Wiki Assignment


Welcome to the group STSE wiki page!

 

This assignment will allow students to focus on one aspect of electric, magnetic, or gravitational fields in depth and explore scientific principles and technological applications in "real-life" scenarios. When all groups have completed and posted their assignments, the class wiki will contain a page for each course that will serve as a valuable resource for all students. 

 

Assignment Expectations

 

Each group of 2-3 students will choose one application of electric, magnetic, or gravitational fields. For that application, the students will provide:

 

Evaluation Criteria

 

Assessment will be based on scientific completeness, applicability of links and resources, and coherence and clarity in writing. Wikis will be evaluated using the rubric attached below by Mr. Brichta and other students in the class.

 

Due Dates / Deliverables

 

Friday, April 1: By the end of class, you must inform Mr. Brichta who is in your group (remember, there must be two or three group members).

Thursday, April 7 (changed): By the end of class, you must inform Mr. Brichta of your group's topic. Each group must do a unique topic, so if you are desperate to do electric bug zappers, you may wish to tell Mr. Brichta early.

Thursday, April 21: Wikis are due by noon, posted to the class wiki in the appropriate folder. Some of these may be discussed in class that day.
