This document provides guidance for a lesson on doing science. It discusses key concepts like scientific questions being answered through descriptive or experimental research. Models are used to test difficult ideas by saving time and money. A hypothesis is an idea that can be tested, and sometimes experiments disprove the original hypothesis, requiring a new one. Well-planned experiments have a control and vary only one factor at a time. Careful organization and planning are important when solving any problem scientifically. The lesson covers solving problems through scientific methods, using equipment and models, drawing conclusions, and experimental research design.

Harley Davidson: Birth of a V-Rod Video GuideDwayne Squires
This show/series tells the behind-the-scenes story of the design and creation of the revolutionary Harley Davidson V-Rod From the initial rough napkin sketches to its triumphant unveiling and test rides at the annual Sturgis Bike Rally, where hundreds of thousands of Harley enthusiasts gather each year. With exclusive access to Harley's top-secret product design center the show/series follows the battles between the visionary design department and the engineers who struggle to turn ambitious dreams into working parts. See the new design put through brutal road and endurance tests, to the moment the production line prepares to crank out unit number one, and the celebration that accompanies the V-Rod's public debut.
During the mid to late 1800s, there were many technological innovations that resulted in increased industry. Easy production of steel led to the development of skyscrapers and more industrial buildings. The increase of industrial machinery changed the labor force from skilled to unskilled. Due to mass production, the number of products increased, while the cost of products decreased. This helped spur competition.
As we use up Earth’s supply of minerals that are crucial to our lives, the race is on to extract them from space...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Lesson 3 Doing Science
1. Lesson 3: Doing Science
Mathematics, Science, Technology
2-3 Days
Scientific questions can be answered by descriptive
research or experimental research.
Models save time and money by testing ideas that are Grade/Level:
too difficult to cary out.
Time Frame:
Models cannot completely replace experimentation.
Subject(s):
A hypothesis is an idea that can be tested. Sometimes experiments don't
support the original hypothesis, and a new one must be formed.
In a well planned experiment, there is a control and only one variable is changed
at a time. All other factors are kept constant.
No one scientific method is used to solve all problems. Organization and careful
planning are important when trying to solve any problem.
Topics: 1. Solving Problems: scientific methods are the steps followed to solve a
problem. Descriptive research is used when experiments are impossible to use.
2. Equipment, Material & Models: models are important tools in science. The
International System of Units (SI) is used exclusively to take scientific
measurements. Data is collected, recorded, and organized.
3. Draw Conclusions: scientist look for trends in data, then communicate their
findings.
4. Experimental Research Design: experiments start with hypothesis.
Variables are factors that are changed. Controls are samples that are not
changed. Conclusions are drawn. Research is communicated to other scientists.

Follow-Up
1. Organize class into groups of three. Ask students to design an experiment to
test the effectiveness of various glass cleaners. Have groups produce an
experimental plan, including materials, methods of analysis, procedures, and
variables.
2. Organize students into pairs. Have each pair write on an index card a
hypothesis about any topic. Have them switch cards and discuss whether a
model could be created to carry out the experiment.
