Anchor and Predictions
Explanation Today you will learn where we are going, what we will be doing, and how we will get there. We explore questions that will drive our study of Projectiles and make some predictions.
He Shoots ... he scores? -
Period: to
Milestone 1
Milestone 1: Create a Geogebra graph that shows the path that a projectile will follow if it is thrown from a height of 4 feet above the ground at a speed of 30 ft per second. -
Team Meetings
Today students will find out who is in their group and who they will be working with for the next couple of weeks. Here are a couple of dates to keep in mind while planning: Milestone 1: Create a projectile path in Geogebra Due 9/15, Milestone 2: Create a video that shows the path of a projectile Due 9/17, Milestone 3: Provide a presentation with what you learned about projectiles Due 9/22 -
Graph It
You will be using Geogebra's graphing function to find out what equation can give the path of a projectile. Create an account at Geogebra by clicking on the following link. Milestone 1 should be completed by the beigining of next class. -
Let the Videoing Begin
Most important: turn in your Geogebra graph. If you are still struggling to find an equation that properly graphs a projectile, try searching Google or Youtube.
You will now be working on creating a video that will be used to show your understanding of the path that a projectile follows. The choice for this video is endless. A good story board of your video can be helpful to the success of it. -
Period: to
Milestone #2
The artifact for this Milestone is a completed video of what you decided was an appropriate projectile. Video due by the end of the class period on 9/17. -
Video Continued
Most of your day will be spent videoing your projectile that you have chosen. Things to keep in mind while videoing: perspective of video camera, speed of projectile and video quality, and videoing the complete path of the projectile. -
Finish Video
Time to finish up that video and start editing. You can use Movie Maker that is installed on all of the school computers, or you can check out some free editors that have a lot more feaures: X-Split Broadcaster or Lightworks.
These are much more intense video editors, but they can take your video to new levels. -
Period: to
Milestone #3
The artifact to be turned in includes your presentation of your own personal video and Geogebra graph. They should be part of a presentation of your own choosing. Possible choices for a presentation include but are not limited to: Powerpoint, Movie Maker, or Youtube. -
Edit, Edit, Edit
More video editing: You can go several directions with this. You can use still images from your video to illustrate, slow it down to show the important parts of the path of a projectile, or import a Geogebra graph as a layer onto your video. These are some simple ideas, but you might come up with something completely different. It is up to you! -
Presentation Work
Time to start thinking about how you are going to present your video. You should be in the final stages of editing. Presentation can make or break your product in the eye of the audience. -
