The students will be assessed on their reading by classroom assignments as well as verbal answers to questions during lecture. The students will be required to watch or view a simulation of upcoming laboratory projects.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 110%;">Students will given a bellringer that deals with solving basic division problems. This pre-assessment will get the students in the rythmn of solving division problems before the lesson begins. Once the students have shown master of at least 80% we will then move on to solving word problems related to calculating speed and acceleration. <span style="font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(196,0,255); font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(196,0,255);">Students work on projects and complete tasks: While working in the lab, the students will record data and any observation they may see. They will set up the Motion Detector Probe as indicated on the manufacture’s instruction sheets. The probe will prompt the student to choose "Position" graph only. The students will follow the directions on the handout for this lab and sketch graphs on graph paper. The students will attempt to predict what the graph look like if certain actions are taken. That distance-time graph that they will create will allow them to determine mathematically, the speed. <span style="color: rgb(196,0,255);"> After project work is completed:  Students are to complete the questions at the end of the handout relating to distance, time, acceleration, and speed based on the speed-time graphs they have drawn.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);">Instructional Procedures:
Science: Each day we will start the lesson by correcting the previous night's homework and reviewing what students have recently been taught. Students would be told the goals of today's lesson, then presented with new information a little at a time, with modeled procedures, clear examples, and they would be checked often to make sure they understand. Students would be allowed to practice using the new information under my direction. Many questions will be asked that give students abundant opportunities to correctly repeat or explain the procedure or concept that has just been taught. During guided practice, students will receive a great deal of feedback. When students answer incorrectly, I will reteach the lesson if necessary. When the students answer correctly, an explanation of why it was right would be given. Students would be allowed to practice using the new information on their own, and I would be available to give short answers to students' questions, and students would be permitted to help each other. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Mathematics: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Each day the students will start the class period by working a problem dealing with the calculation of speed or acceleration. The questions will be in the form of word problems to enforce inquiry based learning. After allowing the student at least 10 minutes to complete and discuss the bell ringer, I will then begin teaching the lesson. I will answer any question about the previous night’s homework. I will ask probing questions about the homework assignment to ensure that the concept has been mastered. Based on the concept being covered the students will be given the opportunity to work problems out on the board. Once the class has shown at least 80% mastery of a concept we will then move on to another portion of our unit.
