Team Teaching Assignment By Dean Papadakis CSUN SED 610 Dr Berry The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to work with another teacher share with them and work through an academic unit together Hopefully you will find that two minds are better than one Your task will be to determine how and why two minds are better than one You should find a teacher in your school who you would like to partner with to plan together a two week unit Ideally you will be teaching the same thing on the same day for two weeks You should first have a plan for the two weeks that both of you like Then each day of the 2 weeks you should get together to discuss what went well what could have been improved what needs to be reviewed and what you intend to do the next day You should include in this assignment A two week lesson plan 10 days of reflection and planning And a 2 3 page reflection on your impressions of what went well and what could have been improved CSUN SED 610 Dr Berry Team Teaching Assignment Two week Lesson Plan March 2008 Subject Honors Physics Topic Waves and Sound Teachers Dean Papadakis Andy Stephens Lesson 1 Purpose To learn about waves and wave speed Introduction Seeing sound demonstration followed by discussion and explanation of observations Activities Slinky Labette Review KWL on waves What is students prior knowledge on waves What do students want to know about waves What did students learn about waves Homework Book Problems Teaching Methods Lecture activating prior knowledge discrepant event think pair share ask your neighbor Lesson 2 Purpose To learn the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves Introduction Slinky demonstration of both wave types Activities Students make both types of waves using Slinky Springs and perform a qualitative lab while students draw both types of waves and label the parts Students will draw Venn diagrams of transverse and longitudinal waves Review Discuss the review questions from previous night Homework Book problems Teaching Methods Collaborative learning student lab and formative assessment Lesson 3 Purpose To learn about how waves can interfere constructively and destructively Introduction Draw two waves in and out of phase and discuss interactions Activities Interference paper activity using manipulative with various waves Review Discuss the results of the manipulative activity Homework Book problems Teaching Methods Lecture desk activities and discussion Lesson 4 Purpose To teach students about the Doppler Effect Introduction Swing a source of string and allow students to hear the Doppler Effect Activities Students get into groups to swing Bloogles and listen to the sounds produced Following their observation they test the frequencies of sounds produced by the Bloogles with oscilloscope and microphone Review Review question What is the difference between a longitudinal and transverse wave Homework How does Doppler radar help us forecast weather Teaching Methods Inquiry real world application and hands on experiences Lesson 5 Purpose To learn about shock waves Introduction Showing a video of a space shuttle landing and images of sonic booms from a jet Activities Towel snapping sonic boom and discussion and Doppler effect simulation activity Review Concept Development Exercise Worksheet Sonic Booms Students measure Mach number using images and a ruler Homework Book problems Teaching Methods multimedia video simulation and independent practice Lesson 6 Purpose To understand the origins of sound and propagation through different media Introduction Bring out toys that make sound and show the source is vibration Activities Use hangers and strings to hear the difference between sound travelling through air and a solid Review Quiz on wave behavior Homework Sound worksheet where students compare the speeds of sound through various media Teaching Methods Activating prior knowledge cooperative activities and formative assessment Lesson 7 Purpose To learn how to measure the speed of sound Introduction Background discussion on how a tuning fork can be used to measure the speed of sound Activities Measuring the speed of sound using a tuning fork and a resonance tube lab measuring the speed of sound using a microphone probe from Vernier Review What phase of matter does sound travel the fastest slowest through Homework Lab write up including the answers to the Error Analysis Questions Teaching Methods Laboratory activity data collection and data analysis Lesson 8 Purpose To learn about natural frequency forced vibrations and resonance and their relationships Introduction Show the natural frequencies of various objects such as a PVC pipe and ruler Activities Demonstrating singing wine glasses with video Mythbusters Breaking Glass with Sound Earthquake Building Resonance demonstration carpet tube and Bunsen burner demonstration Review Conclusion paragraph on what students learned from the day s activities Homework Mythbusters T V show on You Tube Breaking glass with sound worksheet Teaching Methods Digital video demonstrations and formative assessment Lesson 9 Purpose To learn about the relationship between interference and beats Introduction Demonstration using two tuning forks with clay oscilloscope and microphone Activities Watch Chladni Plate video students demonstrate nodes and antinodes with a slinky Review Where did you see nodes and antinodes on the Chladni Plate Homework Review questions from textbook and experiment with speaker placement in home Teaching Methods Video experimentation and discussion Lesson 10 Purpose To understand frequency of sounds Introduction Use signal generator to produce sounds throughout the range of human hearing frequencies Activities Have students test their vocal range in terms of frequency Review Review for upcoming test 9 station review Homework Study guide to help with preparation of upcoming Waves Sound Exam Teaching Methods Study guides activities and demonstration Team Teaching Assignment Reflection Day 1 What went well The students engaged in hands on experimentation and tested their own understanding Slinkys are inherently fun What could have been done better The production of wave patterns could have been demonstrated on the slinky rather than drawn out What will you do tomorrow Transverse and longitudinal waves lesson Educational concepts used or observed Multiple intelligences were employed Reflection Day 2 What went well The students did the actual demonstrations with their hands to
