5/6/13 and 5/7/13

Date: 5/6/13 and 5/7/13

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4

Outcomes: Students will describe how touch screen devices work.

Standards: Modern Physics Advances

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Write up over short research.

Lesson Outline: What is Work? What is Energy? What is Inertia? > Tell me something you learned about light? What is Quantum Physics and Schrodinger’s Cat Minutephysics video > Students will then research two topics: quantum tunneling and LEDs and write a review of what they found. Discuss how this applies to touchscreens and limits on LEDs > Wave Particle Duality Videos > Quantum Mechanics Sixtysymbols video

5/2/13 and 5/3/13

Date: 

Class: Physical Science

Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4

Outcomes: Students will explain the difference between laser light and lightbulb light. They will also explain why rainbow colors are in the order they are.

Standards:UCP.1-3,5; A.1,2; B.2,6

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Write-ups on videos that explain the properties of light

Lesson Outline: What do we call the rate of change of position? What do we call the rate of change of change of position, or the rate of change of velocity? What are the 3 types of friction? > How do AM and FM radiowaves work differently? > What is light? What does/can light do? > We are going to watch about 11 short videos, during each video and a few minutes afterwards you will have time to write down what they talked about, what you learned. Do this in Pages and submit it to schoology when you’re done. We will discuss each video as well. > Ticket-to-Leave: Explain the difference between laser light and lightbulb light. Why do the rainbow colors exist in the order they do?
