AIS This Saturday-LAST session for this year

All

 

I should have stuck to my instincts and NOT cancelled last week—but what is done is done.

 

Being the last class, I have a FEW announcements-PLEASE GET THERE BY *:45 AM-I would like to start by 8:50 AM.

 

As usual, come early to get the best choice- Early birds as you know get the best choice—of classes.

 

Hope all of you filled out the telephone numbers in the form for weather alerts

 

We have an interesting and exciting array of sessions this week.

 

To start off the “Yoga practitioners” that were deprived of the exciting session last week-will have their due this week. Please get ready for a fun-filled, exciting and enjoyable session.

 

We have 4 sessions for you.

 

1.       FROG DISSECTION: A much awaited-HANDS on-learn all about the frog-where they are found, what they eat, how do they survive, why (some say!!) that they are delicious food (Oh My!!), learn hands on cutting. Great for parents and children alike!!

2.       The ever popular MYSTERY TOPIC: Just a hint-something about electrons and such-great hands on topic

3.       Geography & Architecture: You will learn about the origin of the world, architecture through the years, what the ancient folks did and what we do now, what is architecture –a interesting and entertaining topic (I PROBABLY MESSED UP THE DESCRIPTION_IT IS WAY MORE INTERESTING THAN THAT!!)

4.       Robots and Robotics : Learn all about robots, what they are, what they do, why use robots, can they talk, walk, speak,  fall down and get up, enjoy music and movies, set up a robot

RE: AIS today

Hi

 

Some had said they did not receive an email

 

NO AIS TODAY BECAUSE of POTENTIAL SNOW

 

RE: AIS Tomorrow

All

 

I have heard that in the DC Metro area snow may start in the morning between 7 and 9:00 and we may get up to a “paltry” 2 to 4 inches.

 

With caution being primary consideration for the safety of “excited kids and sleepy parents”, I am cancelling the sessions tomorrow.

 

PLEASE DO NOT come to the site.

 

We still are planning for a session next Saturday. Hopefully the snow will hold off.

 

Please have lots of fun-the first snow always is fun to play in!!

 

I will send the teachers a separate note.

 

Ann-Please inform the lady from Virginia and ask them if they can pick a date sometime in January.

 

I feel bad for those Yoga practitioners missing a “sizzling” yoga session. I am sure next week it will have double the “intensity and excitement” and a difficulty level 0f - -up to the teacherJ

 

Enjoy your weekend.

 

For those interested, JHU cancelled their session.

 

Raj

If the weather is bad-bad driving etc, AND WE ARE CANCELLING--I WILL SEND AN EMAIL BETWEEN 7:15 AM AND 7:30 AM TOMORROW

 

NO EMAIL MEANS PLEASE DO COME-BE CAUTIOUS.

THIS may be too late for tomorrow-but we will try. HOWEVER, for tomorrow,  PLEASE LOOK for My EMAIL”

 

Ann—PLEASE let the Amgen folks know to hold up for you to let them know

All

 

I would like to start about 5 minutes early this Saturday

 

Can all of you please be in by 8:45 AM ad get settled?

 

They said some flurries somewhere in Maryland. It is unlikely we have any and even if we do it will be just a nuisance. So, as Adventurous folks, you should not worry.

 

We have four great topics for you.

 

PLEASE remember, the early bird gets a choice of all four topics.

 

1.       FROG DISSECTION: A much awaited-HANDS on-learn all about the frog-where they are found, what they eat, how do they survive, why (some say!!) that they are delicious food (Oh My!!), learn hands on cutting. Great for parents and children alike!!

2.      SCIENCE OF MEASUREMENT: Why do we measure? What do we use to measure for? How many ways can we measure? What are units and units of Measurement? How many Units of Measurement are there? THIS WAS GREAT Fun last week-PLEASE allow others a chance if you have done this already

3.       IDENTIFICATION/DETECTION:  This is a VERY interesting Hands on, Very interesting ideas/Experiments about WHAT Methods and HOW Scientists use these to Discover things. The real topic title is a mouthful- “Forensic Discovery Through Electrophoresis Exploration”-The teachers have done this once before at AIS

4.       The ever popular MYSTERY TOPIC: I have been told it is being readied and will be a SURPRISE (right time of the year!!) and even adults will enjoy it!!

