 Paula Polume

( Gr 9 and 10 Mathematics)
General Overview:
As I am a beginner myself; I chose a simple scratch project - introduction to the Cartesian plane.
Concepts and skills I would like my students to achieve are:
1. Directions
(positive / negative numbers, directed numbers)
2. Location of a point
(coordinates)
3. Connection of points
(form a polygon, triangle)

My challenges using scratch are to include more codes;  to use, the x, y variables correctly to show or project coordinates, to cover  other concepts in graphs; or trigonometry ( SOHCAHTOA) or the Pythagoras theorem etc..


Here's a snap shot of what I have done.]]> 2021-07-20 03:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655560220 Projectile motion https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655646209 1. Grade 11 Physics - Range, height, displacement, horizontal and vertical speed and velocity, time taken, impact velocity
2. Mathematics - Trigonometry, Pythagoras's theorem and quadratic equation
3. Technology - Digital technology using scratch to illustrate concepts visually and analyze them in different and interesting ways making teaching and learning more effective and dynamic.
Challenges:
The teacher should be digitally fluent in scratch by creating more experience for himself/herself before delivering the project to students. Availability of computers with internet connections may not be readily available for students use due to the way school time table is structured.

The topic leads the students to cover related topics like: 1. Area 2. Perimeter 3. Interior and Exterior angles 4. Number of sides of a polygon 5. Number of triangles formed in a polygon 6. How to draw polygons Connections: There is a connection between the following STEM disciplines: 1. Design and Technology – students start learning the basics of technical drawing in grade 9 by drawing the types of polygons. 2. Mathematics – plane shapes, area, perimeter, angles, number of sides, number of triangles formed. 3. Technology – using scratch to do animations on the types of polygons. I will be modifying an existing scratch project on Polygons. Benefits of using Scratch: - enables students to create projects that express their ideas. - helps students to communicate ideas in different subject areas. - helps to develop fluency through exploration and experience. - provides opportunities for deeper learning. Below is a snapshot of the scratch project that will be modified: https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655648815 2021-07-20 05:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655648815 Gr 11 Physics Class Topic: Scalar and Vector Quantities https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655655795 By: James HARRISON

The project am working on is for students to differentiate the terms DISTANCE and DISPLACEMENT as scalar and vector quantities respectively using scratch. The screenshot attached here is just an incomplete version of my example.

The example;
 "Dancy runs 20km east turns right runs 10km south turns right then runs 20km west and finally turns right runs 5km north. What is her total distance covered and her displacement?" 
To answer the question students will apply basic mathematics of adding and subtracting while the physics interpretation of the problem will involve direction calculations which will finally be used to identify the difference between distance and displacement as scalar and vectors respectively .

The Grade 11 STEM Disciplines that are involved in this project include;
1. Mathematics - Graphs and Functions, Bearing and angles, number application...
2. Science - Force and Motion, Energy, Kinematics (projectile motion and circular motion)
3. Design & Technology - Lines and sketches and of course the Scratch Application and coding.

Challenges 
Using the scratch application is a challenge to the students especially in the coding area. For the project to attract students' interest, the coding must be understood. It will be a struggle in the first place but they students will only enjoy the outcome of the project if there is perseverance and determination in individuals/group. 
Another challenge that may arose if the facilities are there to use the scratch program.
Here is the screenshot.

Curriculum connection
Grade 11 Physics Syllabus
Unit 11.2 Motion (Kinematics).
Topic: Projectile Motion
Target Audience
The target audiences for this project are  the grade 11 physics students.

This project can be also done in an open air, where students can see the clear picture of how the object moves in an parabolic pathway.
Examples:
a) Throwing object into the space.
b) Hitting a base ball/cricket ball
c) Launching object from a launcher
The Outcomes of this project
Students will be able to:
1. Calculate the time taken to reach the maximum height as well as the total time of flight in a projectile path
2. Calculate the maximum height reach by the object as it launched at an angle.
3. Calculate the range or the horizontal distance the object moves
STEM CONCEPTS COVERED:
1. SCIENCE:
The projectile motion, the acceleration due to gravity, Equations of motion
2.MATHEMATICS
Recording time or  by calculating it, calculating the maximum height and range or horizontal distance, resolving into component (ie vertical & horizontal velocity), Measuring horizontal distance using tape measure.
3.TECHNOLOGY
Using scratch program (software) to make object moves in a parabolic pathway.
4. ENGINEERING
The engineering part could be designing & modification of launcher depending of whatever object the students wish to launch into the space and do the recording.
CHELLENGES:
The challenges that the students will face are;
1. Lack of Technology-it will take some times for students to understanding the Scratch program and know how to play with it. Creativity will come in wants they know how to use the program, 
2. Limited resources like the number of computers in the computer labs
3. Designing & modifying a suitable launcher.

with intentions to address:
  • Mathematics- development of directed number rules

  • Technology- interpreting and using scratch coding as the basic tool to exploring directed number rules

  • Engineering- designing the scratch project that should best represent the basic addition and subtraction rules of directed numbers.
  • By using Scratch in this project, students would be given a better visual awareness of the effects of adding and subtracting directed numbers 
  • Students work in groups to explore the effects of adding and subtracting directed numbers. with activities to answer these Key questions:

  • How are directed numbers represented on the Cartesian plane
  • What happens if a movement is repeated in the opposite direction?
  • Where does the object end up if the opposite number is greater than the other?
  • Where does the object end up if the numbers are moved in the same direction?
  • This simple animation should demonstrate and reflect students understanding of directed numbers and basic computer coding.
  • This Scratch project should provide virtual reality of subtracting and adding directed numbers and convenient for schools with less space. 
  • This project on the other hand could be limited to the availability of digital technology and the target population in the school.
The expected project would be a modified version of leaping frog project.

