PLUS-Science Fair Notebook and a small display if student made one to illustrate their project. If student did surveys, bring the completed ones and put them in the notebook.

If using photos, cite where they came from. Can use one label, "all photos by student" if they took them all. Otherwise, label each photo with their source.

 

 

When the master program runs up to the third or fourth mission it goes bonkers.
The lego program has a well known but unaddressed stack corruption issue relative to the revolution counter in NXT motors.
I have complained about this for years, but LEGO ignores all claims

Work around:

There is a motor reset function block in the standard menu of function blocks. It looks like a down pointing arrow.
Put this in programs just ahead of the step where it goes bananas.
You may need several of them scattered around the program.
It does affect the rotation counter if you are monitoring for some reason, but I've never needed that info where the program blows up.
Putting it in once does not cure future changes. Be sure to test the whole program after any change is made.
The stack can become unstable anywhere for no rational reason each time you modify the large program.
But once corrected with the motor reset, it stays corrected until you make a change.

Directions to place your existing city into the
starter region for the competition.

1. Open the starter region.

2. Click on the open space in the region that is meant for your city.

3. Then click "import city" Icon that will show up in the dialogue box.

4. Another dialogue box will open that has the list of cities, chose your
city then hit import city.

The city will now appear in the pre-arranged region.

Please note that once you transfer your existing city to the starter region,
that city will no longer exist in the previous region it was built in.

Thanks

 

This is another mission I am assigned to by NASA:

Bob Hirshon (AAAS) recorded his report on events at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory during MESSENGER’s third flyby of Mercury.  He has now converted the recording to a podcast, which is available at:

WASHINGTON (Oct. 19) - European astronomers have found 32 new planets outside our solar system, adding evidence to the theory that the universe has many places where life could develop. Scientists using the European Southern Observatory telescope didn't find any planets quite the size of Earth or any that seemed habitable or even unusual. But their announcement increased the number of planets discovered outside the solar system to more than 400. Six of the newly found planets are several times bigger than Earth, increasing the population of so-called super-Earths by more than 30 percent. Most planets discovered so far are far bigger, Jupiter-sized or even larger. Two of the newly discovered planets were as small as five times the size of Earth and one was up to five times larger than Jupiter. Astronomer Stephane Udry of the University of Geneva said the results support the theory that planet formation is common, especially around the most common types of stars. "I'm pretty confident that there are Earth-like planets everywhere," Udry said in a Web-based news briefing from a conference in Portugal. "Nature doesn't like a vacuum. If there is space to put a planet there, there will be a planet there." What astronomers said is especially exciting is that about 40 percent of sun-like stars have planets that are closer to being Earth-sized than the size of Jupiter. Jupiter's mass is more than 300 times that of Earth's Depending on definitions of the size of super-Earths, the discovery suggests that planets that have a mass similar to Earth's are "extraordinarily commonplace," said Alan Boss, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. He was not part of the European team. "The universe must indeed be crowded with habitable worlds."Boss said finding 32 planets at once is a record "and it really shows that the Europeans have taken the lead" in finding planets outside the solar system. The discoveries were made by the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher, which is an attachment to the European observatory telescope in Chile that looks for slight wobbles in a star's movements. Those changes would be made by the tug of a planet's gravity on the sta

NASA Science News for October 5, 2009

On Friday morning, Oct. 9th, you can watch a pair of spacecraft crash into the Moon with your own eyes. The purposeful impacts are the climax of NASA's LCROSS mission to unearth signs of water in lunar soil. Today's story tells how and where to look.
