How is technology transforming education?
“Proficiency with technology allows students to succeed in college and careers. The Common Core Standards include basic technology skills to help them succeed; but in the bigger picture, they call for students to use technology to help them learn in all areas.”
“Whether it be using tools to solve math problems, to access information, or to promote literacy and communication skills, technology is part of the learning solution. It needs to be viewed that way rather than a separate competency.”
-James Brock

The Physics of Flight Forces & Motion
A force is a push or pull on
an object. Forces occur in different forms
What Force is pulling Lebron James towards the floor?
GRAVITY!
Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects
towards the ground.
Moving through air is similar to moving through water.
Objects moving through the air experience the force of Friction.
GRAVITY
DRAG
Gravity & Friction Resist Flight
LIFT
THRUST
Flight Requires the Forces of Thrust and Lift
Thrust is a force that sets objects into motion.
How do birds & planes produce thrust & lift?
Gravity & Friction Resist Motion
Birds generate thrust with their wings.
Airplanes generate thrust with powerful engines that burn liquid fuel.
Wings Provide Lift
Fixed Wing Moveable Wing
How do wings generate Lift?
Notice the pattern of air flow over the wings.
When air flows over a wing it accelerates.
Differences in air pressure above & below the wing create lift.
LIFT
THRUSTGRAVITY
DRAG
Forces Acting on an Airplane
When the forces of thrust and lift are greater than the forces of gravity and
drag, birds & planes can fly.
...and dragonflies
Bats too!

The SAMR Model
The SAMR ModelA model designed to help educators infuse
technology into teaching and learning. Developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the model supports and enables teachers to
design, develop, and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology.
SUBSTITUTION Tech acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change.
AUGMENTATION Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with with functional improvement.
MODIFICATION Tech allows for significant task redesign.
REDEFINITION Tech allows for creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

Electricity and Circuits
Electricity A form of energy resulting from the movement of electrons.
Energy Blues
Atoms contain Protons, Neutrons & Electrons
Electrons make Electricity
Two Types of Electricity
1. Static Electricity 2. Current Electricity
Static Electricity
Current Electricity The movement of electrons through a material such as a wire
Electric Circuit: a complete path through which electrons can easily move.
Current electricity flows through a pathway called a circuit
Circuits are made from materials called conductors (metals such as copper & gold) through which electrons easily move.
