DJ for the Day:No DJs today, we are hitting the boards.

Here are some amounts related to getting a degree in Special Effects, (like for movies), at the Art Institutes International in Minneapolis.

What percent of the whole cost is living in the dorms on campus, or room & board?

Hit the Boards

How to play:

1) Teacher shows the problem on the board and assigns a reporter for each table.

2) The whole table works together to help the reporter show how they thought

about the solution to the problem. The reporter needs the table’s help to feel

confident sharing the solution out loud to the class.

3) Teacher gives a 1 minute warning when time is starting to run out.

4) When teacher calls time, the reporters all stand up and explain how their table

solved the problem.

5) Afterwards, the teacher facilitates a way for the class to score each table’s

response as a Blue (1), Green (2), Yellow (3), or Red (4).

Your board should include your proof about why your answer is correct.

These guys work and teach at Michigan State

sensor that can be placed on a bridge that will

connect to a smartphone app to tell someone

if the bridge on the verge of collapse or not.

It gets its ‘batteries’ from detecting a 5%

difference in the temperature of the air surrounding

it. If it was 70° right by the sensor and it dropped to

67° right by the sensor, would that be enough to

trigger a power surge for the sensor? BV Forms
