Khan Academy

1) It was very organized and I suppose that this video very easily flowed from what was going on in the last one.
2) What works well for me in the video is the fact that the main points of the lesson are titled with different colors.
3) It is confusing how the focus on the lesson goes all the way from the beginning of reconstruction to the beginning of the great depression and the times that these had occured at were so far apart. The lessons in history should be assigned by the years that the events occur not by summarizing the largest and most important events that occur. 
4) Flipping the classroom would only work in a few situations and it really depends on how much the students are willing to learn and how much time that they want to put in. It would work if the children would actually focus on the videos without getting destracted without a teacher being able to keep them in line and paying attention.

1) The 3-D CAD function that should be used to create a wire coat hanger is the fillets.
2) You would use the holes in order to create a 3-D representation of a spindle that was created on a wood lathe.
3) The 3-D CAD solid making keeps track of the things that you do and saves them.
4) The way that you would be able to fix a mistake that you had previously made without using the undo function would be by pressing Ctrl+z.

Glider Challenge

Glider Challange

1.  The activity that we were doing was to create planes made out of paper and bolsa wood and we were supposed to follow the directions to make the plane. I worked with both Timmy and Jack. The problems that we ran into were that the plane was to fragile.

2. 
3. 
4.  I wasn't present for many of the times that we had tested it but when they did test it, it had broke because it was so fragile or because were weren't using the right type of glue.
5.  Our plane flew the farthest. And that is the only achievment that we won.
6.  We brainstormed, modeled, and prototyped.
