Class on Tuesday, October 14

Today we started out class discussing our midterm project. This was nice since it cleared up any questions anybody had. For our midterm, we learned today that the lesson plan we have to do before October 30 has to just include safety precautions instead of just being a lesson about safety. We are supposed to pick out a subject related to physical science and then include safety precautions in the lesson. This class period was useful to find out what is expected of us. Also, we were told to bring our computers to class on Thursday so then we can have a work day to work on these midterm projects. After we talked about our projects, we finished going over the second reading guide. It was nice to do this in class, since we went over each question in depth, answering any questions anybody had. While we were going over the reading guide, Dr. E demonstrated the bowling ball example again which helped since it was hands-on. The bowling ball example was to demonstrate potential and kinetic energy. This would be a good example to show my students in the future. After we discussed each question on the reading guide, we were dismissed and were reminded to complete the quiz which is posted on D2L and answer the discussion question, also on D2L.

Glad that it helped and thanks for your good blog posts. It really helps the instructor when student give open and honest feedback and guide their own learning so well.
