Social Networking Assignment
This week's assignment is to participate in our class resource pages.
You need to access three (3) different social networking sites.
1. The first is Skype. Did you think that physics was all physics-disovery-ed out? Our class will take a Skype-enabled tour of a physics lab to see how physicists today are doing experiments with molecules and atoms.

1. The first is Skype. Did you think that physics was all physics-disovery-ed out? Our class will take a Skype-enabled tour of a physics lab to see how physicists today are doing experiments with molecules and atoms.
2. The second networking site that you will need to access is MyBigCampus. Use your district assigned username and password to login to MBC. Once you are there, go to our group page and watch the video about Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment. When you are finished watching the explanation of the experiment, look online for other materials/elements that could be used to reproduce a similar experiment. (Could the foil have been aluminum? If so, what would have been different? What about a different element?) Be sure to make a hypothesis about the material you chose. How would the experiment need to change from the original? Be prepared to defend your material during our discussion in class.
You may not use the same answer another student has already used, so it is best to get the assignment started early! Once you have posted your alternative experiment, you need to respond to 2 other student's material. Do you agree with their hypothesis? Why or why not?
Some options for resources are:
Indiana PBS Learning Media
OER (Open Educational Resources) Commons
SAS Curriculum Pathways
NBC Learn K-12
3. The third social network you will need to access is Diigo. Add your resources to our class group, called Atoms and Molecules. You will have an invitation to our group in your district-assigned email inbox. Please look for it.
