Schedule
(go over as a class hopefully get all vocab terms) 2. PP Review 3. Concept review (what do you remember?) || 1.Questions to recall building compass/electromagnets 2. Diagram, Observe, Questions in notebook 3. Lesson 12 building (pg 43 diagram) 4. Class collection of observations || 1. HW results in groups 2. Class questions/ questioning of turning magnet, then use magnet to turn the wire 3. pg 38 SE solenoid reading 4. draw a diagram of a solenoid and of an electromagnet, label the parts of each (definitions into notebook) 5. Review worksheet of vocabulary terms || 1. Diagram, Observe, Question 2. M+M pg 47 directions 3. permanent magnet spins a coil concept/ was your prediction correct? 4. compare contrast solenoid and electromagnet || 1. Review the variations of the two experiments 2. quiz on vocabulary terms 3. solenoid concept review and variation presentation 4. diagram how you think a solenoid works/ could work better || -questions on board -M+M books onto tables || -questions list -set up of turning permanent magnet spin -set up of coiled wire and compass effects -vocab review, make and copy || -materials list pg 45 -diagram of other circuits made on board -M+M books onto tables || -set up of both experiments from this week to look at (or diagrams on board?) -SE books onto tables -get out example solenoids || -was able to fix some misconceptions during both reviews! need to make sure the students can ask questions anytime so that I can do more of this! -power point needs some adjusting if used again. -never got to the concept review || -went well with prompt at the start of class that they would need to be able to hear the directions today. most classes were more attentive and calmer than usual. -building the compass' went fairly well, those who couldn't get it to work I would set up to work in a group with someone who had with enough time to complete the lab -most students could get their compass to move using the circuit and several would figure out how to make it continuously spin. -very little time to go over the concept in the first class but made time by then end of the day for it. -need to refine the homework question to be more specific, and I went over examples of what I expected too || -went well! -results of homework went fairly well and class review of it went very well -was able to lead into 'if a solenoid can make a magnet spin, could a magnet make a solenoid spin' question, really made the students think -stand/raise hand/sit response to question gets more responses and students really thinking -diagraming the vocab words worked very well! as well as explaining the picture from the text. || -very hard to get through the material toay! -got to make the experiment and make the observations, maybe questions, and the diagram -no time to really get into why the solenoid would spin and just assigned the compare contrast for homework -felt very rushed and while it was fun it seemed a bit off target -hope to go over again tomorrow the behindthe scence ideas || - one class finished early and I had to improvise yet all the other classes took the entire period just about to understand the concepts for the day -need some more class management techniquies for talking without raising hands or to get their attention ||

 * **Agenda** || 1. Take out notebooks: describe 5 of the vocabulary terms
 * **Homework** || Review || Answer: Do you think you could make something else spin? What? How? Describe in a paragraph! || Complete review worksheet. || compare/contrast solenoid and electromagnet || list 5 things that you think might have a solenoid in it ||
 * **Materials** || -PP show and reserve/pick up LCD || - list on pg 41 of M+M
 * **Notes** || -vocab review went well but obviously need to go over some terms again
