Week 14

-

 This week, my group looked into the question of why do cold drinks get water droplets on the outside? With this we looked at three different simulations. They showed us particle attraction and temperature, hot and cold objects touching, and H2O heating and cooling. With this activity, we had to create a flip video showing what we discovered and answering the question we were given. In my future teaching I would use the use of flip videos because I think it would be a fun way for students to learn and teach others about their findings.

    Hi Maggie,
    Your post looks great, and I liked how it incorporated the slides from your flip video. I agree that the different simulations help when creating a flip video. We got to see something that we were unable to see with just our bare eyes through the simulations. Students would have fun being able to see the reactions to the atoms when temperature changes and being able to manipulate the setting can create a more engaging lesson.

    Maggie!
    I loved the paper presentation that you guys made. My group had the opposite experiment as you, so it was nice to get a look into what you guys were doing and what you found. Great job!

    Hi Maggie! I really liked your post. So, I agree that flip grids are great to incorporate into the classroom because they are very fun to make and exciting for students to do.

What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have?         I wasn't in the lab this week, but by looking at the PowerPoint, we were asked the question, "What is a rock?" We then looked over our Activitymania assignment. They discussed our assessment. They went over the dangers of comparison and went over some questions from the test. Then, they shifted to the layers of the earth, and we watched our videos about convection currents. They then did an investigation using a starburst, a torch, aluminum foil, and a knife/cheese grater. They created sedimentary...

We talked about the Goldfinch investigation and talked about how there is more flooding, which is destroying their food, so they are having to move. We then did an investigation of climate change. We had four different groups of two, and we all looked into five different articles. We looked for data to support that climate change is happening. We then thought of different questions from these articles and answered them. We also created...

 This week we continued our talk on matter. We came up with properties of matter, and said that color, density, shape, height, texture, odor, and weight/mass were all properties. We then did five experiments with different matter small vs big to see if they each float or sink, have the same volume, same mass, conduct electricity, and if they would be attracted to a magnet. We got to choose five pieces. My group chose a cork, aluminum foil, a candle, chalk, and a marble.   Sink or Float?:  We recorded that the chalk and marble of both sizes sank. Everything else floated. We did notice that the smaller chalk floated for a bit but then sank.  Same Volume?:  We recorded that the candles were the only one that had the same volume. Same Mass?:   We recorded that they all had different masses.   Conduct electricity?:   The saw that the aluminum foil big and small were conductors of electricity.  Magnetic?:  None of them were...
