Final Exam
After the test I asked for fist of 5 responses.
1. Was it a fair test - most students indicated yes.
2. Did students find the quia helpful? Those that actually accessed it, found it very helpful. Most students did not use it.
3. Would you be willing to take tests like this online through quia instead of using the hard copy. This would save paper. Many, but not all, students would be willing to give it a try.

Handed back graded Energy Worksheets
Energy Card Test - Students finished at 2:00 pm
Handed out Review Packet for Final Exam and gave students time to work on it in class.
I went around, answered any questions, and made my answer key available.
Told students to check quia for additional review exercises. Over the weekend, I put most of the review packet on quia so students could practice and check their answers.
Final on Wednesday, Jan 28, 2009

Stamped Energy Worksheet for completeness and went over it in class. Asked students to fill in or correct any missed or wrong answers as we went over it.
I did not collect it for grading since I wanted students to be able to use it to study for the final exam.

Great Roller Coaster Roll Off
Students made roller coasters.
I collected lab sheets at the end of the period.
I gave out an energy worksheet for homework due next period

Gave a quiz on new material:
1. What cards, in general, show an energy source?
2. What cards, in general, show an energy dump?
3. What color card is used for a transducer?
4. What color cards are the input and output to a transducer?
5. Show the input and output cards for a generator.
6. Show the input and output cards for a lamp.
7. Show the input and output cards for a electric heater.
8. Show the input and output cards for a motor.
9. Show the input and output cards for a engine.
10. Show the input and output cards for a microphone.
Gave students a choice. They could have their quiz graded or they could take notes.
Quickly reviewed the basic cards.
Reviewed all the transducers.
Reviewed the energy dumps.
New material, more complicated systems. Finished presentation 1.
Went on to Power Stations. Handed out green sheet with summary of power stations.
Many of the them are the same. KE --> turbine--> KE --> generator --> electricity
Mentioned acid rain and the greenhouse effect. Bad effects of leaving dogs or children in closed up cars on hot days. The light energy can get in but can't get out so the inside gets very hot.
Basically finished power plants.
Quiz next time.
Last day to make up any missing tests is this Friday.

Allowed redo on test.
Asked students to sit next to a partner they wanted to work with. Allowed students to work in their pairs and redo the same test using any notes and the yellow textbooks. I told students I would average the two test scores.
When students were done, I showed the 10 Gary Williams energy symbols and asked students to match them to the appropriate forms of energy. Explained the difference between potential energies (blue rectangles) vs energy transfers (green boxes with points.)

Test on motion and forces.
When everyone was done, introduced energy briefly.
Used pendulum next to students nose to illustrate gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
Showed energy balls - kinetic energy goes into heat.
Finished by showing the video "The Way Things Go" asking students to focus on the different types of energy and how they transform from one form into another.
