HW 9-8, Graphing stories & Book Covers

Complete the graphing stories activity if unfinished in class.

1. Graph each set of data
2. Write a short scenario that explains each set of data.
3. Identify what is plotted on each axis

What's the point?  Data is useless unless we can extract meaning from it.  This is a skill that needs practice.

HW 9-5: Collaboration Rubrics

Great job on the Passing Period Presentations!  Those we didn't get to, thanks for your patience, you'll present first thing Monday.

Homework tonight, all periods:
Collaboration rubrics (use the links if you need more)

• 1 self-evaluation
• 1 for each partner

How well did you work together over the past two days?  Use the rubric to reflect and circle the appropriate place.  Don't add up points or think of it as a grade; this isn't like that.  This is feedback and reflection to help you improve your skills.  Be open and honest.  If you'd like, you can make notes on the back.  

HW 9-4: Motion Concept Map

All periods: 
Create a concept map around the word MOTION.

• Brain Dump: Start with the brain dump you did in class and add to it as you see fit.  These are all the thoughts and ideas you are trying to connect together and find relationships between.
• Links: The most important part are the links between the ideas.  Make sure these have small phrases that connect the two ideas.  It may be hand-drawn or digital.

DUE:  Friday, at the beginning of class.

Here's a concept map about concept maps.  :)  Every one looks different.

Today students completed the Marshmallow Challenge. <--Click Here to see them in action.

Tom Wujec presents some surprisingly deep research into the "marshmallow problem"-- a simple team-building exercise that involves spaghetti, one yard of tape, and a marshmallow.  Who can build the tallest tower?  And why does a surprising group always beat the average?
