=**Week 4 - Putting it all together - The** **Grand** **Projectile Challenge**=

**Gain attention**
Review scoreboard from last week’s session and declare a Winner!

**Inform learners of objectives**
Students will have to use all of their tools and techniques in this unit concluding challenge. They will have to demonstrate their knowledge of projectile motion to hit targets at various ranges and answer a few short answer questions. Students will begin to incorporate real-world influences such as air resistance and wind effects into their calculations.

**Stimulate recall of prior learning**
Review the winner of video game tournament and discuss why they won. Review the projectile messaging assignment noting interesting values. Make sure students can visualize a vector diagram of their projectiles at various points in flight.

**Present the content**
Page reading on wind effects Web Readings on the influence of air resistance and drag Vector sum forces in each direction and solve problem as usual.

**Provide "learning guidance"**
Demo the differences between ideal and real-world simulation.

**Elicit performance (practice)**
Simulator with air resistance turned on.

**Provide feedback**
Students work to hit targets - real-time feedback from simulator. Students post challenge distances that fellow students must hit. Illogical ones are flagged and reported.

**Assess performance**
How well do students hit the targets created by the course? How well do they hit the student-generated challenge spots? Can they adapt to the changes in conditions? Real-world vs. ideal? Is the intuition there? Can they explain answers graphically without solving the equations numerically? How well do students create problems? Do they make sense? How well do students demonstrate mastery of concepts with their short answer responses.

Enhance retention and transfer to the job
Have students create a review log of what they have learned this session. Create 3 questions and solutions for submission to an end of course guidebook. (will be voted on). They must be creative!

Additionally, students will have to create a unit ending summary while things are still fresh. This is different this session. Summary should include important concepts, relationships, and formulas.
