Location: San Diego Learning Center
6112 Lorca Dr. San Diego, 92115
(619) 358-9338
Guest Presenter: Nancy McCabe
Topic: Move Beyond the “Meat”
A well rounded education is like a well balanced meal. Although most of us remember to include the meat (textbook), we often forget the rest of the educational diet. As
a result our kids often times find their educational plate dull and tasteless. At times a meal without the desert can leave the student starved. Come join Nancy McCabe
as she moves beyond the “meat” (text) and shares some of her secret recipes guaranteed to spice up any home education menu.
Recipes include:
- Photojournal essays
- Webquests
- Photostory
- Student created tests with Bloom’s Taxonomy
- Projects to enhance the text
- Games to knead information from short term memory to long term memory
Nancy McCabe earned her M.Ed from the University of San Diego. Her professional resume includes ten years in the classroom, ten years as a facilitator, as well as homeschooling two of her
own children. Having taught all grades including the college level, she also serves as the Language Arts Specialist for JCS as well as teaching writing online using Elluminate.

The goal of this science club is to fly your plane the farthest.

Desert Area: TBA, please contact jizydorek@juliancharterschool.org
Questions:
- Why do some planes fly far, and some fall flat?
- How can you make a plane that will go really far?
Our next science club will help you figure it out! At home, research a couple of ideas and try them out. If you can, find a friend to race against. Here are some ways to get started
Check out these websites:
- This one has lots of detailed directions: engineeringworks.tamu.edu
- http://www.paperairplanes.co.uk/
(Note: This site accepts commercials on the left side. Like all commercials, they are trying to sell you something. Please don’t click on them even if they look interesting!)
- This one is a bit more technical, for those who want to really get into it
http://www.paperplane.org/
- Bernoulli’s Principle: A simple, interactive demo
(It’s this principle that allows flying objects to defeat gravity!)
http://library.thinkquest.org/27948/bernoulli.html
Please be sure to have your parent’s supervision whenever you go online. Safety first!
Some things to consider:
- Use 20 lb, 8″ x 11″ copy paper and weights made from standard office supplies.
- Practice at home, but be ready to make your airplane from scratch at the club.
