Objective create a strong classroom culture and to review science classroom safety and equipment. Opening Activity: Walk and Talk Find a partner in the class Question Prompt: What were some things that went well in your classes first semester. What were some things that you struggled with? What strategies can be used to help improve the areas that were a struggle **Tomorrow Will be a Half Day due to staff development** When returning to the classroom, get in Color Pencil alike groups and complete the survival game below

4 PLTW, Wednesday, February 1st , 2017
***Half Day due to staff development*** Objective: To understand how calories are counted in food as well as how to measure caloric burning. We will go through some FAQ’s on lab work, lab safety and enrichment opportunities. We will complete the Lab on Thursday, February 2nd Sigma Xi Lecture February 21st Obtain 2 Career Journals and complete Career Journals on Biochemist as well as Food Scientist or Food Technologist Due Friday, February 3rd Quiz on Friday on photosynthesis and respiration as well as calorimetry

5 Lab Setup so that burning food is as close to water can as possible

6 Troubleshooting Calorimetry
FAQ: 1. Computer is not working. (What is not working about the computer, log in? Slow internet, computer does not turn on?) * push power button and hold until computer shuts off and turn back on. Turn off computer immediately after logging off when complete *Try another computer, but have another member of the group try logging on to the different computer as after frustration sets in with a computer, then small mistakes occur adding to further frustration, and further mistakes. A new set of eyes can greatly help reduce tension and stress. **Remember, it is the process that is the true learning, not the product. We are not yet paying you to burn Cheetos and measure their output. We are seeing how you collaboratively work together to create new ideas and find creative solutions 2. Vernier and probe are not working. There are a number of reasons why the computer system may not be working. Go through each step in detail and plug back system until the green start button comes on. If this step fails, try another Vernier probe and equipment. Probes break, software goes afoul, this is that all menacing “real world” that your family and teachers have been threatening you with for so long Put in Vernier Probe and Lab quest BEFORE opening program on laptop will ensure success Eventually, you and your group will solve the problem, and that is success! That is learning, and that is the complete goal of this lab. 3. Vernier Equipment is not picking up information * are the foods right next to can with the water? The distance between the burning food and the can with water may contribute to the lack of data being produce. *the probe may not be fully in the water. Make sure your probe is completely submerged in the water so that it can read the temperature increase. 4. My face is on fire! Did you wear your goggles? 5. Why are you letting us use fire? Evolution
