 * __Maine Learning Results Alignment __**
 * //Rationale: //**// Students must understand how to quantify the physical world around them. //


 * __Assessment __**

Students will post a link to their Prezi in their blogs. I will review these for completeness and correctness. In addition, students will complete a sample rubric for their projects. These will serve to introduce them to rubrics, which will serve as the assessment tool for the larger Prezi and presentation at the end of the unit. The points allotted for the rubric will be determined by a student’s willingness to reflect critically and honestly on their work.
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Formative (Assessment for Learning) **

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Students will create a Prezi about their assigned planet. The required elements include a name for their planet, the value of gravity on their planet, the weight of a basketball on their planet, the mass of an object to be thrown during a competition on earth (designed to equal the weight or force on their planet), and a made up unit of measure for distance (related to meters) and mass (related to kilograms).
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Summative (Assessment of Learning) **

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Technology: Using the blog will allow students to put all of the acquired ideas, misconceptions and realizations into one place therefore keeping track of their progress. In addition, students will create a Prezi that documents their calculations.

 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Day 1: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">How much do you weigh? (Oral responses)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Discuss weight vs mass
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Show value of gravity on earth
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Discuss weight and gravity – relative to mass of an object like a planet
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Show planetary size video
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Show calc of my weight on earth
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Show calc of basketball’s weight on earth
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Calc both basketball and my weight on planet Zeus (gravity 10 times Earth’s)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Allow groups to start working on calculations
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Introduce rubric and explain usage for this and future lessons
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Review checklist for Prezis
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Show my sample prezi and set up Prezi accounts
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Explain basic Prezi usage
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Remaining class time to work on project within groups

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Students will need to understand how data can be combined to calculate other important information, in this case speed. They will explore deeper into the meaning of units and be able to convert within and across unit systems to calculate unknown variables. The hook for this lesson is a video showing a comparison of size from Earth’s moon to stars many times that of our Sun. This will lead into a discussion of mass and its relationship with gravity.
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Day 2: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">What is your weight on the moon? (Approx 1/6 Earth’s gravity (1.62 m/s^2), answers in Newton)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Review progress
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Prezi or gravity questions?
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">As needed, class or group discussions to reinforce or correct misconceptions about the big ideas
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailors: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Visual, Verbal, Naturalist

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">During this lesson students will develop conversion formulas unique to their group’s assigned planets and be able to determine the weight of the object they will use in the lesson five field activities. They will be provided with a data sheet with conversion charts and space to record their progress. The cluster groups will discuss and refine their ideas about the process. I will circulate groups during desk work activities to ensure students are on the right track.
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Equip, Explore Rethink, Revise Tailors: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Logical, interpersonal

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I will discuss and demonstrate the concepts of weight vs mass and how they relate in W=M*G. Students will then manipulate equations and numbers to calculate the unique properties of their group’s assigned planet. Students will be able to relate there data to other measurement systems as this lesson has conversion from English to Metric, combination of data to find other information, and relating that data into a newly created unit system. Showing their conversion work in their Prezis will be a required element, allowing me to review their thought process and provide feedback as needed. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Students will have a checklist for the required elements of the Prezi, I will require them to provide a link to their Prezi so I can review them for completeness and correctness. The calculations and data collected during this lesson will be used to determine the weight of the object students will use to compete in the field day activity as well as become a piece of their final product for the unit.

 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Day 1: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Answers will vary – (I expect all students to present their mass instead of their weight)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Mass = The amount of stuff in an object
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Weight = The amount of stuff * the effect of gravity
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Use example of soccer and bowling balls being about same size/shape but different mass
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Gravity of Earth = 9.8 meters/second^2
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Weight = Mass * Gravity (mass must be in kg) (weight in Newton = A unit of force = KgM/S^2)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Relate to speed in that the 3 variables can be moved around in the same ways
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Thus M=W/G and G=W/M
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Huge masses have their own gravity (ie planets, stars)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">My weight on Earth
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">175 Lbs=79.38 kg
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">79.38 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 777.924 Newton (Unit of force = KgM/S^2)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Weight of basketball on earth
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">22 Oz = 1.375 Lbs = .6237 kg
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">.6237 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 6.11226 Newton
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">On Zeus – Gravity 10 times Earth’s (g=98 m/S^2)
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Basketball - .6237 kg * 98 m/s^2 = 61.1226 Newton
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Me – 79.38 kg * 98 m/s^2 = 7779.24 Newton
 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Day 2: **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Answers will vary – Use as a check for process and proper usage of units
