Ping Pong Activity

October 21st, 2008

Today we began class with a discussion on chapters five ans six. We worked through the different topics within each chapter and answered various questions from the reading module. After the class discussion was complete, we participated in the Ping Pong activity. The Ping Pong activity was a lot of fun, and would be for students. Also, this activity would be very useful when teaching gravity and the movement of air. In order participate in this activity, students need to understand the different characteristics of how air travels and was causes air to move in a given direction. Overall, I really enjoyed participating in this activity because it created some excitement within our group because we were seeing who could blow the Ping Pong ball harder to make it go farther.
