- we didn't really have a chance to explore the functions.
- we all were engaged with the task and contributed to the group discussions.
- function we used - adding a hyperlink to the post, commenting on others posts.

do jigsaw puzzle - break students into small groups and send them to the NASA webpage to look at different photos or features of different space phenomena eg solar eclipse, stars, planets, nebulas, galaxy.
- students do this as part of an introductory lesson to get them interested in the topic and introduce lots of new concepts and teminology in a fun and engaging way.

My opinion on The 5E Model- A Strategy for the High School Chemistry Classroom Video 

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the 5E model starts with aiming to engage the students, great idea. Gets them interested. I think the challenge is how you engage all students. For some people, focusing on the details in a lab environment may not be engaging (although I'm sure it is for some). I think it's important for some students to see the bigger picture. that is, how the details affect the world, in order to become engaged and curious about science. This would enhance inquiry in science and rely less on teacher instruction and guidance.

At the start, the engagement is somewhat teacher centred, but it's great that the teacher has given them a clear idea about what they're aiming to do at the start of the class. As the class moves on it becomes more teacher driven and guided. Great that she asks them leading questions to get them thinking about the learning outcomes. I think leading them slowly as she did helped guide them toward more independent inquiry toward the end of the class.

Modeling Planets
Syllabus content outcome stated but what about working scientifically?
Distances between planets - difficult to do a scaled version in the classroom. Activity was great - putting the planets in order from the Sun - better to stretch out and calculate the Maths of scaling.
Need risk assessment - always - using plasticine e.g eating/tasting etc. Activity may be low risk but risks still need to be identified.

# data[].attributes.body
- Very realistic to model within the classroom - might not use students to hands-on model the system, unless it is not to scale.
- Plasticine is easily gathered and distributed to students. No need for explanations for use, as students will have worked with it before.
- Students' research will be from the same website, so info is all the same, and easily accessible

# data[].attributes.body
Its great that there are tangible materials for students to handle with, I think this gives a student an opportunity to recall information they have learnt in class easier.
The idea of using pleistocene in class gives students a chance to enhance their creativity schools in the classroom, so well done!

# data[].attributes.body
The approach would definitely appeal to students.  Modelling activity was very fun, and a great way to get students collaborating. Could also help to raise their interest in the topic. Great work!

# data[].attributes.body
great work! clearly a lot of behind the scenes work done to prepare for the activity. As stated previously in other comments, room for improvements could be found in having the scale correct in the distance between solar objects.

# data[].attributes.body
Great interactive activity! If a whole lesson was available I think the planning would work really well with the research task & interactive website research, and then collaborative group work planet designing. Well done! Nice lesson plan!

# data[].attributes.body
Great idea to give groups of students a planet and the website to research their planet! They looked super cute! Great idea to make them place themselves in order of where they are relative to each other. Hopefully the group sizes aren't too big though so that student members in the group don't get bored.

# data[].attributes.body
Include the maths of scaling to ensure that students are exposed to maths during the unit.
Include working scientifically point, not just content point.

Reflection of group discussion in past weeks. 

# data[].attributes.body
- All group members participated.
- We used other communication options apart from padlet for collaborative group discussion. (Padlet does not provide notifications if someone posts and you must be on a computer to check it).
- Posting and commenting functions were the only features used in padlet alone.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Let them know participation is being recorded/marked
2. Ask specific students who haven't spoken to answer questions
3. Create an informal environment (outside in this case, in the playground)

# data[].attributes.body
- each student is allowed to structure their presentation in their own way - using their own language and method of summarising.
- the students are allowed to have some choice in which article they choose to present.
- not every student is required to present in every lesson so students that are really shy don't have to be put in an uncomfortable situation each session.

# data[].attributes.body
- building a conversation off what a student has presented
- congratulating a student on finding an interesting point from their article
- investigate student ideas, through questioning or further discussion if the original point presented is not clear

Dropping something incredibly heavy and something light? Any other ideas?

I have created a video of the earth revolving around the sun. Padlet has a 10mb file limit, very small, so i will upload it to goolge drive here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CBzp9Xz0OnyjAsHMY5x4KkQYV58oA-V8/view?usp=sharing
I will import it to LoggerPro and analyse it. Please feel free to analyse it yourself and let me know what you think!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this program would be useful for physics experiments if taught by someone that understands and knows the program very well. As it is I had trouble and imagine the students would find it very confusing to use it for the first time. Especially if they're on their own. This would be hard to use without a set of instructions.

# data[].attributes.body
In my video, it was hard to analyse the rotation of the earth using Loggerpro. The main limitations included: The camera: it is modelled after a human eye, which is not typically good at seeing the rotation of the earth from this perspective. The perspective: If taken from a further distance from the earth, this may have been easier to see. You can see the results below:

Does our data analysis have to be using a formal statistical method?

Is there any criteria for the lesson plan? A detailed breakdown of what is required or expected in each area of the lesson plan? Or perhaps an idea of what could be improved with the example assignment provided?

# data[].attributes.body
* Loggerpro's ability to capture what is being recorded (e.g., parrallax)
* Time needed for training
* Resources (do they have functional devices?)

- using different models to represent the same theoretical concept.
- differentiates the learning and makes it accessible for all students.
- approaches the same idea from a variety of angles.
