Astronomy Seminar

I think this seminar was a very interactive way to teach teachers about the stars. I learned a lot of new information about stars. I learned that stars are made up of hydrogen and how stars are classified into lower and higher groups. People have asked questions good questions about how long stars live and can a star fall into a middle class grouping. The seminar is a really neat way of interacting and using it online. I have never done something like this and I would love to do it again. I think the inteactive buttons such as thed stamps and the applause are great ways for people to interact in the discussion.

Citric Acid Activity

This activity was a good way for students to test the level of baking soda with different citric acids. The lime juice had the most acid in it as well as the grapefruit. I think this is an important activity to show about how different fruits have different citric levels. I think this lab worked out great I liked the fact that the directions were easy to follow except when we did the actual fruit extractions. I this activity would be great for students because they are learning about nutrition and a great hands on activity.

Nutrition

This activity taught me how to plan nutrish meals and to pay attenttion to what foods are fatty. I think this was an interested use of technology with an activity. I think students would love learning this activity because it is hands on and they are actual learning about calories, fats, and proteins. I think students need hands on activities to learn from. I think they learn much better if the activity is hands on and they can figure it on their own. I enjoyed figuring this activity out and I think students will too.

The Safety Game

I think this activity is a really good way to teach science safety. I think they will rememeber what they have learned and enjoy playing the game over and over to make sure they remember their science safety. I think they can also enjoy making the safety board so they can personalize their board and make it their own. I thought this activity was a great way to interact with their peers while learning science at the same time.

Temperature Repsonse Time

In this lab activity, our group experienced some technical diffculty with our calculator. My group did not get a chance to do a graph because we struggled with working the temperature calculations. I think the lab was a good excerise in showing how fast water can cool or heat up. I think this lab is a great way to use technology with science. I will keep on using technology even though sometimes it is frustrating to figure out or when it is not working properly.
