Sam Harrelson – Classes

Get in touch with me asap if you owe work. Otherwise, your grade will suffer greatly (doesn’t have to be that way!).

If you need some pointers for our exam on Monday, here you go…

Tree Frog Science: Indexed Science Notes: “Here is a list of all of the subjects I have taken notes on since the first day of school last fall.  I currently have over fifteen ‘booklets’ composed of this information.  Let this offer stand into the distant future (and I may someday regret it):  if any of my current classmates or  any students of Mr. Harrelson in the future would like help or in depth information on any of these subject areas I would be happy to help…”

You’re a kind soul, Jesseca.

Clearly, I am a cucumber and have a wicked soul for torturing you all with so many things to learn

YouTube – Fun Science: Light

Go watch and enjoy (and learn).

Thanks SO much to Alyssa for sharing!!

Do let me know if you see any vids that compliment our lessons in your youtubing of the internets.

Nice work, guys!

Along with your choice of 3 labs, you also have to teach a lesson and complete a lesson plan. So far, the lesson plans I’ve received haven’t been exactly stellar.

SO, here are a few more helpful examples besides the ones we’ve looked at in class:

- http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/lessons/roygbiv/roygbiv.html
- http://www.eduref.org/Virtual/Lessons/Guide.shtml

- http://ofcn.org/cyber.serv/academy/ace/soc/cecsst/cecsst224.html
- http://smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/universe/index.html

You can see that there are a number of different styles and variations for proper lesson plans that teachers make. However, there are some common strands that include a learning objective, presentation type, assessment (how do you know what you students learned) and possible ways to follow up or improve your lesson in the future.

Have fun with these but put some time and brain power into your planning!

“History of Electromagnetism pt 1 on Vimeo“

A few of you will be teaching tomorrow and we’ll wrap up on Part 1 as well. Enjoy!

Formulas:

F = ma

acceleration = Change in V / Change in T
velocity = Change in d / Change in T
speed = positive movement

Units:

F = Newton (1 N = 1 kgxm/s2)

acceleration = m/s2
velocity = m/s

We’ll be working from here tomorrow.

Have a great night and enjoy the cold weather (snow maybe??)!

I hope you’re having a great Holiday Season and break. I certainly miss you all and I think my kids are ready for me to be out of the house…

Anyway, I have a new phone number (switching plans on Jan 15th etc).

(864) 381-8315

That’ll be the last time that ever changes, so please bear with me!

Enjoy the rest of your break. I surely will if I can ever get out of our snowed-in house!
