Boundary Breaker: Students watched a short video about predictions for technology in the future. They responded with any potential problems they saw for the devices or society as a whole adapting to the new developments.
We practiced the Habit of Mind Listening to Other with Understanding and Empathy by using the video to discuss the coolest/most important technology shown. Groups took up roles as speaker, listener, and evaluator as they practice whole body listening and received feedback.
Next we reviewed our observations and inferences lesson from last week as students collected qualitative and quantitative data for our dancing raisin experiment. Students then made inferences about the objects them selves and their interactions. They used prior knowledge to conclude that the wrinkled brown objects were raisins being lifted by the bubbles in the carbonation until they popped and sunk again.
We also went back to our discussion of models as students looked at their actual black boxes and drew they conceptional models for what they thought was inside.
