Greetings All! This is a formal announcement of your first project that counts towards an assessment. I give you the Rube Goldberg machine (click below for the ultimate example). Your device may be much simpler than this, however, the essence will be the same. All projects will be due on Tuesday 9/27 and presented to the class that day. And most importantly... HAVE FUN!

Hey Guys!
I'm excited to check out your progress enacting the scientific method in your How Much Potential! I'm seeing some great work here... Regarding today, we will look at multiple energy transfers in a system that does work! You, the scientists, will analyze a system and break apart the components where energy transfer occurs. Scientists will: 1. Identify types of energy transfer within a system that does work. 2. Transfer knowledge of energy types on a quiz. Hey Guys! Today is our final day to complete the "How Much Potential?" Lab. Get rockin' immediately!!! I'll break us half way for the early release video of the week... Finally, some of you have been asking how to get a "4" under the scientific practices bucket... Well, click below to see how: RUBRIC FOR SCIENTIFIC METHOD Scientists will be able to enact the scientific method to find out how much potential energy an object possesses. Early Release Video of the Week! Hey Scientists!
Kudos to you all yesterday! I loved the great discussion and participation of all College Communities surrounding energy transfer in our energy stations from the last few days. All classes are showing great progress in coming together. Today you and your College Teammates will work together to find out "How Much Potential?" in our Roller Coaster Lab. Work together, seek to understand, and use past labs to help. Finally, be meticulous when applying your knowledge of the scientific method. You got this! Scientists will apply knowledge of the scientific method to conduct a study to find out how much potential a metal ball has when traveling down a roller coaster. Hey Scientists!
Today we reach an end to our energy station work. With that, we'll be doing community additions in our energy station lab to refine/add to our thinking. Next, we'll transfer our knowledge of types of energy into our glossaries. And turn in our science journals for grading (grading three assignments tonight!) Hey All!
Today is the final day we'll be rockin' energy stations! Once again, each station has a specific energy transfer (sometimes two transfers) that occurs. Energy stations are always a favorite of students. Enjoy working hard and use teamwork! Focus on discussing/debating the energy transfer in the system and use your energy notes as a resource! Scientists will be able to identify and record types of energy transfers in 16 different scenarios. Hey All!
Today and tomorrow we'll be rockin' energy stations! Each station has a specific energy transfer (sometimes two transfers) that occurs. Energy stations are always a favorite of students. Enjoy working hard and use teamwork! Focus on discussing/debating the energy transfer in the system and use your energy notes as a resource! Scientists will be able to identify and record types of energy transfers in 16 different scenarios. Hey Scientists! This is our final day to research/explore the different types of kinetic and potential energy. Make sure to have both Tubs of Toys completed as well as Types of Energy. The Science Ninja will be grading both tomorrow after school! Scientists will research various types of kinetic and potential energy and fill out a note catcher. Finally... To commemorate the 2016-17 Denver Broncos season, and in the spirit of motivation, I give you the early release video of the week. Hey Scientists!
Today YOU will be researching and taking college notes on the different forms of kinetic and potential energy. See the links below to access the reading for your research! Good luck... 1) Glencoe Energy Chapter 2) Energy PPT Scientists will identify different types of kinetic and potential energy. Hey Scientists! TODAY IS OUR FIRST DAY IN OUR STUDY OF ENERGY! LET THE SCIENCE BEGIN!
Scientists will... 1) Identify energy in pictures 2) Apply that knowledge to identify and describe energy in a group of toys. |