5.       YOGA-This is going to be a treat for all the participants-While your teacher Manoharan is away on a short vacation, we have a WONDERFUL teacher that taught all of us. He is exciting, interesting, will CHALLENGE you to the extent you want. He has travelled and absorbed various traditions-COME PREPARED to BE surprised as to how much more your body can do (Or suffer pain!!) than you realize Please dress comfortably and be ready to have funJ

 

To all those that told me you will teach, please confirm your dates –if you have not done so already.

 

Cheers

 

Raj

RE: AIS Week Five-11/11

All

 

PLEASE READ ENTIRELY.

 

ATTENDANCE:

Starting this we will be recording attendance of the children. We have created a roster for the children. Please go through it and have your child remember their roll number which will be used for attendance.

For those of you that have told me that you will be away for a number of reasons, I understand. You HAVE to do what you HAVE to do.

FYI-Attendance is a criterion considered for admission into the next session.

If your name is NOT on the roster or the sheet at the Security desk, we will write them in

The roster is at : AIS - LM - LEIDOS ROSTER

 It is also on the AIS - LM Blog

TEACHERS:

1.       Some of you volunteered to teach, some or on the fence and some are waiting to be asked. For those who volunteered, please follow up-pick a Saturday and send me an email with your topic. For the rest, your turn is coming - -!!

2.       Please understand-anything you buy “FOR THE CLASS” will be reimbursed. Please provide receipts-preferably scanned-if possible.

3.       Supplies like scissors, glue sticks, pencils, and rubber bands are available. Please let me know a couple of days ahead so that I can bring them from the other building.

 ROCKET LAUNCHING

·        Some of the rockets did not soar high to the moon-some went high-some took off at an angle and crash landed, some did the figure of eight and one almost hit my carJ

·         WE would like you to fill out a BRIEF SURVEY (BY FRIDAY PLEASE) so that we can formulate a few ideas on why the failures happened. Some are obvious-fins loose, engine casing not flush, no arresters, tilting rockets etc.

·        Please fill in a brief survey of your Rocket Launch Experience: https://goo.gl/forms/l5HfOd6oIWqhNo0n1

YOGA

Some of you expressed a desire to restart the Yoga sessions we used to have the last few years. Our Yoga Guru has kindly consented to lead you through the limbering, stretching, bending process.

As some of you may have seen, we have a cozy place with great “industrial carpeting” available in the same area. PLEASE BRING a YOGA MAT with you and possibly a belt and a block if interested in participating

For your own health wellness, we request you desist from eating for about 2 hours prior to participating in Yoga-if possible.

 

We have four great teaching sessions and one “exercise” session for you.

 

1.    Genetics and inheritance –What is genetics and what is inheritance (not money?); Why do you look like your parents?  Some do and some don’t-why not?  : Learn what is heredity and genetics and why you resemble your mom and dad in many ways but are still different from them in some ways.  Learn what is DNA and what it has to do with all this.  

2.       Balloon Cars: Do Balloons pull the Cars OR Cars pull the Balloons? Do the cars fly? Learn all about PHYSICS- mass, friction, and momentum-through these “balloon cars” & AMAZE your friends

3.       Light: What is it? How is it produced? How many types of light we use? What it is most efficient way to produce it? Where do we use Light? Do we REALLY NEED LIGHT? Can you see in the Dark-Can your EYES ADJUST? HOW DO YOUR EYES ADJUST TO DIFFERENT SHADES of Light?

4.     MYSTERY CHEMISTRY Topic; From representatives of AMGEN-ably sponsored By Ann-They normally do a couple of great interactive experiments.

