= **Group Constitution** =

**Forward:** This contract is a binding document and governs the group until the assigned project deadlines. If the group separates, or a member is fired, the basic contract laws remain intact for both parties. However, being fired may cause work responsibilities to shift.

**Article I: Absence Policy**

Student that misses the class period is expected to complete his/her work that they missed. Can talk to other group members if they need help with work.

**Article II: Work Policy**

a. Each group member will work to the best of their ability, completing work that is up to standards with punctuality.

b. If a group member commits plagiarism, they are solely responsible and incur the punishment on their own.

c. To reduce the amount of time the group may need to work outside of class on this project, each group member commits to complete focus on this problem while in class.

**Article III: Leadership**

a. At the beginning of the project, a leader will be voted upon democratically. If a group member is absent at the time of voting, they waive their right to participate in voting. The person who wins the most votes becomes the leader. If there is an unclear outcome (same number of votes for different people), the group will have no leader until one can be chosen by a revote.

b. By being elected leader, the person must perform the following duties:

1. Organize group meetings. 2. Create and enforce a group agenda to govern group progress. This must be updated daily showing what each student is working on and shared with the group and Mr. Nilsen via the Wikispace your group creates. 3. Organize any out of school project efforts. 4. Provide communication between group members in order to help individuals work towards the project goal.

If they fail to perform these duties, or another person is also carrying them out, a revote may be taken to determine whether to obtain a new leader.

c. If a leader fulfills his or her duties, they will receive five extra credit leadership points at the end of the projects. The current group leader will receive these points, regardless of how long they lead the group. If no leader has been assigned, a majority vote will decide who receives the leadership points.

**Article IV: Work Ethics**

a. If a group member does not complete work they were assigned there will be a meeting with Mr. Nilsen and the proper consequences will be issued.

b. At the end of the projects, ‘hard workers’ can be designated by means of a democratic vote. Points (up to two points per group member) can be given from one group member to another. At least three group members must agree. The group’s decision must be recorded.

**Article V: Member Dismissal**

If the group member has two warnings and two meetings with Mr. Nielson and still doesn’t finish his/her work, they are subject to being kicked out of the group.

**Article VI: Signature**

By signing this contract the following group members abide to the articles above. If any member fails to abide by the articles of this contract, they may be fired from the group, as outlined in Article V above.

**__A Barbeque and Chemistry - The Power of Stoichiometry__** **__50 points – Due Monday, February 6, 2011 at the beginning of the period__** //Although it’s winter, your group has been charged with preparing for a PV end-of-year barbeque. All 1362 PV students are expected to attend. Your goal is to provide a list of all items you will need to make enough burgers for 1362 based on the information provided below and the cost of the food for the BBQ. The Sophomore class has $1,700 in its treasury – is that enough money to purchase all of the food?//
 * __Introduction__**


 * A survey was taken of the student body asking them what type of burger they would like. They responded as follows:
 * 41.97% want hamburgers
 * 18% cheeseburgers
 * 25.03% bacon cheeseburgers
 * 14.99% double cheeseburgers


 * Based on last year, plan that each person will eat 2.47 burgers and that each person will only have one type of burger.

1 bun 1 patty 1 slice lettuce 1 slice tomato 2 slices of pickles
 * Each hamburger has:

1 bun 1 patty 1 slice lettuce 1 slice tomato 2 slices of pickles 2 slices of cheese
 * Each cheeseburger has:

1 bun 1 patty 1 slice lettuce 1 slice tomato 2 slices of pickles 2 slices of cheese 3 slices of bacon
 * Each bacon cheeseburger has:

1 bun 2 patties 2 slices lettuce 2 slices tomato 3 slices of pickles 4 slices of bacon **__Important Ordering Information__**
 * Each bacon double cheeseburger has:


 * Buns come in packages of one dozen
 * Expect one out of every two-dozen buns is moldy and unusable. Each package costs $2.00


 * Frozen patties come in boxes of two dozen
 * Expect freezer burn on 1.3 out of 4 dozen patties – those patties are unusable. Each box costs $13.00


 * Cheese comes in blocks of 5 pounds that is supposed to have 145 slices/block. Each block costs $25.00


 * Packages of bacon contain 19 slices; each package costs $2.50


 * One head of lettuce can provide enough for 25 slices; each head is $2.00


 * One tomato can provide enough for 11 slices; each tomato costs $0.50

**__YOUR TASK__** **You will create a Group Wikispace with __links__ for the following items listed 1-3 below. Give your group a name that as well as your class period as the name of the site (e.g. BACON Period 3!!). All project requirements must be completed at the beginning of the period Monday, February 6, 2011 for full points:** **(See attached grading rubric)** **1)** **Google Doc Spreadsheet (you cannot use Excel or Numbers) - the grocery list using a spreadsheet** - **Columns and rows must be properly formatted and clear**  - **Include only boxes, jars, blocks, heads of lettuce, etc.**  **2)** **Google Doc Document - all calculations must be shown using the “Equation” function in Documents of Google Docs in dimensional analysis form** **3) Google Doc Presentation – your group will prepare 5-10 slides defining the problem, explaining how you solved the problem including a sample calculation, the grocery list, and the cost to the Sophomore class.**
 * One jar of pickles contains 16 pickles and each pickle can provide 17 slices; each jar costs $4.00

 * __General Planning of Mini PBL__**


 * __Period 1__**

1. Group selection and preparation of a Group Contract – use the template on my Schoolwires site as a starting point. This will need to be completed and uploaded to your group Wikispace on the first day. Administration of group activities and devolution of responsibilities also needs to be done quickly. Consider the following approach: You will need to identify who needs to do what by which day so as to remain on target for a timely completion, leaving some group ‘face-time’ for editing and discussion. The best way to do this is to prepare a concept map (flow chart) and attach it to your Group Contract. You will NOT want to allocate all calculations to ONE person, all spreadsheet activities to ANOTHER, etc. Rather, consider assigning calculations for each type of burger to one group member, switch papers and then have a different person responsible for Google Doc Equation formatting (likely evening work). Switch work again and only then consider assigning each group member the task of uploading results to the spreadsheet. At this point of the exercise, all your data should be uploaded in rough form to the Google Doc Spreadsheet. Assign 2 group members to prepare spreadsheet functions to do the calculations. Remember, these values must match the data contained in the equations contained in the Google Doc. The other 2 group members should begin work on the Presentation by discussing/preparing the general outlook of the slides. Be sure to seek input from your other group members. Evening Work - group members will need to: a. Setup Group Wikispace and invite group members and Nilsen (include editing ability) b. Setup Group Google Doc and invite group members and Nilsen (include editing ability) – Link to group Wikispace c. Setup Group Google Doc Spreadsheet and invite group members and Nilsen (include editing ability) – Link to group Wikispace d. Setup Group Google Doc Presentation and invite group members and Nilsen (include editing ability) – Link to group Wikispace 1. Pen/paper/calculator calculations should begin by all group members. Use dimensional analysis. If not completed in class, consider the importance of having it done for the next day 1. Upload of paper calculations using ‘equation’ formatting in Google Doc. 1. Upload of results to Google Doc Spreadsheet 2. Preparation of spreadsheet functions to summarize data 1. Analysis of results and discussion of presentation formats/responsibilities 2. Presentation preparation – don’t forget that your presentation needs to be recorded. 1. Final editing/discussion of completed project with assignment of last minute activities for weekend. Identification of online (real time) meeting on weekend to go over last minute details.
