Student Goals:
Set-up experiment
equipment...tools and computer.
Group Project, Demonstration, Guided Instruction
|
Lap Top Computer with Logger Pro Software loaded.
Printer connected to computer. InFocus machine to
display collection of data. Screen for InFocus machine.
Experiment devices such as Motion Detector, carts, magnets,
velcro, weights, yard sticks,
|
Plugs and room for connections. Ensure that all chords
reach desired location.
Reliability of computer itself. Know other machines that
have software loaded.
Printer not working correctly. Make sure it is.
Difficulty in connecting InFocus. Ensure handler knows how
to use.
Visibility is low if not magnified. Magnify for use of
special learners, also.
Motion Detector often catches "noise" from room
and participants. Use noise reduction methods such as setting
the detectors in a upright position to alleviate this problem.

Conduct collision experiments to collect sets of data.
Group Project, Guided Instruction, Questioning |
Logger Pro software |
Experiment group has access to computer with Logger Pro
software. Must read graph to insure that the experiment is
working and the correct type of data is being recorded. This
mainly revolves around the Motion Detector. But can also
entail choosing the "correct" experiment from
available list. Teacher must know desired results to utilize
software correctly.
Illustrate the correct type of graph (InFocus
projection). |
Match |
|
Create and print a chart that shows exact data points to be
used for calculations.
Guided Instruction, Manipulation of software, Guided
Instruction |
Computer with Logger Pro software.
Printer, Computer paper, ink cartridges |
All students have access to data through use of InFocus
(insure connectivity and visibility of projection
device--magnified projection needed to insure that ALL
learners can identify data sets.)
All students know how to manipulate data points to identify
specific points on graph.
Print specific data sets so that all students will be able
to keep for studying. Printer sometimes does not work...make
sure that another one that has software loaded on the lap top
is available (library collection) and check ink supply and
paper supply (all available in library). |
Match |
|
Calculations to determine set values
Learning by doing, Demonstration |
paper and pencil
Calculators |
Pencil sharpener/note paper
Some students might not have calculator. Must make sure that
check those out from Math department (across the hall).

| Teacher/Mentor Goals:
Create a lesson that is cross curricular in nature and
focused on technology.
Discussion, Questioning
|
Textbook, Lab book, Software book
|
Difficulty in finding correct experiment. Lab book and
software book didn't always "match". However, we
overcame this with more experimenting and manipulating of
software.
|
Match
|
| Establish and maintain a working
relationship with teacher.
Demonstration, Guided Practice
|
Lab book,
Software book,
computer with Logger Pro software, Experiment peripherals |
Complete experiment often enough to insure teacher's security
with using the system. Troubleshoot difficulty with each and
every part of experiment. |
Match |
| Adjust lesson to encompass gifted and
learning disabled students.
Discussion, Demonstration
|
Logger Pro Software
InFocus machine
|
Must illustrate to students how to
find advanced data points. |
Match |
| Mentor's Goals:
Direct a coworker in integrating technology. |
Logger Pro software, InFocus Machine, experiment material |
Inability to identify correct software experiment.
Inability to get experiment peripherals to work correctly. |
