10/16 Class

Today in class Dr. Ezrailson began by discussing our midterm project. She made an outline on the board to show what she wanted us to include on our outline for our projects that was to be handed in at the end of class. We got in our groups and began discussing and researching what we are going to do for our project. My partner and I chose to do a project for sixth graders to learn about Newton's Law of Motion. They are going to be taking apart a clock to see the cause and effect of all the parts in the clock. They are also going to learn how to be safe while disassembling their clocks. We have not yet figured out all the complete details we are going to use in our lesson, but we are going to get together next week to finalize our project. I think this particular project will appeal to students because they enjoy taking things apart, and it will be a great learning experience for them. Today's class was successful because we got a pretty detailed outline figured out and discussed many things that we would like to include in our plan. I am anxious to see how it all comes together.
