Project!

We continued to discuss our project that we will be doing and view Dr. Pierce's powerpoint on the project that he did so that we could understand more of what we will be doing.

Class 2/15/2010

Today in class we discussed out Visual learning project. Also we talked about our new project that we will be starting and began to gather ideas about what we each were going to do our project on!

Visual Ranking Project: Geometric Shapes!

My visual ranking activity is called "Geometric Shapes". I listed 5 shapes that need to be put in order from largest to smallest according to the number of faces that each of the shapes have and their size.

Habits of Learning Taxonomy

Applying Bloom's Taxonomy of Thinking Skills

Situation:
Two glasses are filled half way with soda- one with cola and one with lemon lime. A small amount of lemon lime is removed from the glass and put into the cola glass. The glass is stirred thoughly so that the lemon-lime is completely mixed into the cola. Then the same amount of the mixture is removed from the cola glass and put into the glass with lemon-lime.

Question:
After the soda has been exchanged, is there more cola in the lemon-lime glass or more lemon-lime in the cola glass? Look over the problem and predict which of the followwing is most likely to be correct:

• More cola in the lemon-lime
• More lemon-lime in the cola
• The same in both glasses

After thinking about this problem, i feel that in the end both cups should still have the same amount of liquid in it.

Strategies and Processes used:

• Understand
• You first must understand the problem before trying to figure it out
• Apply
• You must apply what you know already to try and solve the problem
• Analyze
• Think about what you know and put everything ot together to know the answer
• Execute
• Finally yoou figure out your answer

Today we learned how to use two of the three thinking tools within the Intel program:

• We applied for an Animoto account to create a short introduction video.
• We also created visual ranking tools to create maps.
