Week 4 Blog


 

  1. What did you learn this week?
This week, I learned about the 5 E model. Which consists of a steps to allow students to have a better understanding of the concept through different phases. The 5E model consists of engage, explore, elaborate, explain, and evaluate. This is a good process for teachers to use to guide their lessons to make sure they are covering every area. 


  1. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?
Yes, I have learned how important it is to have a 5E model within a classroom, it does not just have to be for science but could be used for any subject. These phases provide a great way for students to learn better, and helps teachers stay more organized. 
  1. What are new or remaining questions? 
When thinking about the 5 E Model, how can it be used for a reading lesson, what exploring can students do?

week 3 science 2

The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. We addressed how to interperet motion graphs. The big question was what affects a rider's speed down a slide?  When testing this question, there are different variables to consider/test like slide material, steepness, initial push, weight, temp, wet/dry slide, running start... etc.  Does the weight of a rider affect the speed as they go down the slide?  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture In lecuture, we learned about acceleration=change in velocity/time acceleration often gets confused with speed, however, it is different  a question we looked into was WHY do riders accelerate as they slide?  Accelerate in 3 different ways Forces have a magnitude (size) and a direction  Friction depends on... - types of surfaces  - how hard the surfaces are pushed togehter Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:  What did you learn?  I learned that even...

week 13

  What did you learn this week? This week we learned that density has a role in if an object will sink or float. It depends on the weight in grams as well. If an object is greater than 1gram per mL it will sink.  We discovered this through our dice activity also while revisiting the coca-cola activity. I also learned that salt water is more dense than freshwater. Which parts did you find clear and which were confusing? I still am a little confused as to how one of the coke cans floated. However, I do understand that they are made up of carbonation and one can had more sugar than the other. Therefore, that could be a factor.  What are new or remaining questions?  What objects/matierals are guarenteed to either float or sink?

week 14

  What did you learn this week? We learned about heat and conduction. We made a flip book demonstrating why liquid atoms move faster when heated rather than cooled. Water particles move faster when heat increases. Ice also melts faster on metal than wood because the particles are more tightly packed.  How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future? Using the anology of playing pool helps connect the resoning for slow particles and fast particles moving. Fast partcle hits slow particle.  What are new or remaining questions?  how does kinetic energy come into play when thinking about assesing the simulation?
