SeaPerch
Red Elementary is excited to announce a new addition to the STEM family, SeaPerch.
What is SeaPerch?
SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers
and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely
Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. The SeaPerch
Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering,
science, and mathematics (STEM) while building an underwater ROV as part of a
science and engineering technology curriculum. Throughout the project, students
will learn engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork, and technical
applications.
SeaPerch
is...
- A hands-on educational tool
- Fun and challenging
- A curriculum that meets national learning standards
- Integrates Naval STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
- Teaches the teachers
- Builds teamwork and inspires
young minds
Meetings
will be held every Wednesday (until competition) during Robotics.
Competition
Where:
Attucks Middle School
When:
November 23rd
Time:
TBA
If you have any further questions please feel free to
contact me at lplatt@houstonisd.org.

Boot Camp 3/2/13
READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU START. YOU WILL NEED SCRATCH PAPER OR YOU MAY USE WORD TO DOCUMENT YOUR FINDINGS.
Today you will be researching and creating your very own glog. Yes glog not blog! I have attached a link of one that I have done so you can see what it looks like.
Click to see my glog!
You will be covering Weather and Erosion in your glog. Below you will see the outline of what I expect to be included in your blog.
1. Title
2.Definition (only one per box)
A. Weathering
B. Erosion
C. Conservation
D. Deposition
3. Examples (picture with descriptions) of the following:
A. Deltas
B. Canyons
C. Sand Dunes
4. Explanation of how each one of them are formed.
5. You are also responsible for coming up with two( one erosion and the other weathering) multiple choice or open-ended questions.
Example:
What type of erosion MOST LIKELY caused this to happpen?
A. Water
B. Wind
C. Thunder
D. Waves
6. Make sure that you document the website that you obtain your information from on your last textbox.
**Bonus- If time permits see if you can attach a video on one of the landforms that you discussed. Or add an additional landforms of your choice.
The following links are (ONLY) to be used to complete your research.
1.Videos
2. Use the search engine to find articles and other information.
3. Sand Dunes
4.Dictionary
5. River Deposition
6.Exploring Earth
- Click on chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 only!
7. Pictures and articles of subject. - Just search for what you are looking for.
The point of this activity is reinforce the weathering and erosion concept.
Video to help you set-up your glog.
If for some reason you finish (and you should NOT) then log onto Gut Instincts and click people you know. League name: red (all lower case).

Below are log ins that you HAVE TO use to go to the correct glogster site. Just click on one website link (make sure no one else is using that link). After you click on the link select the project tab and start working. If you do not see a project in the tab then exit out and select another link.
Do not stress yourself just answer each question and you will be fine. I will check what you have completed!
