Review Badge Upgrades
Good news! Badges became simpler and easier to earn! We will only be operating through Badgelist from now on. No more Blogger, Wordpress, or Google Slides and all badges have the same 3 requirements: Process, Product, and Metacognitive Reflection. You can still submit the work you have already done and I will award you badges for it!

To get this new system up and running:

  1. Log on to Badgelist and make sure you are part of the Del Lago Academy group. If you aren't, click here
  2. Join these badges:
    1. Analytical Techniques 1
    2. Analytical Techniques 2
    3. Planning 2
    4. Visual Explanation
  3. Submit evidence and request feedback!

Goal Setting


  1. On the provided sheet, set a goal for TODAY. If you have NMs it should be a NM. If you don't pick a badge. 
  2. Write down 3 specific action steps you will take in class today. 

AR/Badge Time
Do work.

Spectroscopes and Light Lab

Goal:
Complete the spectroscopes and light lab.

Agenda:
Annotate Lab Background
Notes
Lab
Analysis
Quiz

Annotate Lab Background
You will be given a copy of the lab for today. Read the background section and annotate for the main ideas.

Notes (work with a partner)
  1. Create a new note in your science journal called "Electromagnetic Radiation Notes." Designate someone to be the note-taker and someone to show the video. Note-taker can send the notes to their partner.
  2. Watch this video or look at the slides here and take notes.
  3. In your journals, explain where light comes from in an atom and why different wavelengths are emitted by atoms.
Lab
Complete the lab procedure by drawing the spectra of the different gas tubes.

Analysis
Work together to complete the analysis questions in the lab.

What's in the Sun?

Goal:
Interpret electromagnetic spectra to determine the elemental composition of a light source.

Agenda:
Warmup
Reading
Spectrum Interpretation
Socrative

Warmup
Create a new journal entry entitled "Spectra." Start this journal entry by writing down 3 things you now know about where light comes from.

Reading

  1. Look in "Shared with Me" in your Google Docs app. You should have a new article about how astronomers study the sun. You have been randomly assigned collaborators and you will annotate this article using the comments feature of Google Docs. You do NOT need to sit with your collaborators.
  2. You will have 3 minutes to silently read and annotate each section. After this you will have a 3 minute table discussion about the section, focusing on the discussion prompts.
  3. Once you have finished the readings and discussion, write a 5 sentence summary of the main points of the article in your Science Journal.
Spectrum Interpretation
We are going to use a section of the electromagnetic spectrum to determine what the Sun is made of. You will work with your elbow partner. Start by labeling the wavelength of each peak in the spectrum, then finding the corresponding element in Table 1.

Socrative
Log in to Socrative and use the spectrum and Table 1 to answer the questions.

Goal: 
Describe how light comes from atoms.

Agenda:
Self-Score
Lab
Reading and Modeling
Quiz

Self-Score

  1. Create a new entry in your journal entitled "Self-Score." 
  2. Use the Science Journal Rubric to give your self a score on your nuclear journal. 
  3. In your entry, include a reflection on how you will finish this semester strong.
Lab
  1. In your science journal, create a new entry entitled "Flame Test." Make a procedures/observations table.
  2. Read the procedures here and copy them into your science journal. 
  3. Perform the lab with your elbow partner.
  4. Answer the two analysis questions found at the end of the lab procedure. 
Reading
Read these two articles and use them to construct a model explaining where different colors of light come from. You will draw your models on whiteboards with your table group.
