Introduction
Starting up a wiki page in order to host collaborative lesson plan designs. For the open course I would like to develop a unit focussed on Earth sciences - possibly layers of the earth or tectonic activity... Below is an example of my lesson planning:

Unit Inquiry Investigation
Salt – Properties of salt water and their affects on everyday life. (Two day project or 90 minute period).

A.	Pre-Planning 1.	Standards and Benchmarks:

Science
Scientific inquiry is the investigation of the natural world based on observations and science principles that includes proposing questions or hypotheses, designing procedures for questioning, collecting, analyzing, and interpreting multiple forms of accurate and relevant data to produce justifiable evidence-based explanations. 7.3S.1 Based on observations and science principles, propose questions or hypotheses that can be examined through scientific investigation. Design and conduct a scientific investigation that uses appropriate tools and techniques to collect relevant data. 7.3S.2 Organize, display, and analyze relevant data, construct an evidence-based explanation of the results of an investigation, and communicate the conclusions including possible sources of error. 7.3S.3 Evaluate the validity of scientific explanations and conclusions based on the amount and quality of the evidence cited.

Research Report Writing
Investigate topics of interest and importance across the subject areas, selecting appropriate media sources, using effective research processes, and demonstrating ethical use of resources and materials. EL.07.WR.31 Identify topics; ask and evaluate questions; and develop ideas leading to inquiry, investigation, and research. EL.07.WR.32 Use effective note-taking techniques to ensure appropriate documentation of quoted as well as paraphrased material. EL.07.WR.33 Check the validity and accuracy of information obtained from research, including differentiating fact from opinion, and identifying strong versus weak arguments, recognizing that personal values influence the conclusions an author draws. EL.07.WR.34 Create documents by using word-processing skills and publishing programs; develop simple databases and spreadsheets to manage information and prepare reports.

Goal
The seventh grade students at S.A.L.T. Academy will investigate the properties of two unknown liquids developing a hypothesis, collecting data, and proving or disproving their hypothesis using problems solving, science process skills and the scientific method.

Behavioral Objective
Given two unknown liquids, mixed ability student lab groups will develop a hypothesis about the nature of the two liquids writing this hypothesis on their lab sheet in the correct form with 100% accuracy. Domains – C – 2, 3, 4 A – 1, 2, 3 PI – Completed lab worksheet (pre-lab portion) with hypothesis written in the correct form without errors.

Given two unknown liquids, lab equipment, and instructional lab procedure worksheets as well as instructor facilitation mixed-ability student lab groups will record lab data with 100% accuracy. Domains – C – 1, 2, 3, A – 1, P – 1, 2 PI – Completed lab worksheet (data section) with 100% accurate data.

Given two unknown liquids, lab equipment, and instructional lab procedure worksheets, instructor facilitation and guided questions, and lab data, mixed ability student lab groups will evaluate the veracity of their hypothesis by recording their conclusion (true or false) and explaining why they came to this conclusion using at least two facts from their data to support their claim. Domains – C – 4, 5, 6, A – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 PI – Completed lab worksheet (Post lab analysis section) with at least two facts and a claim, true or false, about their hypothesis.

Differentiation Strategies
Worksheets and a copy of the lab procedures will be sent ahead of time to the resource room teacher and sign language interpreters to support those students. The ELL teacher will receive vocabulary and concepts introduced during this lesson for review as well as a second version of the handouts written in the student’s first language. Materials will be sent ahead of time to the appropriate resource for enlargements and other modifications for the student with vision-impairments. All students will be monitored during the lesson to compensate for reading and written language disabilities. Any students doing a modified assignment will have an additional set of instructions geared towards their version. Students with an aptitude for this class or identified TAG in this area will be assigned as lab assistants, learning how to care for and manage a lab for others. Any physical disabilities will be accommodated for by a modified lab station and other needed accommodations. Additionally the lesson is prepared with lab instructions available through demonstration (recorded on iTouch devices available in the room) as a video. Students are grouped with students of different learning styles as well. The instructor will circulate and monitor student lab use to model and direct students.

Safety Considerations
Lab precautions and equipment will be explained and in use as students identify the unknown liquids.

