E. Procedure: 1. Students will come right in, get handed back their materials and continue to work on their projects. 2. When students are done with this portion of their project, students will start on the second half of their project. 3. CLOSURE: Students will have to turn in their material and talk about the project. F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding? The progress they have made on their projects will be what I use to measure their understanding. Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.

Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach? The whole lesson will be pretty easy; all I have to do is explain the project. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? Nothing will be challenging. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? After completing the project, having students make a model of it. 4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? Help them with what they do not understand. 5.
