- As
I look back on all the trials and errors of my science unit I'm
filled
with a strange sense of satisfaction. In the beginning I looked at Samuel
Long as being technologically advanced. The school gives this impression
because of its computer lab and mobile cart. Once you scratch the surface
of this illusion you begin to find out that most of the software isn't even working
properly, and some isn't even installed
on all of the computers.
- Two
of the best technology activities that I incorporated into my science
technology
unit were "Creating a Coaster" and "Illustrating the First Law." Students
really had a fun time doing both of these projects and seemed to develop a greater
understanding of their concepts.
- One
technology that I would change slightly is "Moving Marbles." I
found some interesting interactive web sites with demonstrate acceleration
of
objects. Since many of the students found the idea of acceleration to be
slightly difficult, any extra information such as this may be useful in helping
them to understand.
