Helping Others Out

On Thursday January 15, my second period class video taped the simple machine station labs so that absent students may used the videos to observe the labs instead of completing the labs alone. To verify that they had the correct information, the students voluntarily performed the labs first to obtain data. They wanted to verify that they truly understood the concepts that were being investigated. Unfortunately, the sound was very weak and you could hear the background of the other lab groups. Therefore, this class has decided to use the Garage band to re-create the voice on the tapes. On today during the circular motion lab, the class again use the flip cameras to video tape a lab. This lab required everyone to have an active part, so no one was able to just observe. The video taping of the lab allowed them to review the procedures and discuss the outcome of the lab. D. Wilkes
