Wednesday
Design Studio: Reflect on your content and pedagogy With your Partner reflect on the following questions: What content areas do you teach? Frank teaches Physics and Jason teaches Maths.

What content strengths do you have? Frank thinks that he has a cute face which can help him to gather students' full attention and he also would like to learn new things from daily life and then transfer them to the stutent. Jason is not that cute but he has a very strong logical way of thinking and teaching.

What content do you find difficult to teach? Frank feels it difficult to teach the students to understand some complex relationships between the objects, like collisions. Jason find stopping the students talking the most difficult thing.

What do you consider your role to be as a teacher?

What instructional methods do you use as a teacher?

What are some of the persistent problems you encounter in your instruction? With your partner, identify possible areas of overlap.


 * Reflection Notes:**

Thursday
Guiding Questions I. What is the compelling question you would like your students to answer? Do you have any sub-questions to engage students?

II. How are new literacies featured in your compelling question?

III. How will you organize or group your students for the PBI?

IV. What prior knowledge do your students need to have to complete this PBI lesson? What lesson(s) would come before the PBI? V. How will you scaffold and support your students' gathering and analyzing of information? How will you monitor this process? VI. How will you scaffold and support your students' creative synthesis of information in their PBI product? How will you monitor this process? VII. What intellectual elements in students' PBI product will be evaluated. What forms of assessments will you use (e.g. rubrics, checklist, etc). VIII. What technology tools will students use in creation and sharing of their PBI product? Camera stopwatch rule computer for making reference frame and plotting

PBI Compelling Question:
How will the velocity of a falling object change with respect to time?

Content:
1. Math: related rates 2: Physics: acceleration

Learning Outcomes for this PBI:
after this PBI, the students should 1.know how to make records of experiment results 2.get familar with simulating linear and quardratic functions from relevant data 3.know how to use internet resources to solve problems they met in the project 4. gain some experience of integrating knowledge of different subjects to solve a complex problem 5. understand the process of falling and related rates completely

Method:
1. the students will be given the compelling question and asked to work in groups to get their answer to that question. 2. guide the students to design and implement some experiments to get distance and time data of a falling object. 3. encourage them to find out the relationship between distance the object travelled and corresponding elapsed time. 4.lead them to use internet resource to express the velocity V as a function of the elapsed time t 5.each group will make a presentation of their complete work and final result.

Assessment:
assessment criteria: 1. how well the experiment designed and implemented 2. how did they use internet and suitable utilities to help solving problems 3. how were the group discussion and collabrating 4. how good are their results 5. the presentation

Technology Tools Used:
smartboard, search engine, graphing calculator, excel, ...
