​Lynn Trevarthen, Joeanne Klonowski & Jeff Venegas

This is what John said: sounds like what you have is fine. I don't expect anything extensive. I just want a lesson that uses the web in a focused way that your team developed using a Wiki. So I think we're good. We can show him the whole thing no Wed.

Joanne: I've e-mailed John to ask if there's a written part to this assignment or if the power point and Wiki page is it. If I here from him before Wednesday, I'll let you know what's what. **__We're supposed to send him a link to the Wiki. Jeff, I think, as administrator, you have to send him an invite. Can you do that this week? Thanks.__**

I started some of the powerpoint presentation. Included is the master slide, animated clip art, and some of the slides. please give input or feel free to make some changes. for the research, i gave students options to research using alternative websites, along with the one we signed off on (it is a really good website =) ). I Should finish the powerpoint on friday at work so that we can look it over and modify it if we need to. REMEMBER: no class today!

From LYNN on 10/2 - Should I be working on anything? I am thinking we are about done....Please let me know what I should be doing. Thanks!

Goal: Students will work in teams to learn about chemistry and mathematics of gas laws. They will develop reseach skills through the use of a webquest. They will develop presentation skills by presenting their findings to the class.

​ Joanne: I think we're almost there. I'm still not clear on what else, if anything, we have to submit besides the power point. I'll e-mail John again.

Joanne: My blog's at jklonowski.blogspot.com Jeff: This looks very good ladies. Sorry I cannot be there, I am having major (and frustrating) car problems. Please call me if you want to clarify specifics for the project. 8152107830. Are we using Boyle as the main focus then? Do we need to work on the powerpoint slides? Are those the teaching standards we are working on too? I can work on those once I know the direction that we are going in. Please call! I can work from home since we are doing the wikis =)

Interactive ideas / pages

Some ideas....

Could we build a public page that had some sites were student could research the history of some of the concepts? Also on a public page we could put problems for the kids to solve (We could make a webpage at google). We could also post presentation requirements, tips, resources. My understanding of a webquest is that students research the information themselves, so I agree. They would have to do something on Kinetic Theory and maybe Robert Boyle. It'd be great to have it online somewhere. This website is a ready made webquest. I like the way the guy has it formatted (Intro, task, process, etc.). I think we need something like this. []

MATH:

http://my.hrw.com/math06_07/nsmedia/tools/Graph_Calculator/graphCalc.html (This is a very nice graphing calculator. Let's use it!). Joanne - is there any science that they could to where they would have to plot two graphs and find the point of intersection? ** We could use a rates of reaction where they plot the increase in volume of oxygen and the decrease in volume of peroxide. **

[] - they could explore how the coeffiencents of a polynomial affect the polynomial's graph. Just an idea to build on the polynomial concept.

SCIENCE []

[] - This is an animated gas lab. It has linked pages of related gas topics. Do you think we could do anything with this to full up a week? [] - An appication - blimps? They could design a blimp. Compute stuff about it and make that part of their class presentation. They could build a model.
