motion, calculating speed
Lesson Outline
We successfully collected data on about a dozen vehicles, and discussed what modifications we could make to our experimental plan to collect data on "large" vehicles, which we were lacking. Nicole is a very attentive and reliable field observer and did an excellent job collecting data.
When we went back inside, we reviewed relative motion, and looked up how fast we are moving on Earth's surface due to rotation. We then watched a time-lapse video of the night sky, at which point Nicole became very interested and started asking me many questions, so I went with it! We had an impromptu lesson on the solar system and celestial objects. We discussed everything from stars to space shuttles.

Lesson Comments
Nicole really opened up to me today. She started firing questions at me about the solar system, which was great, but it turns out that her understanding of this topic is extremely lacking. I will think about ways to incorporate content into our lessons.
