=Welcome to Mrs. Newberg's Chemistry and Physics page!!!= Link to Emmitt's STEM presentation: [] = Please check this page frequently for updates, and homework. – Mrs. Newberg jnewberg@d49.org 495-1149 x4242   ATTENTION   Infinite campus and my school e-mail is experiencing issues. Some grades that have been previously entered are DISSAPEARING from Infinite campus. D49's IT department is currently working on fixing this issue, but for the mean time....PLEASE SAVE ALL OF YOUR COMPLETED ASSIGNMENTS AND let me know if a graded assignments suddenly shows up as missing. (Sorry for this situation. I understand your frustration (as I share it).)  E-mail...the district's e-mail server has been having on-going issues all this year. Please be patient if I don't reply immediately.  IF you have a question about homework or something pertiant to my class, please send me a text on my cell phone rather than contacting me by e-mail since the server is unreliable: 719-661-5802.  In your text, make sure to tell me who you are. = ﻿Do you want 50 extra credit points?????????? See below.... = = ﻿ = EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT... (worth up to 50 points) This assignment must be completed over break. I will only take it via e-mail, posting to You Tube or by bringing me in a dvd on the FIRST day when you return from break.

Task: Design a Rube Goldberg device that completes a simple task and video tape it. Need ideas...hit You Tube...but I don't want you just to copy...BE ORiGINAL and make it better than what you see on there!

Points: You can earn up to 50 extra credit points....


 * The more transfers of energy you have (yes, these have to work WITHOUT you intervening), the more extra credit points you can earn.
 * The more simple/complex machines that you include, the more extra credit you can earn.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; backgroundclip: initial; backgroundorigin: initial; color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I'm looking for creativity and innovative design...THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; backgroundclip: initial; backgroundorigin: initial; color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Adding music or commentary to your video will earn you more extra credit points.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; backgroundclip: initial; backgroundorigin: initial; color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Space: No limitation on the amount of space you use. You can use your entire house (like the clip I showed you in class) or just a room or two. Or you could do it outside, like at a park, open space or even your backyard.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; backgroundclip: initial; backgroundorigin: initial; color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Who can work on it? Anyone. Mr. Bonser, Mrs. Raz and myself will be accepting the extra credit projects so you can work alone, work with people in your class, work with people in other classes or even on other teams. (You can even get your family involved...this doesn't mean THEY do it for you though.)

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; backgroundclip: initial; backgroundorigin: initial; color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Happy building! I can't wait to see them!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; backgroundclip: initial; backgroundorigin: initial; color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">If you have questions about the extra credit assignment please send me a text because I won't be checking my e-mail over break.
