Breaking Down The Student Proficiency Report Can Sometimes Feel Like This…….
But by the end, you’ll feel like this! It’s really not as confusing or difficult as it may seem! *Dramatization: Light bulbs can neither levitate above ones head nor can it light up without a current of electricity running through them. However, I suppose this picture could be taken in a zero-gravity environment (like a spacecraft orbiting Earth or an aircraft plummeting to the Earth at precisely the same speed as free fall) AND I guess we can’t rule out the potential availability of nearby tesla coils… so I take that back. This picture is feasible. That said, this guy looks rather orange, thus worrying me about a possible case of carotenemia or hemochromatosis. Not to mention he doesn’t have a nose.
At the top of your Proficiency Report... A C A. How many you could have gotten right. B. What was the range of scores from all students (includes the highest and lowest individual scores) C. This is YOUR score (out of the total possible) D. This was your class average (1st hour, 2nd hour, etc.). It only includes data from your class, not your whole grade. B D
A. The standards we have been teaching you so far this year (comes from the ACT) B. Your score on that particular standard-Red = below 80%Yellow = in the 80% rangeGreen= You rock! C. How many you answered correctly, and how many total questions there were for each standard.D. Your overall score- in this case, a 54%.
Keep a Growth Mindset! Even if you didn’t do as well as you expected, you can always improve! It’s not what you already know, but how open you are to learning more!
Let’s Get Down to Business... Using the worksheet in front of you, work through your own Proficiency Report to identify the standards that you mastered and the standards where you have room for growth! GROWTH Standards MASTERED Standards
And now a short movie for your pleasure… Note: Imagine you are Godzilla and the next Interim Assessment is Bambi.
Scholar Start Generals Can: 10-22-13 Reflect on their data from the interim assessment 1. Get your analysis and your student proficiency report from the organizer on the counter. 2. What is a growth mindset? Give an example of a situation where a person can show a growth mindset.
Growth Mindset TedTalk ‘Write for 5”- Do you have a growth or fixed mindset? How does your personal mindset affect your performance?
Growth Standards SC 1.11: 8(a), 10(b), 12(c), 18(b), 19(c), 20(d), 24 (d) SC 1.13: 1(a), 3(b), 9(d), 11(a), 21(d), 22(b) SC 2.8: 7(d), 27(b), 28(c), 29(a), 30(d) SC 2.10: 2(a), 5(c), 6(d), 23(d), 25(d), 26(a) SC 3.8: 4(a), 13(a), 14(c), 15(c), 16(a), 17(c)
Scholar Start 10-23-13 Generals Can: Describe motion by reading graphs Create Goals for the IA #2 1. A Title 2. Labeled Axes (X & Y) 3. A Well Chosen Scale 4. Data Plotted 5. Key Identify the following 5 things on this graph. If one is missing, put what it SHOULD be.
Smart Goal Setting 101 Examples •“I will achieve and maintain an average GPA of 3.5 by the end of the semester.” •“I will make sure to keep my locker organized and throw away papers at the end of each week that I no longer need.” •“I will score an 80% or higher on every assessment in science.” Non-Examples •“I will get good grades.” •“I will keep my stuff clean.” •“I will get a high score on my tests.” S.M.A.R.T. Goal: Specific Measureable Achievable Relevant Time-bound
1. Draw an inference based on the graph. Remember, claim & then evidence! Scholar Start 10-24-13 Generals Can: Define & calculate the speed of an object.
Quick Check In- What is the meaning of the word “initial” in these sentences? -His initial time was 45 seconds. -Initially, she was surprised at her mom’s reaction. -My final thought was that he was fun and exciting. My initial thought was that he was uninteresting. How time changes perspective!
Instantaneous Speed… It shows your speed at a particular instant in time. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object- change its speed, direction or both! Ex: think about a radar gun- that shows your speed at a specific point in time.
Practicing with S=d/t 1. If a car travels 400m in 20 seconds, how fast is it going? 2. If you move 50 meters in 10 seconds, what is your speed?
Average Speed… Average speed is a measure of the distance traveled in a given period of time. Formula: S=d/t Ex: Your speed might change between Louisville and Bardstown, but your average speed was…..65 mph
Small Group Work 1. Frank’s car rolled 300 cm in 1.5 s. Noah’s car rolled 360 cm in 2 s. What is the average speed for each car? 2. A biker rode up a 20 km hill (10 up, 10 down) in 2 hours and down the hill in 0.5 hour without stopping. What was his avg. speed riding up the hill? What was his avg. speed riding down the hill? What was his overall average speed during the whole trip? 3. What is the avg. speed of an arrow that takes 1.25 s to hit a target 75 m away? 4. Lily entered a skate, row, and bike race. Her time and distance for each leg of the race are entered in the chart. A.) What was her avg. speed for each leg of the race? B.) What was her average speed over the whole race?
Use the pictures below to define Newton’s 2nd Law. Write what you think it is! :-) Scholar Start 10-25-13 Generals Can: Define & calculate the speed of an object. Explain Newton’s 2nd Law
Newton’s 2nd Law- “Force equals mass times acceleration. As the force acting on an object increases, the acceleration increases. As the mass of the object increases, the acceleration of the object decreases.” Formula: F= m x a
Real-World Connection Where could you see Newton’s 2nd law applying to real life situations? Think-pair-share with your partner.
Reteach- My bad! I’m sorry guys! 1. An object is being spun around on a rope. If the rope is let go, which direction will the object go in? Refer to the diagram below. A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
Individual Work- Voice Level Zero! Complete the sheet in front of you, showing your work. You get partial points only if you don’t show your work. Step 1: Write down what variables you have Step 2: Plug it into the formula Step 3: Box your answer- Don’t forget units!!
Unscrambling the Purpose WAIT! Check in! Our previous target dealt with balanced and unbalanced forces. How are speed and balanced or unbalanced forces related? (write-pair-share)
Check for Understanding •For example: James’ car stopped in the middle of the street. To avoid causing other accidents or a roadblock, some friendly passersby stopped to help him push it out of the way. John pushed with 10N and Elizabeth pushed with 11N. Together, they pushed with a net force of ________ Newtons. Is this Balanced or Unbalanced? • •If James pushed with a force of 10N on the back bumper and Elizabeth pushed with a force of 10N on the front bumper (in opposite directions) would they be using balanced or unbalanced forces? What is the Net Force? __________.
