MATH
Warm-Up-Question of the Day: A worm is at the bottom of a 12 foot wall. Every day it crawls up 3 feet, but at night it slips down 2 feet. How many days does it take the worm to get to the top of the wall? (draw a diagram to help you solve the problem, and explain how you got your answer)
Quiz Re-takes will be Today at lunch.
Learning Goals: Learn strategies for finding quotients of whole numbers. Use division vocabulary.

SCIENCE
Warm Up (10 min): Go to Google Classroom and revise (or write) your Ecosystems Observation Paragraph.
Learning Goal: Understand the engineering design process and work with a partner to solve a design challenge.
We're going to finish the Paper Helicopter Design Challenge that we started on Friday. Remember: The goal is to produce a paper helicopter that will stay aloft the longest when dropped from a height of 5 feet.
Pick up where you left off on Friday
Task 4: Cut out the three designs provided and test them. Create a table in your notebook to record times for each trial of each design.
GOOD ONLINE STOPWATCH (measures tenths of a second)
Task 5: How could you improve the design? Compete "2 Imagine" with your ideas, and draw your revised plan on "3. Plan". (different paper? shape? paperclip size?)
Task 6: Collect materials, build your prototype and start testing, refining, retesting...write notes on section 5 of your data sheet. Turn in data sheet when you are finished.
Exit Task 6: On the left side notebook page opposite your flowchart, write the date and the heading "Paper Helicopters Design Challenge". Draw a diagram of your final design and write a 3 to 5 sentence paragraph briefly describing your design process and results.
If we have time, we will have a competition to see which helicopter will stay aloft the longest when dropped from a height of 5 feet.
