Here are some great tips from Stuart Stotts.
Voice - high/low loud/quiet fast/slow Face - Use expression to convey emotion Gesture - Use gesture to emphasise certain words I read a very interesting article this morning about a man who goes into schools and looks at the learning that is taking place. When he speaks to the students he usually asks these 3 questions:
What are you doing? Why are you doing it? What does this help you do that’s important? I think these are great questions. They are the type of questions you should be asking yourself everyday and in every lesson. 1. Math Mates (Term 3 Sheet 2), or Khan Academy - Due Thursday
2. Infograph on Forces and Motion (Remember to use the Bill Nye videos and the library books in class to help you) - Due Friday 3. Your egg drop device needs to be in school, ready for testing, on Friday 4. Reading for the GR lesson on Thursday 5. Create a plastic bag ball for Environment Week - Due next Monday Can you design a system that will protect an egg from a fall? Give it a try and find out. Use items from around the house to build something that will prevent eggs smashing all over the ground. Make notes on your Scientific Method sheet. Can you protect a falling egg? What you'll need: Eggs, Paper towel. Build your egg protectors from resources such as:
The aim: Your goal is simple, design and build a system that will protect an egg from a 1 metre (3.3 feet) drop. Eggs that smash or crack fail the test while eggs that survive without a scratch pass! Getting started: You need to create something that can absorb the energy the egg gathers as it accelerates towards the ground. A hard surface will crack the egg so you have to think carefully about how you can protect it. Something that will cushion the egg at the end of its fall is a good place to start, you want the egg to decelerate slowly so it doesn't crack or smash all over the ground. You'll need to run a few trials so have some eggs ready as guinea pigs, those that don’t survive will at least be comforted knowing they were smashed for a good cause, and if not, you can at least have scrambled eggs for dinner right? The egg Drop Challenge will take place on Friday 30th January. We will start at 1 metre then go higher and higher. |
