Blue Team Rooftop Project Name______Period_____ Group #______

IMPORTANT items for this lab:

1.  THE BIG PICTURE: understand the process in calculating how many brick are in the wall your group has been assigned.

2.  Safety – remain on the pavers except when your group makes the necessary measurements for your wall.

3.  Follow the procedures as outlined on the back. Note you are not to start measuring until Mr. Reese has initialed the “Process” portion of this lab. Please take “observational notes” just like you would in a science experiment.

4.  EVERYONE in your group must complete this lab and all portions of the back – including dimensions, calculations etc.

This actual lab sheet (yes – the one you are looking at now!) needs to be attached to final Lab Report

5.  Group 1,5, 8 -West wall. Group 2,6- North High wall Group 3, 4, 7 -South High wall

6.  This lab will focus on Area - calculating the number of brick in your wall. You may refer to the Lobby Paper done in class.

8. Tomorrow we will meet in Room 228 (a science classroom) go directly there instead of room 203

All measurements are to be in Ft & Inches Example: 12’4” instead of 148 inches

All Areas are to be in SQ. Ft. not SQ. Inches!

List the wall your group has been assigned______

I.  Process:. Explain how your group is going to go about calculating the number of brick.

Mr. Reese must initial part I before your group takes any measurements.

II. We will be using a Unit Area of 23.38 sq. in. for each installed brick. This is the same brick that we analyzed in the Lobby Area. The 23.38 sq. in. comes from the 8 by 2 ¼ inch brick (20 sq in) and the mortar joint surrounding each brick.

South Wall West Wall North wall

Take all necessary measurements (you may want to ”redraw” just your wall and/or cross off the walls that are NOT yours)

All measurements in feet and inches instead of just inches ( example: 12’ 4” instead of 148 inches)

Show All calculations and dimensional analysis (unit analysis) in calculating the number of brick.

All Areas are to be in square feet, NOT sq. inches!
