The Crow and the Pitcher -- Day 3

Better news is that 62.2% of the students completed last night's homework assignment (Revise your Desmos Crow and Pitcher Graph) before the start of classes.  Improved from 25% a month ago, but still room for improvement.

The first 5-10 minutes of class were used to make any necessary corrections on the most recent graph. Afterwards, we reviewed the lab questions, located in students' MTN's. Some very good discussions about observations and limitations arose from their responses.

Then a Scientific Conclusion Paragraph Scaffold was given to students (this is the same template used by Ms Drennan-Doiron in science). This template will be used to draft their conclusion paragraph about the Crow and Pitcher Lab. Students will have class time to write their final conclusion paragraph during class time tomorrow.


HOMEWORK:

  • If you have not yet shared your revised Crow.Pitcher(add your name) graph, DO IT NOW.
  • Complete the Scientific Conclusion Paragraph Scaffold (This is a 1st draft).
