1 ライブミーティング
週あたりの授業時間数 50 分宿題:
週1時間. Students may required to complete 20-30 min of homework, reading, activities, etc. per each live lesson (totaling about 1 hour per week). If needed, these will be assigned before the end of each live class.テスト
Assessments will be given as an indication of how well as student is learning the content and skills for the class and to help me continuously develop better curriculum. Students will be assigned a number on a proficiency scale* that lets the student, parent, and teacher know how the student is doing. Each assignment will have a rubric attached to it letting the student, parent, and teacher know the expectations for the assessment. Assessments may be multiple choice, free response, modeling, or many other types. Most assessments will be taken in class, but some may be at-home projects. Assessment retakes and/or revisions will be provided and encouraged. *See Grading Policy for our Proficiency Scale評価
Grades will be provided by default to all learners. If students do not want their student graded or to not have access to their grades, please let me know. Grades allow students, parents, and myself to understand where the student is at in their learning. For each assignment or assessment, students will receive a "grade" according to the rubric below. 0 - The student demonstrates no evidence of learning. 1 - The student demonstrates a minimal understanding of the concept. 2 - The student demonstrates a partial understanding of the concept. 3 - The student demonstrates a complete understanding of the concept.この文章は自動翻訳されています

Structure of the Class: In my dynamic classroom, students dive into a myriad of learning experiences, from live debates and projects to intriguing educational escape rooms and enlightening lab sessions. But it doesn't stop there - we also incorporate games and direct instruction to ensure a well-rounded education. Each live session comes equipped with a set of slides and activity guidelines, readily accessible for students during and post-class. Plus, I've got a slew of pre-recorded videos at the ready to shed light on those trickier concepts and deepen your background knowledge. Student Requirements: Students will be required to keep their cameras turned on during class. This allows me to better interact with students and helps them to interact with their peers. My Teaching Style: My mission is to ignite a spark of scientific curiosity in my students, fostering lifelong learners who are scientifically savvy. I pour my energy into crafting lessons that aren't just informative, but also a whole lot of fun, ensuring students genuinely relish the learning journey. I'm a firm believer in connecting classroom knowledge to real-world experiences, encouraging students to view their surroundings through an exploratory lens. Prior Knowledge: Students will not be required to have any prior knowledge of life science to participate in this course.
学習到達目標
All learning goals, lessons, and assessments are based on the National Next Generation Science Standards & Utah Science with Engineering Education Standards
Matter & Energy Interact in the Physical World:
-Students can develop a model to describe the scale and proportion of atoms and molecules and describe how they make up all matter.
-Students can use valid resources to obtain information about the properties of matter.
-Students can evaluate how the properties allow them to be used for particular functions and communicate their findings.
-Students can plan and investigate changes in a substance's properties during a chemical reaction.
-Students can identify patterns in the data to determine if a chemical reaction took place.
-Students can obtain information to explain how synthetic materials are made from natural resources.
-Students can describe how the uses of synthetic materials are based on their functions.
-Students can create a model of what the molecules are doing while adding or removing heat energy.
-Students can make graphs that illustrate the cause and effect relationships of particle motion, temperature, density, and state of a pure substance when you add or remove heat.
-Students can develop a model that shows the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction.
-Students can engineer a device that affects the rate of a phase change.
-Students can analyze data from the tests to modify and improve the device.
Energy Storage & Energy Transfer:
-Students can use numerical data to identify the relationship between mass of an object and its kinetic energy.
-Students can use numerical data to identify the relationship between speed of an object and kinetic energy.
-Students can develop and test questions that demonstrate how distance affects the amount of potential energy of an object.
-Students can engage in an argument using evidence to support the claim that an object in motion can change or transfer its energy.
-Students can draw a model that shows the patterns of how a wave’s amplitude is related to the energy of the wave.
-Students can develop a model to show the structure of a wave.
-Students can use a model to demonstrate how waves get reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