Teacher/Classroom
Posted lab safety regulations White boards around the room iTouch devices with video demonstration pre-loaded Lab stations set up (Per Group) One buzzer One 9 volt battery Two insulated wires with alligator clips 30 cm in length Masking tape Two craft sticks Aluminum foil Two beakers One beaker “X” – distilled water One beaker “Y” – salt water (sea salt or actual salt water) One egg Two thermometers Spoon One hot plate or Bunsen burner or alcohol burner Beaker tongs

Students
Guiding questions Student Lab Investigation Worksheets Writing utensil Science Journals

Pre-requisites
Students will have knowledge of salt water’s properties from a previous lecture and independent research assignment. They will also be familiar with scientific inquiry labs.

Implementation
Motivator: (Anticipatory Set) “I want everyone to look at these two glasses of water.” Demonstrate two glasses of water – one salt, the other distilled. “If I told you to choose one and you had to drink the entire glass, how would you figure out which one was salt and which one was pure without tasting either first?” “Discuss your ideas with the people near you then write down the best two ideas and be ready to share them with the class.” (Demonstrate the liquids and share the ideas around the room, discussing the benefits and negatives to each idea).

Statement of Objective
“Today we will discover what each of these liquids contains using the scientific method.”

Statement of Purpose
“By investigating in this way we will be able to hone our problem solving skills as well as learn about a couple ways to discover the properties of matter.”

Input
Discuss the procedures for each part demonstrating how to do each step.

Part 1 - Conductivity
Students: Cover the two craft sticks with aluminum foil; ensure the foil fits tightly around the sticks Students clip one wire to each craft stick Label each beaker, 1 and 2 Add water from beaker “X” to beaker “1” Add water from beaker “Y” to beaker “2” Connect one wire to both craft sticks Connect one wire to the positive terminal of the battery Connect the other wire to the negative terminal of the battery Place both craft sticks in beaker “1” and record their observations Place both craft sticks in beaker “2” and record their observations

Part 2 - Buoyancy
Students: Place the egg in beaker “1” with spoon gently and record their observations Place the egg in beaker “2” with spoon gently and record their observations

Part 3 - Boiling Point
Students: Place a thermometer in both beakers “1” and “2” Place both beakers on a hot plate Record their observations and temperatures at which beaker “1” and beaker “2” begin to boil

Student Questions
to guide students in answering for the validity of their hypothesis.

Part 1
Did the buzzer sound when you group placed craft sticks in either of the beakers? Why do you think the buzzer sounded when craft sticks were placed beaker “2”? (Accept all answers)

Part 2
Did the egg float in either of the beakers? Why do you think the egg floated in beaker “2”? (Accept all answers). Do you think there are any properties in beaker “2” that allow the buzzer to sound and the egg to float?

Part 3
Which beaker had the highest temperature when the water started to boil? Why do think beaker “2” had the highest temperature? Do you think there are any properties in beaker “2” that allow the buzzer to sound, egg to float, and have the highest boiling temperature? Can you provide any examples of where you may have seen similar things happen? What do you think is in beaker “1”?

Additional questions can be developed based on student responses.

Guided Practice
In small groups students follow the lab procedures with instructor circulating the room to insure safety and that the lab procedures are being followed correctly.

Closure
“Before you leave you will write two things in your science journal. First write down which experiment made the most sense to you and why you think it worked. Second write down any ideas you have on something you would like to investigate as an inquiry project in your science journal. Leave both your journal and your lab worksheets on my desk.”

Independent Practice
Students are assigned the task of researching their own inquiry project and begin to develop a hypothesis.

E-Portfolio
Week 1

Looking at the unit outline I was quite terrified at the amount of technology that seems to be involved in the assessments. However, after listening to the lecture and having the individual assessments broken down, the tasks seem much more manageable and almost fun. To start with, I guess the best questions would be what is motivation, and what is emotion? My initial impressions/definitions:

These are not very concise definitions so I will refer to the textbook for actual definitions. Motivation is what drives behaviours, and what gives behaviours their drive and energy (Reeve, 2009).
 * Motivation is what makes people do things. There are different types of motivation- motivation to achieve, to attain (e.g. food, money), and motivation to avoid.
 * Emotion is what we feel. It is a response to a stimulus.

Emotion is the complex psychophysiological experience in an individual’s state of mind. Some initial questions I have, and that I hope to be able to answer by the end of the year are:
 * What motivates people to do things they don’t want to do?
 * Is it really possible to have no motivation what so ever? What are the outcomes of low levels of motivation?
 * What motivates me?

Mathematic Models of HPA Axis

Mathematical models of Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis

Anatomy

 * Hypothalamus - Activated by stress to release CRH, negative feedback from Cortisol
 * Pituitary gland - Activated by CRH to release ACTH, negative feedback from Cortisol
 * Adrenal glands - Activated by ACTH to release Cortisol

Chemistry

 * CRH
 * ACTH
 * Cortisol

Receptors

 * Glucocorticoid Receptor
 * MR

GR Expression model (Gupta et. al)
(using equations and notation from http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000273 )

 * F - input to system, stress, stimulates hypothalamus
 * C - CRH, released by Hypothalamus, stimulates pituitary
 * A - ACTH, released by pituitary, stimulates adrenals
 * O - Cortisol, output of the system, inhibits production of both CRH and ACTH

Constant Degradation Rate
This model assumes that all three chemicals undergo degradation, each at their own constant rates.
 * $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{C}}{\mathrm{d}t} = -K_{cd}$$
 * $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{A}}{\mathrm{d}t} = -K_{ad}$$
 * $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{O}}{\mathrm{d}t} = -K_{od}$$

Inputs to Hypothalamus
In this model, the hypothalamus is stimulated by two sources-- circadian rhythm input (K_c) and stress input (F):
 * Input = $$K_c + F$$

Cortisol inhibition of Hypothalamus sensitivity
In this model, Cortisol decreases hypothalamic sensitivity to input:
 * $$\left (1-\frac{O}{K_{il}}\right )$$

That is-- When O=0, sensitivity would be at 100%. As O increases, sensitivity decreases.

CRH equation

 * Stress stimulation
 * Circadian stimulation
 * Linear inhibition from Cortisol
 * Linear Degradation

Cortisol Equation (Adrenals equation)
Cortisol production is stimulated by ACTH. Additionally, cortisol undergoes linear degradation.
 * ACTH stimulation    $$K_OA$$
 * Linear Degradation  $$-K_{od}$$

Both effects are captured in the following equation:
 * $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{O}}{\mathrm{d}t} =K_OA - K_{od}O$$

CRH Equation (Hypothalamus Equation)

 * $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{C}}{\mathrm{d}t} = ( K_c +F ) * \left (1-\frac{O}{K_{i1}}\right ) - K_{cd}C$$

ACTH Equation (Pituitary Equation)

 * $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{A}}{\mathrm{d}t} = K_a C * \left (1-\frac{O}{K_{i2}}\right ) - K_{ad}A$$

The sport workplace/The employment interview

The interview for employment is usually a critical step for the aspiring applicant. The following checklist is provided for my university class who are studying industrial relations in sport. Part of this unit relates to obtaining a position in a sport organisation as industrial relations have most relevance for persons who are employed in the workplace! The points noted below will not all apply to every interview situation and students are advised to read through the checklist, consider the merits and relevance of noting the point made and file the checklist for future reference. I am happy for the list to be added to and that will also assist my students! Remember that the following are only suggestions and carry no guarantees! remember also, you are special people to your NISS (National Institute of Sport Sport/Sport Studies lecturing team. I am happy to assist any of you when preparing a job application or facing a job interview.

