The Great Shoebox Glider
Design Challenge Rubric
Please note that we will also recognize the
glider that achieves the greatest glide-slope ratio and
the glider with the most unusual design that earns a respectable
glide-slope ratio.
Rubric
plus Possible Points . . .
Phase I. For the report to be published on your
website:
Glide-Slope Ratio Calculated and Explained:
Data was Collected (ie. 600cm distance,
200cm release altitude)
Glide-Slope Ratio Calculated as 3cm/1cm or a G.R.
of 3/1 or just 3
Glide-Slope Ratio Explained - 3/1 or 3 means for
every three units in distance the glider dropped one unit in altitude
Actual Performance of Glider:
Glide-Slope Ratio - (the success of the glider)
Webpage Design:
Readability - text is easy to read and understand
Visual Support for Results -- photos, video/mpeg/graphs/charts are
included
Submission:
Submission Guidelines Followed -- Use only students' first names on
the team's Web page, please. Teachers will submit an email that includes 1)
full names of team members, 2) confirmation that
parents have given
permission for the team's work to be published on the Web, and 3) the url for
the team's site. Teachers' emails should be sent to Cris Crissman at ccrissma@dpi.state.nc.us no
later than midnight ET, Thursday, December 7.
Phase II. Live
Presentation of Results (for Teams Invited to Present
on December 15th)
* Visual support - Power Point, video/mpeg,
graphs/charts, Experimental Shoebox Glider
* Voice projection - volume, pitch, speed, articulation, lack
of
filler words (um, uh, etc)
* Speaker Stance -- looks to audience, speaks with confidence & enthusiasm
* Body Gestures - appropriate to presentation, arm gestures,
body
language
* Content Details - the following information presented in
an accurate, understandable, focused manner:
• Visual of experimental Shoebox Glider
• Visual of its flight
• Distance and Height
• Calculated Glide Slope = D/H
• Interpretation of Glide Slope
• Description of problems and successes
* Begining, Middle, End - introduction, body of presentation
data
results, and conclusion.
