Day 5/6: There were 2 parts to today's class:
#1 - First, it was time to finish our viewing of "Apollo One" and its accompanying questions THAT ARE DUE TODAY FOR 10 POINTS (see last class)! 
#2 - With that true story's complex demonstration of the interconnectedness of science, technology, politics, society, humanity, risk/reward, and benefits/problems, it was time to return to a contemplation of how self-driving cars in the not-too-distant future will involve the same scientific and social complexity with the 2 scenario "dilemma" we started discussing last week.
You would do so by completing the "Assessment - Introducing the Dilemma Conclusion" form (15 POINTS!) THREE TIMES by considering the given quotes and explaining in detail the many issues and debates that will arise related to the THREE QUOTES that you chose to explore and discuss in detail.
DON'T MISS THAT - YOU WILL COMPLETE THE FORM THREE TIMES TO ADDRESS 3 OF THE GIVEN QUOTES!
***ALSO, SINCE THIS IS AN ASSESSMENT, IT WILL BE THE FIRST "EXTRA VALUABLE" TASK THAT GOES IN THE "MAJOR ASSESSMENT" CATEGORY IN GENESIS!
#3 - The long-awaited solution to the "Counting Triangles" activity was finally discussed (since it was due NO LATER THAN TODAY)!
Day 3: As evidenced by the murky issues that arise from the soon-to-be-real self-driving cars we discussed in our last class, the relationship between science and the technology it creates is a very complex one.
Today, we explore that complexity with a close look into the real events of January 27, 1967. For the sake of understanding what happened, it will be crucial that you understand the statement that a “failure of imagination” was to blame for what took place that tragic evening.
This class saw us begin to view "Apollo One," a true story about the challenges that came with the technology that eventually took us to the moon, while answering its questions for 10 POINTS. (We would need part of of your next class to complete them.)
Day 2: #1 - "The Ethical Dilemma of Self-Driving Cars" video to start off discussion of its issues and the physics involved:

#2 - "'The Dilemma' Intro in Depth..." Qs in a Google Form (10 POINTS) - DUE TUESDAY!
#3 - Flipgrid "Introduce Yourself & Your 1st Take on 'The Dilemma'" off the top of your head from our discussion on the ethical dilemma of such cars (10 POINTS) -ALSO DUE TUESDAY!...

* First, give me a brief introduction to yourself, BEING SURE TO TELL ME THE MOST BORING FACT YOU CAN THINK OF ABOUT YOU!* Then after the thoughts inspired by the video and form, give me your very 1st, off the top of your head idea about what the self-driving car in "the dilemma" should do IN EACH OF THE TWO SCENARIOS. I DON'T NEED TO SEE YOUR FACE!
You will have a maximum of 2 minutes to accomplish both tasks.
Day 1: There were 2 parts to today's class:
1) After a discussion about the great importance of "rates" in physics, we watched the included "OK Go One Moment" video that you then attempted to explain the making of with the form below FOR ANOTHER 5 POINTS.
2) Mr. S. then wanted to observe how each of you specifically approaches problem-solving with the included paper "Counting Triangles Task" FOR 5 POINTS. Mr. S gave details to the instructions that are included with the questions on page 2!
BOTH OF THESE TASKS MUST ALSO BE COMPLETED BY MONDAY 9/11!
Opening Day: Today was a very basic day for Mr. Sweeten to introduce himself and for you to also learn a bit about the way things work in our E25 classroom!
Mr. S. also began to learn a bit about you. A short, simple and easy 5 POINT "Tell Me about YOU!" form was assigned and IT'S DUE ON MONDAY 9/11!
