After watching these three videos what do you notice about the difference between the methods of production? Please create a small 3 part Venn in your notebooks that includes:
1 similarity for all three
2 Differences for each
1 similarity for each

Let's go over them for a few minutes. This is going to be REALLY important to the IA next year. Speaking of which...
HOMEWORK
Take a look at this document and interact with it. Be ready to discuss like a human being next class.
Materials are selected for manufacturing products based primarily on their properties.
CLASS ACTIVITIES
9 Weeks Exam!
A Codega classic -- time to scavenger hunt
Truthfully I couldn't find enough questions on just materials and properties of materials to make an actual test....but don't worry...there will be PLENTY of test questions once we are done with all of Topic 4 (like within the next week or so...)
DUE BY THE START OF 4th BLOCK TOMORROW!
HOMEWORK
Work on TOK, History, English, whatever...you are IB kids...you have plenty to do!

ESSENTIAL IDEA
Materials are selected for manufacturing products based primarily on their properties.
Materials are classified into six basic groups based on their different properties
CLASS ACTIVITIES
ALL HAIL THE VICTORIOUS GIRLS!
Codega is out today because his son is sick
Read and interact with the handout that Mr. Duncan gives you
Next look at the page of the Guide that was also handed out.
Answer/define all of the middle column -- Concepts & Principles and Guidance -- from the Guide. This should be pretty easy once you have read the packet.
Explain, define, etc...
If you finish early -- you are an IB kid. There is something you should be doing/didn't do for homework.
What type of plastic might you use to make each product? Provide a brief justification based on the properties of the plastic (some of these have more that one right answer and this goes IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!).
Desk Seat
Reusable water bottle
Computer casing
Grocery bag
Pen
ID case on your lanyard
Headphones
HOMEWORK
Another OnShape Assignment
Create a 3D shape that has the following characteristics:
is at least two parts
has a least one convex side (that's a outward curved surface)
Has at least one concave side (that's an inward curved surface)
Dimensions
10X8X6
Codega will check the technical drawing page
with dimensions
as many views as necessary to show that you created this shape
One 3D view

What might each type of timber be used for? Provide a brief justification based on the properties of the lumber we examined (some of these have more that one right answer and this goes IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!).
High end/expensive furniture
Ikea furniture
Flooring for a living room
Flooring for an outbuilding or shed
Baseball Bat
Expensive acoustic guitar
Backyard fence
Set props for the ACF musical
Homecoming float
These might hep with your selections:
Timber selection chart
Let's talk onshape
Create a simple shape with the dimensions 10cm x 8cm x 6cm
Create a detailed drawing of the shape with all of the dimensions (this is the technical drawing looking thing). Again, this is going to be super important next year!
HOMEWORK
Create the shape I asked about.
Show Codega the detailed drawing next class!

Notes on timber...
Watch pressure treated wood clip
Examine the following websites that describe different types of natural and man-made timbers:
In pairs, you will be responsible for identifying each of the samples based on the description on the websites above in addition to the small piece of sandpaper for each person.
You will be given no more than 5 minutes per station.
Afterwards, we will debrief your findings.
(IF TIME) We will discuss key characteristics of each and then individually you will figure out what applications these materials would be ideal for.
What material(s) would be best for?

CLASS ACTIVITIES
Turn in your homework (this was a real thing -- periodically we'll have Wellness Wednesday where you will be assigned some healthy activity to complete for homework)
Trophy talk
First let's listen to this (it's only 20 minutes but I think it's well worth our time -- all this fun topic 2 and 8 stuff of course comes out after we finish the unit!)
There are also some great videos on the show page that we'll watch too!
Next let's discuss some of the properties of materials stuff
find 10 objects in Codega's class
Identify the major components of each
Then think about the material properties that were chosen by the designer. What specific properties (could be one could be more than one) that the designer specifically was looking for based on its use).
Go over the Topic 2 and 8 Test (yup, they are DONE!)
Take a quick look at this -- gives you an idea of what happens when end of pipe strategies go wrong and why they are not an ideal solution to dealing with waste...
It must reflect the assignment (which can be found here -- it changed a little from what you did last year)
It must reflect something about APWH (Codega or Melvin personality quirks or sayings are fair game) -- you get to pick which teacher you are designing for!
In also needs an accompanying written explanation about what it means/shows/whatever
It must also be relatively easy to 3D print (that means no sharp overhangs or really small pieces)
3inch by 3 inch max
When you are done email the file saved as an STL to john.codega@richlandone.org
Here is how this will help your Topic 2 and 8 Test scores:
Grade goes to a 7
Grade goes to a 60
Grade becomes a 70
Grade becomes an 80
Grade becomes a 90
You mail this assignment in with no effort/you fail to turn anything in to Codega
You produce a 3D printable object but it doesn't make sense for the Revolutions project/the teacher you picked
You produce a 3D object and it EITHER makes sense for the revolutions OR the teacher you picked
You produce a 3D object that makes sense for the Revolution AND the teacher you picked
You produce a 3D object that makes sense for the revolutions and the teacher you picked AND demonstrates that you thought deeply and originally about this assignment and the teacher you chose.

Last class we touched on LCA -- check out a real one!
Identify the two most important areas of environmental concern addressed Levi's in this study (hint -- Land occupation isn't one of them). Explain your choices.
Levi's compares their pair of jeans to other activities that are bad for the environment. What stood out the most to you? Why?
Explain the role that Levi's customers play in the environmental impact of jeans (make sure to include specific answers from the document).
Flip to page 47 -- graph all of the data on this chart.
What are the problems with this document (there are a few -- think about what most of the data is dealing with). Explain your answer citing specific evidence from the documents.
Let's take some more notes -- Sorry -- this topic doesn't exactly led itself to that many hands on activities (at least that I can figure out)
Complete a LCA for something in your house. Just follow the directions and do the best you can.
ONLY complete the LCA for this part -- do not answer the questions -- we'll answers those in class Thursday!

CLASS ACTIVITIES
Let's start with some review -- I'll post articles like this every once in a while. Your job is to read it and try to figure out exactly what core topic (like 2.4 -- Clean technology) relates to it with a quick description of why.
Take some notes on 2.5 and 2.6 (almost done, I swear!)
