Science 10  |  Introduction and Course Outline

In preparation for activities this semester, students will agree to a Computer Stewardship Contract.   Once this document is reviewed and signed, the class will be introduced to the Science 10 Course Outline.  Fun stuff. 

If we have time, I will introduce our first activity:


Infographic:  Things that Move

As an introduction to our first concept of Motion, students will research the characteristics of an object that moves.  Research the following:

1.  Basic shape and structure of the object
2.  The forces acting upon the object in motion
3.  What makes the object move
4.  Interesting information about the object such as top speed or acceleration rates.

Students will create an Infographic using the free web application at http://piktochart.com/ to summarize their findings related to their selected object that moves.  I have included links to a couple of Infographics:

Camera vs. Smartphone Infographic
History of Game Controllers
