Today started with a presentation from Sharon Wood on what our lesson plans should look like for the RET program. One part of the program is to develop a lesson plan that will be implemented during the school year assisted by the project team. The lessons will be in mathematics or science and applicable to the research experience. Since I teach AP Environment Science, my lesson will be implemented during the Air Quality unit.
After our meeting we began work on developing our first board. We are starting with temperature/relative humidity which is encased in the same sensor. We are also going to add the carbon monoxide sensor, which is the circular red sensor in the corner. We have to be careful which sensors we place with the temperature sensor since some create quite a bit of heat and can throw off the readings of the other sensors. Here is the progress..
We will begin working on the boards to monitor the following parameters: CO2 , VOC, and Dust. Each sensor will be mounted separately and tested to check our values against the grey wolf unit. If our values come back within a respectable range, we will then work towards simplifying the unit and combining all of the sensors. We will then set up test scenarios in different locations to compare our prototype and the grey wolf unit. That's it for the first week!
