Duration: 120 minutes

Assessments: Student writing

 

Description

Students will work on a script to describe their project and also the physics involved during this time. Here is the background for what should be done during their presentation
***Presentation skills (eye contact to the audience, not reading off of script primarily, good posture, etc.) has been stressed in all classes previously, and will be used to strengthen their presentation of their work***

OUR TASK: A written script with COPIES FOR EVERYONE in the group is due.
o If one person is physically writing the script, then someone must be responsible for coming to class on the 12th with copies of it.
o If students are each writing your own parts, they must have a copy of everyone's piece on the 12th, just in case someone is absent.

Students will be beginning presentations during this block, so they need to be prepared – do not let the student or the student's group have any excuses. There will be NO extensions or work time in class.

A script must include the following:
o Everyone must speak EQUALLY during the presentation
o An introduction to an initial presentation of the machine so that the audience can see how it works
o A description of each of the "events" that includes:
o What materials were used
o The physics behind each event
o A final presentation of the machine so that the audience can re-view it now that they know the physics that drives it

Author Reflections

Again, focus on the roles of each student to keep students on track during this time!
