9/24/12 and 9/25/12

Date: 9/24/12 and 9/25/12

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4

Outcomes: Work with science equations

Standards: UCP:1-3,5; A.1,2; B.2,4,5; G.3

Student Needs: Math help

Assessment Plan: Collect math work and explanation of demonstrations.

Lesson Outline: Review Archimedes’, Pascal’s and Bernoulli’s Principles > Do a Pascal problem on the board > have the students do a Pascal problem individually, discuss it > have them do more Pascal problems > Do a Boyle’s problem on the board > repeat what we did for Pascal then do the same for Charles’s > Balloon in ice water > vacuum display > Marshmallow in vacuum > buoyancy and density display

Review: Ask students to explain the main points of Archimedes’, Pascal’s and Bernoulli’s Principles, ask them when the next test is.

Anticipatory Set/Opening: Put corn syrup, water and oil in a beaker then add aluminum foil, a peppercorn and a nut to the beaker and ask why the materials arranged themselves the way they did.

Key Points: 

Teaching Input: giving directions for equation work

Modeling: Equation work

Checking for Understanding: go around and make sure everyone is getting a grasp of using the equations, have students explain the demonstrations

Guided Practice/Monitoring: equation work

Closure: Ask the students how ready they feel for the test next week.

Independent Practice: Study

Reflection:
