Re: [IAEP] Physics - Lesson plans ideas?

I might try these next week and see how they go: does altering the size of an object affect its drop time? does joining objects together (large and small) affect drop time? does altering the length of a pendulum affect its swing time? before doing the above say what you think will happen after doi

Hi, Thinking about how to involve more Spanish speakers into IRC meetings, it's available a transbot between #sugar-meeting and the new #sugar-reunion channels. Spanish users can join #sugar-reunion and all sentences will be translated to english into #sugar-meeting channel and vice versa. Docume

[IAEP] Request for new features for Measure

Hello, I have been working with the Measure activity for a while now, using some un-expensive sensors (humidity, temperature, light, magnet, etc), which can be connected to the Mic port. I would like to get two other features added to measure. 1) Invert the curve of the reading of sensor: Some o

Ok, I think what's happening here is a breakdown in communication. When I used the term obvious, I was talking about Christoph's email... I was stating that perhaps the message, as I understood it, was that we need more data from the field... and that _the message_ was not obvious enough in the ema

Re: [IAEP] Physics - Lesson plans ideas?

Yes, I think thats a good idea. Also maybe its engineering principals not Physics that should be the learning objectives. What I'm realizing is that really I'm giving demos to teachers about h0w to use Sugar to support learning. So what I want is a bunch of lessons using various different activit

Re: [IAEP] Physics - Lesson plans ideas?

one possibility would be to not attempt to teach physics but to make a game good for introduction and also for teamwork see http://xo-whs2009.blogspot.com/2009/08/wow-factor-physics.html http://xo-whs2009.blogspot.com/2009/08/physics
