10:45 Break (15 Minutes)

coffee and cookies

10:50 – 11:20 Explore CTE

Same as yesterday – New Prompt: Deep
I’ll collect your work from yesterday and today.

11:20 – 12:10 Rigid Body Simulations

Rigid body simulations can be used to simulate the motion of solid objects. It affects the position and orientation of objects and does not deform them like the Soft Body simulations we did yesterday.

Rigid bodies can be used like regular objects.

There are two types of rigid body: active and passive.

Active bodies are directly controlled by simulation results (you placing, orienting, moving)
Passive bodies are directly controlled by animation system

The Domino Project we did was a good example of rigid body simulation with active and passive bodies

We’ll test out a rigid body simulations by creating a chain and adding an object to the end.

12:10 – 12-40 Lunch

pizza

12:40 – 1:05 Literacy in Focus

1:05 – 2:05 Rigid Body Challenge

Newton’s cradle is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy using a series of swinging spheres – Wikipedia

This is Newton’s Cradle. A good challenge of modeling, physics properties and staging is at the heart of this challenge. You can customize Newton’s Cradle to your own design. If you google some images, you may find some inspiration.
