Do Investigation with Student Directions (brief version since I will already have done most of the others)

Motion Sensor-
Introduce Motion Sensor Discuss settings and parts Activity we will discover how the motion sensor works (Purpose is to discover how the motion sensor works) Set Up Integrate Math Standards so not only are students learning how to use this powerful piece of equipment they will be using math standards in real world (measure meters with meter stick, benchmarking using meters, working cooperatively, operating the computer software, collecting real world data, examining real world data and making sense of it, practicing following directions.

Groups will: 1. Set up motion sensors 2. Connect to computer and launch Logger Lite Software 3. Use the meter stick to measure benchmarks of one meter, two meters, three meters with masking tape on the floor. 4. Group Roles: Three members will be the collectors and one will be the mover in front of the sensor 5. Place Cards face down and the member direct the mover to move that amount. 6. Stop and draw conclusions about data 7. After we have drawn conclusions about how the sensor works we will use the feature that allows users to match the path. 8. Discuss how this could be used in classroom.

I think we will do an investigation for potential and kinetic energy use the PHET Simulation first then do the investigation from Vernier:

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">look at more advanced printing features name and stuff

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">Then look at opening up graphs in new window

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">Add a page

adding a gauge

examine feature

delete data set

Change the data collection time set

Shake cools down faster

also give them diigo account for STEM

Time to correlate activity with standards

Set Up sensors Experiment Setup, sensors show all interfaces

Multiple Window so we will be collecting from two sources for the heat

Show try engineer or PHET

Management: hooking more than one probe up

using a simulation with a probe

Let's look at the lessons on server and create lesson matching with science and math standards

We could do the sun on the globe activity but it is middle school.

What will the lesson be:
