Day 1- June 9, 2014
1. Call students one-by-one according to the list. (if there is)
2. Introduce oneself first and give a little background.
3. Enumerate the rules during class discussion.
4. Allow students to add some more rules that they think are relevant.
5. Enumerate the requirements and allow them to copy the criteria for grading. (do not forget
then explain each criteria for grading)
6. Illustrate a sample grading computation.
7. Let the students write a paragraph form something that they expect from the teacher.
(Read the class some expectation)
8. End up the meeting by letting the students know that they will get to know more of the
subject next meeting.

Day 2 – June 10, 2014

1. Have a simple game. (Ask them what kind of game they want to play)
2. Give them a diagnostic test and let them assess their own score/grade.
Day 3 – June 11, 2014
1. Have a short discussion about what they did last 2 days.
2. Tell them that they will formally begin the discussion for Science and Technology IV.
3. Flash a picture of Gadget, Television, and Computer.
4. Flash a picture comparing the lifestyle several decades ago that of present.
5. Ask the students to comment on the pictures comparing the lifestyle several decades ago
and that of present.
6. Ask them to predict what will be the situation 20 years from now.
7. Ask students to define physics in their own words

 8. Explain the meaning of physics and the different divisions of physics.
9. REACTION: Recognition and appreciation of the role of physics as the foundation of modern
technology.
10. Give them assignment:
