Notes for teachers

Part 1 is understanding the soldering kit and components

Part 2 is building the kit

Part 3 is dissecting the kit (additive vs subtractive colors and wavelengths)

Part 4 is presenting what you have learned via powerpoint or google slides

Objective:

Today you will compile the information that you have learned through your hands on activity into a presentation and share this with the class.

6 of 10

Agenda (three days)

– 60 minutes to create a presentation with their group that will be shared out with the rest of the students (the next day).

– 10 minutes taking pictures of their project to upload to their slides. Pictures of their notebooks with entries and drawings/research must be included.

–40 minutes working together in a shared report and deciding who will be responsible for creating and presenting which portion of their documentation

–10 minutes of practice for the presentation

Presentations will be the next day.

Students must work together to build a cohesive presentation.

Intro

Make sure you address all the new information that you discovered through the hands on activities and the research. Make your presentations clear and easy to follow. Address any misconceptions. Address any incorrect hypotheses.

Hands-on Activity Instructions

Create a shared document for all to work on in google slides.
Assign someone to take pictures of your soldering project in action.
Make your presentation cohesive.
Practice your presentation.

Follow the rubric on the next page.

Assessment	Advanced(5)	Proficient(4)	Developing(3)	Beginning(2)
Phase 1 Problem Definition
Initial problem is identified and a problem statement is clear/concise.	Problem is relevant and clearly stated	–	–	Problems relevance is unclear
Criteria/Constraints identified	Criteria and constraints are relevant	–	–	missing
Phase 2 Design Explored –Explain what materials were used and why	Complete pictures and materials lists	Most information and most materials	Some information and some materials	No information
Phase 3 Design Organization –Explain what the circuit was and what was produced	Clear concise descriptions show excellent understanding of circuit	Clear descriptions show good understanding of circuit	Some concise descriptions show understanding of circuit	Few descriptions show little understanding of circuit
Phase 4 Design Communication ––Explain what you learned about circuits –Explain what you learned about soldering –How does the circuit work? –How are the different light colors produced? –Is this additive or subtractive? –How are wavelengths related to the colors seen?	All 5 questions answered clearly with pictures documented and excellent group work	Most questions answered clearly with pictures documented and good group work	Some questions answered clearly with pictures documented and moderate group work	Some questions answered clearly with pictures documented and poor group work
Reflection Pull it all together	Demonstrates full understanding and justifies process	Some concepts missed but justifies process	Many concepts missed Insufficient justification	No learning evidenced
References/citations (at least 5 total) APA	5 relevant in APA format	4 relevant in APA format	3 relevant in APA format	2 relevant in APA format

Differentiation

Allow students to focus on a limited number of ideas for their presentation.

Allow students to use a site like Flip (formerly FlipGrid) to record a voiced-over slide deck/presentation.

Remediation

Extension/Enrichment

Have students incorporate real world problems that can be solved with soldering in their presentations.