Grade 11- General Mathematics
Learning Outcomes:
1. Students should be able to use scratch software through coding to,
a) Identify the main reference point on  the Compass Ross
b) Identify the size of  each revelution needed to face another direction.
c) Calculate the distance travelled using the trigonometric ratios by formulating simple 
right angle triangles.
d) Maintain proper movemovent from one event to the other.

* The Compass ross  is used to identify main referemce points as East,West,North, South and also other smaller reference points.
* It is is  mainly used in trigonometry for calculating unknown angles 
and distances of an object.
Thus ideas can be demonstrated clearly using coding in the scratch program
to move an object from one end to the other .

students Learning intentions (outcomes)
1. correctly measure and record the masses of irregular objects
2. read and take measurements (displaced volume and determine volume of object)
3. calculate density of selected irregular objects
4. learn and do simple coding on scratch

STEM Concepts covered:
Science: volume, mass, density calculations
Mathematics: measurements, calculations
Technology: design thinking, digital technology (introduced to scratch codlings)

Challenges:
I had some challenges in the part of codlings. i figure out that integrating such new technology takes a good amount of time, however, i believe i will become good at it the more i use the application.
another challenge for me is majority of students not familiar with use of computers and even have problem accessing too.

In food chain and web every organism is related or depends on each other for survival.
Students are encouraged to develop a model of a simple food chain on papers and finally use technology (scratch) to represent that. 

Learning Outcomes
-create a digital model that shows how energy is transferred 
from the sun to the other organisms in the food chain.
The concept behind developing this scratch is the causes and the effects of the organisms and off course the sun in the food chain. they are dependent on each other.
Science and Engineering are also included through the developing and using the model and also when organisms in each of the trophic levels.
The students knowledge is demonstrated through the designing of the food chain model using the scratch technology.]]> 2021-07-20 08:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655774121 Name: Philomena https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655781887 Topic: Speed and Acceleration

The Grade 11 Physics students will see that the ball will not move at first and later it moved as a result of the person kicking it and this will enhance the idea involved in Newton’s First Law of Motion.

Unit 11. 3 - Force and Motion

Foreword
I did this earlier before 5 pm but just noticed it didn't show on the padlet so am redoing. The SCRATH application is new to me but am enjoying the challenge. Obviously we all can concur that one can get better with time.

About the Scratch Project
My project is based on the assessment of momentum and energy conservations when two bodies collide. The two balls of varying masses will travel at different speeds (the heavier one being slower) and collide at some point where they will rebound in the opposite direction.

Conservation of Momentum
If a body of known mass travels with an initial known velocity collides into another known mass and rebounds at a known velocity, the rebound velocity of the second mass can be deduced. The same is true if velocities are provided and the mass of the second mass is unknown.

Conservation of Energy
Students can further calculate the initial net kinetic energy of the masses and compare  values to the final net kinetic energies to notice a loss (in inelastic collision). This loss in kinetic energy is attributed  to the conversion of Kinetic energy to other forms of energies such as  heat and sound.

Integration of STEM
Science (Conservation of momentum and energy) , Technology ( SCRATCH Coding) and Mathematics (momentum and speed calculations) are integrated neatly.

Challenges
1. The  primary challenge will be on my part to master the SCARTH program and consistently use it across many topics to aid and enhance teaching  and learning.
2. Another notable challenge will be for me to reserve energy and time to develop SCRATCH projects in an already tight academic timetable I have.
3. I'd love to challenge students to use SCRATCH to animate specific  Physic concepts to amplify their coding abilities ( or at least give them a head-start) but that will depend on computer accessibility. An android version of SCRATCH will help  since about 90% of my students have phones. ]]> 2021-07-20 13:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655937160 Frieda Otima https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655988073 Unit 12.2 (OBE Syllabus)
Topic: Temperature and Thermal dynamics (Introduction)

Big Idea
Concepts
Matter, Particles, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Internal Energy, Heat Energy, Thermal Energy, Temperature

Focus: 
 - Students to learn, understand differentiate and appreciate the links of the concepts
- That the intermolecular force is responsible for the molecular structure and behavior of the particle. this in turn produces Ek & Ep hence Thermal energy

Scratch Challenge
- using the relevant codes to create an effective coding ]]> 2021-07-20 14:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655988073 Warendo Peter https://padlet.com/user_52a0cf88c00a46c28e1108d3df87a5f4_69839_1/dt9nr24ot9gt0l8i/wish/1655992520 Topic: Water Molecule
Unit 11.2 Chemical Bonding (Chemistry)
Key question:
How water molecule is formed?
Concepts involved: 
- Types of bonding.
- ways of forming compounds. 
-what happens when atoms react.
-reactions between non metals alone and between metals and non metals.

Scratch approach is an effective tool/technology that can be used in enhancing student learning as well as teachers' abilities in digital technologies. 
Using new technologies can be challenging however having more practices can help make us better at it.
