Overview:

Students will present data collected for production and test flights. This presentation is to include some form of technology in either creating or presenting their project.

Objective(s):

• Use multiple representations, such as words, graphs, tables of values and equations, to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation
• Extrapolate data represented by graphs, tables and formulas to make inferences and predictions on rate of change (slope) and justify when communicating results within a project based investigation
• Evaluate data provided, given a real-world situation, select an appropriate literal equation and solve for a needed variable

Time Required:

45 minutes

Pre-Requisite Skills:

Student should have a working knowledge of technology for presentations

computer with appropriate software or other materials to meet students' need

• Lesson 4 Rubric
• Computer
• LCD projector
• overhead
• other materials to meet students' need

1. Make available any technology students will need for presentations
2. Print a rubric for evaluating group presentations

The learning activities/strategies in this lesson vary so that each learning style and intelligence area is addressed.  Students will be reading, writing, listening, speaking (verbal/linguistic); problem solving, reasoning, working with the abstract (math/logic); designing, drawing, creating, visualizing (spatial); crafting a model, using tools (kinesthetic); organizing, cooperating, communicating (interpersonal); setting goals, completing self-paced projects, reflecting (intrapersonal); and understanding/exploring nature (naturalist). Group students according to ability or intelligence style so that all students have the opportunity to participate and succeed in developing a glider for Lite-Flite Gliders.

Presentations can be on poster board if technology is not readily available. Alternative times for students who have a fear of public speaking could be made available.

The assessment for this lesson is a rubric that was created at http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php
