Title

On the Brink of War Lesson Plan

Description

Reflection

I believe that learners must be actively engaged and technology is one way to engage students.  Students are urged to take control of their learning.  In this lesson we used the video to provide a background context for the lesson.  Students gained an understanding of the climate of the world prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis to help them understand the events.

Students chose to work individually or in groups to research the events of a day during the crisis and then present the information to the class in a HyperStudio presentation.  Collaboration is an important part of my classes, so students frequently worked in groups.  The makeup of the groups varied according to the tasks.  There were times when I selected the groups, other times when the groups were selected randomly, and occasionally the students selected their own groups.  In this particular instance, skill level with HyperStudio was a factor in selecting grouping.

Title

Heat vs. Temperature Lesson Plan

Description

.pdf

Reflection

In this lesson the concepts of heat and temperature are developed using a variety of activities, strategies, and technology.  We began as a whole group as we watched a video and used an online simulation of the movement of molecules to reinforce the concepts and then moved into small groups to collect and analyze data.   Students were actively involved throughout the lesson with the use of hands-on activities.  It was important to have the technology set-up ahead of time so students could move easily through the variety of activities.
