Today we did a little practice with our lesson, as our presentation is tomorrow.

I fixed what was left of the lesson plan and Alexa finished the powerpoint. Corey has also finished the research paper (with my help). Tomorrow we are going to pratcise the lesson presentation.

Today I worked on the lesson plan, Alexa worked on the Powerpoint, and Corey worked on the lesson paper. We all helped each other out, like I helped Alexa make a computer rocket and I helped Corey do his intro in the paper. Corey had to leave early, so he has to do the rest of the paper for homework.

Today I copied the worksheet and created the Activity sheet. Corey started typing the research paper, and I printed out our research for him to use. Bree and Alexa started on the power point and I helped them make a rocket.

I finished the lesson plan and the worksheet. Tomorrow I will do the activity sheet and get the balloons at the store. The balloons will be used to demonstrate action and reaction forces: when you blow up a balloon and let it go, the air gets pushed out. The reaction force is the baloon flying around, making loud noises. Im sure this will make a fun and exciting lesson.

Today our group combined our research. I condensed it onto one page. I got another source from a book, and cited it. Tomorrow we will make the lesson plan.

We are doing more group research today.
I am creating a note sheet collage for our group and Mr.Davis.
I just got Microsoft Office 2007 and I am using it a lot.
Today I cropped and refined my notes, making them easier to understand and more condensed. Tomorrow we are going to share our note pages, and I want to make a unified note page.

We did more research yesterday...
I was supposed to write this yesterday, but I procrastinated.
I found another site, as the first is mostly unreadable due to image displacements.

My First Day: Rocket Project

This is my first entry on the first day of my first project...
For this project, we will be building bottle rockets, but first we need to do careful research and planning. Our group's topic is the physics of rockets. We need to find out what forces are at work on a rocket. My personal role will be the Lesson Architect. As lesson architect, my responsibilities are to lead the design of the lesson plan by soliciting input from all group members. I am in charge of creating the lesson plan and the post-lesson reflection. Everyone has to write daily blog reflections and the lesson presentation.
