10th, 11th, and 12th Grade Guiding Questions

2015-2016

Investigate the World

What makes your questions globally relevant? It allows for the safe passge of
passengers on airplanes. It is an advantage towards us and especially to the
Canadian airlines. The ideal gas law allows for the approximation of pressure
and and volume of gas whichare essential for airplane cabins.
Where did your evidence lead you? Our research lead us to understand the
effects of the ideal gas law and how it makes airplane flight possible.
How have your sources influenced your position? We came into the position
with fundamental knowledge, so as a result our opinion wasnt swayed due to
our research but was actually strenghthened as a result.
Recognize Perspectives

What was your original perspective on this topic? We believed that the ideal
gas law was a heavily important gas law. So we expected the law to be
heavily relevant towards the world.
How did your views change after exploring other perspectives? Our views
relatively stayed the same but we did see that the ideal gas law makes life
more comfortable for most people wheter traveling or being in a enclosed
areain which gases must be maintained at a certain temperature.
Communicate Ideas

How did your intended audience affect the way you presented your findings?
Due to our audience being relatively knew or having a very basic
understanding of the ideal gas law we presented our findings in a very
pedestrian form of writng in which it is easy to understand how and why the
additions to the air cabin and the plane affect the variables such as amounts
of oxygen and pressure whithin the cabin.
How did knowing your audience affect which tool you chose to use to
communicate your ideas? As a researcher we understood that the
presentation of new ideas are at times hard to convey in presenetation
formats. So in order to help with this we used basic language and the usage
of a real world exxapmle in order to successfully convey this to the audience.
Explain how you were successful at conveying your ideas. Due to our deep
understanding of the underlying topic, we were able to succefully
communicate the idea towards our audience in a way in which they not only
understood why but as to how it affected the variables.
Take Action

In what ways have you taken action with this project to improve conditions in
your life, community, and the world? It affects the world by allowing people to
travel is a more sustainable and comfortable for passengers.
How will you continue to apply what you learned from your project to improve
conditions in your life, community and the world? We will continue to use our
knowledge to improve flight comfort for passengers
