Week Four
Watch the video below:
Glass Test from Wes Neal on Vimeo.
Why do you think the different glasses made different sounds? Do not be tempted to simply say that they are different sizes and shapes. Use what we have learned so far about glass making, as well as your own research to draw your conclusions. Using this information, why do you think that different glass looks different. Be specific in your answer, record it as a video or AudioBoo, and post it to your blog.

Great job Wes. Should be a great video to get conversation going.
ReplyDeleteCool idea!! This is a great way to engage the students. I'll bet more than a few will start banging on mom's stemware at home.
ReplyDeleteGreat video. Great conversation starter on the difference between production methods, types of glass, etc. I can see this branching out into other presentations... either created by you or your students.
ReplyDeleteI like the hook of the video. Quite the attention getter. I like it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea for the class. I must admit to being jealous that you came up with it and I did not. Keep the great ideas flowing; my students can definitely use your input.
ReplyDeleteI know your students will go around doing this themselves! What a great way to provide motivation for learning!
ReplyDeleteLove the video. Sometimes simple homemade videos are best to drive the point home to students integrating science content.
ReplyDeleteExcellent lesson on the physics of sound and the differing characteristics of glass.
