The current curriculum is more inquiry based with a focus on questioning, predicting, communication, planning and conducting investigations. In addition, students are asked to analyse not only the data they collect, but also the process that was used to collect the data. The curriculum for Science 8 has changed. Although forces are not directly in the current Grade 8 curriculum, inquiry and investigation are at the forefront. Amusement Park Physics can now be applied to any number of classes as they all include an inquiry / investigative component.

  • Integration of a Nuclear Rocket Engine Onto a Lunar Hopper
    Integration of a Nuclear Rocket Engine onto a Lunar Hopper Undergraduate Honors Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation with Distinction in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University November 18, 2019 Author Michael J. Boazzo Defense Committee Dr. John M. Horack [Advisor] Dr. Datta V. Gaitonde Abstract As human and robotic missions aim to establish a permanent presence on the Moon, there is a large economic and scientific incentive for the survey of the lunar surface for mineral deposits. The concept of a hopper is advantageous since roving can be impractical due to changing geography and uneven surfaces. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) could be an ideal system to be integrated with a lunar hopper due to its high efficiency and dependency on a single propellant with a low atomic mass. The Moon has a low enough gravitational field that the thrust generated from an NTP engine will be high enough to lift mass off the surface and enter suborbital flight. In this paper we develop and articulate the concept of a lunar NTP hopper, a spacecraft that can land on the surface, take-off, and land again. These hops may potentially be repeated dozens of times due to the high thrust offered by the engine and maximize the number of landing sites. The goal of this paper was to find the range of possible solutions that will enable the lander to execute a simple set of design reference missions. While previous studies have focused on hypergolic propellants, the sole focus of this study is on NTP and integration onto a lunar testbed.

    Harpur Hill, Buxton Derbyshire, SK17 9JN T: +44 (0)1298 218000 F: +44 (0)1298 218590 W: www.hsl.gov.uk Mechanical, Control Systems and Ergonomics Integrity of the Safeco Crazy Frogs Type Amusement Device ES/13/30 Lead Author: D. Riley Contributing Authors: C. Atkin, M. Birtles, J. Hobbs, D. Riley, J. Statham, T. Wynn Technical Reviewer: W. Geary Editorial Reviewer: E. Lower Report Authorised for Issue By: N. Corlett Date Authorised: 25th November 2013 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank Mr Robert Wilkinson for his valued assistance during the collection of amusement device data. ii KEY MESSAGES • The Safeco Crazy Frogs amusement device tested is capable of generating vertically acting accelerations that can be potentially harmful to passengers. • The amusement device is also capable of being operated in a way that can potentially shorten the fatigue life of the structure of the device. • The control system allows the amusement device to be operated beyond safe acceleration limits for passengers. • The design of the foot pedal control appears to put the performance of the device and the safety of the passengers entirely under the control of the operator. • Removal of the foot pedal control function would avoid the main source of risk. • In order to address the potential for crack growth in the arms, a regime for regular (twice yearly) inspection of the device arms, including ultrasound techniques, is proposed. • The passenger safety containment and restraint system on the device examined does not meet all of the requirements of BS EN 13814 (1). iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Safeco Crazy Frogs amusement device typically consists of a central hub that drives 12 radial arms through 360° in either direction.