5.     YOGA: For those of you interested. If there are other adults in your house interested, please bring them-remember Mats though-

 

AIS-LM Blog: https://ais-lm.blogspot.com/

 

It is going to be COLD-Please bundle your children up and come into the WARM AIS environment.

 

See you all on Saturday

AIS-THIS SATURDAY-ROCKET LAUNCHING

All

 

PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR SOME CHANGE IN DIRECTIONS-I GAVE YOU!!!!

 

See NOTES FROM Ed Celarier, the Launch Director

 

The weather forecast for Saturday looks quite good, and we are hoping for another successful AIS Rocket Launch event.

 

There are some other things going on at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds this weekend, so I would like you to advise your families that they should come in on either Perry Parkway or Dalamar Street (by the old Golden Bull restaurant--some people know that landmark).  They should NOT try to come in via Chestnut St.

 

We will need to manage the parking a little more this year, but with enough volunteers, that should be easy to do.

 

I would like for the volunteers to arrive around 8:30.

 

It will take us about a half hour to set up, so anyone who's not volunteering should show up starting at 9:00.  Based on last year's participation levels, I don't think it will be necessary to stagger the arrivals by site this year.

 

Conversely, any parents who show up earlier will get put to work as "volunteers."

 

I As THEY say, “ THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MEN & MICE ----“”

 

Cheers

 

Raj

 

AIS Week Four-11/4-ROCKET LAUNCHING

All

 

A FEW NOTES

 

Every week starting from Nov 11 we will be taking attendance of the children. We have created a roster for the children. Please go through it and have your child remember their roll number which will be used for attendance.

 

The roster is at : AIS - LM - LEIDOS ROSTER

 

It is also on the AIS - LM Blog

 

IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ

 

Every week, we try our best to have teachers offering a variety of sessions. Some of these are parents-some come because we ask them to and love sharing their knowledge.

 

All these folks put in the time and effort preparing to make it fun for your children.

 

·         I CAN understand a few of you not being able to make it every week due to other activities. I am hoping that, since you all have registered, you will make your best effort to turn up every week.

·         Some believe they can drop their children off and pick them up-NOT Acceptable-I am beginning to know whom you are and PLEASE stay-the rest of us  enjoy your company and learn from your varied backgrounds and expertise.

·         A lot of effort has gone into securing the site and conducting these sessions

·         I am hoping that the reduced attendance last week was an anomaly-we had disappointed teachersJ

·         If there is a lack of interest, I can either:

o   reduce the number of teachers

o   move those interested to another site and disband this site OR

o   cancel the session at this site altogether.

·         All drastic steps which I never have done OR hope NOT to do.

 

THIS WEEK

 

We will be launching rockets (home-made and the one you hopefully put together from the kit) at the MONTGOMERY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS.

 

ON 355 turn into CHESTNUT STREET and before thr Railway Tracks turn into the fairgrounds area.There are other ways to get there-from Perry Parkway etc.

 

WE WILL start by 9:00 AM-please get there by 8:45 AM.

 

See some requests below form Ed Celarier-the launch director-PLEASE SEND ME your names as requested below

 

*******************************************************************************************************************************************

 

We need commitments from parents to help out on site, from each of our AIS class sites.

 

We need parents to cover the following stations and responsibilities

 

(1) Manage automobile traffic & parking.

(2) Rocket inspection station (run through a checklist before students can get an engine)

(3) Rocket engine provisioning (load engine & fuse)

(4) Rocket repair (assist with repairs to rockets to get them through the inspection)

(5) Launchpad operations/safety

(6) Clean-up crew.

 

Some of these only need one person at a time (1,3)  Others will work better with 2-4 per station (2,4).  Launchpad operations probably should have one per pad.  And cleanup?  You can never have enough!

 

The launch is scheduled for 9:00 to around 12:00 on Saturday, November 4.

 

I ask that, after next week, you forward me a list of parent volunteers and their preferences for stations to work.  (I may ask some parents to take different assignments, if I have to.)  I don't need contact information.  I just need enough to get an idea of the numbers.

