Apologia Physics: More Preliminary Plans

Here are some initial notes for the fall's Co-op based on Module One.  I want to insert some technology, CER, use of graphing calculators, and informally assess skills.  You'll get a feel for the stages of planning.  This is the outline for the first week's classes.
Apologia Physics: 

1. Bowling for Density: Bowling ball and Glass Marble: bowling ball, scale, big trash can, water, digital scale, tape measure, string, plastic cylinder.

2. Accuracy, Precision, Sci. Notation,and Sig figs. (http://www.santarosa.edu/~lwillia2/p10/p10lab1.pdf)

3. Many kids have dropped over dead converting metrics.  What are the metric prefixes?

4. Review key concepts in Apologia Physics about motion.

5. Try Pasco Motion graphs and sparkvue labs. (Tech)

6. Graphing calculator activity (Dig up chem graphing stuff to do.)

7. Claim Evidence Reasoning (http://www.edutopia.org/blog/science-inquiry-claim-evidence-reasoning-eric-brunsell) and
