Science Links - Flight

http://scdolinski.weebly.com/ A lot of information about flight. (history of flight, achieving flight)
http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/aboutus/wonder_of_flight/how_things.html How do things fly? (Choose one and find out more information)
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/UEET/StudentSite/vocabulary.html NASA website. Great information and vocabulary related directly to our unit on Flight. There are also games, etc.
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/UEET/StudentSite/dynamicsofflight.html  Dynamics of flight (4 forces, pitch, yaw, roll, elevators, ailerons)

http://library.thinkquest.org/2819/forces.htm The four forces (Drag, Thrust, Weight, Lift)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ltjFEei3AI&feature=related Very interesting video on four forces, it explains each force in detail and discusses Bernoulli's principle.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Hgckch-oA&feature=fvsr Video on pitch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYSXWy7nzY0&feature=channel Video on roll
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ddwm4_CaYE&feature=channel Video on yaw

Motion Geometry

Last Wednesday, we started our new unit in Math - Motion Geometry. We will be looking at transformations: translations, reflections and rotations in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane.
We started with translations (Keep in mind SL for slide) and we will be moving on to reflections this week.
Here is an introductory video on Motion Geometry.

Nelson resources.. practice (good review for mardi)

http://www.nelson.com/mathfocus/grade6/quizzes/ch04/ch04_6.htm Multiple choice questions on line graphs, great review!

http://www.nelson.com/mathfocus/grade6/quizzes/ch04/ch04_4.htm Cartesian plane and ordered pairs... see if you can get them all right!

Coordinate Planes (more links)

Happy learning!  
http://funbasedlearning.com/algebra/graphing/points/default.htm Game that helps you plot points on the Cartesian coordinate plane and also allows you to find the “mole” using the proper coordinates
http://funbasedlearning.com/algebra/graphing/default.htm Same game as above; available in medium and hard versions

Coordinate planes

Here are some websites for extra practice and review. It would be a good idea to spend a small amount of time each night.

http://www.funbrain.com/co/index.html What's the point? - Coordinates
http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/BillyBug/bugcoord.html Fun game with coordinate planes
http://www.math.com/school/subject2/lessons/S2U4L1GL.html Detailed descriptions of coordinate planes! Great site for review or if you were absent.
http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/online/coordinates.swf Coordinates are given and you plot the points (See how many you can get right!)
http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/online/coordinates2.swf Only positive numbers. The X is already marked and you state what the coordinates (ordered pairs) are.

*Some activities involve all 4 quadrants; however, for you it is the first quadrant that is most important.

If you have any questions, write them down and I will help you.



Please ensure that you review the following terms and that you are able to define them:
Coordinate plane, origin, horizontal and vertical axes, ordered pair and quadrant.

School re-opens tomorrow, le 3 janvier. (Jour 7)
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed your break from school!
