The document outlines the lesson plan for a day 3 class on radio frequency interference and noise for 9th grade honors students. The objectives are for students to create a Glog in groups of 2-3 accurately explaining the concept of radio frequency interference. The lesson plan incorporates different learning styles through a Voki bell ringer, a class Twitter account for reflections, and having students make Glogs in groups about devices that cause radio interference after watching an informational video. The teacher will ensure access to technology and evaluate the Glogs and group work to assess student progress and ability to revise future lessons.

Day 3: Radio Frequency Interference and Noise
I. Analyze the learners: This lesson is designed for 9th grade honors students in a
West Virginia High School ranging from ages 14 to 16. There will be roughly twenty
students in the class and the female students will slightly outnumber the male
students. The students will largely be Caucasian, with only two students being
African American. Most of the students identify as spatial, kinesthetic, and
interpersonal learners. They learn best by using visual aids, hands on activities, and
group work. Previous learning competencies of the students include some entry level
knowledge of basic astronomy and the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy. The
students will also have basic math skills needed to analyze the data. The students
are also able to use a computer efficiently and have an understanding of how to use
the internet in order to research topics and analyze data.
II. State Objectives: Students will grasp the concept of Radio Frequency
Interference by creating a Glog in groups of two or three with 100% accuracy by
the end of day three.
III. Select methods, media, and materials: The students encompass many
different learning styles, therefore I will incorporate different materials to my lesson.
 Voki: I have created a Voki in order to enhance the experience of a bell
ringer. The Voki will ask the students their bell ringer which they will then
answer in their bell ringer notebook.

2.  Twitter: After every class, students will be expected to write a short
reflection about what they thought of the lesson that day. I have created a
class Twitter account that will be used. This will allow the students
somewhere to give their feedback on a forum they use on an everyday basis.
 Glogster: In groups of two or three, students will watch the short
informational video on pulsars and radio telescopes. After watching the video,
and listening to the material provided during class, the groups will make a
Glog on the different types of devices that cause radio frequency
interference. The groups should discuss the ways they directly affect the
analysis of pulsar radiation, as well as ways they could limit the amount of
radio waves they use.
IV. Utilize Media and Materials: Prior to the start of day three instruction, I will
make sure I have a computer lab reserved to facilitate the students working on their
Glogs. I will also make sure the Voki can be heard before class so that all the students
will be able to answer their bell ringer. Students will again reflect on the lesson from the
day on Twitter and I will assure that they each have access to a computer before the
end of the day if they do not have one available after school hours.
V. Require Learner Participation: Students will actively participate in the creation of
a Glog. The students will be working in groups of two or three to increase discussion
among peers. The students will also participate in a discussion about RFI and noise
prior to the Glog assignment. The students will also be required to reflect on their day
using the class Twitter account. This will allow students to respond back and forth to
each other, even while they are not in the physical classroom.
VI. Evaluate and Revise: Each Glog will be evaluated and this will help assess the
students’ progress with the information given on day three. The students will also be
working in groups and an assessment of group work and involvement will also help in

3. evaluating each student’s progress. Their daily reflection will allow me to revise my
lesson plan in ways that will make it more beneficial to each student.
