1. List your group's top 3 questions as chosen in class.
a. What causes thermal energy?
b. What factors effect thermal energy?
c. What is thermal energy?
2. Write a short description of how you would like those questions to be used in class? (direct my videos? start a lab?)
a. I think this question would be best answered in a lecture format because its more open. The causes could start an explanation of why it causes thermal energy and just one small answer wouldn't suffice in providing enough information.
b. I think this would be good in lab or video use. The lab could show exactly WHAT effects thermal energy and we could see at first hand the factors instead of being told what they were. The video usage of this question would also work because we get to see some sort of visual of what effects thermal energy.... so I think visuals just help the understanding of factors....
c. I think this would work in lecture form because the question in more open which would provoke discussion in the class. Like there could be different explanations of thermal energy that would make sense to different people which in a whole helps explain it to other people.... Does that make sense? Like the broad discussion of what it is would help me understand the specifics of thermal energy.
3. Reflect on the whole process. Meaning, you should describe what the process of coming up with and refining your questions was like. Easy? Hard? Interesting? Do you think it will be easier next time?
-->The process in a whole what quite easy because formulating a question about something don't know just naturally provokes question-asking just to find out what I want to know. I don't know if it will be easier next time because it depends on the topic and question given. The thermal energy one was quite easy because I kind of knew what thermal energy was from chemistry.
