RV Robotics, Science, Computer Science, & STEAM ELD Week 11/2 - 6/2026

 Hello Everyone!

Welcome November!!  Fall is here, can you feel it?

The Aviation Career Day at Camarillo Airport was amazing!  Lots of people to talk to about careers, airplanes, and building things.  You will be writting about your experience at the event this week.  There will be a link to all the phots I took.  You can add your own to my list or in your portfolio.  If the first doesn't work, try this one.

Congratulations to Jake, Eric, and Giovanni for dominating the Individual Make Garbage Fly Contest!

                                        


Science will be leaning into researching information like a Scientist.  Get ready for some good suggestions to up your thinking game!


There is a lot going on in the Night Sky so go check out the Space Out Friday section at the end of this blog.

RV Robotics, Science, Computer Science, & STEAM ELD Week 10/26 - 10/30/2026

Hello Everyone!

Can you believe it, we are on the last week of October.  Time flies!

Speaking about flying, Robotics, Comp Sci, and STEAM ELD will be preparing for our field trip on Friday.  We'll be working on our glider so find as much usable trash as possible.  We'll also be preparing to talk to the exhibitors at the event. They are there to talk to you so have your questions prepared and practiced.

Science - We'll continue discovering the connections between what we humans do and the environment.  Don't forget to start saving stuff from home to help design and construct your final project: an environmentally friendly home.  What's that?  Think about it and look at your notes.

Reading Graphs Like a Scientist!

The TAILS Mnemonic (Graph Construction & Reading)
  • T – Title: Write a clear, descriptive title showing the relationship between your variables (e.g., "Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity"). [1, 2] 

  • A – Axes: Place the independent variable (what you change/control) on the x-axis (horizontal), and the dependent variable (what you measure/observe) on the y-axis (vertical). [1, 2]

  • I – Intervals: Make sure the numbers along your axes go up by equal, even spacing (e.g., counting by 2s, 5s, or 10s).

  • L – Labels: Clearly label both axes with the name of the variable and its unit of measurement (such as Time (s) or Distance (m)).

  • S – Scale: Use most of the graph paper or grid space so your data spreads out nicely instead of getting squished into one corner.

Increasing, decreasing, consistant, leveling off, trend