 

 

 

AIS Week Three-10/28

All

 

The teacher who did “how to make candles” gave out molds to some children. These are SUPPOSED to be RETURNED. Please bring them back on Saturday.

Arrival Time: Between 8:15 and 8:45 AM (we have enhanced security-please be on time)

ID: Please bring Driver's license with you as an ID (security issues)-Children do not need an ID; I am not sure if you just sign in or if adults are given badges. Hence the need to arrive on time

CHILDREN will be given a number as they come in-we will call out the numbers around 9:00-ish that will help them choose whichever class/session they are interested in. PARENTS-it would help if you could read the brief descriptions (below) and tell your kids

IMPORTANT NOTE: PARENTS-YOU NEED TO STAY-I WOULD love both parents to stay –AT LEAST one is a MUST. Your interaction is essential, necessary, is of Value and WE would like to get to know you.

THIS IS A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IN TEACHING AND HELPING IS VERY NECESSARY. PLEASE THINK ABOUT TOPICS YOU CAN SHARE.

Topics for this Saturday:

1.       Making Candles-Learn what Candles are; what are they made of; where does it come from; how are fragrant candles made AND why? How hot is the flame; how long have candles existed –before the Romans and Greeks? How much LIGHT does a Candle Give? How is LIGHT measured

2.       Rocket Science: What are Rockets; Why do we need Rockets; What are they made of? How high do they fly AND   HOW do they FLY? What are trajectories? Do Rockets keep going UP and UP OR do they come down and CRASH!!

3.       Candy Experiments ; WHAT are candies? What do they have apart from SUGAR? Why are some candies SOFTER than the others? What is Hard Candy? WHAT can you do with Candies APART from EATING (NOTHING??)? WHY will Parents LOVE this topic?

4.       Surface Tension: What does that mean? How do things float? What are molecules, Cohesion? Does this APPLY only to water or other liquids? How about Acids-is there surface tension there? Does this apply to SOLIDS?

5.       GEOGRAPHY (DR. Shanti): YES THIS is SCIENCE too!! Have you ever wondered why, for example, South America will fit snugly around Africa? Did the Earth always have 7 continents? Is Mt. Everest's summit really the farthest point from the center of the Earth? Why are some countries more prone to earthquakes and volcanoes than others? Is "Sahara" the largest desert in the world?

Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys, girls, Young adults - - -

 

 

If Possible TRY to get to the site by 8:45 TO 8:50 AM-I HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MAKE, YOUR TEACHERS NEED ALL THE TIME THEY CAN.

 

I AM TOLD BY DR. K THAT A LITTLE MORE THAN A FEW OF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE PROJECT FORMS. PLEASE HURRY UP AND DO SO.

 

THE PUROSE OF ENCOURAGING YOUR CHILD TO WORK AND COMPLETE A PROJECT, IS FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW, JUST THAT-TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO WORK N A PROJECT, WHAT IT TAKES TO COMPLETE A PROJECT, HOW TO GO ABOUT OBTAINING INFORMATION AND HOW TO PUT THEM TOGETHER IN A LOGICAL MANNER AND PRESENT PUBLICLY AND ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND FEEL  A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT.

 

SO GUIDE THEM, HELP THEM, ENCOURAGE THEM, SPEND SOME TIMEWITH THEM TO GET IT ACCOMPLISHED.

 

WE HAVE FIVE GREAT TOPICS FOR YOU:

1.       CANDY EXPERIMENTS (Dr. SAILAJA)-PART II;  The CANDY DOCTOR is a long way from getting done; She has 15 more experiments to complete –should b e a running SAGA. Folks with a SWEET TTOTH-your chance to "guiltlessly" eat candies in the name of Science!!

 

2.    HEREDITY, GENETICS & DNA (DR. THARUN): a MOUTHFUL--!! Learn what heredity is, what genetics is,  and why you resemble your mom and dad in many ways but are still different from them in some ways.  Learn what is DNA and what it has to do with all this.  Where is DNA used?
