4. Teaching Strategies

5. Test Data formative/summative

How will we know if they have
learned it?

6. Remediation/Enrichment
What will we do if they dont learn?
What will we do if they already
know it?

End Time:3:30
Team Members(s) Late or Absent:

Summary:
________joined us at the meeting and shared ideas for
investigating horizontal and vertical motion by taking
video of projectile motion and using logger pro to
generate graphs. 3-4 days would be required for the
investigation, with support from ____ and _____.
Involves creating a visual scale, taking video,
interpreting graphs produced, and guided questions.
(Introductory activity) Let ______ know via e-mail if you
are interested, so she can work with you to get the
activity set up.
Catapult project: discussed design and grading. The
student version was edited, plus notes were added to a
teacher version to ensure grading is consistent across
the group. _______ is sending the corrected version to
hand out/post in blackboard. Project will be assigned
on Friday, 10/23, and will be due 11/10. _______ is
sending for copies for everyone.
Discussed allowing students who did not turn in a
balloon car project to complete the calculations and
explanation to get some points rather than a zero. It
was agreed that students with a zero will be offered the
opportunity to get the points (up to a 40).
Discussed grade repair and passing out grade repair
forms. Previously, agreement had been reached as a
group that physics students must have retaken at least
one failing test, and have attended tutorials at least
once to be eligible for grade repair.
For Thursdays test, formulas will be given, but

students will not be allowed to use foldables completed

in class. Formulas include F=ma, kinematics formula,
Fw=mg.
We will have PLC next Monday, so that we can focus on
next six weeks during the pullout. We will discuss the
Projectile Motion Test at that time, as decided in our
last PLC meeting.
