Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students: • identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation. • plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project. • collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions. • use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore
alternative solutions.

Designing Experiments
Inspiration - Mind MappingCmap / Mindomo - free alternativeWeb 2.0: MyWebspiration, Mindomo, MindmeisterGive students template
Task: Design an experiment examining how air resistance affects falling coffee filters.
Photo Booth / Web Cam
Open Photo BoothSet up the shotClick the camera and count to 3Flip photo if needed
Screen Capture - Apple - Shift - 4Add the Control key, Click and drag
Collecting Data - Taking Pictures
Use Photobooth to take pictures
Drag to Desktop for later use
Task: Take pictures of your equipment and experimental setup
Collecting Data - Video Capture
Task: Use PhotoBooth to take video of the experimental runs. The video should show the differences in the runs.
Teacher Notes
Record video on the fly - no tapes
Have students script their words
Use tripod or steady camera position
Video first, narrate later
Collecting Data - Using Probes
Probes measure more quickly
Digitize the data
Task: Measure the acceleration of the filters falling; vary the number of filters
Recording Data
Google DocsWord Processing, Data Tables, Graphs
Wikis - Warehouse of Information
http://edtechinnovators.wikispaces.com/NECC
Task: Report your data to the Wiki above. Measurement should include number of filters and acceleration measured.
Collecting Data - Podcasting
Use Audacity to record observations of this lab
Task: Create a podcast of observations