Prior to the interview

 * 1) Learn about the (sport)organisation.  What is its mission?  What is its structure?  Who are the key personnel?  What are its main services and/or products?  Check the sport organisation websites.  Does it have brochures or information?  Does it have organised tours you can go on?  Are there any links on its website?  Do you know anyone who has worked for that organisation?  (Be prudent about what you accept as accurate as the person may have a particular stance on the organisation.)  What information does your library have?  What information is on other websites?
 * 2) Prepare the folder you will take with you to the interview.  Make it attractive and simple.  It should be orderly and have material easy to locate if you need to use it to illustrate an answer.  It will contain your CV and/or resume, copies of your professional card, your qualifications, references and, possibly, samples of your work or significant letters of thanks or appreciation. Check your letter of application and your resume and highlight the relevant points.
 * 3) Where will the interview be held?  Are you certain of the exact location?  Time your travel to the site.  Often it helps your peace of mind if you have a practice run of travelling to the interview place on the same day of the week as your interview will be held.  Where will you park, if driving?
 * 4) Arrive early - not hours early but with time to relax, to arrange to leave a coat or umbrella or briefcase with the receptionist, time to go the restroom and freshen up and time to read any extra information the receptionist may provide.  An early arrival allows for traffic difficulties and also means you are on the spot if the previous interview finishes early or is terminated.  (I know, I know, that could be a worry!)
 * 5) Know what you will wear and dress appropriately.  It is better to slightly overdress rather than appear to be too casual.  If you feel really unsure about how to dress appropriately you could recall how employees were dressed when you visited the organisation or did an internship there or could check out the employees leaving the building if you are really uncertain!  If you get really nervous and perspire readily then dress appropriately e.g. with a shirt or blouse that does not show perspiration.  Some interviewers may make a judgement on your facility for tidiness, your apparent 'fit' with the organisation and thoughtfulness in dressing appropriately.  (We advise against wearing board shorts or a brief mini-skirt and beach footwear thongs for most executive positions!)  Take a clean handkerchief or tissues in your pocket - I know you are great students and will (probably!) not burst into tears but what if you sneeze - particularly if you are affected by hay fever?
 * 6) Prepare a list of questions you could be asked and prepare your answers.  Relate answers to your experience, attitude or qualifications.
 * 7) Prepare your responses to questions on each of the selection criteria.  Ensure you have concise but compelling examples to illustrate your replies e.g. situational examples of your ability to solve problems, handle conflict, show leadership, exhibiting of skills of communication or relating to a challenging employee...we will be discussing leadership in a later part of this unit and it is handy to have a definition of leadership that you can talk to.
 * 8) Check yourself out with a practice, an interview simulation.  You could video this to help you check your body language and general demeanour. have a friend or family member ask questions that you expect could be asked.
 * 9) You may be required to undertake a police check or a health check for particular jobs.  You may be required to sit a recruitment agency test such as an aptitude test, an IQ test or test of general knowledge or sport industry knowledge.  You could read about these but remember you cannot get the job if you do not sit the test so relax and be thoughtful and honest!
 * 10) Even if you want a nervous ciggie before the interview we suggest that you don't smoke beforehand as the smell of smoke hangs on to clothes.  (Easy for me to say as a non-smoker but some employers are put off an applicant who reeks of garlic or cigarette smoke etc.!)
 * 11) Remember - the challenge will not be in presenting yourself as much as it will be in knowing yourself...

