week 2 S2

 

  1. The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.

How and why do things move? How can we support tplay that is exciting but not dangerous? Physics Unit 
The idea of Races
During lab, our goal was to figure out a way to make a race exciting with two different people racing. The two different people have opposite speeds. We needed to calculate each persons meter per second, in order to determine which individual should start the race at a different time/place. Our group chose one speed walker and one normal walker. We tested and figured out that normal walker and to start 4 seconds ahead the speed walker in order for both individuals to reach the finish line at a similar time. Below is attached data from our testing and trials. 

  1. A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.
In lecture, we learned about how to describe motion. We comapred what our models included vs what we ignored. We also discussed what we will expect young learners to understand about this concept. When looking at NGSS, a third grader would be expected to make oberservations and or measurments of an objects motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. Kids should know and do SEPS such as measuring, planning, and modeling. DCIs can include speed and measuring motion. CCCs for this topic would be patterns. 

speed= distance/time 

  1. Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:
    1. What did you learn 
    2.  In order to describe a position, you must determine the distance and direction. I also learned that velocity=change in position/time. acceleration=change in velocity/time. Motion falls under the DCI of Forces and position. CCC are patterns. Describing motion allows us to know how to rpedit where things will be in the future and understand why things move. 
    1. What was most helpful?
    2.  The most helpful part of the pressbook reading was the examples it provided. The section of speed was most helpful since it realted to what we learned during lab. Miles per hour can work for everyday speeds. 
    1. What do you need more information on?
    2. More information on difference between velocity and acceleration would be helpful. 
    3. What questions/concerns/comments do you have?

What is the difference between scalar quantity and vector quantity?

week 10 science 2

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. In lab we discussed how we decide if something is a rock.  - coal, hardended lava, limestone, gravestone, iron ore, marble statue, and granite.  we also discussed the importance of how to asses our students as well as how to create activities that are relavent to their questions and prior knowledge  we also discussed the layers of the earth - core (heat), mantle, crust (tectonic plates)  when tectonic plates collide they can create mountains, if land and water plate tectonic occur one goes on top of the other  igneous rocks- when magma cools sedimentary - compaction and cementation (squished together)  metamorphic - heat and pressure  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture. Earthquakes Plate tectonics  Continental  Ticker, stick up above the water  Averages 20-30 miles thick  Oceanic   In the ocean basin  10 miles thick ...

week 11 science 2

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. We started lab having small and whole group discussion about formative assessments and teaching students based off of their questions. Next, we did an activity to determine 'who came first' which translates to how we are currently learning about things in earths history that occured first. We did an invesigation to determine what came fist in the principle of superposition.  - rocks form layers that become buried under more layers over time, the deeper we dig, the farther back in time we see. Fossils found deeper and deeper mean it gets older and older.  We also looked at the layers of earth.  1. sandstone  2. mudstone  3. limestone 4. volcanic ash  5. granite (shifts up, lead to fault line)  sand created through water is polished, smooth, similar in size  glaciers, polished, smooth, irregualr in size  wind  A description of what you learned in Thursda...

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. We presented our presentations today, here are some notes from each presentation  origin of the universe  big bang theory'  the universe is exapnding and has no center  stars formed 200 million years after    Life cycle of Stars  stars are not the same size, giant, dwarf, super giant stars are constantly moving  stars are all diferent colors ( misconceptions is stars are only yellow) 7 stages  giant-gas clod protostar  T-tauri phase  main phase  red giant - temp cools down  elemental fusion  supernova/white dwarf  Origin of the Earth  evidence that earth was formed before the Big Bang  formed slowly through many collisons  earths surface has changed over time  Black Holes  light was dedected in black holes vary in sizes depedning on mass  radiation escapes black holes  so dense gravity lays below  ...
