TPACK QUESTIONS

What is the content you'll be using in your lesson?
We focused on friction and the effects of different objects making friction.  

What is the pedagogy you are using and why is it a good fit with the content?
We used discovery learning and collaborative learning that are both important pedagogical concepts.  Working in groups is an essential part of the learning process and helps children learn to work together and brainstorm together.  It is a great fit with content together because we were able to successfully learn about friction as well as technology. 

What is the technologoy you'll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy? 
We used a probe to measure the temperature of the objects we used to make friction.  We used a program on the computer that tracks the temperatures and records it in a graph fashion.  This program made it so much more fun to measure friction and extremely easy to read!
