Date: 8/30/2012 - 8/31/2012
Class: Physical Science
Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4
Outcomes: Students will demonstrate graphing ability by making a line graph using temperature data of a cooling glass of water and bar graphs based on group members’ height.
Standards:
Student Needs:
Assessment Plan: Making data tables and graphs of the temperature of water in a cup as it cools from boiling.
Lesson Outline: Review Scientific Method and parts of an experiment, discuss the metric system. explain different graphs are used in different situations. Height bar graph exercise. Discuss results. Gather data from water cooling activity. Explain how to make a line graph using temp data. Ask students if a bar graph would be useful for the water cooling experiment.
Review: Ask students to list the steps of the scientific method and the 4 parts of an experiment.
Anticipatory Set/Opening: Show several slides of graphs.
Key Points: Graphs can be used to make data easier to understand.
Teaching Input: Ask review questions, give directions for 2 activities
Modeling: Show students how to gather data and how to set the scale for their graphs.
Checking for Understanding: Ask students to repeat directions in their own words, look through students’ graphs.
Guided Practice/Monitoring: Watch students as they arrange their data into tables and make graphs using the data.
Closure: Ask students if a bar graph would be useful for the temperature cooling activity.
Independent Practice: Read Ch. 15 Sec 1 pgs. 450-456
