1. The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.
1. This week in the lab, we addressed the big question of how to create a safe and exciting school playground. We designed an experiment in which an egg (a child) was dropped into a bowl (the playground's ground). We worked together to provide the egg with the softest landing possible. 
2. A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.
1. Exam
3. Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:
1. What did you learn?
1. Something I learned from the readings was the use of formative assessments. 
2. What was most helpful?
1. The most helpful thing about the reading was that it provided us with new options for formative assignments. For example, the line of learning, where after a student's work is corrected, they draw a line under it and redo it. 
3. What do you need more information on?
1. I'd like more information on how an object can move at a constant speed without a force pulling or pushing it. 
4. What questions/concerns/comments do you have?
1. Other than the question above, I have been grasping the concepts well.
