week 1

I have added this class late therefore, I am playing catch up big time! I missed the first week's lab but, I have read it over and would like to share some of my thoughts about the lab. First off I thought that the Materials were supplemental and very easy to get even with a limited budget. They are also items you could just find easily so you would not have to order any crazy parts from a science supply store or have to go out and buy some parts from the store it is all classroom obtainable parts. Secondly, I thought the directions were very descriptive and that given the right guidance the students could do this project very easily. I also thought it was cool that the math was incorparated into the lab becuse then you are hitting on more then one standard and cross referencing their learning between two subjects. I can't wait to see this actually done in a classroom Kelli
