Question 1

1.

Short flipped classroom this week. You are to spend your time studying for and then taking your take-home test. HOWEVER Since we are not handling new material and because you didn't get tested on any of the information you should have gleaned from your peers in their planets presentation, your flipped classroom this week is to create your own quiz on your presentation. Your goal is to present questions that ask about the science behind your presentation, NOT trivia.

Examples:

Trivia - Mercury's day is how long
a) 58 days
b)176 days
c) 88 days
d) 12 days
This just tests memory, it doesn't get to any deeper understanding of concepts or vocabulary. Also two of the answers are correct depending on your definitions. Be precise.

science: Mercury's sidereal day is 58.6 days and its solar day is 176 days. this means
a) 176 days sunrise to sunrise, 58.6 days with respect to one star
b) 58.6 days sunrise to sunrise, 176 days with respect to one star
c) 176 long day (sunrise to sunset), 58.6 day-long night (sunset to sunrise)
d) 58.6 long day (sunrise to sunset), 176 day-long night (sunset to sunrise)

Write your question here in this format - correct question first, please. also - you have a character limit!! 150 characters per question and 150 for each answer. Characters, not words. No paragraphs. think Kahoot questions. 'cause this is going to be a kahoot.

Question 2

2.

Question 2: create a question about your planet that is testing the knowledge/vocabulary from the rest of the session, not simply from your presentation. Ex:

Mercury's core is still molten because of its proximity to the sun. This means that
a) mercury has a magnetosphere
b) the liquid core speeds up mercurys spin
c) mercury's tilt is changing, creating seasons
d) mercury's orbit is elliptical

Question 3

3.

Question 3: You should have presented on something about your planet in depth. Ask about the science behind that depth:

example : Mercury has a 3:2 spin-orbital resonance. The word resonance here means
a) two forces that enhance each others effects
b) repeating patterns
c) A force that always opposes motion and causes objects to slow down
d) The state of a planet rotating faster than it orbits its star

Question 4

4.

Question 4: If you must do trivia, do it this way

example

Which planet has the following traits: The most eccentric orbit, a magnetosphere, and no moons,
a) mercury
b) venus
c) pluto
d) uranus

Question 6

6.

Mrs. Ayodele would like you to present to LS1 during the physics session. I would like each presentation to spend more time talking about forces - gravity, tidal forces, elliptical orbits moving faster and slower at different points in the orbit, that sort of thing. Consider your planet - how would you change your presentation to just talk about some aspect of gravity on your planet?

Question 7

7.

I want you to spend the majority of this weekend taking your time on your test. But when you are done come back here and watch this video to prep you for next week.

I know it was very clear that it was talking about mechanical aves and not electromagnetic waves, we will discuss the difference in class, as well as understanding what we need to understand about mechanical waves that will help us understand light.