At the interview

 * 1) Turn off your cell phone - it's too late for that special person to call you with support!
 * 2) Treat the receptionist pleasantly.  They are important in their own right.
 * 3) Ensure you know the names of the panel members from the receptionist, if this can be done,and their responsibilities or employer roles.  Ask the receptionist to clarify any name pronunciation you are uncertain of.  Yes, you may have the fabled memory of an elephant but do write the names in your folder.  You may wish to write a name phonetically as well.
 * 4) When you enter do mentally check the names off so you can address each person correctly.  Do not use first names unless you are asked to do so.
 * 5) Shake hands firmly and, immensely strong though you may be, do not have a crushing grip!  Do not sit down until you are asked to do so.
 * 6) Use clear, concise, coherent and compelling examples to illustrate your answers - do not overdo this though!
 * 7) Don't give offhand replies or flippant retorts.  So, ya gonna come out and say "I done well"...Oh no you're not!  Use correct grammar, speak clearly, do not rush into an answer but do not unduly delay a response and use correct grammar and pronunciation.  Make sure you avoid slang but do convey a sense of humour without being risque or telling jokes.  If the interviewee is asked a simple questions such as "How are you?" they should treat the question with respect by not grunting "Okay" but simply replying with a statement such as "I'm very well,thank you."
 * 8) Your body language is often critical in helping the interviewers make judgements about you.  Sit upright and retain good posture.  Have eye contact with your interviewer unless it is not culturally appropriate for you.  Don't fidget. Do not shift aimlessly.  Be firm in responses but not aggressive.
 * 9) Avoid being negative.  Some jobs are lost because the applicant made detrimental comments about a previous boss or employer!  This may require you you to express what you feel is a potential negative comment or judgement in a more positive way.  Instead of saying "S/he was useless!" you could say something like "I found some decisions difficult to follow as they did not seem to follow any gathering of information."
 * 10) Avoid "um" and "ah".  It is better to reflect briefly on the question and draw upon your experience and common sense than to stumble into an immediate reply.  Do not rush into your answers.
 * 11) If a drink is provided (it will probably be water!) then sip it - as against noisy drinking!
 * 12) Look interested and do not let your mind wander - yes, you may have an exciting Sport As Entertainment lecture later in the day but, for now, CONCENTRATE on the interview!  You need to listen carefully - if you are not sure what was asked, or something is unclear, then ask for clarification.  Don't do this too frequently folks!
 * 13) Avoid language that dates you.
 * 14) If you are left in the room alone, while the panel retires then be sensible!  I say that, having heard tales about an interview room (Board Room) that had a CCTV camera in it!
 * 15) Do not check your watch while being interviewed - you can imagine the inference of such an action!
 * 16) You may get some left-field questions such as "If you were a colour/dog/movie/famous person/plant/book etc. what would you be?"  If not prepared for that then give a middle-of-the-road response that illustrates personal warmth and a sense of reality and/or efficiency...
 * 17) In a reply you may want to add a rider saying you are happy to give more detail if required.
 * 18) Be honest.
 * 19) Avoid volunteering information that is not relevant or was not asked for.
 * 20) Despite privacy laws against certain questions on private circumstances etc. there are still interviewers who ask these.  If you are asked a question that you find unduly intrusive or unlawful or offensive then you could reply pleasantly by asking the relevance of that question to the job or position for which you are being interviewed.  You could also give a reply such as "There is nothing in my personal circumstances that would adversely affect my doing a great job for your organisation."  (You may wish to reflect later on whether you really want to work for someone who asks such questions.)
 * 21) Possible questions...see A.6 and A.7 above.
 * 22) Tell us about yourself  (reply with professional/experiential information and a little personal information)
 * 23) Why are you applying for a position with us?
 * 24) What are your strengths and weaknesses?  (Be honest but place your answers in the context of professional growth.  A prospective employer would rather hear an applicant say "I messed that up initially..." than hear a cover-up or an example of such little importance that the applicant seems to hide something or not recognise their own faults.  You could refer to your last appraisal if that fits.)
 * 25) What are your professional goals?
 * 26) Can you give us some examples of your leadership (or management) style?
 * 27) How do you handle stress?  (Please spare relating this to being in one of our classes!)
 * 28) How would you handle a difficult client (or fellow employee)?
 * 29) Are you planning to gain further qualifications?  (You could relate this to what would best fit needs of your new position.)
 * 30) What is the most difficult/challenging decision you have had to make in the workplace?
 * 31) Can you give an example of a conflict situation you have been in and explain how that was resolved?
 * 32) Are you an ethical person?
 * 33) Why are you leaving your present job?  (Be honest and explain how you have enjoyed it and learned a lot but want to expand your career in ways the present organisation does not provide.)
 * 34) Why should we employ you?  (The 'fit' their organisation has with your skills and experience and career development.  Investment in you...you bring added value to the new organisation...specific relevant experiences...you feel you have made a valued contribution to your present employer but wish to grow further in the sport industry and are excited by the 'new' organisation...
 * 35) Where do you want to be in 5 or 10 years?
 * 36) What is your present salary?  (Be honest - you might wish to say something like "I am on the C salary scale in our firm which is the $75,000-$95,000 scale.")
 * 37) If asked about what salary you are seeking in the 'new' organisation you could say you would like to wait until you and the 'new' employer agree that you are the best person for the job.  You can say pleasantly that you are aware of your market value but job satisfaction is a critical factor with you.
 * 38) Should you wish to ask questions, or if you are asked if you have any questions, then consider the following: Appointment date...Organisation's plans or goals for the next five years...opportunities for promotion..what is expected of you...orientation or induction programme...how you will be appraised...support for study or further training...if the organisation is part of an international sport body or one with overseas links you may wish to know if your appointment would give the opportunity to learn from overseas branches (I would not over-emphasise this when interviewed!)

PHEW...you know, we think you're going to get this plum job!

Post interview

 * 1) Thank the panel - it would be a positive to thank them each by name when shaking hands.
 * 2) Check on the next step in the appointment process.
 * 3) Send a thank-you letter.
 * 4) Do not be presumptuous in chasing up the interview before the due date!
 * 5) If a recruitment agency is handling the appointment with the sport organisation then they may assist you in salary negotiations once you are appointed.
 * 6) When you get home write down the questions you were asked and any relevant notes about your answers - just in case they were blind to your excellence and gave the job to someone else!
 * 7)  Remember!  Only one person gets appointed and we all will miss out on a job some time!  We then take learning from that experience into positives to maximise the next application and interview.
