=Example Collaborative Lesson=

We are going to try a little collaborative math and science...

I. Sandbox...Go to this applet and "play around". Compare it to your pendulum. Go to: @http://bit.ly/iazjzN

With a partner think about...

1.) What is different between your pendulum and the applet? 2.) What can you measure? 3.) What can you alter? 4.) What simple observations can you make?

Note your observations on: @http://bit.ly/eEBShD

II. Next steps, how would each of you go about designing an experiment to test a different variable if the dependent variable (the thing you measured) was time?

III. Discussion

IV. Student Pages

Student 1 Student 2 Student 3

or Pair 1, Pair 2, etc.
