Aerodynamics | Aircrafts



LI: to research. 

This week we had to complete an activity in order to find out our study topic for this terms maths. We did this in groups. The activity we had to do was to find the definition and the function of specific words that related to the topic. The words we had to find definitions and functions for were hints to our topic. Not all words had a function. We had to make a table and do some research on the words. Once we finished finding the definitions and functions, we had to put our prediction at the bottom the google doc and say what we thought the topic was going to be.

There were 21 words in total. We had to divide and conquer to complete the task within a certain time limit. After we discussed the answers we had to say our predictions and specifically state every answer we thought as well as the prediction. We are now studying aircrafts.

This week we learned the definitions of Enterprise and Business. Our task was to (in groups of 3) make a slide and list as many companies including information like what that company sells/does, and the price range. My group decided to include extra information instead of having plain space. At first we needed to discuss about what we thought Business and Enterprise meant. On our slide, we included what we thought it meant and what it really means.

After that we had to mark our recounts based on the marking criterias.
