), a compass, graph paper, pencil, a calculator, scotch tape, thumbtack, plastic straw, string, a small mass (plumb bob), & protractor. With these materials you will conduct a remote survey of objects & terrain on school grounds (indoors or out) to construct a preliminary map for a rover such as sojourner to exploit. At the top of the measured pole or meterstick,, thumbtack the protractor with the curved part downward, along with the twine. Attach the plumb mass at the end of the twine above ground level, & keep the twine centered midline along the pole/meterstick. Tape the straw along the straight edge of the protractor. This is your declometer, a device for measuring an angle from one point at a known altitude to another point not directly measured. Pick a target worthy of being mapped in your vicinity. Sight it with the declometer, & record the angle AS MEASURED FROM THE PLUM LINE. This yields an inner angle of a rt. triangle, since the pole is plumb (perpendicular = 90 deg) to the surface. This lets us bring that ancient Egyptian shortcut TRIGONOMETRY into play:> Take the tangent of the angle you measured & multiply it by the height of the pole/stick. That's the distance to the object sighted through the straw of the declometer:>! Take a compass reading to lock in its other radial coordinate, & note it on the graph paper. Continue to map nine more targets. Be prepared to have me check the validity of your map IN PERSON:>! Write up your procedure & findings. Be sure to include an explanation of the relation between distance & angle of observation of an object.

Give an oral presentation with visuals, and a minimum 5 page writeup for a "C", describing a fictional alien on another world. Describe the details of the planet it is found on: mass, density, surface gravity, weather, atmosphere and hydrosphere, stellar conditions and distance. Explain how all these features determine the animal's environment Describe the animal's physiology and ethology (structure and behavior) enabling it to gain it's requirements from this environment. Provide a recommendation for what we should do with this species: attempt communication, exploitation, etc. Also pairs nicely with #37: SETI MESSAGES:>

49) Crater Demonstrations (10pts)
Uses corn starch, flour, cocoa or chocolate drink mix, sand, dirt, in a pie tin either outdoors or on a plastic bag or tarp. Investigate the mechanics of crater formation, using marbles or other dense objects to reproduce crater formation effects on the lunar & planetary web pages. Layer dark cocao powder over lighter flour mixes, & lighter flour over dirt or sand. Moisten each substrate not at all, barely, & to saturation. Drop the masses vertically, at shallow angles, with minimal & maximal forces for each experiment.
The resulting substrate parings will each be tested as described above:
flour under cacao
cornstarch under cacao
sand under flour
sand under cornstarch
dirt under flour
dirt under cornstarch
Illustrate each impact result, & describe in detail what effect it had on displacement for each substrate. The total descriptions will be along these lines:
6 vertical & soft
6 shallow & soft
6 vertical & hard
6 shallow & hard
Summarize your findings in terms of perceived effects, indicating which substrate & impact type combinations most closely resemble different crater types on Welcome to the Planets & SEDS The Nine Planets.
