OBJECTIVE:  Formative quiz

I will work with my team to review last Friday's reading ("The Last Question", but Isaac Asimov)

WORDS FOR TODAY:

1. 10^-43 sec: Planck Time- The farthest back in time we think we'll *ever* be able to describe with science & math
2. 10^-32 sec: Inflation- The Universe expands *suddenly* faster than the speed of light.
3. 10^-6 sec: First particles (electrons!)
4. 3 min: Still too hot for light (Dark Time!)
5. 300,000 years: The Universe cools off enough for electrons to get captured to form complete hydrogen and helium atoms.
6. 1 Billion years: Stars & Galaxies Form
7. Current Era (13.7 billion years ABB)

WORK O' THE DAY: 

Before we mush on, we'll do a formative quiz on Cosmology so far HERE?

A formative quiz or test is something we teacher-folk use to FORM or design or adjust our instruction. It is not graded.

Please read the questions *carefully*. At least one question will offer two very similar answers, you need to carefully choose the correct answer.

We're a GO for observations tonight. It's not all that great but we do need to practice!

My admins sent me a note *ahem* reminding me that I haven't yet created a 'matrix' of norms -- let's do that now.

Now please jot down a few notes of recollections from our reading on Friday. You don't need to write in full sentences, short phrases should work nicely.

Take a few moments to share those with your team-- be sure to write your colleague's responses down as well (you might also want to score those from 1 - 3 or 1 - 5 or some such as to how much you agree with those).

Let's discuss!
