The ProblemExtended Day

• Starting in 2005 Math and Social Studies were no
  longer offered.
• Extended day attendance based grading
• No tests!
• All Math subjects clustered into one 5 week
  section.
• Our Seniors needed one more year of High School
  Math to graduate.

The Solution

• Develop a special course just for these at risk
  seniors
• Midway to the rescue

The curriculum model

• Meet in the Midway classroom by 810, then a 15
  minute warm up, followed by a 15 minute launch,
  followed by a 10 minute restroom break, followed
  by 4 20 minute activities at 4 different
  stations, followed by a 10 minute restroom then
  to classroom for a 20 minute debrief then to
  the bus and Arts by 11am.

34
Activities

• Two additional teachers provided by Midway allow
  us to divide into 4 groups of 8 students which
  break into 4s.
• There are 4 stations (separate locations
  interactive lessons) which have at least 2
  different tasks which the groups rotate through.

Heres an example of the Boiler text

• The boilers installed in both the DD445 and DD692
  class destroyers can be termed superheat control
  boilers with enclosed draft. This means that the
  superheater is heated through firing of an
  entirely separate furnace from that which
  generates the steam. Enclosed draft means that
  air is delivered from the blowers to these
  boilers through a space which is between the
  inner and outer casings of the boiler. The
  fireroom, therefore, is under atmospheric
  pressure only.

49
Cont. Quadratics

• The maximum operating pressure of the boiler is
  615 p.s.i. in the steam drum, and the maximum
  allowable temperature of the steam leaving the
  boiler is 850 degrees F. The presence of these
  two furnaces in the boiler permits the control of
  steam temperature through a range from that of
  saturated steam to 850 degrees F. total
  temperature.

50

51
Cont. Variance

• Four burners are installed in the saturated side
  of the furnace and three burners in the
  superheater side. By varying the relative firing
  rates of the two furnaces, the temperature of the
  steam finally discharged from the boiler may be
  controlled.

Boiler test

• For any superheater, the pressure drop varies
  _______________ as the ______________ of the
  steam flow.
• The surface blow pipe is located just below the
  normal water level of the drum. This pipe also
  extends the length of the drum, with a single row
  of ____________-eighths inch holes drilled in
  its___________.

Boiler Essay

• Write a short explanation in your own words
  about the steam process. Remember to include the
  colors of the different feeder pipes (the water,
  oil, air) and explain why the high pressure steam
  must be used before the low pressure steam.
