Temperature & Measurement Study Guide
This is a list of things you should know from the materials to pass the assessment.
Session Schedule
Learning Gigs are self-paced and this schedule is only an aid for a classroom setting.- Watch introductory video.
- Read and review project.
- Have group discussion and plan for project.
- Students spend time reviewing materials.
- Review slides with vocabulary as group.
- Project: Each student solves one conversion on whiteboard. If they did Fahrenheit one day, do Celsius the next.
- Watch other videos as group and allow pausing for questions.
- Group review for clarification.
- Review study guide to be sure students know what to study.
- Review slides with examples as group.
- Project: Each student solves one conversion on whiteboard. If they did Fahrenheit one day, do Celsius the next.
- Review study guide to be sure students know what to study.
- Review slides with vocabulary as group.
- Project: Each student solves one conversion on whiteboard. If they did Fahrenheit one day, do Celsius the next.
- Instructor gives feedback and passes students who demonstrate mastery.
- Review study guide.
- Student-led review of slides with examples as group.
- Students should ask lingering questions.
- All project work must be completed before assessment.
- Review slides and study guide.
- Take assessment. If student does not pass, they should note what area was not known and study for the next day to retake.
Session: 1
Starting the lesson gives students a quick overview and time to review the project for the week and form teams if needed.
Session: 2
Day 2, 3, and 4 are time for students to work on projects and study the materials.
Session: 3
Most of this day should allow students to work on projects.
Session: 4
Depending on student progress, the 4th day can be for project feedback or to finish projects they are completing.
Session: 5
Assessment Day: Students have time to ask final questions, finalize project work, and review materials and study guide before they take the assessment.
