Well done on changing it/making it a 'practice' on the go when everyone would have been out ]]> 2019-08-29 23:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378492702 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378493343 Students engaged in video.

- Why is it important that we learn about mars?
- These kids seem pretty aware of the problems on our planet... I'm thinking we could show them a video at the end of the unit about why we SHOULDN'T colonise Mars, that will be leaving them with a provocation and something to consider (i.e., let's not destroy this planet then we don't have to move to mars) https://www.ted.com/talks/lucianne_walkowicz_let_s_not_use_mars_as_a_backup_planet
- What is a colony? Great point. ]]> 2019-08-29 23:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378494171 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378494230 Liked putting the onus on them to find the relevance to their lives by asking them. Might find reasons you didn't think of. ]]> 2019-08-29 23:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378494230 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378495652 Checked in to assess their understanding of padlet and using QR codes and then explicitly teaching where there was a need

You two are roaming using questioning to prompt further thinking. ]]> 2019-08-29 23:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378496284 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378497342 As students finished with the two questions, the noise level increased. You've now stopped them and given them 2 extra minutes. Maybe next time, tell them at the outset how long they'll have to complete the task. ]]> 2019-08-29 23:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378497342 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378497835 2019-08-29 23:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378497835 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378497838 I liked how you asked why the students were looking in the cupboard before getting them back on task. They might have had a reasonable answer so it's always good to check, I think. ]]> 2019-08-29 23:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378497838 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378498152 Clapping effective.

Underground bunker (similar to the Coober Pedy.

Serena "with every solution might bring about more problems" - great point.

Viruses / illnesses. Point we hadn't considered but since she brought it up maybe we could discuss this in a future class. (Jason) Space suits and every single thing needs liquid water to survive - is this true for all bacteria? 

Drill down into a glacier and melt it with the sun...
Install solar panels, with enough you could get running power and you would be able to get water... and make an airlock to go in and out of the base. (Jasper)

Energy debate:
Jason - solar energy wouldn't work because of the dust on mars... we could use radiation power or hydropower... 

Higher radiation on mars question... engaged different students than the energy kids.  ]]> 2019-08-29 23:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378498301 msaker https://padlet.com/duncansymons1/i38xwqnnvck1/wish/378498343 Specific feedback used.

They thought of:
- Antarctica x3
- Deserts (Sahara desert) x 3
- Island in NZ, sulphur in ground, poisonous air.

Maybe we should find a video for homes in desert?

Good to bring up Coober Pedy.
