Air Resistance

Objectives

Elements
|
|
Experiment with
paperclips and spinners to show how shape, size, and weight distribution can change
the effects of wind resistance
|
Goal to keep the spinner in the air the
longest (longest time from release to it touching the ground)
Rules all spinners will be released at
the same height, they cannot exceed one A4 piece of paper, Must only use paperclips
as extra weight. No throwing of spinners.
Competition as students cannot affect each
other’s outcomes and thus can only improve their own mastery of their design.
Cooperation can be used if groups are used
rather than individuals.
Explanatory Feedback to justify why
some spinners succeed and others fail.
Points earned by the winning students or
teams for their leaderboard.
Replayability is created by letting students
have test flights of their spinners while creating them.
Scoring is done via times. The highest
score wins.

Not all tasks need narrative, this lesson relies heavily on the game
elements currently and this will keep students engaged with the subject
materials. Because of this adding narrative could over complicate the lesson
and result in students loosing interest. For this reason I will leave this
lesson as it is and recompile it for the next set of posts.
