MidTerm Project and Study Guide

In class today we began talking about our midterm project. Our midterm project is a lesson plan. Our lesson plan needs to do with a physical science such as astronomy or earth science. We are able to work in partners or groups of three. In our lesson plan which needs to be a hands on activity. In our lesson plan we need to include: the standards, safety concerns, ethical issues, at least two references and provide a five question self/class evaluation. Our groups will have to present to the class.
The next activity we did in class was discuss our study guides. We went over questions one through eleven. We learned that energy is the most important concept of science no matter what part of science you are talking about. But we also learned that it is the most misunderstood concept of science as well. We defined energy as not being able to be created or destroyed and that it takes on many different forms. We also discussed that potential energy and kinetic energy are needed for work.
