Standard 7.10.2: Understand the significance of new scientific theories (e.g. those of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton) and the significance of new inventions (e.g. the telescope, microscope, thermometer, barometer).
Objectives: We will learn about the scientific discoveries of Newton. We will be able to explain the evolution of scientific theories from the geocentric theory to the laws of gravity.
Announcements:
Friendly Reminder: Remember to show excellence by doing the following things:
A) If you don't understand an assignment when you get home, get in contact with your teachers right away. Don't wait until 8 or 9PM.
B) If you need to get in touch with Mr. Herrera, please email him at a reasonable time or call his personal cell phone (which is displayed on the white board every day) before 9PM.
C) While in class, always work hard and be nice.
D) Please read all tasks fully before asking a teammate or your teacher if you don't understand something.
Task 1: Review your knowledge of scientific theories by completing the Do Now.
Task 2: Track Mr. Herrera as he presents Isaac Newton and the Law of Gravity. Take Cornell notes in your interactive notebook on the next available page.
Task 3: Watch as Mr. Herrera guides you through creating a flow map to show your knowledge of evolution of scientific theories from geocentrism to the laws of gravity.
Task 4: Finish your flow map. Your flow map should show excellence in that it is organized, neat, and professional.
Early Finishers:
- Use your flow map to create a comic about the evolution of scientific thought by using StripGenerator (you will need to create an account and play around with the tools here).
- Use your flow map to create a timeline about the evolution of scientific thought by using Capzles (you will need to create an account and play around with the tools here).
Homework:
- Individually finish the final draft of your teaching poster (for those who have not already finished)
