Extractions: Today, we gave a demo to the class of our current work. Because the connectivity of the program isn't yet finished, the program had to be presented in different parts. Comments from the class were made and will be taken into account. Because the Shockwave functionality is still not compatible, the program may have to be ported from Authorware to Director. Tuesday, April 10th We met before class with Nancy Nowak to discuss our questions and ideas. Nancy read over our proposed questions and made some corrections and suggestions. Basically, most of the questions were VERY high level for her students, but the material is proving to be particularly hard to test without incorporating vocabulary specific to materials science, and science in general. The question topics were separated into variables, scientific method, polymers, composites, metals, ceramics, properties, weight, and thickness, although Richard found it useful to combine topics, such as how an alloy is similar to a composite.
AP Chemistry At the end of the year students will have the opportunity to do the Chemical RubeGoldberg project. I have video of these projects for the past two years. http://www.utexas.edu/research/ceer/teach/99/Leyla/APChemistry.html
Extractions: All polyatomic ions must be memorized. You may check out an AP textbook for the summer by bringing me a check for $46.00.. Bring the book back on the first day and you will get the check. Chapters 1-4 must be read over the summer. While reading, I would suggest you work the example and practice problems. Bring questions over this material to class on the first day and we will go over the material. I will begin the year with Chapter 5. If you want to get ahead, read more chapters during the summer when you have the time. Each student will need a TI-82, TI-83 or other TI graphing calculator. The calculator will be used in conjunction with a CBL (Calculator Based Lab) instrument and various other probes. A new computer tutorial program will be discussed at the beginning of the year. It is called ChemSkill Builder. It will cost each student approximately $20.00 to have a disk for their home use.

Extractions: Add a comment on this post I took a personal day on Tuesday to be out at camp with the counselors. My substitute teacher was switched at the last minute, so I thought up a simpler lesson plan to give to the substitute substitute. I just had the 5th graders write short little notes to their teachers. I didn't, however, anticipate being blessed by my own assignment! Here is a selection of some of the notes I received:

Extractions: jas005@bridgewater.edu Personal Information Evidance of INTASC Standards Standard 1 Standard 6 Standard 2 Standard 7 ... Standard 10 Hello and Welcome! I am Jennifer Shirey, a senior at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia. I grew up in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia where my father is a doctor and my mother has worked as a librarian at the local elementary school. I have a younger sister who is currently a freshman at Marshall University studying Biology/Zoology. I was actively involved in my high schools marching band, 4-H, Girl Scouts, and dance. I have continued to remain active in 4-H, Girl Scouts, and dance in college as well as join the Student Senate, Student Service Board, and work-study at the colleges pool. I decided to go into education after my first summer home from college. I worked as a Volunteer Camping Assistant for WVUs 4-H Extension Service. I spent the summer traveling around the state of West Virginia working week-long 4-H camps for 8 to 21 year olds. I was put into a leadership role in front of these children and found that I really enjoyed teaching others. It was not surprising due to my mother formally teaching middle school mathematics and an aunt who teaches elementary physical education.

Extractions: Courses Currently Teaching World of Technology class This is a class we developed for the entering freshmen. It is an exploratory class that allows for many hands on experiences that develop the students problem solving abilities and gives them an opportunity to work both individually and in small groups. The course is divided into four different areas that we feel reflect the world of technology. The areas are ; Transportation, Construction, Communication and Manufacturing. I teach the construction technology quadrant of this introduction course. The students will be with me for two, four week sessions. The first session they discover some of the ways building materials are manufactured and what are some ways of strengthening them. They also learn about the forces that act on structures (e.g. gravity, compression, torsion, tension, shearing). They will also be have an opportunity to learn some basic CAD functions. The second four week session the students will be introduced to both traditional and non-traditional structures and building techniques. They will pursue different activities including creating a framing plan on CAD, building a scale model of a residential structure, watching videos of non-traditional building processes and researching and creating a PowerPoint presentation on some non-traditional structures.
