LESSON PLANS FOR SEAN CLARK – MAR 28 - APR 1, 2015
Job # - Belize Excursion
Class Policies – Washroom breaks are done BEFORE class. For this reason, I allow period 4 an extra couple of minutes to get to class. Anyone needing a break during class uses the “Potty Pass” beside the door. All other policies are clearly outlined on the attached sheet.
Please use the attached sheets to indicate problem or helpful students
Period 1 – 11:55 – 1:10 Prep period. Please report to main office for supervision duties
Period 2 – 9:55 – 11:10 Grade 10 Science - Room 209
Reliable Students are Matthew Nolan and Allison O'Rourke
Students will be preparing notes for "Homework" following our inverted classroom Model. Detailed descriptions of what is being completed in each day's class is available on the Calendar for that day. Summaries are outlined below with textbook/lab references. All worksheets and labs are in student workbooks. Rubrics for labs are in the plastic trays on the side counter under the periodic table!
Check with Glenn. Most demos he will probably have out already as he is a day ahead of me in this unit!
Monday March 30 - Worksheet - both worksheets are available on the worksheets page - https://sites.google.com/site/invertedopticsgrade10page/home/optics-worksheets-and-review.
2.323 Index of Refraction Worksheet,
2.323 Index of refraction practice problems
Tuesday March 31 - Students should have reviewed the "lesson" on how to find the critical angle. They can jump right into the lab activity where they find this themselves.
2.34 refraction of Light & Critical Angle Activity.doc(in labs page) - https://sites.google.com/site/invertedopticsgrade10page/home/optics-labs-and-activities
Those who finish early can work on the worksheet
2.34 Critical Angle Worksheet.doc (in worksheets page)
TEXT 12.5 pg 526 to 527 Q's pg 531 #1-3
DEMO - Fiber Optics and total internal reflection.
You can show the video https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx61DkORzMlfNk4yaF9FRkxrWjQ/view?usp=sharing. Or if you are feeling adventurous, there are spouted erlenmyer flasks in room 211 and a good stable laser in Phill's room you can borrow for this lab.
On the bottom shelf of the cupboard at the back of the room is a box labeled TIR which has some fiber optic cables. These make a good prop for discussing applications of TIR
DEMO - Fish Tank TIR. If I haven't set it up on the side counter, there is a fishtank in the tall cupboard beside the door to the prep room in 209. Half fill this with water and you can use the laser levels to demonstrate TIR.
DEMO - glass Prism TIR = retro Reflector. In the optics cupboard is a bag with glass prisms. You can use a ray box or laser level to show how a glass prism can be used as a retro reflector.
DEMO AND SKETCHES -
Demo for students how light will refract twice as it passes through a glass prism.
Use one of the prisms in the grey foam boxes and a laser level.
Then draw a prism on the board and demonstrate how the direction of refraction can be predicted by drawing the normal at entry into the prism, estimating the refraction at this boundary, then the normal as the light ray exits the prism.
Wednesday April 1 -
Conceptual Physics Practice Pages page 103-104(in worksheets page)
2.43 Lens Ray Diagram Tutorial.ppt (if required to help with practice sheet) On the desktop of the computer is a folder "Notes and Lessons" that has this document in it. Some students may want to review this. Most will be able to work through the ray diagram practice on their own.
2.43 Lens Ray Diagram Tutorial Practice-student note.doc These files are in the "Labs and Activities" web page
2.43 Lens Types Worksheet.doc -
Thursday April 2 - LAB DAY. Glenn should have left the meter sticks etc out from his lab yesterday. If not, they are all in the cupboard.
Text - 13.2 Locating Images in Lenses
Period 3 – 11:55 – 1:10 Grade 10 Science - Room 209
Reliable Students are Brennah Agnew and Stephen Weisenberg
1 – Same as period 2
Period 4 – 1:25 – 2:30 Grade 12 Earth & Space Science Science Academic – 208
Reliable Students are Justin Collacut and Trent Daniel
Monday March 30 - Lab write up time. Students are working on lab write up for Meteorite Crater lab. If they are finished this, they may work on their "Space Math" skills.
1 - Finding the eccentricity of an ellipse
2 - Comparing the force of gravity when bodies are increased in mass or change in relative distance
3 - Determining the effect on velocity, mass and radius if angular momentum is conserved but one property changes.
Tuesday March 31 -
1 - Students can come to the board and present solutions to the problems from yesterday's math practice. I only prepared one of each type of problem, but feel free to give them a second or third problem for each type. OR encourage students (Davis, Justin, Trent) to suggest an alternate problem for the others to answer.
"Answers" for the problems on the handout are here, but lacking full solutions - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx61DkORzMlfb3UyYWpadF9tRFU/view?usp=sharing
2 - Once most students are comfortable with the math, you can ue the laptop computer in the bottom drawer to show the video, "Galileo was right" from the disk in the supply folder.
Wednesday April 1 -
1 - Show the powerpoint 8.5 - Formation of the Solar System - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zIAQ123_Vv8C30ze-mYmr3a2HwqPAyAORMvomJK5uHQ/edit?usp=sharing
Key ideas to focus on
a - accrection of planets from small dust and debris.
b - Expelling of lighter materials from inside the solar system by solar winds(differentiation of the solar system)
c - Differentiation of earth and other bodies(when molten, planets ewill differentiate as heavier materials (iron, nickle) settle to core and lighter materials (silicate rocks) rise to surface)
2 - Students will use the google doc to prepare a comparative timeline (does not need to be to scale) about the evenets that lead to the formation of the moon and the Earth.

Thursday April 2 -
1 - Students can complete timeline from yesterday
2 - Students can work on preparing their "Space technology" presentation. Should take advantage of having other students and another teacher in the room to "practice" their presentations on. displays will be "stand alone" next week, but good to let someone else read it, or recite it for them to test drive the language they used.
Students may use electronic devices or cut and paste resources and construction paper from the "Space cupboard" for preparing their presentations.
3 - Students may watch "Cosmos - Dark Matter"
